A prayer for desire for the Holy Trinity
Eternal and glorious Trinity, for whom we thirst and long; for ever let us desire your light, seek your face and wrap ourselves in the robe of your majesty and love. Amen.
A prayer that we might be a blessing to others
Lord of all, by your amazing grace you gift us with all that we need. We seek to depend on you, knowing your love is constant and new each and every day. We give you thanks this day for the surprising gifts that will meet us in the kindness of others. And, as your Spirit leads us, may we be an unexpected blessing – sharing Christ’s love with others in our actions, thoughts and words. For the coming of your kingdom we pray, in Jesus name. Amen.
A prayer for light from God
In the darkness of your world Lord, I need your light. When I am worried about paying for my heating; the mortgage; the food I will feed myself and my family, I need your light. When I am feeling concerned about the health and well-being of family, friends and strangers, I need your light. In the hours I am in most need I seek you and find you in the food banks; the warm spaces; the cards, emails and telephone calls I receive; the smile and friendly greeting that is unexpectedly given as I go about my day. In those moments, Lord, I find the hidden treasure of hope, peace and love that helps me through another day. Amen.
