Wednesday Prayer
On Wednesday the Blog focuses our thoughts on prayer. I hope the following articles and video will encourage you in your prayer.
In This Moment A Prayer For Going Back To School
God our heavenly teacher, thank you for the gift of learning, that enables us to grow in wisdom and stature, in relationship with you and others. We pray for school life as it resumes again, after months of lockdown and the long summer break. Be with governors, principals, drivers, cleaners and others, who have responsibility in arrangements, for the smooth running of the school day. Be with teachers and classroom assistants, as they help pupils settle again into learning. Be with parents, grandparents and carers, as they gently help loved ones readjust to the return of school. Be with children and young people, as they renew relationships with staff and peers, embrace new rhythms and routines in familiar places, pick up the threads of the curriculum again - remembering what they have learned before, and quickly making sense of new knowledge coming their way. Be especially with those in crucial exam years, taking away fear of months of learning lost, giving confidence in what can yet be gained. Help whole school families grow in these days - physically in their new environments for learning, mentally as new thinking is required, emotionally as strains and stresses have to be negotiated, socially in community with one another, spiritually as they recognise God at work among them. Lord Jesus, whose teaching amazed and astounded, with its stamp of authority, and left its lasting mark on many lives, hear these our prayers for our schools this new term. Amen

Peter And Anna Crawford
Peter and Anna have arrived in Greece and send the following prayer requests For your Prayers For 'Sarah' - we are regularly in touch with her back in Lisbon. Her struggles with her job and studies continue to be a challenge for her, but she is staying strong in her faith. For Language Study - just now we have started in Greek with Danae, who is so helpful, and we hope to enrol later in more formal classes. For Family visits - we are looking forward to Colin visiting, and then Sharon with Gabriel. As coronavirus cases are increasing, please pray that things will work out as planned, and that it will give them a clearer sense of what life is like for us as parents now. Buying a Car - just as God helped us with the eventual sale of our car in Portugal, we would ask for God's guidance in buying another vehicle to suit our needs here in the city. Making Friends - as we connect up with Christian workers and ministries in and around Athens, as well as neighbours in our building and others, please pray that God would make us a "light to the nations" as we lay our lives open for Him.
