Prayers for the People and Organisations of The Quintet Benefice
Why do we pray? To answer that question let us look at what the Bible says. In 1 Thessalonians 5: 17 it exhorts us to “Pray continually”. In a world filled with chaos, we pray because prayer is the antidote to anxiety: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”. Philippians 4:6-7
We pray because prayer alleviates our weariness: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest”. Matthew 11:28
Prayer deepens our relationship with God. Prayer brings us closer to Him. He created us with a need for connection, and prayer is connection. Praying is talking to the Lord, just like friends talk to each other and are brought closer together through their sharing. When we pray, we share our innermost being with Him. Through prayer, we are transformed and renewed. Prayer reminds us that we are dependent on God and not on ourselves. Prayer draws us closer to God.
We pray because God cares for us (1 Peter 5: 7). What a comfort to know God cares. He is interested in every detail of our lives. He wants us to involve Him in every aspect of our lives. He promises to listen, to help, and to protect. He promises to be there. When we pray, we surrender and release our thoughts, worries, and desires to God. We pray because prayer shifts our attention to “him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us” (Ephesians 3: 20).
Do you have a need? A concern? God cares about you. Will you say a prayer to Him today?
Please pray for the following--
The Venerable Ian Bentley and his family
For people to come forward to become Churchwardens at Aylmerton and at Beeston Regis
For people to come forward to become members/officers of our PCCs
For our church buildings that funds may be found for their urgent repair
For All Saints, Beeston Regis who are taking our church outside its walls with the launch of “WILD CHURCH”.
Pray that this will be an event that engages children and families with our Creator God and His Wildly Wonderful World, especially people who don’t normally come to church.
