Older People.

Give thanks for older people and the encouragement and practical help they offer to their families, church and community. Pray that they may feel valued and appreciated, and secure in their surroundings. Pray also for older people in our residential and nursing homes, and for ministers, deaconesses and pastoral assistants who conduct weekly devotions.

Politicians.

Please pray for politicians at the Oireachtas, Westminster and Stormont as they return to Parliament following the summer recess. Pray for wisdom and guidance and for God’s leading in this autumn term. Pray for Christian politicians that they will be ambassadors for Christ in the public square.
