*Prayer of the Day*

Empowering God,

We bring before you those who feel abandoned and powerless.

Those working in low paid jobs and who are still unable to make ends meet.

Those who are sacrificially caring for a relative or friend with no respite.

We bring those whose suffering goes unnoticed and unheeded.

Empowering God, give to them a deep ability to trust and rest in you and give us courage to not only notice but to sacrificially give support wherever we can as, as if we were doing it for you.

Amen.

In sorrow and in joy you meet us.
In despair and in hope,
feeling ignored or fully known.
Help each of us to do the same:
to weep with those who mourn,
to be alongside the wounded,
to reach out to all,
to listen and not be quick to move away.
In this moment – whoever, wherever, however we are –
be our centre, grounding us,
opening our hearts to your grace and bidding. Amen.

Kate Ellis, Anna Chaplain and local preacher, Epworth, Scunthorpe and Gainsborough Circuit

How do you realize you’re out of step with God? In your life, what does being “in step” with the Spirit look like?

Dear Father, thank You that the Holy Spirit helps me walk closely with You. Please help me keep in step with You! For further study, read The Fruit of the Spirit at odbm.org.

Holy One – far beyond our imaginings,
yet coming to meet us through Jesus – in the joy and messiness,
the hopefulness and the hardships of our lives.
May our places of worship be safe and authentic spaces
for sharing who we are and how we are
as we journey alongside one another and with you.
May we listen attentively and compassionately,
as we seek one another’s well-being and flourishing,
knowing that all are cherished by you. Amen.

Ruth Flatman, EDI outreach and support worker, Ceredigion Circuit

God of sorrow and joy,
we bring before you the ache of our world and the wounds of our own communities.
Hold in your tender mercy all who live with the memory of violence and loss,
and all places where fear and harm overshadow daily life.
In Christ, who promises that pain will turn into joy,
stand with those who serve your Church in challenging and fragile times.
By your Spirit, guide us in the work of healing, reconciliation and peacemaking.
Renew our courage, deepen our compassion,
and weave our lives into your great tapestry of hope,
that your risen joy may yet be known among us. Amen.

What city or civilization do you admire and why? How do you think of it when you consider that one day it will no longer exist?

Dear God, please help me serve You well as a citizen of Your kingdom, which can never be shaken.

What if delighting in God changes what our hearts desire?

Psalm 37:4 speaks to the joy we find in God and the trust we place in Him with what matters most to us.
