Prayer of the Week 14 July 2024

We come before you with hearts full of gratitude and praise.
Your steadfast love endures forever, and your faithfulness reaches to the heavens.
We thank you for being our strength and our song, and for becoming our salvation.
Lord, just as the psalmist rejoiced in your deliverance,
we too rejoice in the victory you have given us through Jesus Christ.
When we are pushed hard, feeling as if we are falling, you, Lord, are our help.
You are our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
We will not fear, for you are with us all the days of our lives.
Amen

Prayer of the Week 26 May 2024

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
