Prayers

The Collect for 17th Sunday after Trinity Sunday

Almighty God, you have made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless till they find their rest in you. Teach us to offer ourselves to your service, that here we may have your peace, and in the world to come may see you face to face, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
 

Prayers for this week:

Diocese of Singapore

• We uplift Archbishop Titus Chung and all clergy and church workers in the Anglican Diocese of Singapore and Province of Southeast Asia. May the Lord work powerfully in them and through them as they continue to serve Him.
• Let us pray for our Education Mission and chaplaincy work in schools across our Singapore Diocese – may our chaplains and pastoral workers sow seeds of faith in all the schools they support. May they be encouraged and greatly blessed in their ministry.

World

• We pray for an end to wars and military conflicts in various parts of the world including Ukraine, Russia and the Middle East.
• We pray for the people in Nepal and China who are affected by the recent glacial floods, that they will receive aid to rebuild their infrastructure, hospitals, homes and schools. We pray for the lost, the sick and the vulnerable to receive help and medical attention quickly. We pray for the grieving families and communities to be comforted and healed in body, mind and spirit.

Singapore

• We thank God for His constant protection and provision of all our daily necessities
• We pray for spiritual awakening among our people, for a hunger and thirst for God to arise in the hearts of all who live in Singapore.
