Jesus said:
Matthew 6:6
'But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.'
Prayer is an essential part of the Christian's life. When we pray we are 'Being with Jesus, with others on our heart'
Each month. alongside prayers for your family, your community and yourselves we ask that you might consider prayers for a particular topic.
July 2026
Did you know that the NHS was ‘born’ on the 5th July 1948?
Which is why it is the subject for our prayers this month.
Please consider including in your prayers:
Strength for staff — for energy, resilience, and rest for everyone working under pressure.
Wisdom for leaders — for good decisions, clear direction, and compassionate leadership.
Healing for patients — for comfort, recovery, and peace for those in hospital or waiting for treatment.
Provision of resources — for enough staff, equipment, and funding to meet real needs.
Hope and encouragement — for God’s presence to lift weary hearts and bring light into difficult days.
A prayer for the NHS
Gracious God, we thank You for the gift of the NHS and for all who serve within it. Strengthen doctors, nurses, carers, and every member of staff with Your compassion and Your peace.
Grant wisdom to those who lead, skill to those who treat, and comfort to all who wait or suffer.
Bless our hospitals, clinics, and community teams with the resources they need and the hope that comes from You alone. Amen
