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

Lord God, thank you that you are always showing us new things in our world.

for we ask in the name of the risen Christ.

O Lord, from whom all good things do come:
Grant to us thy humble servants,

Almighty God, our faithful Shepherd, who leads us beside still waters and restores our weary souls:
grant us grace to hear and recognize your voice amidst life’s clamour,

Lord of second chances, like Peter by the morning sea, we stand before you in need of your grace.
You’ve lifted us from depths we never thought we’d escape and turned our mourning into dancing.
This week, help us remember that your love remains steady even when our faith wavers.
When you ask, ‘Do you love me?’ let our hearts respond with simple truth,
not in grand promises, but in faithful action.
And like the dawn breaking over Galilee, let your joy come fresh each morning.
For you have turned our weeping into joy and clothed us with gladness.
Amen

Risen Lord, we give thanks and praise for our many blessings.

You opened our hearts and blessed us with your peace. Thank you, risen Lord.
Because of you we live and grow in witness to your love.
We praise your Holy Name.
Amen
