A Prayer for Today

from the Methodist Prayer Handbook

Prayer for the Day

A prayer that we may give welcome to others

Dear Lord, we come to you in prayer, seeking your guidance to help us to continue to make our churches places of welcome and acceptance.
We know so many people of all ages are lonely and long to belong.
We want to build church families of all ages, who worship together with joy.
We need always to put prayer at the heart of all our planning and action.

Help us to sing a new song that tells of your love, by always listening and learning to become receptive to new ideas that translate into loving action in our neighbourhoods. Amen.

Eileen Simmons, Anna Chaplain and local preacher, Leigh on Sea
Alternative Prayer for the Day

A prayer that God's grace may work through us

Be the beginning, O God, of all our good, the wellspring of all our love and the source of all our freedom. Let your grace work in us, your will be done through us and your protection be over us. Amen.

Mary Ward (1585-1645)

A prayer that all people be blessed

Holy and hidden God, your mystery and majesty fills the earth and all creation. You take sanctuary in the core of our being, and in your being we find refuge and strength. All people bear the stamp of your image – an embodiment of your abounding treasure, your delight and pleasure. Keep us open to your gifts we carry within us and unveil before us your grace and generosity – the shower of your blessings in our engagements and interaction. Hold us in our brokenness. Illuminate us in our darkness. Speak to us in all languages. Bless all who live and give their lives to show us the world you desire. Amen.
