Abide with us, Lord, at the opening of the day.
Abide with us in the journeying of our lives.
Abide with us in darkness and in light
Abide with us in our homes and in our church.
Lord, aide with us always, in time and to eternity.

Father of all creation, with thank you that you have given us a world rich in resources and invited us to share in your creative spirit.  Help us to accept with joy the abilities you have given us, neither wasting nor misusing your creation, May we act with reverence and love towards all things and so reflect the great love you have for your creation.

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer

We pray for all wo have been led astray and are caught up in crime or vice.  We ask your blessing upon all who are addicted to drugs.  We remember all who do not know of you or love you.  We ask you to guide and strengthen all who work for the good of others, and all who seek to bring peace to our world.

Lord by you we are wonderfully created.  Help us to use our talents and lives to the benefit of others and to your glory.  May your Church be an instrument of peace in the world.  Lord, forgive the divisions of your Church and help us to see we are one in you.  Help us to work together to bring in your kingdom.

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer

We rejoice in the protection and the peace of our homes.  We thank you for our families and friends and ask your blessing upon them.  We pray for families who have become bored with life and with each other, for couples who have lost the spirit of exploration and adventure.

Mighty God and Saviour, we pray for your Church throughout the world that it may witness to you not only in word but also in deed.  May the Church reflect your love for the world and show your acceptance and forgiveness for all peoples.  We remember all who are persecuted for their faith and all who are prisoners of conscience.

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer

Holy God, we ask your blessing upon all who are baptised ad confirmed in the faith that they may witness to your presence and love.  We pray for preachers and teachers, especially Reverend Gaenor and Judith, our lay reader, that they may seek to reveal the mystery of your being with us.  Lord, guide the mission and outreach of your people.

Father Creator, we ask your blessing upon leaders of peoples and all who influence our lives by their decisions.  We ask your blessing on King Charles and Queen Camilla and all the Royal Family.  Give them wisdom and respect in all their dealings.  We pray for al who work in the field of genetics and those who influence our world by their actions.  We remember all those who seek to show us how to care for the world.  

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

We ask your blessing upon those who feel they are going into the dark and to the end of life.  We pray for political prisoners, especially in Iran, and the work of Amnesty International.  We remember all who are captive to doubt, fear or sin.  We ask your blessing upon all who are suffering from acts of violence and war at this time.  

Blessed are you, Lord our God, for you have called us to be your people, to represent you and to show your love.  By the poor of your Spirit, enable us to live and work to your praise and glory.  

Blessed are you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
