Prayer for the Day

A prayer of thanks for light that never fails

Faithful God, thank you for the light that never fails even in seasons of darkness.
You know all that we carry, especially the moments when hope feels thin,
yet you continually meet us with gentleness and love.
Where relationships are strained, bring healing.
Where hearts are weary, breathe strength.
Where joy has faded, spark it back to life.
Help us notice the quiet gifts in each day – the people who stand with us, the love that shapes us, the grace that restores us.
May gratitude rise within us, and may we journey forwards held by your enduring love. Amen.

Helen Kirk, Chair, Chester and Stoke-on-Trent District

A Prayer for Baby Loss Week

Creator God,
Who loved us before the world began and knit us together in the womb.
We know each and every life you create is precious to you.
We remember all who have been loved, and, especially this baby loss awareness week, those whose memories we cherish.
Be with all who grieve, wherever they are in their journey.
Help us to share our stories, and remember the babies forever carried in our hearts
In your loving name

Amen

A prayer that we may live to God's glory

Be a light, O Lord, to our eyes, music to our ears and contentment to our heart. Be sunlight in our day, food at our table and rest in our night. Receive into your protection our body and our soul, our freedom and our life. Being about your business let us live to your glory. Amen.
