This, then, is how you should pray: “’Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,” (Matthew 6:9)
As we recognize National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, God, be with families and communities that are directly impacted. We pray that justice will prevail. We pray that the missing and murdered will be found. We pray that all our brothers and sisters can live safely in our world. We pray for an end to evil. Cast the devil out, wherever it lives, O God. May your light and love overcome all. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Then I said: “Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments,” (Nehemiah 1:5)
Today, we honour all the teachers that have helped us to grow and learn. We pray for teachers who struggle with the needs they try to meet in their classrooms. We pray for their well-being, their love, their passion, and their compassion. May we support teachers by checking in on them, seeing if we can help provide supplies, and to just be a friend. May they be counting down the days to the summer break, and having fun while they nurture our little ones. Be with them in their special calling. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. (Psalms 33:4)
Loving God, we pray for Children and their mental health today. We know the world is ever-changing and it seems to never stop. Help us to see through the eyes of the children around us and into their hearts and souls. May we ask them how they’re doing. May we ask them about any challenges they’re having and any challenges they’ve overcome. May we ask them what wishes they have. Help us, O God, to guide and nurture them. Help us just to listen. And may we never take any of what they say for granted or cast their words aside. They may be telling us something more. God be with us all. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Lord, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us. (Isaiah 26:12)
Serving God, we pray for the Red Cross around the world today. They serve many who experience natural disasters and destruction in many places with different people. We pray for all who help by being boots on the ground. We pray for all who support them. We pray for those who navigate the logistics to get basic supplies to communities. God, help us to discover how we can be The Red Cross in our own communities, in our own neighbourhoods, and in our own families. Keep connecting us in meaningful ways, so we can be prepared as best as we can. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Luke 12:34)
Today, our Chinese families celebrate Cap Go Meh. Today they celebrate in marking the end of the New Year festivities. The celebration invites good fortune and happiness in the coming year while also honouring ancestors and seeking their blessing. It’s a day to celebrate family bonds and community connections. God, for those who are celebrating, may they feel our joy with them. For those who aren’t celebrating, may we pray about our own family and community connections. May we strive to make them stronger and more meaningful so that we can be better together. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life. (Job 33:4)
On Saturdays, we pray for children and families. We honour the busy schedules and recognize the expectations of what needs to be accomplished are so high. Help them, O God, to take a little time for themselves. Help them rest. May they be nurtured in body, mind, and soul. For friends who live with worry because of high costs and low incomes, may we hear their pleas. Help us to serve our neighbours well. Help us to be there for them, honouring dignity and humility. God, may everyone know they are loved. Provide for them, through us and our neighbours, we pray. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all you need, you will abound in every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:8)
Worshipful God, as we gather to sing, pray, and worship you today, be in our church building and in all our souls. May your light and love shine brightly from within us. Today, we pray for all who are mothers to us in our lives. By blood or by friendship, they helped us to become who we are today. May they know they are loved. May they know we appreciate all they have done for us. And may we ask for forgiveness for all those things we did (or do) that drive them crazy. God, thank you for being a loving parent to all, especially to those who need you most. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
