I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. (1 John 5:13-14)
Creating God, today is Family and Community Day and we pray for everyone in our areas. We pray for connections, bonding, respect, and dignity for everyone, regardless of race, culture, creed, ability, and status. We pray that we can come together to define some norms for each other – like moving from ‘each man for himself’ to ‘my community has my back’. Help us to help each other, to teach each other how to be kind and graceful, forgiving and stronger. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
Prepared God, as Autumn approaches we think of all that could happen in the colder season in our area. Today is Preparedness Day where we check on our emergency supplies and make note of and purchase things that may need replenishing. We also pray, O God, for a grant and process we put in, not only to be more energy efficient but also in helping our community when there are hydro outages. God, help us to always think beyond ourselves and to think of others as we review our supplies. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:25-26)
Compassionate and Forgiving God, today is “giving it up” day, where we let go of something in our hearts, forgive ourselves or someone else, and help each other to keep moving forward. Where there is something exceptionally tough to address, be in us. Even if it’s something we can think about today, to deal with another day, set it in our hearts to ponder and work on. May our hearts be filled with love and mercy. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. (Ephesians 2:8)
Loving God, we pray for a little respect on this National Respect Day. But, more importantly, we pray for all people to have respect. We know that respect is earned and not just freely given, so help us to live in ways that easily earn the respect of others so that we can do amazing things in our world – as individuals and as a community. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live! (Ezekiel 18:32)
God of all working people, today we pray for our Tradespeople. We give thanks for their work, their skills, and their passion for what they do to create the world and the beauty we live within. For carpenters, plumbers, electricians, mechanics, masons and roofers, painters and welders, cooks and hairstylists, millwrights and transportation workers, construction workers, HVAC and more. Thank you for their skills to build, create, and repair. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand. (Psalms 16:11)
On Saturdays we pray for children and families. We pray for the love and friendships shared. We pray for new friendships to emerge. We pray that neighbours get to know each other well and that neighbourhoods are safe places for all. May all have access to playgrounds, toys, and imaginations that can help the littles connect in fun ways. God, may they keep their innocence for a long time. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7)
Today is World Gratitude Day, so we give thanks, O God. We give thanks for all that exists around us. We give thanks for communities and churches, for professionals who care for us and our assets. We give thanks for art and music, for poetry and novels, for tv and the entertainment industry. We give thanks for technology so that we can be part of our church community even if/when we can’t be together in person. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
