Let’s Pray For Cost of living  With Christmas coming and the recent increases in household costs, many families are finding that income from wages simply isn’t enough to keep pace. This often leads to borrowing money and the accumulation of debts which they see no way of repaying. Pray for families in this situation and for organisations, such as Christians Against Poverty (CAP), which provide advice, help and hope.

Delivery workersMany of us rely on deliveries at this time of year. Pray for those who work in processing facilities at this busy time, often on long shifts, and for those with responsibility to deliver parcels to our doors. Give thanks for the service they provide, and pray that, even in their busyness, they would have opportunities to encounter the grace and hope of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let’s Pray For Moderator   The Moderator continues his trip in Kenya, visiting the Cowans in Tuum where he will preach this Sunday. Pray for his visits to Gary and Mary Reid and Naomi and Thomas Leremore and boys, that they will be an encouragement.

Worship that encourages“But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.”
