Let the peace of this place surround you as you sit or kneel quietly. Let the hurry and worry of your life fall away from you. God loves you are cares for you. He is here with you now - and is always willing to listen. Speak to Him slowly and thoughtfully - give yourself time for Him to bring things to your mind.

Lord, thank you ..
for your presence here,
for the opportunity to pray,
for the promise or peace,
for the beauty of the world,
the kindness of people ...
for all those whom I love ...
and who love me ...
for your love towards me
(and especially for ...
for the Cross of Christ and the power          
of your Holy Spirit.
Help me to show my gratitude in deeds
as well as words.
Lord, I am troubled ...
I am anxious for myself ...
I am distressed for others ...
especially about ...
Help me to trust your love, for you
carry our sorrows,
Teach me to act and speak in the way
that you want.
Give me the wisdom to know when not
to interfere.
Calm my fears, for all things are in
your hands.




Lord, I am sorry ...
for the times when I have been hasty or
unkind
(especially to . . .)
thought or acted selfishly, failed to
forgive or ask forgiveness,
forgotten your presence, taken your
love for granted.
I thank you for your promise to forgive
all those who turn back to you in
repentance.
Lord, I pray for ...
My family ... and friends,
My neighbours at home, at work,
the ones I like ...
and dislike ...
for those who are ill ...
those who are troubled or who mourn,
for the opprissed,
for those involved in disaster or war.
Bless the, Father, in their various
troubles and show me how I may help.

O heavenly Father, your will for me (and for all men) is my eternal happiness now and for ever. I thank you for
the blessings you have given me and ask for strength to walk in the way where you lead me. Help me to remember the love of Jesus shown on the Cross and to accept the new life and love and freedom which He offers to me.
