NOVEMBER PRAYERS ✤ Father, in these short, dark days of November, with all the uncertainties and complications in our new Covid 19 landscape, help us to feel the reassurance of Your presence in the gift of each new day. Help us to be guided through the darkness by Your light – by Jesus, who will never leave us or forsake us. In His name – the name above pandemics and shortages and rising bills and all anxieties – we pray. Amen. Daphne Kitching ✤ We continue to pray for all who are ill, especially those suffering from Covid. We give thanks for those who have recovered or are recovering. We remember families and friends who have lost loved ones. Strengthen all by Your Spirit. ✤ We pray for all who live, work and minster in our Benefice of All Saints Church, Fishponds and St. Mary’s Church, Fishponds. ✤ We pray, Lord, that as the COP 26 Climate Summit is upon us, that the leaders of the nations will both commit and do. Remembrance O God, of truth and justice, we hold before you those people who have been injured or died in active service. As we honour their courage and cherish their memory, may we put our faith in your future; for you are the source of life, peace and hope, now and forever. Amen ✤ As our thoughts turn towards Advent and Christmas, help us all to welcome the infant, Jesus and also welcome the adult Jesus into our lives. 8
