  • Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1St July – 30Th September
    Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1st July – 30th September “We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers. We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labour prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ” Paul writing to the Christians in Thessalonica. I am conscious that several people have prayed for me since the day I was born (in 1961!). I have also always prayerfully asked a number of friends to commit to praying regularly for me and have seen the work of intercession as a vital part of our life together as Christians. This prayer diary invites us all to engage in this ministry as part of our care for each other and also as a co-participants in the mission and ministry we share. Let’s see this as a three-month adventure in prayer. Giving thanks for you, This month... how might you pray for environmental issues? For example, you might focus on ‘clean air, pure water, rich earth’; on the need for individual/national/international attitude & behaviour change; for those most affected by climate change & pollution... How might you be part of the answer to your prayers? For example, you might reduce your carbon footprint; cut down on single-use plastics; feed the birds in your garden; write to your MP about promoting renewable energy; sign up for the BCM in Creation Care!

  • Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1St January – 31St March
    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. Some of these people and places are named in the page which follow: let’s join with Jesus who ‘always lives to intercede for them.’ (Hebrews 7) But what does Jesus pray? 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...
