Monday 24th November
Today is marked as international ‘evolution day’, because it marks the anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s Origin of Species, which (contentiously at the time) made the case for evolution, and questioned the historical and scientific basis of the Creation Story in Genesis.
It may seem a strange prayer-prompt, and perhaps one not everyone is comfortable with, but let us use today to pray for scientists and researchers everywhere who help explore the edge of knowledge, to help us learn and grow, and for the amazing ways in which science works together with faith.

Tuesday 25th November
Today is celebrated as the ‘feast day’ for Isaac Watts, the prolific hymn-writer and theologian, who died on 25th November 1748. He is recognised as the ‘Godfather of English Hymnody’ and many of his hymns are still sung today.
You might like to spend the day researching or looking up an Isaac Watts hymn or two, and using the words as a prayer or prayer prompt.
If you are not sure where to start, 330 in Singing the Faith, Joy to the World, is a Watts classic!

Wednesday 26th November
Today, why not use your meals as a trigger for prayer. Every time you sit down to eat, or prepare some food, or open the fridge – you could say a prayer of thanks to God for all the blessings you have in your life, and indeed for all those involved in growing, preparing and transporting food.

Thursday 27th November
Today, let us pray for peace. It can feel difficult to pray for peace in a world where there is so much conflict and war. Spend some time offering thoughts of peace and comfort in place of all the negative news stories we hear about war.

Friday 28th November
Hold a moment of stillness today,
And make some space to pray,
Not with words, but with silence,
And hear the Lord speaking to you.

Saturday 29th November
Today is the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, established by the UN in 1977. Amongst so much uncertainty, war and talk of genocide facing Palestinians today, let us pray for them and stand in solidarity in whatever ways we can.
