Prayers for the week (4)

Lord, some people don’t think of you at all and only attend church as a convenience for baptisms, weddings and funerals. They show no commitment to you Father, or to prayer, or your word the Bible.
We all know people with little or even no faith and we pray that one day they will join the many who follow Jesus.
Lord, you created people to have a free will and make choices for themselves but many people choose not to follow you.
I’m sure that in a lot of cases todays non-believers turn to you late in their lives and, because you give people time to change, late comers are as welcome in your Kingdom as as those who have followed you all their days.
Amen

 

Talking to God

Lord we can see that prayer is vital for us to grow in our Christian lives and we should try to pray every day.
Help us to keep to this even if we feel we don’t have time, and help us to listen to you just as closely and pay attention to what you are saying to us so we can live through your guidance.
Amen
