Lent 4

Merciful God,
in Christ you make all things new;
transform the poverty of our nature
by the riches of your grace,
and in the renewal of our lives
make known your heavenly glory;

through Jesus Christ our Redeemer
who is alive with with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God now and for ever.
Amen

A Prayer for Today

Christ be with me, Christ within me,

Christ behind me, Christ before me,

Christ beside me, Christ to win me,

Christ to comfort and restore me,

Christ beneath me, Christ above me,

Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,

Christ in hearts of all that love me,

Christ in mouth of friend and stranger

A prayer for Lent 3

Eternal God,
protector of all who put their trust in you,
without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy;
fill us with your mercy and your grace
that with you to rule and guide
we may so use the good things of this present life
that we do not neglect things of eternal worth;

through Jesus, the Christ,
risen and alive with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

Picture for you Rachel!

A prayer for Lent 2

O God, whose glory it is always to have mercy:
Be gracious to all who have gone astray from your ways,
and bring them again
with penitent hearts and steadfast faith
to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth of your Word, Jesus Christ your Son;
who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

A prayer for the week

Almighty God,
your Son Jesus Christ fasted forty days in the wilderness;
give us grace to direct our lives in obedience to your Spirit;
and as you know our weakness
so may we know your power to save;

through Jesus Christ our Redeemer,
who is alive with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God now and for ever.
Amen.

A prayer for St Davids Day

Lord Jesus,
Help us to notice the little things:
the weary man with the heavy load,
the puzzled stranger who is lost,
the hurt creature by the roadside.
Teach us to see your Spirit working everywhere,
and to be the signs of your love,
so that we may be your faithful witnesses
as David was.

Amen
