SEPTEMBER PRAYERS ✤ We pray for the people of Afghanistan, Lord. Grant them peace and security. ✤ We remember the people of Haiti following the devastating earthquake. Enable international agencies to really make a difference as they help that country to become more resilient. ✤ We remember all countries without the vaccines, infrastructure and ability to deal with the Covid pandemic. Move the hearts of those in power in the richer nations to provide the support required to keep people safe all over the world. ✤ In our own country, we pray for success with the continued roll-out of the vaccine to younger people, and that there would be a good turn-out to receive it. ✤ Help us all to remember that the pandemic is not ended and to continue to be vigilant. ✤ We pray for all who mourn, that they would be comforted. ✤ We give thanks for the harvest, especially at this time of the year. Help us to be better stewards of creation, and to do what we can at this time, following the UN Code Red Climate Emergency, and the floods and searing heat across Europe recently. Enable the COP 26 climate conference in Glasgow this autumn, be a time when words and actions match each other. ✤ We pray for our benefice, especially as we plan our services from October onwards, that it will meet our needs, and would enable us to encounter God together. ✤ We pray for all children and young adults, especially those who will be starting schools, colleges and universities for the first time. ✤ We pray for ourselves, living and witnessing in a complicated world, that God would strengthen us with His Holy Spirit, that we would be full of love for one another, and full too with discernment. 7
