There is a Quote by Katie M. John: “a problem shared is a problem halved” who better to share your worries, fears, doubts, anxieties and also your thankfulness, joys and blessings than with God our Father. Have a chat today in your own words, prayer doesn't have to be long or filled with special words, God already knows everything about you, but it is good to voice your thanks and concerns to Him.

The secret to living is learning to pray –It’s asking our Father for strength for the day!
It’s trusting completely that His boundless grace, will overcome care and each problem we face!
It’s walking by Faith every mile that we plod and knowing our prayers bring us closer to God. Anon

A Prayer for October
Dear Lord and Creator of all things, In this fast-moving and high-tech world, help us to slow down – just occasionally – to notice the rhythms of Your creation; the beauty of the colours of autumn; the annual ritual of falling leaves and darkening evenings. All part of Your cycle of the year that we often take for granted.
And yet Lord, there is evidence of changes in our climate – extremes of temperature, droughts, floods and wildfires. There is evidence that our behaviour might be responsible for damaging Your world.
Lord, we thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness and grace to us. We are sorry when we get things wrong. Thank you for sending Jesus to show us the way to be in a right relationship with You. Help us to put our trust in Him and as part of living Christian lives, to accept our responsibility for caring for the world You created. In Jesus’ name, Amen By Daphne Kitching
Five Finger Prayer
1. Your thumb is nearest to you - So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember.
2. The next finger is the pointing finger - Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction.
3. The next finger is the tallest finger - It reminds us of our elected leaders in government. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance.
4. The fourth finger is our ring finger - Surprising to many is the the fact, that this is our weakest finger; as many piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night. You cannot pray too much for them.
5. And lastly comes our little finger; the smallest finger of all, - Which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible says, "The least shall be the greatest among you." Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put in proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.
