Thank you Lord for each person who lives on this street, we ask you to bless each of them in the coming days. Guide them in the decisions they have to make and give them strength to cope with whatever challenges come their way. We ask that in your timing these people will come to know your love and peace for themselves. Amen.
Members of St. Andrew's have recently been looking at the teaching of Julian of Norwich. This week we use a prayer that Julian wrote in the fifteenth century to pray for the people of May Road.<br><br>In you, Father all-mighty, we have our preservation and our bliss.In you, Christ, we have our restoring and our saving.You are our mother, brother, and Saviour. In you, our Lord the Holy Spirit, is marvelous and plenteous grace.You are our clothing; for love you wrap us and embrace us.You are our maker, our lover, our keeper.Teach us to believe that by your grace all shall be well, and all shall be well,and all manner of things shall be well. Amen-Julian of Norwich
This is one of the longest roads in our parish continuing the other side of the roundabout to form what the map calls Clapham Road South.Thank you Lord that you know the name of each person who lives in this road, thank you that you made them all different and you love them as they are. We pray that you will touch each of these lives at the point of their deepest need, that they may grow in their knowledge of you and your saving power. Amen.
Today is the feast of Pentecost. The Day of Pentecost marks fifty days since Easter Day and brings the Easter season to an end. It is a major feast of the Church’s year when Christians recall how God’s Holy Spirit was given to the disciples after Jesus’ ascension, empowering them to begin the work of making disciples of all nations.<br><br>We pray that God's Holy Spirit is at work in the lives of those who live in St. Peter's Street, so they may comprehend how much God loves them and wants then to know life in all its fulness.
