Prayers Friday 29th January 2021
Prayers for today Friday 29th January
This week more than 100,000 people have died from Corona virus.
In love we remember them in our prayers today:
In your hands, O Lord,
we humbly entrust all we are connected to ( mention their names) who have gone to be with you Lord.
In this life you embraced them with your tender love;
We now bid them eternal rest.
The old order has passed away:
welcome them home
where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain,
but fullness of peace and joy
with your Son and the Holy Spirit
forever and ever.
We pray for those mourning the death of these beloved ones:
Lord God,
you are attentive to the voice
of our pleading.
Help those who mourn to find in your Son
comfort in their sadness,
certainty in their doubt,
and courage to live through this period of grief. May the never mourn like people without hope.
Make their faith strong
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Health workers all over the world are severely pressed right now.
Lord Jesus please surround all Heath workers with your love, heal, strengthen and encourage them. May they know your presence and your peace.
At every rainfall, there is always peace for the grass, may we continue to experience peace in every area of our life despite the challenges life throws at us.
God Almighty is able to turn our impossibilities to possibilities, and give us a new song.
We pray for great testimonies and miracles that will change the situation of things, the miracle that will wipe our tears, the miracle that will make us burst into laughter and dancing, may we be visited with it today in Jesus Mighty Name.

Healthy Habits: Mark’s Gospel in 40 readings
Last Sunday we reflected on Jesus’ 40 days in the wilderness. The number 40 is often significant in the Bible for a journey of challenge and growth (think about Israel’s 40 years in the wilderness!).
Join us in the “Mark 40 Challenge”!
Read the Gospel of Mark in 40 readings. You could do it in 40 days (good for stamina and discipline) or just read two or three passages per week. The important thing is to commit to it, put the times in your diary and then stick with it as much as possible. That way you will establish the healthy habit of reading the Bible on a regular basis.
Click here for a list of the 40 passages, always with a thought or a question for each day…
Evening Prayer Wednesday 27th January 2021
As we pass the terrible landmark of 100,000 Covid-related deaths across the UK, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York are inviting the nation to pray.
Each person who has died was known and cherished by God.
Mr Welby and Mr Cottrell called on people to join in a “prayer for the nation” at 6pm every day from 1st February.
Read the full text of the letter…
We have started praying on Wednesday at 6pm. Please join us, whether you pray on your own where you are or together on Zoom. Click on the link below to download the prayer sheet for today. It also includes the Zoom link.
