In the freshness of a new day we come before you Lord

in prayer. What a chance we have today to begin again, the

slate wiped clean! We pray that as always you, will accept

us as we are, sins and all.

A new day given by Almighty God in which we can proclaim

his name and do as he would have us do.

During a busy morning we often forget our prayers, but it

takes only a few minutes to allow Jesus into our hearts we

know he stays there for the rest of the day helping and guiding.

Sometimes we think that we can manage by ourselves, but

that is not the case we need you Lord Jesus.

Without the presence of the Holy Spirit all our acts and deeds

are worthless.

We try to accomplish all sorts of acts of kindness but even acts

of kindness get pushed to the side by our “busyness”.

Busy at work      busy in the home         busy with children

busy for the sake of being busy. We pray Lord that in our modern

lives we remember to put you first even on the busy busy days.

We bring these our thoughts and prayers to you through our

Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ  Amen.

We come before you God Almighty in prayer, with humble

hearts and minds. Its so easy to be over confident, but to be

humble now that takes time!

We pray that when we look to Jesus and his teachings we can

learn true humility.

When we pray to you Lord we specifically mention our family

and friends first and self last. We must also remember during

the day that thought (  others first self last) must also stay true.

Its not I’ll do this or I’ll do that but what can I do for others.

We know that you will keep us right if we just ask.

We pray as often as possible and with your guidance our prayers

will come to fruition. You never let us down Lord.

At this time our prayers go out to our brothers and sisters in war

torn Syria. There are many Christians there but they are now

fleeing for their very lives. We pray that a solution will be found

whereby people can live side by side no matter what they believe.

We will try to remember the Christian Syrians in all our prayers

this week because if we don’t remember them  who will?

We ask that you will hear our prayers, brought to you through

Jesus Christ your beloved son our saviour. Amen.

Oh God our loving Heavenly Father we come before you

rejoicing and thankful for everything you have given us.

Sometimes when we come before you in prayer, we tend

to be quiet and serious but today we are happily smiling and

filled with joy.

We pray Father that our happiness is reflected in our faces

and people can see that we really are the children of God.

We must make sure that all we do comes right back to Jesus

in a positive way, again we thank you Lord for everything.

Some of us are perhaps not feeling just too well and we need

you even more. For who is the friend we can talk to when we

are alone. Who is the friend we can count on for sympathy .

Who is the friend there in the middle of the night.

Many of us live alone quite happily but in that dark hour before

dawn when we are in pain and no one is there, YOU oh Lord

cradle our lonely bodies and make all the difference to us.

We pray that you will never forsake us.

Some of us are just so happy and everything is going so well

We cant tell you just how much your presence in our lives

makes to us. We pray Lord that you will always know we love you.

So Gracious God from all of us well or ill, happy or subdued

we again say thank you for everything.

We bring these prayers to you through Jesus Christ our Lord 

and saviour Amen

Gods love is with us at all times and we pray that we will

not be afraid no matter what life throws at us.

Although we cannot see you Lord our hearts are filled with

the Holy Spirit and we know that you are there.

You Lord are the friend walking beside us

You Lord are the friend sustaining and helping us

You Lord are the friend comforting and consoling us

You Lord are the friend there for our whole life

We thank you Loving Heavenly Father with all our hearts.

We pray that in the coming week we will be able to think

about what you would like us to do;

some tasks are so small and easy, we  sometimes forget

that these are duties you want us to perform.

Never let us shirk Lord, every day is there to glorify your

name and do a good deed, perhaps more than one!

We pray that we will be able to be more like Jesus in whose

Holy name we bring these prayers to you.    Amen.

                 The Power of Prayer

When we pray to God we are communicating and building

a relationship with him.

We pray Lord that we will always be able to keep our “prayer

line” to you open.

You tell us that when we call to you,     you always listen what

more could we ask.

Although God already knows everything we speak about, he

wants us to bring our cares and concerns to Him as a way of

putting everything in perspective.

We gain so much from prayer ;

a stillness     in a noisy world,

a sense of peace in our hectic lives,

an enduring love that stays with us all the time

and is always there,

plus the sheer joy of speaking with our Father.

We pray that this time alone with God will be all that we need

to go forth in confidence, and be able to do his work.

These prayers are asked in Jesus name.     Amen.

.

We pray Gracious God that today you will hear your eager

servants cry out to you, in music and song. We don’t have to

be musical we just need to love the lord.!

We pray this week that you will be with all those who are

weary and tired help them please,

“Love divine all loves excelling”

We pray for all the children whose lives you have changed,

may they go forward always with their eyes on You

“Here I am lord, It is I lord”

We pray for those who are not as committed as others

“Bind us together Lord”.

We praise and thank you for the Christian Fellowship that

we all share world wide

“Shine Jesus Shine”

We thank you lord for the beauty that surrounds us,

“All things and beautiful”

We pray that you will bless all our family and friends who

are ill please be with them,

“Be thou my vision oh lord of my heart”

We pray lord that you will rejoice with us at the mention of

these hymns and songs      Old ones New ones

“Then sings our soul --   How Great Thou Art “

We bring our prayers to you through Jesus Christ our Lord

Amen

As we bow down before you Lord of all, hear us.

We pray Heavenly Father that you will hear our cries

for mercy and redemption.

Many  times we try to do the right thing or to be

the right person; we know Lord, what we should be

doing and saying but we find it difficult to carry out.

We earnestly pray for help because we have become

bogged down. We don’t mean to be negative in our

thoughts and deeds and now that we have come before

you the answers to our questions come streaming out.

We pray that by asking your help always, and in everything

we do, you will look down with favour and guide our

steps showing the way and lightening the darkness.

Always  Father, let us be humble, remembering the last

shall be first and let us think of others before self.

In prayer and praise Gracious God we thank you for

everything you have done for us and for all you will continue

to do. We know this will happen because you told us so.

God bless our friends, family and loved ones that they may

also benefit from your all encompassing love.

We bring our prayers through Jesus our Lord and saviour

Amen.

Dearest Father our prayers today begin with thankfulness

for all you have done for us.

When you come to meet with us in prayer your  love

is all encompassing, given freely and always will be.

It is wonderful to be blessed in the knowledge that you

will look after us each and every day.

At this time Lord we remember all our friends who are ill,

those you need your extra help. We pray that you will

be by their side giving them the strength they need.

Also Lord please help those who are not seriously ill but

find it difficult in the  day to day, living with ailments that

wear down the spirit. Help them we pray.

a

We are far from perfect and although we pray with meekness

and reverence sometimes we miss the point and make

you unhappy. We know what you expect of us and

we will try our best.

As we start into a new week we pray that you will be with

members of our church family as they go on holiday,

in happiness and fellowship .Please Lord keep them safe and well.

Thank you for listening Heavenly Father and we bring these

prayers through your beloved son Jesus Christ our Lord and Master.

Amen.

                        Christian Aid Week

 Merciful Redeemer we come before you in this Christian

Aid Week to intercede for all who need your help.

We pray father that we who have so much can give to

those who have so little, especially those who have nothing.

They do not want constant hand outs, they want the help

to get started, helping themselves and their families.

They want to be self sufficient with some dignity and self worth.

This is where the Christian Aid workers and advisors

come into there own. We pray that with their expertise they

can bring light to the darkness of poverty and want.

Although this week is special, in the way of recognition, the work

goes on all year round and we must be able to think of different

ways of giving to make Christian Aid alive and fresh if we are

to do as you would have us do Heavenly Father

.

Let us look with your eyes and see what needs done and do it

with a cheerful smile and a willing heart.

We ask these things in Jesus name and for his sake.   Amen
