A Prayer for Our Village

The Monday Night Bible Study group has been exploring the ministry of praying blessings for others and have put together a prayer to bless the village. They hope that others in the church will find it useful:

Peasedown St John, I bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that He may protect the vulnerable and
those who struggle with mental and physical ill health,
granting them His shalom so that they and
all their relationships may flourish.
May God's Spirit give this whole village a longing to know God,
drawing them towards the one who created and loves them.
I bless your faithful people,
that God may encourage them with wisdom and understanding
as they grow in knowledge of Him and give increase of those who are being saved.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
