Oh Lord, you know every tear that has fallen onto our cheeks.

and not to hold back or try to be strong on their own

Thank you that you care about every single tear drop that falls from our eyes,
it is not lost on you.
Help us to mourn alongside these parents,
and help us to continue to trust you moving forward CONTINUE READING ...

A Prayer for God’s Forgiveness

A Prayer for God’s Forgiveness

In Jesus’ name we pray:

Almighty Father, forgive the sins that we remember and the sins we have forgotten.
Forgive our many failings in the face of temptation, and those times when we have been stubborn.
Those times when we have ignored those less fortunate than us or been too busy to notice. Forgive us when we forget the beauty of your world or take things for granted.
Forgive us when our courage fails us and we doubt our ability to bring about change.
Be with us in all we try to do and give us strength to do your will. CONTINUE READING ...

Prayer from the Archbishop of Canterbury

In February 2022, when war in Ukraine began, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York wrote a prayer for the country and its people:

A Prayer for Ukraine

God of peace and justice,
we pray for the people of Ukraine today.
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.
We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow,
that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.
We pray for those with power over war or peace,
for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.
Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear,
that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Amen CONTINUE READING ...
