Praying for Monday to Saturday Living
This month café church discussed how we pray during the week compared to prayers on Sundays.
Sunday is not just one day in a Christian’s life, and although important for corporate worship, our faith is more visible in the way we go about our daily lives, how we treat conflict and disappointments, celebrate the good times and interact with friends, family and colleagues.
As part of the “Setting God’s People Free” initiative we looked at other ways we can use prayer. We don’t just pray for a person in hospital, we pray for the nurses and doctors under pressure, but also how he/she might draw on God’s resources and find ways to minister love and grace to colleagues as well as patients. We can pray for someone’s patience with a difficult boss and how they might change the culture of their office.
Gail kindly shared her experiences during her working week in Prisons and how she has witnessed God’s transforming love and grace, touching prisoners in their hour of need. God is in “the everyday” things we do, the small moments and the not just the large and overwhelming problems we see in the world. In your life ahead pray “God of water, earth, light and brokenness we welcome you, as you welcome us”. Amen
