PRAYER FOR EASTER WEEK 5^TH – 12^TH

I am the door of the sheep…. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:7&10)   On this the most special day of our year we thank you, Lord Jesus, for new life in you.  We pray for all who struggle with their faith and all who have no faith in you.  We ask that your message of love, joy, purpose and peace may reach all who stir up hatred and reject your ways of compassion, understanding and care for the most needy in our world.  Help us to share your message of abundant life in our giving, our words and our deeds.  Amen

HAPPY EASTER!

PRAYER FOR THE WEEK 12^th – 19^th

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant (Psalm 119:176)   We thank you, Lord Jesus, that as the good shepherd you seek out the lost sheep and will be with us no matter what happens to assail us in our lives.  We ask that in difficult times you will seek us out and hold us safe even when we don’t feel you near.  We pray for all who feel alone, bereft, bereaved, abandoned, that you will be alongside them, sharing their suffering and bringing your comforting presence into their lives.  Amen
