Weekly Prayer Resources

We acknowledge the assistance of twelvebaskets in providing these resources.

Wednesday 4th March
Today is marked in some traditions as the feast day of Felix of Rhuys, a hermit and abbot who opened an abbey in Brittany in Northern France.
As our thoughts turn to these ancient spots of peace and prayer, may we seek to be places of safety and connection in our own communities: may our churches, our homes, our lives, become modern monasteries and abbeys.

Thursday 5th March
Breathe on me, O Holy Sprit, that my thoughts may all be holy.
God, we are sorry for the times that we have held other things as more important than you.
For when our thoughts have been mean or selfish or greedy, we ask for your forgiveness.
Thank you, God, that through you we are forgiven, and given the chance to start afresh.

Friday 6th March
As we move into the season of Spring, as new life begins appearing all around us, today I give thanks for the gifts of creation, for the signs of hope and possibility.
Amongst all that is difficult, all that is painful, all that is uncertain, come Lord Jesus, and use the gifts that I have in your service, may they be used for your Kingdom here on earth.

Saturday 7th March
On this day in 1876, Alexander Graham Bell was given a patent for his new invention – the telephone.
All these years later, he could surely not have imagined the development of ‘phones, into the multimedia tools they are today.
As you pray today, give thanks for all the ways we are now connected around the world, and pray for wisdom and grace to guide us as we work out how to use them as a blessing not a burden or an addiction.

Monday 9th March
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy.
Help me to understand something of your holiness, Lord God, and remind me that I can embody your holy nature, here on earth.
Draw me close and fill me with your love. Amen.

Tuesday 10th March
Light a candle. Jesus is the light of the world. Pray about the places you experience darkness in your life, that Jesus light might shine there.

Wednesday 11th March
Open your Bible at the Psalms and read one as a prayer to God. What resonates with you? Consider in what ways these old words feel new to you and offer them to God.

Thursday 12th March
On this day in 1989 Tim Berners-Lee submitted his proposal for an information management system, which eventually became the world wide web, the internet.
Today, we pray for all who work in digital spaces – all who are responsible for making social media, websites and other digital tools safe for all who use them. May sense and safety reign over capitalism and exploitation in key decision making, we pray.

Friday 13th March
Justice-seeking God, today we pray for peace.
It can seem difficult to know how to pray for peace when we know there is still much violence and conflict in our world, but we bring all that to you today, knowing that the world is not ‘as you would have it.’
Come, Prince of Peace, come to a broken world in need, we pray. Amen.

Saturday 14th March
Hear the invitation to be still this Saturday. To hold a moment of quiet and reflect on the week just gone, to ‘check in’ with yourself and how you are doing, and to listen
to the still small voice of God.
Perhaps try to position yourself where you can see a tree or bush or some flowers, and just hold the stillness as you watch and pray.
Come, Lord Jesus. Amen.
