Meditation

Prayer: Almighty God, we pray for your blessing on the church of Jesus Christ. 

Here may the faithful find salvation, and the careless be awakened. 

Here may the doubting find faith, and the anxious be encouraged. 

Here may the tempted be strengthened and the sorrowful find comfort. 

Here may the weary find rest, and the strong be renewed. 

Here may the prayers of our hearts be heard and known.

All this and more we pray in the name of our Saviour, Jesus the Christ. Amen.
