Sunday Intercessions

 Watchful at all times,

let us pray for strength to stand with confidence

before our Maker and Redeemer.

We pray that God may bring in his kingdom with justice and mercy,

Lord in your mercy.

Hear our prayer.

 

We pray that God may establish among the nations

his sceptre of righteousness, strengthening us to speak your truth to powers that threaten to overcome us, help us to speak up for the voiceless and the vulnerable like the Prophets.

Lord in your mercy

Hear our prayer.

 

We pray that we may seek Christ in the Scriptures

and recognize him in the breaking of the bread,

help us to draw ever more closer to you and find the time to rest and know you more and

more.

Lord in your mercy,

Hear our prayer

 

We pray that God may bind up the brokenhearted,

restore the sick and raise up all who have fallen.

We pray for those injured and killed in the explosion in Bristol.

We pray particularly for those in our community, those living on Thorpe

Close, and those living in Milfield and Oakdene residential homes.

We bring to you O God those who are known to us who need the healing touch of Jesus,

Jean Smith, Christine Moorfield, Enid Firth, Evelyn, Mary Lawton, Alma and Grace Stansfield,

Carrie-Ann, Bernard, Mark, Betty Heap, Andrew Fawcett, Nazir Ismail, Carole and David.

Lord in your mercy,

Hear our prayer.

 

We pray that the light of God’s coming may dawn

on all who live in darkness and the shadow of death. Especially those who

have died recently, including Kieren Farrell.

In years mind we remember, Hilda Cooper, James Makinde, Cyril Ranson,

and Trevor styles.

We pray also for Ann Sutcliff, as she is laid to rest on Monday.

Lord in your mercy

Hear our prayer

 

We pray that, with all the saints in light,

we may shine forth as lights for the world,

we pray especially for our young people in the congregation, and all who

attend our local schools, and we pray for the safe journey of university

students, and all students coming back home to their families.

Lord in your mercy

Hear our prayer.

 

We commend ourselves and all for whom we pray

to the mercy and protection of our heavenly Father:

 Merciful father accept these prayers,

 for the sake of your son

our saviour Jesus Christ.

Amen
