July & August 2025
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3: 5-6
Let us give thanks for the recent VE Day celebrations organised by the Guild, for solemn remembrance and a time of fellowship.
As we look forward to the appointment of a new minister pray for the Nominating Committee in all the planning. Pray too for the new minister.
As we see so many new houses being built locally may we be ready to offer a spiritual home to people who come to live here. Pray for adequate infrastructure to cope with the new arrivals.
Continue to pray about the Assisted Dying Bill going through parliament at Holyrood and Westminster. May this controversial bill be defeated and those who draw near to ‘end of life’ know all possible care and compassion. Help all who work in palliative care to manage pain and support families.
Please remember all known to ourselves enduring daily pain. Give thanks for caring doctors and nurses.
May we give thanks for this beautiful world and ask God to help us care for it and conserve its valuable resources especially if we have a time of drought this summer. May God help us to find new ways to restore and renew our planet.
We ask for wise decisions to be taken regarding immigration policies. We pray for all who have come here as refugees displaced from their homes because of conflict, persecution or violation of their human rights. May all who seek refuge be treated with justice and mercy.
In many countries Christians are persecuted for their faith. We pray that our loving heavenly Father will give them courage and strength in difficult times. May their Christian witness speak well of Jesus.
God bless all who hold power and authority in our land. May they ever seek to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God.
God keep safe all who travel in the summer months. We ask that wherever there is any work of outreach or mission there will be blessing.
Prayer @ Ten resumes in September. All welcome
