Prayer for the Day
A prayer for God's guidance
Attend our steps, O Lord, as we sing your praise. Direct our paths as we become more than conquerors. Open our mouths as we proclaim the good news of the gospel.
Prayer for the Day
A prayer for discernment
Invitational God, we celebrate the times when we know we are in the right place at the right time.
Thank you for your presence, sometimes quiet and sometimes noisy.
Help us to know the difference between doing lots of things to make us feel of value, and fullness of life.
Incarnational God, thank you for standing alongside us when we don’t know where we are meant to be or what we are meant to do.
Help us to discern what is of you, and what is a distraction.
May your kingdom come. Amen.
A prayer for light from God
In the darkness of your world Lord, I need your light. When I am worried about paying for my heating; the mortgage; the food I will feed myself and my family, I need your light. When I am feeling concerned about the health and well-being of family, friends and strangers, I need your light. In the hours I am in most need I seek you and find you in the food banks; the warm spaces; the cards, emails and telephone calls I receive; the smile and friendly greeting that is unexpectedly given as I go about my day. In those moments, Lord, I find the hidden treasure of hope, peace and love that helps me through another day. Amen.

"For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly." (vv. 21-22)
