Father, you are the king of heaven, above all forms of earthly kingship;
Jesus, you are the king of love incarnate, our Saviour, lover of souls;
Holy Spirit, you are the spirit of divine kingship, surging among us in power and glory.
We adore you, not with gold and jewels or the symbols of earthly rulers,
but with hearts and minds open to the love and wisdom of your divine leadership.
Amen

Living and Loving God, just as you restored health to the woman who touched Jesus’ robe and brought life to Jairus’ daughter, we come to you in faith, believing in your power to heal and restore. Touch our lives and the lives of those we hold dear, that we may experience your miraculous healing in the coming week. Strengthen our faith to trust in your timing and your will in n Jesus’ name.
Amen

Lord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good thing,
graft in our hearts the love of your Name, increase in us true religion,
nourish us with all goodness, and bring forth in us the fruit of good works;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen

Restless God, we know that you never rest in your love and concern for all of creation.
We know that you ceaselessly search us out, calling us to be here together
in prayer and song and word.
We know that you do not rest until justice rains down on the earth and until mercy flows like a river.
We are your people, your community, your family.
Today we open ourselves to your restless Spirit
and live in expectation of your transformative work in our lives.
Amen

Loving and merciful God, in your bountiful goodness, you nourish and sustain us with the bread of life.
As we journey through the challenges of this world, grant us the wisdom to discern your will,
the courage to follow your commandments, and the perseverance to abide in your love.
May we grow in holiness and be a light to those around us, that in all things, your glory may resound.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

God who made the soil and sky, may our praise reveal your beauty.
In your mercy, grant us the wisdom to care for the earth and till it.
Help us to act now for the good of future generations and all your creatures.
Help us to become instruments of a new creation, founded on the covenant of your unconditional love.
Amen

God in three persons, on this Trinity Sunday
we’re struck by the perfect unity and diversity within your nature.
We, as your image-bearers, are called to reflect this in our communities.
Just as you three persons work together in harmony,
teach us to value and celebrate the unique contributions of those around us.
May our differences be a source of strength, not division.
As the Father, Son and Spirit share the same essence,
remind us that our shared identity in Christ is greater than any earthly distinction.
Help us build each other up, rather than tear down with comparison or competition.
Amen

Living God, you sent the Holy Spirit to breathe life into your church.
Let us no longer be captives to fear, but messengers of your saving love,
so that all may be reconciled to you.
Let your Spirit of truth abide with us so that we may live in hope,
grow in faith, and keep your commandments of love;
in the name of the Risen Christ who promised and sent the empowering Spirit.
Amen
