#MorningPrayer
Inspire us Lord,
to seek you both in times
of joy, opportunity, and optimism,
and in times of disillusionment,
fear, and distress,
that we may find in you
the hope your kingdom,
the peace of your presence,
and the love by which you raise us
even from death to life.

#MorningPrayer
Fill us, Lord,
with your creative,
reconciling love.
In response to calls
to exploit and enhance
differences between
people and nations,
to divide communities
and cultures,
to attack or
discriminate against
that which seems other,
may we build peace
and offer hope.

#MorningPrayer
Lord, your apostle Thomas
would not simply accept
the faith of others,
but only a faith
that was his own.
May we encounter
your risen presence
in our own lives,
the fruit of your cross
and empty tomb,
that your life and love
may flow in us,
through us,
and from us.

#MorningPrayer
Keep our hearts and minds,
our focus and faith,
fixed on you, Lord;
upon your call
and your kingdom.
Let us be not distracted,
diverted or derailed
by the lures of selfish gain,
but nourished and nurtured
by your gift of yourself,
ready to share your love with all.

The Manchester South & Streford Deanery Lay Leaders morning finishes and the space settles. Blessings, prayer and love remains as people leave, to be marvellous in their roles: Churchwardens, youth & children's, ALMs, PCC, treasurers and more, serving in their churches. @manchester.anglican.org

For all of the noise and the hype, the basic facts are these: Ukraine and has agreed to an unconditional ceasefire. Russia has not.

And tonight, Putin keeps on bombing.

#MorningPrayer
We are human, Lord;
as we get used to things,
and to people,
and even to your love,
their familiarity can dull
the value we give them.
Inspire us to see afresh
the joys they bring,
to appreciate them anew,
as if we were seeing
spring burst forth
for the first time.

Word of the day is ‘whiffling’ (17th century): fickle, inconstant, and making it up as you go along.

#MorningPrayer
Awaken us, Lord,
to your presence
in every situation
that we encounter;
remind us of your promise
to be with us always,
and to perfuse our lives
with your peace.
Help us see the signs
of your presence and love
working in and around us;
rouse us to follow your lead.

#MorningPrayer
Teach our hearts, Lord,
to give worth
to that which is worthy,
rather than to value that
which is ultimately vain,
that which feeds the ego
yet starves the soul.
Help us prioritise your love,
and invest in each other,
in mutuality, in community,
in building peace.
