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.
March 2026
This month we are praying for the Environment.
I Timothy 2:1-3 says that we are to pray, intercede and give thanks for kings and all people in authority. This is God’s command to every believer today so it is good to take time to pray for those who govern over us that they may do so well and that we may, 'lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.(1 Timothy 2)
So please consider adding these prayers to your intercessions this month:
- Thank God for the beauty, diversity, and abundance of the natural world that he created.
- Pray for wisdom for governments, industry, farmers and ordinary people to care responsibly for the planet.
- Pray for restoration for forests, oceans, rivers, and wildlife that are under threat.
- Pray for people most impacted by climate change, pollution, drought, flooding, and natural disasters—especially poorer and marginalized communities.
- Ask God to help us live simply, reduce waste, and make choices that reflect care for creation.
You may like to say this prayer:
Creator God,
we thank you for the beauty of the earth—
for its forests and oceans,
its creatures great and small,
and the air we breathe each day.
Give us wisdom to live gently on the earth,
courage to protect what is fragile,
and compassion for those most affected by environmental harm.
Renew in us a spirit of gratitude and responsibility,
that we may be faithful stewards of the world you have made. Amen.
