Find here a prayer for every day in February

1st February

Loving God, we pray for those whose dreams have been destroyed,
who no longer have the heart to look forward,
who have lost their vision for the future.
So many people, known and unknown,
whose happiness and hopes have been destroyed by tragedy,
whose faith in loved ones has been betrayed,
who face poverty, unemployment, homelessness,
disease, starvation – even death – their trust in you
having been tested beyond the limit.
God of hope, light a new flame in their hearts.
Amen

2nd February

Loving God, we pray for all who plod wearily through life
with no sense of purpose – those who feel the future is empty,
bereft of promise, and those who only live for today,
fearful of tomorrow. God of hope, light a new flame in their hearts.
Amen

3rd February

Loving God, touch our hearts, we pray, stir our imagination,
rekindle our faith, renew our hope.
And so may new dreams and new visions be born in our lives.
God of hope, light a new flame in their hearts.
Amen

4th February

Father God, hear our prayer for children everywhere.
Provide for and protect, grant them health, wisdom, peace, and joy.
Guide their footsteps, and equip them for their journey through life,
wherever it may lead. Be with those who love them,
and those whom they will love in turn,
that together they will taste your goodness and celebrate the life you offer in all its fullness, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

5th February

Father God, thank you for grandparents and all they do.
Thank you for the many ways they give a helping hand –
the practical support they offer, the time they give up,
he skills they use, the things they make possible.
Helper of all, hear our prayer

6th February

Lord Jesus Christ, we pray, week in, week out,
that your kingdom will come and your will be done.
It’s easy to say the words, far harder to mean them,
for they are concerned finally not jut with you but with us.
Help us to understand that your kingdom is not just in the future,
but that begins within us, hear and now,
and so help us to recognise our role in bringing it nearer,
through the love we show, the care we display and the service we offer.
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Amen

7th February

So now we pray for our world and for an end to all that frustrates your purpose. We think of those in countries racked by conflict, famine, disease and poverty; for those who face repression and discrimination, persecuted for what they believe or for who they are; and of those who are victims of crime, violence and war.
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Amen

8th February

We pray for the unemployed and homeless,
the sick and suffering, the lonely and unloved,
the disabled and disadvantaged.
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Amen

9th February

We pray for those who work to build a more just and loving world,
all who strive to bring help and healing to those in need –
pastors, preachers, missionaries and evangelists, doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, counsellors.
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Amen

10th February

We think, too, of aid agencies, pressure groups, charities, churches, politicians, police, and members of the armed forces – these and so many more who, in different ways, contribute to the fulfilment of your purpose.
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Amen

11th February

Lord Jesus Christ, we look forward to that day when you will rule in splendour, when you will establish justice between the nations and there will be an end to sorrow, suffering, darkness, and death.
Until then, help us to commit ourselves to your service and to work for your glory, so that we may honestly say and truly mean;
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Amen

12th February

13th February

Father, we take your good gifts for granted;
our selfishness spoils your world;
what we say and do spoils our friendships;
how we live spoils our friendship with you.
Father, we have come to say that we are sorry;
we have come to ask your forgiveness.
We ask this in Jesus’ name
Amen

14th February

Our Lord in heaven, we thank you for the gift of love.

Lord, we are amazed when we discover just how much you love us.
We are thankful that you want to make our lives new.

but Jesus has taught us to call you our Father.
We thought you were a long way off,
but Jesus has shown us just how near to us you are.
Amen

16th February

Lord, we thought you were just a word in the Bible,
but Jesus has shown us that you share our daily lives.
We cannot see you with our eyes or hear you with our ears,
but we see the hills and mountains,
the trees and flowers, the sea and rivers that speak to us of your care.
We see you in the love of a friend, and in the face of Jesus Christ.
Amen.

and because you have promised
to go with us when we leave.
Fill us with your love and empower us with your Spirit
that we may worship you in Christ.
