Prayer for the Day
A prayer that our lives may sing of God's faithfulness
Lord of all creation, you have written our story with hands of grace.
Every chapter filled with mercy. Every verse a melody of love.
May our lives sing of your faithfulness.
Let our story be a testament of your goodness
and our song a sweet offering before your throne.
You weave sorrow in strands of gold, turning burdens into blessings unseen.
Teach us to sing through every season,
to trust when the road is steep,
to know that your goodness is the chorus that carries us home.
You, O Lord, are our keeper,
our composer, our strength, our song.
To you be all the glory, forever and ever.

A prayer that we might be God's forever
God of love, awaken our souls. God of power, protect us in temptation. God of forgiveness, cleanse us by the blood of Christ. God of saints, let us share in their inheritance. God of rest, let us be yours for ever. Amen.
A Prayer for an End to Violence Against Women and Girls
Merciful God,
We lift before You all women and girls who suffer from violence,
those whose bodies and spirits have been wounded,
and those who live in fear, silence, or shame.
Surround them with Your healing love,
and give them courage to reclaim their lives.
We pray for justice and compassion - that hearts may turn from cruelty to kindness,
and that leaders, communities, and families will stand together to protect the vulnerable.
Teach us to speak out against abuse, to comfort those in pain, and to build a world where every woman and girl can live in safety, dignity, and peace.
Through Your grace, may love triumph over violence, and hope rise stronger than fear.
Amen.
