Prayer of the Week 6 April 2025

Loving God, who makes paths through mighty waters, and brings forth springs in the desert places:
grant us hearts like Mary’s, lavish in devotion and unafraid of criticism,
that we may pour out our very best in worship of your Son,
not just this Lenten and Easter season, but throughout our discipleship lives
to the glory of your name, the growth of your kingdom and to the welfare of your Church
for we ask in Jesus’ name.
Amen

Prayer of the Week 30 March 2025

Loving God, like Moses` mother and Mary, who placed their complete faith in you,
trusting in your providence, we too place our deepest hopes and fears in your hands.
When we feel powerless in the face of circumstances beyond our control,
remind us that you see us, just as you saw that humble basket among the reeds.
Like Mary, we stand before you with hearts both hopeful and anxious.
Give us, we pray, the faith to trust you in times of uncertainty,
knowing that you hold all our lives in your careful keeping.
Amen

Prayer of the Week 16 March 2025

Gracious God, as we gather in your presence this day
remind us that you are the One who has brought us this far,
who shelters us under the shadow of your wings, who calls us to dwell in your house for ever.
Open our eyes to see your light, open our hearts to receive your love,
open our lives to follow your way, even when that path leads through difficulty.
Like Jesus, who set his face toward Jerusalem despite the dangers that awaited him,
make us faithful to your calling.
Amen

Prayer of the Week 9 March 2025

Loving God, as we begin this new week, we seek shelter in your presence,
just as the psalmist found refuge under your wings.
You are our fortress and our God, in whom we place our complete trust.
Like Jesus in the wilderness, we face times of testing in our daily lives.
When we encounter temptations to doubt your goodness, to seek power on our own terms,
or to test your faithfulness, grant us the wisdom and strength that your Son showed.
Help us to stand firm in your Word,
knowing that you alone are our true sustenance in Jesus’ Mighty Name.
Amen

Prayer of the Week 2 March 2025

Holy and transforming God, like Moses on Sinai and Jesus on the mountain,
draw us into your radiant presence.
Though we cannot bear to look upon your full glory, let your light shine through us,
making holy what is ordinary, transforming what is earthly into divine.
Speak to us from within and open our ears to hear Jesus’ voice, our eyes to glimpse your glory.
Give us courage to follow where Christ leads, down from the mountain and into the valley of service,
not by our own power, but by your grace working within us.
Amen
