Here at the beginning of the New Year, now underway in the east, we bring our prayers before God.
Once again I begin with the prayer used last year:
My God, my Creator, my Redeemer, my Love
Spirit pervading all creation, of which I am a part
Spirit which moves within me and unites me to that whole
May we grow towards unity
May we help each other in our daily needs, earthly, spiritual and emotional
May I learn to have compassion for myself and others
May I be open to the promptings of the Spirit
So that we all may live in peace and love and rejoice in the glory of creation.
Let it be so.
--------------------
I give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.

For those eagerly anticipating what the new year will bring - may your hopes be fulfilled.
For those who find the new year hard to face - God give you the strength to face it and to take each day as it comes.
For those afraid, alone, unhappy and/or with nobody to care for them, the lonely and the lost, may you find peace and comfort this night.
And for those who have to work, on hospital wards, or as police or security, or to take care of others, may you have a safe and peaceful night.
And for no terror attacks to disrupt the new year.

(Thanks for prayers for St. Louis - things are pretty bad here.)
I ask your prayers for my father, Tom, in home hospice. (He's a couple of days past the docs' expectations for his survival - go! fight! live!)
Selfishly, I also ask your prayers for me, now starting my second year of living with Stage IV cancer. I would like to keep living for a while longer.
Prayers for all in need...

Please could you help me pray for my mum and dad? Dad is having tests at the moment for various ailments, he is sure that everything is Absolutely Fine and there is nothing wrong at all, whilst mum is convinced that every tiny symptom is a sign of Something Terrible and they're just counting down to an apocalyptic terminal diagnosis, and so is basically a tearful wreck. Both my sister and I live miles and miles away (my sister is in a different country, and we're an 8 hour drive away), so it's not even like we can pop in and give them a bit of light relief.

Can I ask you please for a prayer that Mili's kitten - missing since Christmas night might be found.
She was seen two nights ago, but a fruitless search last revealed no further sign of her. Mili is distraught she has had so many losses in her short life and this little cat means the world to her or I wouldn't ask. Thank you all.

for all in need, especially JtL's mum and dad, Gill H. to lose the mouse* (ugh!) and for the return of Mili's kitten.
* Our neighbours have three cats, so the local mouse population sees our house as a sort of cat-free zone. I'm not really phobic about them, but I'd rather they'd go away ...

I went to church this morning - and left after 20 minutes. Just felt completely disconnected from what was going on there. It's an ongoing problem that seems to be coming to a head again. Please pray that I can find a way to sort things out.
And I've got a hospital appointment next Saturday for a scan. another ongoing problem that seems to be getting worse. Feel scared. And lonely.
