Thursday prayers
This Sunday we will be looking at the famous words of Jesus in Matthew 6.19-24.
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Look at the illustration below:
· How would you have illustrated the verse?
· Why did the artist put a lock to illustrate it and not a treasure chest or something else?
· What’s your treasure?
As the reality of what Covid-19 means for all of life, we pray for every area of our family and community life.
· Pray for the shop owners you know whose livelihood depends on the business?
· Pray for those in critical care who have come under increased work pressure when many of us have appreciated space to work.
· Pray for us as a church as we begin to plan ahead about how we will do worship and ministry. What will this mean for our vulnerable adults, our families, our children?
· But more than anything else, this is a wonderful opportunity for our faith to shine.
