A Prayer of the Day from the Methodist Church

A prayer for purity of understanding (Fri, 28 Nov 2025)
God of all understanding, the more I learn about your holy justice the more I realise that even my prayers can be riddled with sin. In praying for other people I have thought that I know best what they need. I have taken the seat of judgement and found others wanting. I have not challenged the ground of my own understanding, allowing prejudice and stereotypes to flourish unchecked. Forgive me. Help me to kneel before your throne of grace with both confidence and humility. Remind me to leave the judging and directing to you. Enable me to pray for others not by way of the gulfs that divide us but via the love in which you hold us all in common, revealed to us in Jesus. Amen.

A prayer of adoration (Thu, 27 Nov 2025)
You are the One, the Holy One, who looks on all you have made, with love. You gaze at me, and your faithful kindness overwhelms me. I fall silent before you, my words stalling, as my heart breaks open and pours out my thanks, my delight in you. The more I gaze back at you, the more I see through your eyes; I am born again in your devotion to your creation. Let my words fall before you, but grant me the words and the acts of love you long for me to have for your world. Amen.
