Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1st January – 31st March Jesus prays for the Diocese of Winchester – for every little nook and corner, and for every person, believer or unbeliever.

We eavesdrop on his intercession in John 17, and know that he prays that his friends would be protected from evil, and would be united in sharing his joy and growing in holiness. Most importantly, we hear him saying, “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message...” So as we pray together through this first quarter of 2021, let’s follow Jesus’ example and allow the Spirit to intercede for us and through us ‘in accordance with God’s will’ – and perhaps ‘with groans that words cannot express’. (Romans 8) This month... how might you pray for local government issues? For example, you might focus on your local councillors, the provision of recreation and leisure facilities, social workers, those applying for and administering social housing... How might you be part of the answer to your prayers? For example, you might ask your local councillors how they see the needs of your community, and pray/act accordingly; offer to take your neighbours’ unwanted goods to a recycling centre; help people access Meals on Wheels or other council services...
