Prayer for Monday 9th June

Today, from our church family, we pray for Anne McGowan.

Loving Father, we pray today for all who now live in a residential care home or nursing home.  We pray particularly for Daisy Bank Annexe, our local respite care home.  May all residents receive the care and support necessary to make them feel secure and happy.  May all carers, managers and health care professionals receive the training and resources they need to deliver the best possible care to those in their charge.  May they fulfil their duties cheerfully, patiently and lovingly.  Bless and support those who are preparing to go into a home, their families, friends and their social workers.  Strengthen those finding it difficult to settle into a new environment with new staff and unfamiliar routines to understand.  Lord, be present with all who are anxious or afraid and help them to trust in your love. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.

Prayer for Tuesday 29 April

Today from our church family we pray for Elisabeth Gutermuth

Dearest Father, we bring before you the residents and staff in our local care home at Daisy Bank Annexe. May the residents receiving respite care there, feel comfortable and secure, valued as individuals and also retain links with the wider community. We pray for the staff, and ask you Lord to make them always kind and sympathetic of the needs of those in their care. We pray for all those with learning difficulties and those whose emotional and psychological special needs leave them vulnerable. May those who are receiving “care in the community” be properly supported and not left to cope alone. We pray for the Walsall Older Persons group which meets at St Martins, both for those who attend and those who organise meals, trips and activities for them. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer
