‘‘So I say to you: ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.’ Luke 11:9

Lord, let our memory provide no shelter for grievance against each other.Lord, let our heart provide no harbour for hatred of each other.Lord, let our tongue be no accomplice in the judgment of each other.

Take a minute to pray for your relationships at home and work. Especially for God’s blessing upon people who have hurt you.

Pray for youth workers, counsellors, charity workers, and anyone known to you who works on the front-line of caring for others in London.

Pray for integrity amongst our leaders in government, commerce, the media and every sphere of society where there are so many challenges and temptations to sin.

Pray for those who have difficult temptations to face, and who know only too well that they may fall to them, if they try to meet them alone.

A Prayer For London Imagine the cross is taller than the Shard 

Imagine a poet wiser than the Bard

Imagine time unbounded by Big Ben’s chime 

Imagine a river untamed and pure 

  bearing freedom to every shore.

Imagine a monarch with the universe at their feet 

Imagine an ear that hears every heart beat 

Imagine a hand that is ever strong

Imagine a judge that will right every wrong

  and turn lament to joyous song. 

Imagine not just this; for all this is written, sure and true

Imagine rather what in our time such a One might do 

  Come Lord Jesus, our hearts and city renew

  Come Lord Jesus, our hearts and city renew.
