Prayer pointers for the Benefice
Please
pray for our Churchwardens and PCCs as we move forward during the vacancy in
post, and seek to appoint a new minister for our benefice.
Please pray for the couples who are preparing to get married in our churches
this year.
We pray for all those who are ill, among them Peter Snelling, Nicky
Bull and Vivienne Wilkinson, James Stock and any others who need God’s healing
and wholeness.
We
remember all those who have recently died, may they rest in peace and rise in
glory, and may those who mourn be held in God’s love and comforted in their
grief.
🙏 A Prayer for Family and Friends
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the gift of the people I hold dear.
Bless my family with unity, peace, and joy in every season.
Surround my friends with love, strength, and hope in times of need.
Protect them from harm, guide their steps, and fill their hearts with courage.
May laughter brighten their days, and may kindness follow them wherever they
go.
Help us to cherish one another, forgive quickly, and love deeply.
In all things, let Your grace be our anchor and Your light our path.
Amen.
