For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving. (1 Timothy 4:4)
Creating God, it’s National Bible Week and I pray folks pull out their favourite bible sometime and discover a passage that fills their soul. May we each take a little time to highlight some of our favourites so that our loved ones can get a glimpse of our faith if they ever open our Bible up. God, grant us your eyes to see the truth and the way, in all the ups and downs of life. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the Lord Most High. (Psalm 7:17)
God, today is Statehood Day in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where they two came together as a unified state. We pray that where conflict and division lay in the world, that new ways of being together emerge. God, the 25th of the month is also when we think of loved ones who have died. Be with those they leave behind and bless our loved ones in their place of final rest. For those who died fighting in ongoing conflicts or as refugees, hug their loved ones tightly this day. And God, we know you are the God of impossible things, and we look forward to seeing your divine ways at work in our world. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

In that day you will say: “Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted.” (Isaiah 12:4)
Today we honour the legacy of Charles M. Schulz, who created “Peanuts” on this Good Grief Day. For those who grew up loving Snoopy and the gang, help us to dive into an old comic to grab a smile in our day. For those who have not, may we share some Charlie Brown stories and humour so they can see what brought us joy. God, thank you for Charles Schulz, his work, and the joy he brought to many of our lives, in youth and in more experienced days. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. (Psalm 69:30)
Loving God, today is Family Health History Day. We pray for all the health that is in our genes, but also in our world. Many may never know what their Family’s Health History is and we pray that their caregivers are able to keep an eye on preventable illnesses and diseases through the work of science. For those who do know, we pray the same. May we not take our health for granted, knowing that your light needs us to help the world shine brightly in the dark corners of the earth. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. (1 Chronicles 16:34)
Comforting God, it’s Buy Nothing Day. It’s very hard not to buy something each day as that is what we’re programmed to do. It’s what we’re told to do to create and support healthy economics and more. Help us to also be aware that saving can create some relief for our mental health. But I pray that we are buying things that make a difference and matter in the lives of others or ourselves. Be in us to make wise decisions and to be practical in our spending. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:17)
On Saturdays we pray for children and families. It’s National Square Dancing Day too. I pray that the children of today and tomorrow have a curiosity on how to dance together in groups. That they feel called to learn together and to connect in a way that might not be natural to them. Help us to dance with joy, humility, and in fun if we do give it a try. And God, help us to prepare to square dance at a barn dance in the spring. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:2, 6)
Creating God, Advent begins. It’s a time of waiting for the Saviour, for excitement and change, and for hope. Many hoped for someone who would help the oppressed, stand up against injustice, and change the world. Be in our hearts and search for the things we long a Saviour to do. God of light, shine into our waiting hearts. Let hope rise where shadows fall. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
