Each day this week, we will be sharing a prayer from our General Election Prayer Guide.
Find the prayer guide and our election resources here: jpit.uk/elections
Prayer for Political Leaders
Leader of all leaders, we pray for those who hold positions of leadership and authority in our government and institutions. Grant them wisdom to govern with justice, compassion, and humility. May they be mindful of their responsibility to serve all people, not some, especially the most vulnerable and marginalised. Give them courage to stand up for truth, righteousness, and peace, even in the face of opposition, and to resist the temptation of self-interest. Surround them with wise counsellors and advisors who will guide them in making decisions for all citizens. Amen.

The National Trust week of action is from July 29 to August 4. It’s getting bigger & bigger, with new groups signing up every day!
But some people are so keen to urge the charity to drop Barclays, that they can’t wait until July 29 😂

Churches across the diocese are invited to join in with prayer for the Grenfell community, using a text specially written by the Rt Revd Hugh Nelson, Bishop of St Germans.
The seventh anniversary of the fire is on June 17, 2024 and churches are asked to remember the 72 people who died in their prayers.
Holy God,
We pray for people and communities hurt and harmed by the Grenfell fire; Grant them your presence and peace.
We pray for people and communities carrying the consequences of injustice and inequality; Grant them your justice and judgement.
We pray for people and communities fighting for change and a better future; Grant them your healing and hope.
Holy God, holy and strong, be with the people and communities of Grenfell.
Amen

🙏💚If you’re the praying kind…
All this week, across our Duchy, this special prayer is being said: from Truro Cathedral to the Isles of Scilly. And even by a Cornish curate in the Diocese of Leeds. Could you use it too?
Thank you Bishop Hugh for writing such a beautiful prayer for us all to use in solidarity and love as June 14 approaches – 7 years since Grenfell Tower Fire claimed 72 lives including 18 children.

The core of our Christian confession is that God has truly been revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. One God yet three distinct persons – united in action and love. Jesus, the beloved Son who gives himself for our sins, reveals the heart of the Father who sent him, and the Holy Spirit draws each of us into the dynamic of this life.
But this doctrine isn’t a puzzle to be solved, but a reality to enter into – and we do that best in prayer and worship. As we mark Trinity Sunday, let us celebrate the truth of the God who is love by joining together with earth and heaven in singing, ‘Glory …’

You are the peace of all things calm,
You are the place to hide from harm.
You are the light that shines in dark,
You are the heart’s eternal spark.
You are the door that’s open wide,
You are the guest who waits inside.
You are the light, the truth, the way,
You are my Saviour this very day.

A prayer for exam season, shared by Tom Hart, Youth President 🙏
Gracious God, we thank you for always being with us.
We thank you for making us the way that we are, all having different gifts and skills.
Lord, we pray that you will have your guiding hand over us as we complete exams, submit coursework and have practical assessments.
These times can be daunting for everyone, students, teachers and the family and friends of all involved. Grant us reassurance that through this time you will be with each and every one of us in the preparation, during and after assessments. And Lord we pray, when we are in times of doubt and worry, you provide us with the courage to ask for help, so we may look after ourselves.
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen

Unusually, I am placing a second post here tonight. I have felt burdened for so many people today, and have spent most of it praying. I crafted this prayer this morning and invite you to pray it with me for those whom the Lord has laid on your heart.
———
Lord,
When I feel weak, please be my strength.
When I am weary, be my rest.
When I am anxious, be my peace.
When I am sad, be my joy.
When I am lonely, be my companion.
When I am gripped by doubt, give me faith.
When I miss my family, sit with me.
When I am in pain, be my healer.
When I am impatient, be my patience.
When I am confused, still me.
When I am angry, soothe me.
When I feel broken, hold me.
When the future feels uncertain, keep my eyes on you.
When the waves crash in, lift me up.
When the storms rage, calm the waves.
When my heart is broken, mend me.
In everything be my all in all.
I need you more than I can say
But thank you that you love me more than I could ever understand.
You are my enough.
Let me rest in your rest
And stand in your strength
Amen
