Prayer Diary - Suggestions for daily prayer
Monday
Lord God, We thank you that you are shining your Light into peoples’ hearts.
We are excited that in our own parishes You are drawing new believers to turn
from the world and to trust in Jesus. Father we pray for these new Christians:
protect them, feed them with your Word, fill them with your Love and guide
them in your Way, Amen
Tuesday
Heavenly Father, Lord of all, Thank you that Your heart reaches out to each and
every person; that Your heart desire is that everyone will turn and trust in you.
We pray that hearts will hear your knock upon their door; that they and we will
hear and open up, and invite You in; that they and we shall live and sup with
you. Amen
Wednesday
Heavenly Father, we know we are so weak; but You Father, we know, are
strong; You never weary; You are ever faithful; Thank you that you tell us
‘The Joy of the Lord is our strength’; Lead me to rejoice in Jesus, at all times, in
all things, no matter what. For He is my Lord and reigns over all. Amen
Thursday
Lord, draw us to hunger for you. Grant us conviction in our hearts and minds
that we will choose in faith to hunger for you. Stir me to a private prayer
before you; that I may know You more nearly, love you more dearly and be
brave to walk in Your call upon me. Amen
Friday
Lord you know our lives are so busy. Time seems so precious and so short.
Lord, help me please. Stir me to set aside a time, however short, that I may
each day be in stillness with You. For Lord I hear these words you speak: ‘Be
still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted’ and Lord I want to exalt You.
Amen
Saturday
Lord, I offer to you all those things of the past week, my worries and concerns,
the things I have done well and the things I could have done better, and I pray
especially for …………… who you have placed into my thoughts as needing your
loving presence. Amen
Sunday
O Lord, Make the doors of our church wide enough to receive all who need
human love and fellowship, and your care, and narrow enough to shut out all
envy, pride and uncharitableness. Here may the tempted find succour,
the sorrowing receive comfort, here may the careless be awakened to
repentance, the penitent be assured of your mercy; and here may all your
children renew their strength and go on their way rejoicing through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen
Thank you to Michael Shellswell for the prayers this month, if you would like to
write prayers for this page of Octobers Bulletin, please contact Anne by

Three Rivers Team
Looking back to July- in brief, what a month!
ARRIVAL OF REVD HEATHER WEST
Heather was welcomed to the team with a lunch in Lewannick
on Sunday 5th after her ordination in Truro Cathedral on the 3rd;
we hope and pray that she had an enjoyable curacy with us.
GARDEN SAFARI
After a damp start the weather improved and showed the
selection of wonderful gardens off to their best. After the
gardens delightful refreshments were served at Pat Dibb’s
NEFARIOUS – Merchant of Souls
The film was watched by 18 people, and dealt with the issue of sexual
exploitation of children and women. The staggering figure is that one child is
trafficked every 30 seconds. We will be following this up in 2016 and hope to
develop a Lent event around the need for improved awareness on this
uncomfortable subject.
PRAYER SERVICE
The second of the new Third Sunday Evening Services was held on 12th July in
North Hill, a time of quiet and offering of prayers to God
SOUTH PETHERWIN COMMUNITY SHOP OPENING
The church was full for the joyful opening by Bishop
Tim. Thanks were offered to all those who worked so
hard and refreshments shared. Items were purchased
from the shop which is now open daily from 8-12
Monday to Saturday.
GOD IS FULL OF SUPRISES
24 peopled gathered to hear Penny Shellswell speak about her work in Malawi
with both passion for the work of spreading the Good News of Christ and with
humour about the conditions that she finds herself coping with. Newsletters from
the Alabaster Ministries with whom she has been working with are available in
the churches.
NEW WORSHIP LEADER
It is a delight to welcome Michael Shellswell as a worship
leader to the team. He was commissioned at a service in St.
Mabyn Church on Sunday 26th July, congratulations, he will
be serving across the team where and when necessary.
