Prayers for 3rd August 2025
Lord Christ as members of your body you have made us members of one another: help us now, by the aid of the Holt Spirit, to forget ourselves and to feel the burden of others’ needs. Then O Lord, through our prayers, minister your grace and power to them as you see it most for their good, and in accordance with your will, for the glory of your name.
Lord in thy mercy—Hear our prayer.
Keep the church free from all that would cause harm to her witness… grant to all Christian people that, being risen with Christ they may grow in holiness.
Break through all greed and complacency that are damaging the lives of so many… where there is strife for material possessions, bring generosity and concern for the needs of others.
Keep us, our families and friends, in the way of peace, free from selfish quarrels… make us ready to share good things with those in our community who are in need.
Have mercy on families divided by quarrels over inheritance and ownership… bring healing where angry words and unjust deeds have separated those who should be close in love.
Lord in thy mercy .. Hear our prayer.

Heavenly Father, we pray earnestly for peace in our troubled world where hatred and war prevail, where homes and lives are shattered. We especially pray for the Ukraine and middle East. Where once Jesus rode on a donkey into Jerusalem, today, less than 50 miles away war and horror see’s humans starving for want of food and water.
We pray for the many children especially as the agony of starvation is part of the ending of their earthly lives. Where expectant mothers grieve for their unborn child as to whether they will be able to produce milk to feed their infant.
Lord, we earnestly ask you to have mercy on the utter misery of these poor people and we pray for those for whom any help is too little, too late and we pray for those who grieve who are caught up in war.
