Lord Jesus,

Loving God,
As A-Level results are received across the country this week, we lift up every studentโ
those celebrating, those disappointed, and those unsure of what comes next.
Remind them that their worth is not measured by grades,
but by Your unchanging love.
Bring peace to anxious hearts, courage to face the future,
and wisdom to see each step as part of a bigger journey.
For parents, carers, and teachersโ
give strength, patience, and words of encouragement.
Guide each young person in the path You have prepared for them.
Let them know they are deeply known, fully loved, and never alone.
Amen.

A prayer from the Difference Team
Almighty and merciful God,
whose Son became a refugee and had no place to call his own;
look with mercy on those who today are fleeing from danger,
homeless and hungry.
Bless those who work to bring them relief;
inspire generosity and compassion in all our hearts;
and guide the nations of the world towards that day when all will rejoice in your Kingdom of justice and of peace;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

| Liverpool parade crash: a prayer for those affected |
| Loving God who holds our hand through times of difficulty and pain, we recognise the agony and devastation felt by so many at this difficult time. As celebration moves to anguish, we pray you will be with those who experienced the scenes of devastation over the weekend. Comfort those in pain, bring peace to those in turmoil and bring direction to those who are confused. We lift before you those whose work is not yet complete, the emergency services, the council leaders and the investigation teams. May they work with diligence and wisdom to uncover the reasons behind the events of the weekend and bring closure to the tragedy of the weekend. We look to Christ, who himself suffered for our sake and we pray all this in his name. Amen URC |

Speak to us Lord,
between rest and work,
between work and sleep,
between busyness and silence,

between coming home and settling down.

we might grow into fullness of life,
every moment of our days.
Amen.
