Rev. Jan is asking us to pray with her this year. Here are the prayers for this week.
January 1
God of new beginnings, help us to be centred in your love and care. Guide us as we walk in this world, knowing that there will be ups and downs. Keep us focused on the path, never afraid to take risks, and always willing to meet someone new along the way. As we begin the new year, help us to let go of the things of the past that cloud our hearts and minds, to make room for the opportunities that are ahead and waiting for us. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen
January 2
Loving and Holy God, sometimes it's hard to remember what day it is when we're on a break. Help us to be okay with that. Help us to put our feet up, to rest our bodies and our souls, and to enjoy some peace. Prepare us for the journey ahead as we gather again soon. And God, please help us to be healthy so we can be the community you call us to be. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
January 3
Loving Parent, are you hiding sometimes? Wondering if we'll seek you? Thank you for being joy-filled and loving with us in all our days. When we stray, be gracious to us and may we never fear you or your love. Fill us instead, with your trust, your truth, and your righteousness, knowing that you have our back in all our days. Please be with those who need you the most, who may be looking for purpose beyond what this world has to offer. And God, tag, you're it. Thanks for letting us find you in all our days. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
January 4
God of anticipation and routine, as we take one last day of rest before we resume our regular schedule, help us to rest our eyes and our bodies just a little more. If the 30-minute nap tends to be a little longer than expected, help us to find rest at the end of the night so we can be energized for worship. Holy One, thank you for the gift of faith, church, and the community you gather in Camilla. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
January 5
Loving and ever-present God, we thank you that we could gather safely together for worship today. Churches further north may have been closed due to weather and we pray they are safe. We thank you for the gift of catching up with our community and hearing how Christmas and New Years was. We also thank you for the calling to pray for little Abigail and hope she and her family get through this challenge okay. Be with all our friends and neighbours who long to be back in church. And God, help those who haven't been in church for quite a while, find a friend to bring them in. And when they do, may the energy you bring to our gatherings, infect them with joy. God be with us. Amen.
