Prayer for the Day
A prayer for awareness of God's all-sufficient love
Sometimes it seems our tuneless songs are unleashed into emptiness, An unknowable void where nothing is heard.
Remove from us the fear that we are insufficient and that you are unresponsive.
Instead replace it with the knowledge that all we have is you and one another,
And that is enough.
Alternative Prayer for the Day
A prayer for wisdom
Gracious God, give us wisdom to perceive you, diligence to seek you, patience to wait for you, eyes to behold you, a heart to meditate on you and a life to proclaim you, through the power of the Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for all life
Loving God who created all that lives, from the tiniest amoeba to the greatest of whales, which fill us with wonder and awe. We recognise your amazing ability to create out of what seems to be an impossibility, yet, we believe that all things are possible with you and we are grateful for your loving care.
Creator God, we believe that you created us, and that in each of us is something of a seed, an essence from you, a potential to grow and to influence others. May our seed have positive conditions for growth and become an influence for good in the world, helping to care for people in need and preserving life in all its forms.
