Our Prayers

Heavenly Father,

Your Son set us the example of valuing children and treating them with love and compassion. Help
us to uphold those standards with every young person we meet. May we inspire them, protect them from harm and support them to achieve the potential You have blessed them with.
We pray for all parents, caregivers and children who are going through difficult times.

We pray for families struggling with rising costs of food, energy, fuel and rent; we cry out for
protection of these most basic rights, particularly among those who are vulnerable. Give us the
opportunity and means to be a blessing and support to them however best we can. Help us to strive for justice for them. Help us to ensure that they do not go cold or hungry, that they have a safe place to call home, that each family member feels valued.

We pray for families affected by violence, abuse or conflict. We ask You to protect them, and for
Your church to support them with love and practical help. Give all families in danger safe passage
to places of safety. May they be given warm hospitality and the support they need to rebuild their
broken lives.

We pray for Spurgeons staff and volunteers who work so tirelessly to bring love and care into the
lives of families going through difficult times. We ask that You strengthen and protect them so that
they can give their very best in their work.

Thank you, Lord, for all who support Spurgeons through prayer, donations and volunteering to help every child to have the opportunity to achieve the unique potential You have given to them.
We ask all these things in the name of Your precious Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
