Prayer Diary 5th – 11th January
Monday
We remember today the journey of the wise men.
Inspired by a sign, they set off in search of a new-born king.
They followed the star.
Help us to follow your light.
May your light shine in the darkness.
Tuesday
We remember how they persevered, travelling in faith,
uncertain of their destination.
Help us to have their faith.
May your light shine in the darkness.
Wednesday
We remember how they refused to be discouraged
despite their reception in Jerusalem.
Help us to refuse to be discouraged.
May your light shine in the darkness.
Thursday
We remember how they kept going, single minded in pursuit
of their goal, until at last they came face to face with the infant Jesus.
Help us to never give up.
May your light shine in the darkness.
Friday
We pray for all who seek today.
All who are looking for a sense of purpose in their lives
and spiritual fulfilment. All who are searching for you.
Show us the way Lord.
May your light shine in the darkness.
Saturday
We pray for all who are lost.
Help them to keep looking even when there is no end in sight.
To keep believing. To keep trusting.
Guide them and protect them.
Shine your light in their darkness.
Sunday
May the experience of the wise men inspire all who seek for truth
to keep on searching and discover you for themselves.
May we never stop seeking you Lord and
May your light shine in the darkness. In Jesus’ Amen.
