In the dawn of this new day.
In the dawn of this new day,
I offer you all that I am.
In dawn of this new day,
I cast aside the darkness of my fears
and worries and look to the rising of the sun.
In the dawn of this new day,
I offer you the words I will speak,
the thoughts I will hold,
my actions and my stillness.
In the dawn of this new day,
I will wait upon you.
As the day begins, help me remember those whose morning brings fear, sadness, mourning and worry.
Where there is despair, bring hope.
Where there is darkness, bring light.
Where there is sadness, bring joy.
I offer you this prayer
trusting in your word
trusting in your Holy Spirit
trusting in your son
trusting in you
God is good
All the time
All the time
God is good.
Loneliness
‘Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. Relieve the troubles of my heart and bring me out of my distress. Consider my affliction and my trouble and forgive all my sins’.
Psalm 25:16-18
Dear God,
I feel alone.
Please bring the warmth of relationships into my life. Please cover my thoughts with hope. Please send your love into my heart.
I know you are alive in all I experience.
May the birdsong speak to my soul, May the trees remind me of life, May the bread I eat nourish my soul with its goodness,
As I connect with the world around me. I give thanks for all those who love me, for all those who care. Help me to receive your hope in my heart, to embrace your life flowing in mine.
I know I live and breathe as part of your family and dwell safely in you. I know you understand me. I am not alone. Amen.

Facing a difficult decision
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3: 5-6
Heavenly Father,
I humble myself before you, asking for your hand of support during these difficult situations. You are my refuge and my strength; my present help in trouble. Hold my hand and do not let me fall. Let your grace be upon me during these times of anguish. My trust is in your love which never fails, and your power that knows no boundaries. Be my guide. Amen.

For those that mourn
"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."
Revelation 21:4
Father,
you know our hearts and share our sorrows.
We are hurt by our parting from those whom we loved:
when we are angry at the loss we have sustained,
when we long for words of comfort,
yet find them hard to hear,
turn our grief to truer living,
our affliction to firmer hope
in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Gracious God,
surround us and all who mourn this day
with your continuing compassion.
Do not let grief overwhelm your children,
or turn them against you.
When grief seems never-ending,
take them one step at a time
along your road of death and resurrection
in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
