Good morning Cornerstone friends. Welcome back to regular daily prayer bulletins. When we took a break it was still high summer, now on my daily walks in the park I am picking blackberries from the brambles in the hedgerow, the days now feel that much shorter and families are preparing for children returning to school. Let...

Loving God, may we be as those who abide with you;
those who walk blamelessly and do what is right;
those who speak truth from their heart, who do not slander with their tongue
and do no evil to their friends.
Then shall we never be moved from your presence.
Amen
God of the unknown journey, you call us to follow you,
even though we do not know where you might lead us.
You do not provide us a map, but you do offer yourself as guide and travelling companion.
You do not promise an easy path, blue skies, warm sun and pleasant company.
You simply asked us to follow you.
But you provide the nourishment and strength we need for the journey
and for that, Lord, we honour and glorify your name.
Amen

Jesus, our living bread, we have an appetite for you, and we come wanting to feed on your word.
Jesus, you offer life to the world, eternal life, raising us up on the last day.
Keep us hungry for you, with the anticipation of a feast of the finest food – food that brings life.
Amen

Limitless God, thank you that we cannot contain you, that you are unfathomable and always up to something!
We worship and adore you.
Just when we think we have worked it all out, you surprise us!
Gracious God, we are truly blessed by you.
Thank you, that as we bow down humbly at your throne, we know that only you can satisfy our needs.
Praise you, Lord God.
Amen
Christ our Lord, your word says that we should cast all our anxieties on you because you care for us.
We must not be anxious about anything,
but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
we should present our requests to you, and your peace, which transcends all understanding,
will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus.
And so, Lord, we come as we are, trusting that you will give us your rest and peace in Jesus’ name.
Amen

A reading from Psalm 78 23 Yet he gave a command to the skies above and opened the doors of the heavens; 24 he rained down manna for the people to eat, he gave them the grain of heaven. 25 Human beings ate the bread of angels; he sent them all the food they could eat. 26 He let loose...
Reading and Studying the Word of God My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your sight; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their body. Proverbs 4: 20–22 NASB The...
Good morning, good people on this last Wednesday of July. Yesterday we had the funeral of our sister in Christ, Joy Okwuadigbo, a strong, tenacious and loving lady, a good example to follow. 1 The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake. 2 Great is the Lord in Zion;...
Lord of all creation, giver of life, we offer ourselves to you.
Teach us how to give ourselves to others, generously and wholeheartedly, sharing who we are and what we have.
May we learn to share all the world’s resources, so that everyone has enough of the good things that you provide.
May we all rejoice in your goodness.
Amen
