Prayer for March 2024

Heavenly Father,

As we travel through lent and approach Easter we are again reminded of                                                                Christ’s great sacrifice on the cross. As we prepare for  Holy Week we ask                                                                that you again walk with us through the Easter Story.  Awaken our awareness of the cruelty of the crucifixion  and the miracle of the empty tomb.

We thank you Lord that Christ gave His life for the forgiveness of our sins and opened a gateway to you. We thank you that He did not abandon us on that cross , but that he rose again and   stays  with us always, through the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Help us Lord to always recognise Your love and to reach out to others with that love ,  just as Jesus taught us to do.

We pray that through the Easter Story, as all Christians worldwide celebrate the resurrection,  others will come to know You  and Your unconditional love.  We pray Lord that their hearts will be open to that love.

As we celebrate the resurrection we are also celebrating Spring and the growth                                                of new birth all around us.   Bulbs that have lain dormant all winter have pushed                            through the cold soil to reveal masses of beautiful flowers.  Delicate snowdrops,  crocus,                                            daffodils and tulips in all their colourful glory.  We are also witnessing the                                              blossom starting to bud on the trees.

Your wonderful creation Lord,  so beautiful to behold  and we thank You.

This month Lord as we also celebrate Mothering Sunday,  we give thanks to all the                                     mothers worldwide who tend and nurture their children with unconditional love.

Sadly Lord as we are living in a world torn with hatred and war  we are seeing many children losing their mothers and many mothers losing their children to bombs, bullets and now hunger.  Their lives will never be the same again Lord but we pray that through your love they will find some comfort and through the help of relatives and friends they will one day find a glimmer of hope so that they can face the future. We commit them to You Lord in their hours of grief and ask that You enfold them in Your arms.

We pray for all who are in need at this time and pray that their needs be met, whatever they may be.  May they find refuge in your love,  grace  and mercy.  May they lift their eyes towards you and accept those great gifts.

We ask that You be with us all at this very special Eastertime.

 Amen


 



 



Lord God,
We ask you to hold the people of Ukraine deep in your heart.
Protect them, we pray;
from violence, from political gamesmanship,
from being used and abused.

Give, we pray, the nations of the world the courage
and the wisdom to stand up for justice
and the courage too, to dare to care―generously.

Lord, in your mercy, take from us all the tendencies in us
that seek to lord it over others:
take from us those traits that see us pursuing our own needs and wants before those of others.

Teach us how to live in love and dignity and respect―following your example.
In your name and for your sake,
Amen
