Bidding Prayers – 23rd May

Merciful God, fill us with joy and peace as we place all our trust in You. Holy Spirit, inspire our lives to produce Your fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, fun and faithfulness.

Distraction is a common experience, not only in prayer but in all we do. Help us to make time in our busy lives to overcome the difficulties we face in prayer.

Lord in thy mercy
Hear our prayer
