For those struggling
With suffering
With the absence of hope
In and through Christ Jesus we pray together, Amen.

O LORD, hear our prayers and bless them good we ask – even today.

Thank you Father God for your help and strength
Hear our evening prayers we ask
Especially for those struggling with suffering
In our family
In our Church Family
In our world
In and through Christ Jesus we pray together, Amen.

Pause to Pray for Others

On this Monday in Lent…as the nation and the world wrestles with the crisis in Ukraine – a major concern before us at this time… you are invited to pause and continue to pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.

You are encouraged to continue to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus – in our community, in our nation and in our world, where many are still waiting for vaccine supplies – and for all those in need on our Church Prayer List at this time – and for parts of the world in turmoil at this time

For family and friends and neighbours affected by the coronavirus

For world leaders at this time

For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation

For those who are feeling anxious about health matters at this time

Evening Prayer with Others

As we journey through Lent – with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from LEVITICUS 19 verses 1-16 – as we consider the perfect sacrifice of Jesus

We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer

We REJOICE in the blessings He has given this day – to us and to others

We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others in our world at this time

We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow
