Eternal God,
In the sorrow of our divided world, may we find joy in the love of Christ.
In the sorrow of inequality, may we find joy in the kindness of Christ.
In the sorrow of grief, may we find joy in the peace of Christ.
In the sorrow of our hearts, may we find joy in the gentleness of Christ.
Now and always. Amen.

Dragwyddol Dduw,
yng ngofid ein byd rhanedig, boed inni ganfod llawenydd yng nghariad Crist;
yng ngofid anghydraddoldeb, boed inni ganfod llawenydd yng ngharedigrwydd Crist;
yng ngofid adegau o alar, boed inni ganfod llawenydd yn nhangnefedd Crist.
Yng ngofid ein calonnau ni, boed inni ganfod llawenydd yn addfwynder Crist,
yn awr a phob amser. Amen

Andrew Charlesworth, Chair, Methodist Cymru

A Chaplain’s Prayer: Lord, today I will encounter those struggling with life: the lost, the weary, the lonely. Amidst their pain and despair, help me to illuminate their lives with your kindness and compassion, let my words be encouraging and welcoming, and may they see in my eyes your love and acceptance.

Help me to point them towards moments of peace and show them glimmers of hope as they rest in your presence. May I take time today to remind all those I meet that they are a Child of God and loved beyond measure. Amen.

Alexander Campbell OBE, Chief Executive QVSR (Queen Victoria Seafarers Rest)

God of mercy and compassion,
We give thanks for the continued presence of your Church
in its many different forms, expressions and traditions,
at the heart of local communities,
close to home, and all around the world.
May that presence be a source of hope, support and encouragement
in times of suffering and uncertainty,
offering welcome, hospitality and the joy of connection and belonging
to those who need it most.
Strengthen our commitment to the work of Christian unity so that together we can better serve a wounded world,
in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
