#MorningPrayer
Lord Jesus,
turn our hearts away
from using the power
we have at our disposal
to serve only an agenda
of selfishness and ego;
give us instead hearts
that beat with your love,
and seek the wellbeing
of neighbours near and far.
May we live lives
that show your grace.

#MorningPrayer
Inspire in us, Lord Jesus,
the faith and fortitude,
the courage and constancy,
to reveal you to others
in all situations
by our words and our ways,
by our actions and our attitudes.
Give us courage
to speak and to show
the truth of your love
to power and to pauper.

#MorningPrayer
Grant us, Lord Jesus,
ears to hear your wisdom,
and eyes to see
the signs of your kingdom
revealed among us,
that we may respond
to the love you show us,
and shine with its light
to brighten the world
and the lives of all people.
Let us not be swayed
from your way.

#MorningPrayer
Lord Jesus,
you send us to the world,
in the power of the Spirit,
as seeds of your kingdom
sown in abundance.
Work through us
to embed in the hearts
of our communities
your call to love and life,
to grow your gift of peace
in the hearts of people
and relationships.

#MorningPrayer
Lord Jesus,
you send us into the world
to share your gospel of peace,
to draw people to the wholeness
that you offer.
Remind us that we journey
as your disciples,
citizens of your kingdom,
ambassadors of your love.
May your grace run through us
and all we do today.

#MorningPrayer
Lord Jesus,
by your incarnation
you made your home with us;
through the gift of the Holy Spirit
you make your home within us
and among us to the end of the age.
So fill us with your presence
and your grace,
that we cannot help
but show and share
your love with all.

#MorningPrayer
By the power of your love,
Lord Jesus, you will overcome
all that seeks to resist
the purposes and promises
of your kingdom,
even death itself.
In the joy of this Easter season,
may we embrace the new life you offer,
and live out your love
for all people every day.

#MorningPrayer
Keep us, Lord Jesus,
from joining in with
the world’s game
of divisiveness, enmity,
rivalry and hatred.
Fill us rather with your
loving, healing, reconciling Spirit,
that we may be led
to bridge division,
to build relationship,
to challenge hatred,
to inspire hope.

Peace begins in the human heart, passes through relationships, takes root in neighborhoods and peripheries, and expands until it embraces the entire city and the world. Peace is built by promoting a culture that rejects violence, through daily gestures, education, and practical acts of justice. #PastoralVisit #Naples

#MorningPrayer
Lord Jesus,
may we live lives that witness to you,
use words that reveal you,
make choices that show your leading,
take paths that follow your call,
and have the courage
always to point to you
and your kingdom,
not by fear or force,
but by your love, shown to all.
Geoff Court retweeted
#MorningPrayer
Lord Jesus,
may our confidence,
be not in those things
we create for ourselves
or achieve for ourselves;
not in accomplishments or image,
not in status or riches,
not in the adulation
or praise of others,
not in our own self-belief,
but in your grace and your love.
Geoff Court retweeted
#MorningPrayer
When we are beset, Lord,
by turmoil within and without,
buffeted by the storms around us
and driven by fears inside us,
reassure us of your presence with us
and of your love for us,
of your power and your peace,
that we may be drawn by hope,
and sustained by grace.
Geoff Court retweeted
#MorningPrayer
Keep us, Lord,
from becoming so consumed
by our own ego and self-justification,
that we see only the faults of others
and not our own;
give us the desire
to seek wisdom and truth,
that our lives may be lived
as expressions of your love,
bearing your grace for all.
Geoff Court retweeted
#MorningPrayer
Grant us, Lord,
the wisdom and courage
to meet injustice
not with a desire
for revenge and retribution,
but with the strength
to expose it, name it,
and shame it.
Guide us not to play evil
at its own game,
but to show to all the way
of your justice, peace and love.

A prayer for Remembrance Day
ALT A graphic featuring a prayer for Remembrance Day, which reads: Lord of the nations, Saviour and judge of all: remove from human hearts all bitterness and hate, grant to those who have died in war your mercy and forgiveness and bring us all to the peace of your eternal Kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who suffered and died, and now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.

#MorningPrayer
Grant us, Lord,
the greatest treasure
of your kingdom,
the gift of your love.
Grant that we may know
the breadth, length,
height, and depth
of your love
to the core of our being.
Open our hearts
to share in your love
for the whole human family,
and the whole world.

that we may know
the healing and peace
of your kingdom.

Keep us open, Lord,
today as every day,

your presence with us,

your call upon us,
in the circumstances
and situations we meet.

to your healing
and reconciling love,

#MorningPrayer
Lord, you create us
as children of your covenant;
inviting us to be
people of your promises,
citizens of your kingdom.
May we respond to the love
in which you hold us,
by loving each other.
As you seek peace
and wellbeing for us,
may we seek the same
for the world.
