Creator God, our joy is in the beauty of creation, in the splendour of nature and in bringing well-being and peace to the lives of those we are called to serve.

Generous God, our hearts are filled with sorrow when humanity tears itself apart in war, in conflict, in the devaluing of individuals and of creation.

Pour into us your life-giving grace that we may be the light of heaven in the darkness of the world. May we strive to make the world a better place, strengthened by Christ who lives in and through us. Amen.

Clive Price, Communications Manager, Methodist Ministers’ Housing Society (MMHS)

Pray with us today.

Lord of all creation, you have written our story with hands of grace. Every chapter filled with mercy. Every verse a melody of love. May our lives sing of your faithfulness. Let our story be a testament of your goodness and our song a sweet offering before your throne. You weave sorrow in strands of gold, turning burdens into blessings unseen. Teach us to sing through every season, to trust when the road is steep, to know that your goodness is the chorus that carries us home.

You, O Lord, are our keeper, our composer, our strength, our song. To you be all the glory, forever and ever.

Today is , a time to honour humanitarian workers and to stand with people affected by crises around the world ❤️🖤

🌍 At All We Can, we work with various humanitarian organisations and their workers to put our emergency appeals into action. Without them, we couldn't use your donations to make an impact in communities that desperately need it.

🙏 We hope you'll join us today as we pray for those caught in humanitarian crisis and those who work tirelessly to aid them:

'Saviour God,
You are with us through all of life's challenges and help to still the storms.
On World Humanitarian Day, we bring before you all those affected by disaster:
the devastation of earthquakes,
the overwhelm of floods,
the desolation of droughts,
and communities torn apart by violence.
We pray for humanitarian workers who run towards danger to bring aid, shelter, and hope, and for local organisations that work to prepare communities and reduce the impact of future disasters.
Sustain them in their service, protect them in times of risk, and fill them with courage and hope to continue.
In your mercy, hear us and deliver us.
Amen.'

Join us in a prayer for Colombia, as British Methodists are encouraged to hold the people of Colombia in prayer after a powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck the west of the country on 10 August.

Loving God,
We hold the people of Colombia before you today.
We pray for those who are grieving, for those who have been injured, and for those whose homes, livelihoods and communities have been affected by the earthquake.
We give thanks for the courage, compassion and resilience being shown by neighbours, community leaders, emergency responders and churches as they care for one another. Strengthen all those who are responding to this crisis.
We pray especially for the Colombian Methodist Church as it accompanies communities, joining in with the work of recovery and offering your hope to the people they encounter.
Keep us mindful that we are one body in Christ. As communities across Colombia respond with resilience and compassion, help us in Britain to join with them in prayer, friendship and hope.
Amen.

Pray with us today.

Jesus, our way and our life, your love has broken every barrier down, and by your death and glorious resurrection, you unite all who put their faith in you. In this world of conflict and disunity help us to embody your grace: to be good neighbours, to be friends to all, to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Open our hearts to claim and cherish our shared calling to be your disciples, sharing our life and faith across traditions with grace and joy. Unite our prayer with yours, that in you your children may be one, that the world may believe. In your Holy Spirit we pray. Amen.
