TO USE IF YOU FEEL APART FROM GOD OR FEEL A BURDEN OF SIN
- Lord,
- I bring before you the burdens I have been carrying, the things of my life that are not right. I lay them before you, Lord, and ask your forgiveness. Almighty and merciful God of love and forgiveness, forgive me my sins, and keep me in eternal life.
A PRAYER OF THANKS
- I thank you Heavenly Father,
- For all your goodness to me; for the world in which I live, with its wonder and beauty; for life and health, for my friends and home. I thank you for Jesus Christ your Son who gave His life for me and showed me the way. Go with me now and keep me forever in your peace.
TO USE IF YOU ARE WORRIED OR IN TROUBLE
- Lord Jesus,
- By the loneliness of your suffering on the Cross, be near me in my need. Banish my fear, increase my faith; hold me in your love and fill me with your peace. For your Name’s sake.
FOR SOMEONE ELSE
- Remember in mercy,
- Our Father, those who are burdened with illness, and especially those of whom I am now thinking in my prayers……Bless all that is being done for their good, and surround them with your healing love and power. For the sake of Jesus Christ our Saviour.
TO USE IN THE STILLNESS
- Lord,
- I come to you in the assurance that you are present with me now. I do not have to seek your presence; I am living daily in your presence. Make me aware of it, make it real to me. Help me in these moments to know that I am speaking to the One who is near, whose love is all around us and who knows our every need. I ask this through our Saviour Jesus Christ.
