Reflect on this prayer from an n:spire member from 1st Carshalton Beeches…
Dear God,
Thank you for the fun, the laughter, the joy and the high spirits provided to us every group night. Thank you for providing a space to wash away any negativity that may’ve been brought upon us during the week. With the holidays coming up to us, please protect us, whether it be from scorching temperatures to come or hurtful news from around the world which may cause fear. Put a hand on our shoulders to let us know we’ll be ok. When we come back in September, please bring more fun every group night.
Thank you and Amen

Thank God for the gifts and talents given to each young person. As they receive their exam results, pray for wisdom, strength, and peace to navigate whatever challenges and opportunities lie ahead. Whether they celebrate or face disappointment, may they know your love surrounds them and that their value is not determined by their performance.

Focus on strength, guidance, and protection for our leaders who give their time to serve others and for the work they do, that it may be fruitful and bring glory to God.

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.
