Thursday - 23rd. day of Lent

 12th. March 2026
 

Today we pray for those living in The Croft, Dundee Street, Elgin Street, Forfar Street, Dryden Road, Lewis Road, and Dallington Haven

Please pray for all those involved in the Ukrainian War and the Iranian Conflict

especially all those injured and killed and we pray that peace in Gaza will be lasting

Prayer for Lent ;

Loving God,
I hear your invitation, "Come back to me"
and I am filled with such a longing to return to you.
Show me the way to return.
Lead me this day in good works I do in your name
and send your Spirit to guide me and strengthen my faith.
I ask only to feel your love in my life today. 

Morning ;

Lord, thank you for your abundant, abounding grace.

Thank you that we don't have to earn a drop

of the mighty river of grace that flows freely for us today.

Thank you for the unexpected,

unmerited favour you've showered on my life.

Help me put myself in the path of your love and grace.

Help me not neglect the disciplines I need to meet with you regularly

and to drink from the water of life.

Thank you for your rich love. Amen.

(David Mathis)

Evening ;

I pray that everything we are sowing in grief,

we will reap in joy.

It will be a different sort of joy,

we both know that.

There is the uncomplicated joy of

those who haven’t suffered

and then there is the joy that is born of suffering,

the joy that is deeper for the loss that preceded,

the joy that is in seeing redemption

and yet knowing the scars we bear from the wounds

are beautiful to those with eyes to see. Amen.
