​​Prayer for March 2026

Lord,

When we look out into the world we find much to fear.

• The dark clouds of strife between nations gather overhead.

• Self-important  leaders and dictators mouthing threats and throwing bombs at each other.

And we, like little folk all over the world, seek to pick our way through life, seeking peace, prosperity, harmony and a little happiness.

 

So, seeking to escape from the darkness, confusion and pain of life we come to you, Hoping to find a calmer, brighter, settled world.

 

Let us discover to our joy that

• the clearing clouds reveal that you are with us

• whilst our dreams may be fantasies, the reality can be glorious.

Let

• no niggling temper,

• no laziness of mind,

• no contrariness of spirit

stop us from making our peace with you.

 

You know all the unhappiness of life,

• its weariness, sadness and strain,

• the feeling that no-one cares,

• that the game is almost finished,

• that life holds little else for us.

 

Wake us up from our morbidity.

Help us to see the glory of life lived with you,

• your hand in ours,

• your conversation in the way,

• your guidance through the maze,

• your abiding friendship,

• the excitement of your mission

and

• the light that shines on in the darkness.
