Prayer for September 2014

Submitted by a member of the Greenside congregation.

Heavenly Father, we ask that you might help all with the fear of the unknown future, the fear of unrest in their country, their towns and their homes as well as those who, for whatever reason, are homeless and dispossessed.

We pray for people of all faiths who are at risk from prosecution for what they believe.  Most especially, those who face the life or death choices imposed by extremist organisations in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere.  Grant all who suffer, for whatever reason, your healing peace.  Let them know that, amidst their sorrows and physical pain, there is the real comfort which comes from your outstretched hand and the energy of your Holy Spirit.

Lift we pray to your presence, all who live in the dark shadows of life that, in confidence and trust, they may be still and know that you are the one true God.  The saviour to whom in prayer they can bring their fears and receive the salvation promised by our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Amen
