Thursday 2nd October 2025 Silent Prayer from 13.00-13.30

Our text for October: ‘Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone….And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.                                                              Philippians 4 vv 4-5, 7.

Strengthen us Lord in your service that we may be an encouragement to others and hold fast to all that is good.

We pray for peace in the world especially in Ukraine and Sudan, As efforts are being made to end the war in the Holy Land we pray,

Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world. In your mercy, provide for all those in Gaza and beyond who suffer from hunger and starvation, that they may be given both physical bread to nourish their bodies and heavenly bread to sustain their souls. By the power of your Spirit, bring a speedy end to this cruel war, the release of all captives, care for the sick and wounded, comfort for those who have lost loved-ones, and the opening of a pathway for a just and lasting peace here in the very homeland where your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, ministered during his earthly life; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.   Amen.

Merciful Father, accept our prayers for the sake of your Son our Savour Jesus Christ Amen
