Prayer focus for the week beginning 3rd March 2024:

Before you pray, give thanks that ‘You, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you. Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer. (Ps.86 V.5)

• The Departed and those who mourn their loss remembering especially Valerie Grey and Stuart Jepps (Funeral on Thursday 7th March at 1pm in the Hilltop Chapel, Haycombe Crematorium, 209 Whiteway Road, Bath, BA2 2RQ). We give thanks for their lives, and pray for God’s comfort for their family and friends.

• Local issues: for the recently elected town councillors, that they may find positive roles to undertake, and may be able to contribute effectively to the work of the council.
• National issues: For improved cancer referrals and for more prompt treatment, also for more radiographers and other specialists to be trained
• World issues: for the ongoing discussions between Israel and Hamas, that a true cease fire can be brokered during Ramadan, that hostages may be released and aid brought to the million-plus people of Gaza.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord. Psalm 31
