DIOCESE OF BRISTOL CYCLE OF PRAYER

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every

situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,

present your requests to God. And the peace of God,

which transcends all understanding, will guard your

hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)

Prayer is an amazing gift which strengthens our relationship with God; it has the power to change us and the world around us. When we pray at all times, in all circumstances and for all things, we see God’s Kingdom come.

Throughout the year, we are committed to praying together each day for the ministry of every parish, chaplaincy, church school and area of ministry in the Diocese of Bristol, as well as for our link Dioceses in Uganda.

We would invite you to use the daily Cycle of Prayer to inform your prayers as we connect with God, each other and our communities across the Diocese.

This Cycle will be followed at the evening service every day at Bristol Cathedral. You are invited to attend and join in these prayers, especially on a day when your parish, school or area of ministry is named. If you would like a short prayer request included, please let the Cathedral know at least five days beforehand by emailing prayer@bristol-cathedral.co.uk.

Details of the Cathedral’s services can be found at bristol-cathedral.co.uk.
