​​Prayer for June  2026

Lord, we come to you in thankfulness, for every day is filled with your goodness:

• the health we enjoy,

• the comfort of our homes,

• the companionship and fellowship of friends

• , the capacity to love,

and

• the opportunities to help each other along.

 

We thank you for

• the world we live in,

• the air we breathe,

• the food we eat,

• the clothes we wear;

• the sun that warms us,

•  the rain and the wind that feed us and sustain us.

 

We thank you too for the victory you give us over our fears and  weaknesses.

Forgive us for being selfish,

for our hypocrisy in singing holy songs about the sacrifice Jesus made for us,

and praising other people who have given up their lives to make life better for others,

yet when it comes to us giving up our time or money or attention, we back off

and hide away from  the needs of others.

 

Give us

• big hearts, Lord,

• open minds,

and

• willing hands

to be about your work in our own time and place.
