Prayers for the period 28 June – 18 July 2026
Vibrant God, who creates beauty in disorder, so mess us up with your love and leave your mark on us that we may be a sign of hope to others and build your kingdom of love where we are.
Action Prayer
Choose a letter of the alphabet. Think of something you are grateful for that begins with that letter. Take some time to express your gratitude to God.
World
Look at a newspaper or trusted website with newsfeed. Pray as you feel led about issues of the day.
Climate
The recent heatwaves in Europe are a reminder that Climate Change has not gone away. Pray that the UK Prime Minister will make investment in Green technology and energy sources a high priority.
A few years ago Tearfund reported that African countries could face costs of adapting to global heating up to five times more than they spend on healthcare. Pray that wealthy countries will honour the pledge they made at previous UN climate talks to help lower-income countries adapt to the climate crisis, so they don’t have to divert crucial money meant for healthcare and other vital public services anymore.
Action for Children Sunday (12 July)
Generous God, Thank you for the work of Action for Children. With gratitude, we pray for your blessing on the gifts being collected over the next few weeks in our churches. May they be used wisely by Action for Children staff and volunteers as they work with respect amongst children and families who hunger and thirst for recognition and equal worth in this unfair world. May we each learn to do good as we seek justice for all your creation. Amen (from AFC Materials)
Sea Sunday (12 July)
Loving God, we give thanks for all seafarers and for the vital work they do across the oceans of the world. Bless the work of The Mission to Seafarers and Stella Maris, as they offer friendship, practical support, prayer, and care to those far from home. We pray especially for the new Hospitality Hub at Holyhead Port, that those seafarers coming into the space will find a place of peace and love, and that those who volunteer there will be strengthened to be a blessing to them. We pray for the protection all who work at sea, comfort their families, and guide every vessel safely through storm and calm. May Christ, who calmed the waves, bring hope to all who travel and labour upon the waters. Amen.
Church
We remember all those ill or weighed down by concerns about health and those grieving the loss of loved ones in our communities. May God grant them comfort and peace at this difficult time.
We pray for each of our churches, that the various fellowship groups, prayer meetings and study groups will encourage a depth of spiritual input which will inspire growth, mission and a sense of belonging.
We pray for the various events and meetings across our Circuit in the few weeks, remembering especially:

Please pray for those involved, that they will be open to what God is saying and doing; that they will be able to listen to each other, experience a deep sense of God’s love and be granted wisdom in any decision-making.
We offer you our hands, O Lord, to do your work; our lips to sing your praise; our life to proclaim your glory and our heart to serve you in our neighbour.
Hildegard of Bergen 1098-1179
