Give comfort and peace

Ministry

Feb 25

God of consolation, give comfort and peace to those in Te Tairāwhiti and Hawkes Bay as they take stock of damage, and plan recovery.

Give wisdom to decision makers, and compassion to all as they navigate difficult situations.

Be with us, Lord, as we continue our Lenten journey. May we find the joy in simple living, and be freed from temptation and test.

We pray for those we know who are sick or in need of our prayers.

We pray for those in Long Term Care.
