Pray with us today.

Before words and beyond imagination, grasped in wonder and beauty, realised in silence, noticed in care; You are Lord.

Within each atom and nucleotide, carried in the rhythm of every breath, borne in the love songs of creation; You are present.

Known in grace, joy and hope, lived in generosity and hospitality, found within and without us; You are love.

Loving Lord, divinely present, may we trust you enough to cease our striving and so attend to your gift among us, which brings meaning to all we are and all we do. Amen.

Helen Kirk, Chair, Chester and Stoke-on-Trent District

Join us in prayer a Pride Month, shared by Pam Gold, Coordinator of the Solidarity Circle for LGBT+

Loving God we thank you for the richness of Diversity which you have created.
As we go through the month of June, when the LGBTQ+ community celebrate Pride, we ask of you:
Teach us the real meaning of 'All are welcome' where all are fully and richly included in every aspect of our Christian Lives.
Reach out to those who do not know you yet but are seeking.
Work on the hearts of those who cannot accept us, that they may have a change of heart and mandate a willingness to be inclusive.
We thank you God for the love you give and we trust that even now hearts are being touched by the power of your Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Pray with us today.

What song shall I sing today? What prayer shall I pray today?

Abide with me, O Love Divine.

Thank you, God, for music and song in our hearts and lives.

I pray to you every new morning, anticipating what might lie ahead.

I pray to you in the afternoon, thinking of family and friends.

I pray to you in the evening, repeating “Thank you, God” for life in all its richness, remembering all who cannot sing or pray because of pain and sorrow in their lives.

What song shall I sing tomorrow? What prayer shall I pray tomorrow?

Pamela Stenson, President, Methodist Women in Britain, Darlington District
