Our Prayers for others - text follows below:         

Let us pray

For our world, bringing before You those meeting soon to share strategies to prevent more climate change, and allow our world to heal
   For those teaching and publicising the simple things we can all do to help in our world’s healing.

For our country, as people adjust to changes of levels, and the frustration of not being able to do what we want to do, when we want to do it.
     For businesses struggling to get under way, and become financially viable again.

For hospitals with tired staff looking after covid patients, and knowing they face a great back-log of other patients ,all with problems needing to be attended to.

For our Government with all its advisors, seeking to use wise and true advice to make decisions fair on everyone.

For our homes, and those we know whose nerves are stretched due to long contact with family members, and all the extra work of teaching  and supporting children, as well as doing their own work, and the household chores.
   For those whose nerves are stretched because they haven’t had contact with loved ones for a long time.
   For houses where stresses lead to violence, and decisions have to be made about leaving.
   For those who are struggling to find homes to buy or rent, and to manage the financial pressures involved.

For those facing major health problems, and those who care for them.

These prayer requests may have reminded us of those we know and love who face problems. Let us now, in a few moments of silent prayer, pray for those whose needs are particularly on our hearts—

For these, and for all people, we pray—

Amen
