Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favour in the presence of this man.” I was cupbearer to the king. (Nehemiah 1:11)
Creating God, on this World Letter Writing Day, help us to put pen to paper and send someone we love a random note just to say hello. Where we mostly find flyers and bills, let’s surprise someone with a little sunshine in the mail today. God, be with our mail carriers and service too as it’s great to communicate in various ways. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. (Genesis 50:20)
God, on this Telephone Tuesday, encourage us to pick up the phone and call someone we haven’t spoken to in a while. We pray the conversation goes well and laughter is shared. Help us to be mindful of what it means to hear a voice on the other end of the line, as our lives may be isolated or so busy that we often feel alone. God, be with us as we share and as we call. And be with all those who work for the phone companies and services. May we treasure all the ways we can communicate in our world. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favour as a shield. (Psalms 5:12)
Today we pray for our world and for those looking for new or a change in employment. God, point us in the direction of our calling and may we find work that is life-giving. Remind us that there are unique employment opportunities in churches and in the National Forces. For the entrepreneurs in our midst, may they feel encouraged to share their businesses and services with us so we know who we can call or where we can visit. Help us to be a strong community that helps each other in various ways. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him.
You will eat the fruit of your labour; blessings and prosperity will be yours. (Psalms 128:1-2)
Loving God, today we pray for newspaper carriers. Though this is an area of employment that seems to be diminishing in it’s more commonly known sense, we pray for all who get newspapers to us. We pray for the reporters and the institutions and that they share factual information and stop leading us into extreme news only. Keep us critical of what we read and may we share good news among us. Help us to see hope and beauty in our world. Bless our carriers and keep them safe in their deliveries. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? (Matthew 6:26-27)
Comforting God, today we celebrate International Day of Charity and recognize all the work that charities do locally and globally. For churches that are actively offering community programs and support, may we take some extra time to learn about them and to make a financial contribution to encourage them to continue doing what they do. Bless all our charities, their staff and volunteers, and participants and clients in all that they do. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

For the Lamb at the centre of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’ (Revelation 7:17)
On Saturdays we pray for children and families and we think of all the things that have gone on this week as school starts back up. We pray for parents who are now empty-nesters and pray that they can enjoy the change, while preparing for their student to come back home for a visit (and laundry, and food). God, we ask for safety for all our students as they travel back to school. We pray that families can find the support they need. We pray that we can also be involved in being a support for them. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

“Six days you shall labour, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.” (Exodus 34:21)
Today we pray for those of us in hospital or hospice. We pray that they are receiving the care and compassion they need. We pray for healing and peace, comfort and grace, and love and connection. Be with all the staff in their calling, knowing that we know the work is challenging and we support them in all that they do. God, bless our caregivers and our patients. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
