Loving Lord, you are our shepherd, we are your sheep. We will follow you always. Hear our prayers we bring before you.
We pray as we are reminded to fully experience God’s joy and love, that we must let go of unnecessary baggage which only weighs us down and hinders our journey.
As the Red Cross warns of significant barriers to delivering humanitarian aid to war-torn countries, let us come together as a worldwide community and pray for the 25 million people facing acute food insecurity.
As our new government faces big challenges ahead, we pray that priorities like green energy, housing, the NHS, and economic stability prevail for the benefit of all, especially those most in need.
As the academic year draws to a close, we pray for all teachers and pupils. May they have a relaxing summer break and feel ready and refreshed to start new learning adventures in September.
We pray for all those that are feeling burdened and anxious. May the Holy Spirit restore them and bring them peace of mind.
We pray for a moment for our own personal petitions…
Lord, we will be led by you and you alone. Help us to navigate our path in life. Help us to be nurturing disciples with you at the centre of all we do. Amen.
