PRAYER FOR THE WEEK     

Lord, with so many news items making the world seem more of a mess, may this New Year be the start of a more positive era, enabling more people to come to know You and help those who find life so difficult.  As the Kings who brought treasures to Jesus, may the leaders of the nations find ways to bring peace to their citizens and to their neighbours.  Amen
