God of Mercy, we thank you for the gift of life and for every new day you set before us.
Fill our hearts with gratitude for your constant love and mercy.
As we step into the week ahead, grant us your grace to walk in faith,
to serve with kindness, and to live as reflections of your compassion.
Guide our words and actions and keep us mindful of your presence in all we do.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen

Gracious God, we thank you for the gift of this gathered church and for your steadfast presence among us.
As we step into a new week, fill our hearts with gratitude for your daily mercies
and open our eyes to the opportunities you set before us.
Grant us wisdom to discern your will, courage to do what is right, and compassion for those we meet along the way.
Guide our words, shape our actions, and keep us mindful of your Spirit at work in and through us, today and always.
Amen

God of promise and hope, you call us to trust you in all things
and to live as people who are ready and expectant for your kingdom.
Grant us faith like Abraham, that we may believe your word even when the future is uncertain.
Kindle in us the light of Christ, so that we may remain watchful, generous, and eager to serve.
May we find our true security, not in what we possess, but in your unfailing love,
as we ask through the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

Prayer of the Week

Living God, you alone are our hope and our treasure.
Turn our hearts from the things that fade away
and teach us to trust in your mercy rather than in wealth or our own strength.
Grant us wisdom, contentment, and generosity, that we may seek your kingdom above all else
and find true riches in Christ Jesus our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Amen

Prayer of the Week

God of steadfast love, you call us to be rooted in Christ and to trust in your generous care.
Grant us grace to grow deep in faith, to seek you in prayer, and to ask boldly for what we need.
May your Spirit nourish us, so that we overflow with thankfulness and share your gifts with the world.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Amen

Living God, give us eyes to see you in creation, in strangers, in one another; give us ears to hear you in words, in music, in silence; give us voices to proclaim you in our homes, churches and communities; and give us lives to celebrate, serve and revere you in all places, at all times and...

Gracious God, you call us to love you with all our heart and to show mercy to our neighbours.
Grant us, by your Spirit, the wisdom and strength to walk in your ways,
to bear fruit in every good work, and to grow in the knowledge of your love.
Open our eyes to the needs around us, and make us quick to offer compassion,
that we may reflect the grace and forgiveness we receive in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen
