God of justice, truth, and faith, we pray for those facing injustice, give them strength and hope. We pray for teachers and leaders, guide them in truth and honesty. We pray for those who feel discouraged, remind them that you are near. We pray for the Church, that we would rest in Your justice.

God, we come today from different places and walks of life, carrying joys and burdens. We thank You that You meet us where we are, even when things feel unsettled or unfair. In our restlessness help us be in Your peace. In our confusion, help us to feel secure in Your truth In our smallness, help us to trust that You can grow the tiniest seed of faith into something strong. May this time of worship be a safe space to rest, to listen, and to grow.

We confess our refusal to encourage and to support those who take risks, and put their careers and lives on the line for climate and social justice and the protection of their habitats and homes. May we find the love and the courage of leadership to our neighbours and support to our leaders for peace with Creation and healing of the wounds of Your world. Amen.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. Genesis 1:1-2.

O Lord, in soft whispers we pray, For hearts lost and souls gone astray. May sorrow find cease, And strife turn to peace, Guiding light through the dark of the day.

The Earth belongs to God, a home for every creature. How beautiful, how full of life, the cycles and seasons of God's Word. Let all who have breath praise their God, let all who listen learn. Amen.

Please join us in praying for peace. #InternationalDayofPeace #PrayForPeace
The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland is calling us to join her in a prayer for peace this Sunday 21 September as Churches around the world remember all those who are suffering amid the horrors of armed conflict. In doing so we will be joining other denominations and groups such as Christian Aid, and you can join in online using #PrayForPeace. The prayer is followed by a joint Churches' statement urging the UK Government to formally recognise the State of Palestine and to take action to end the loss of life and devasting impact of the war in Gaza. Rt Rev Rosie Frew says: "This Sunday is the UN's International Day of Peace, a day when our thoughts will inevitably turn to the Middle East. Can I invite all those guiding worship to lead your congregations in an ecumenical prayer for peace written by Most Rev Archbishop Hosam Naoum, pastor to the Anglican communities in Jerusalem and the Middle East. "Archbishop Hosam attended our General Assembly in May and spoke movingly on the situation in the Holy Land. He has continued to keep us updated on the challenges being faced. There is great strength in churches coming together as one in prayer." A Prayer for the Holy Land Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world: In your mercy, provide for all those in Gaza and beyond who suffer from hunger and starvation, that they may be given both physical bread to nourish their bodies and heavenly bread to sustain their souls. By the power of your Spirit, bring a speedy end to this cruel war, the release of all captives, care for the sick and wounded, comfort for those who have lost loved-ones, and the opening of a pathway for a just and lasting peace here in the very homeland where your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, ministered during his earthly life; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. The Most Reverend Dr Hosam E. Naoum Anglican Archbishop in Jerusalem August, 2025 Church Leaders' statement on Gaza, and on the recognition of the State of Palestine by the United Kingdom Government: We unite to ask for the immediate cessation of violence and the relief of the suffering of the people in Gaza, and echo the words of Pope Leo in calling for "a ceasefire, for the release of the hostages, for a negotiated diplomatic solution, and for full respect for international humanitarian law." In reaffirming the "inviolable dignity" of each person made in the image of God, he reaffirms that understanding which we hold in common and speaks of a dignity that deserves to be "respected and protected". We are deeply conscious of the extent to which that human dignity has been violated and that both young and old, strong and vulnerable, are all alike exposed to the threat of death and destruction. In the light of this, we call for the release of the hostages taken on 7 October 2023 and an immediate ceasefire for the sake of all. Further, we call for all parties to unite in the provision of humanitarian aid and, while recognising the extreme difficulties faced by all agencies in this regard, we ask that, as a matter of urgency, an accord be reached which would enable such provision to be made. We are especially conscious of the perilous situation faced by the Christian church in Gaza, and we pray for those who in their suffering continue to bear witness to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. We urge the United Kingdom Government to recognise the State of Palestine and call upon the Government to now fulfil its stated intention to do so, and thereafter to join the international community in seeking to establish a viable State within Gaza and the West Bank. We recall that the Vatican recognised the State of Palestine in May 2015 and we join with all those who affirm the right of self-determination by the Palestinian people. Signatories Bishop John Keenan, President, Catholic Bishops' Conference of Scotland Rt Rev Rosie Frew, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland

May the God, whose love lasts a lifetime, be with you. May the resurrection power of Christ, turn your mourning to dancing. May the Spirit who breathed life into dust, cause you to sing a new song. The blessing of God, our faithful deliverer, be yours this day. Amen.

For those on the frontline of climate change who have no bread because we have eaten it, we pray: may we be inspired to confound the acts of the privileged, recognising when that privilege belongs to us.
