Summer 2024
Week 1 Bible text Deuteromony 31: 6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” • Loving God, we thank You for coming alongside us when we are most in need. Thank You for always being there for us to turn to. We are ever grateful to You, our refuge and strength, present in times of trouble. Thank You for taking away our fear, for Your power and wisdom to guide and reassure us.. When we cry for help, You will answer. Remind us Lord that You are always with us, You will never leave or forsake us. Amen. • We give You thanks, Lord, for each new day. We give You thanks as the Creator and giver of life. We give you thanks for the people who enrich our lives as they too are gifts from You. Lord, in a world where many are isolated we bring to You those for whom friendship and love are niceties they don't have. We hold before You those people fleeing their native countries and seeking a safer place. We pray for the governments of each nation of Your world, may they know Your wisdom and seek to bring peace and justice above all things. We bring before You at this time the British Royal Family. Give Your peace and comfort to all who are mourning at this time. Amen Week 2 • Loving Lord, be in the hearts and lives of all those who are suffering. Send healing to those who are enduring pain and value to people who feel disregarded. Grant joy to those in great sorrow and hope to those who feel they now have nothing to live for. Provide food for the hungry, shelter to the homeless and community to those who are lonely. |
