APRIL PRAYER PAGE ✤ We thank God, particularly for the release of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe from captivity, and the joy and hope it gives to all at this time of resurrection. ✤ We pray for the people of Ukraine and for all victims of war everywhere. Help us to put down weapons and help us as mankind to build up and not tear down, to love and cherish, not to hate. ✤ We pray for all who mourn, especially those close to us. Strengthen and comfort all who have recently experienced the death of a loved one. May their memories become joyful, their days enriched with friendship, and their lives encircled by your love. ✤ We remember all who are frightened by the rises in price of fuel, food and transport. We pray that people will not go cold or hungry over the coming months. Help the food bank agencies, and organisations like Christians Against Poverty and Citizens Advice to do what they can, for as many as possible, to enable people to cope. ✤ We pray for our NHS and for those who have had any treatment delayed, due to Covid. Help us all to remain vigilant regarding Covid, to take care and to do what we ought when we feel there are risks around us. ✤ We pray for Fishponds C of E Academy, as they seek to appoint a new head. ✤ We pray for joy and the Resurrection to be experienced in our lives this Easter time: may it be manifested in our love and worship of God, our love and service to each other and our own self-care. 8
