Daily Prayer & Hymn Suggestion
Wednesday 2nd April
Hymn: My Redeemer is faithful and true
Prayer:
Lord God, you never let us down – you are there for us all the time, in every part and circumstance of our lives. You know us so well, Lord, and though we may pretend to those around us that all is well because we don’t want to burden other people, we can’t pretend with you, and neither do we really want to. For you alone can give us the comfort, the strength, the reassurance, the courage that we need; you alone know the depth of our anxiety, our insecurity, our fear, and when we come to you, you remind us of your promise to be with us always. Whatever we face today, Lord, whatever is on our hearts and minds, we bring it to you now, knowing that, in you, we will find the hope and peace we need.
Amen

Tuesday 1st April
Hymn: Let your living water flow (SofF 334)
Prayer:
Lord, there are times for most, if not for all of us, when we become aware that there is something missing in our lives, when that spark of faith has grown a bit less lively, when perhaps our joy in you is not what it was, when we lack vitality, and we feel in need of your refreshment. It’s not necessarily that we have neglected to try to stay close to you, but that those times have become more of a routine and lost some of their sense of anticipation, maybe because there’s such a lot going on in our lives. Lord, we seek your renewal – a fresh anointing of your Holy Spirit, an infilling of your love and joy and peace that sets us on fire once more for you. For then, Lord, made whole by you, we will have a greater assurance when we are called to speak for you.
Amen
