Ministry Areas - Prayer Resources

Dear Lord, we thank you for the opportunity to work together as a ministry area.
May we engage with each other with faith and encouragement.
May we manage each situation with wisdom and mutual respect.
May we serve with integrity, creativity and purpose.
May we speak with openness and gentleness.
May we offer our gifts, time and finances with generosity.
May we face each challenge with courage and the desire to grow through it.
May we all be drawn deeper into our relationship with You and be known as your disciples.
Help us to show your love, proclaim your Good News and grow your Kingdom in this place.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. AMEN

For Individual Prayer

God, the Creator of all things, please help me build positive relationships with all my brothers and sisters in Christ, throughout the ministry area and diocese.
May this be a time for growing together in the unity of Christ.
Empower me to be an encourager and to bring joy to those I work and serve with.
Enable me to be a good team player that others enjoy working with.
Give me insight on how to deal with negative or difficult situations and help me make every effort to do what leads to peace and builds up other people in faith.
And give me a heart to celebrate all the blessings in our lives and the life of our Ministry Area.
In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. AMEN
