Bidding Prayers – 1st June

Loving Lord, today we hear just how much you love us. Help us to be one, you in us, and us in you. Hear our prayers we bring before you.

We pray for for peace in Ukraine, a ceasefire in Gaza, along with the liberation of hostages and renewed efforts to protect children.

We pray for the people of Liverpool and those injured in the Bank Holiday parade. May the Holy Spirit grant them peace and healing.

As global hunger surges amid wars, climate crisis and funding gaps, we pray for all those facing severe food insecurity. May world leaders do all they can to support those most in need.

As students undertake exams, we pray for all those supporting them to achieve their best, parents, carers, teachers, and mentors. We give grateful thanks to those individuals who daily inspire our youth.

We pray to not let our busy lives prevent us from feeling compassion towards others. Help us to see the unseen, hear those that remain silent and care for those that feel unloved.

We pray for a moment for our own personal petitions…

Heavenly Father, walk beside us, help us to live the life you intended for us. Help us to be the best versions of ourselves for you and others. Amen
