PRAYERS FOR APRIL

 

 

   

 

Creator God,

We thank you for our wonderful world of nature. During May we have the glorious sight and smell of woods full of bluebells whilst still seeing the last of our spring flowers and with the promise of the summer flowers to come.  This reminds us that by the Death and Resurrection of your Son, Lord Jesus Christ, we can all enjoy the promise of new life free from sin.  We thank you that you cared enough for us and trusted that we would repay you with our promise to show our love and devotion by doing your will here on earth.

                                                                                     Amen

 

We thank you God for this place and this time, for our past and our future, that the days of our lives and the hairs on our head are numbered and known by you. We thank you Jesus for your costly love for us, for the wonder that to you we are precious, worth dying for. We thank you Holy Spirit for guiding us through this time and the journey of our lives to this point. Thank you that you have a purpose and a plan for our lives and our futures.  Please take us on Lord, in your ways and to your glory, keeping us safely on the right path from this day and for ever more.

                                                                                       Amen

 

You Lord are a faithful God, watching over us hour after hour, day after day.  You are our loving friend and faithful companion, always there to help in times of need, protect in times of danger and comfort in times of hurt.  May we in turn show this same faithfulness to you and by our words and actions show we are worthy to be called one of your disciples.

                                                                                        Amen.

 

The following prayer is from “A Quiet Word” by Nick Fawcett

 

Loving God, We thank you for your call that comes to us, your call to Discipleship, to service, to be your people, sharing in the work of your kingdom.

We thank you that you call us as we are, with all our faults, weaknesses and doubts, accepting us not through our own deserving, but through your grace, your love, and your mercy.

And we thank you above all for the assurance we have that through his Holy Spirit, Christ is within us, working in our hearts and minds and souls to change our lives and draw us ever closer to you.

Loving God, receive our praise in his name.

 

                                                                                           Amen
