"It remains to be seen whether this Budget, and the story told around it, can convince people that our current politics can deliver the changes that people long to see. But we can and should celebrate the changes it will mean for hundreds of thousands of children currently living in poverty."

We pray for those who lead
that they would make wise and compassionate decisions
guided by principle rather than political expediency.
May we keep loving our neighbours – all our neighbours –
even when that is costly or unpopular
and be agents of your healing, and peace, and hope.
Amen.

and those who have been waiting a long time for good news.
Be with all who are fearful or angry
because of the treatment they have received
and communities struggling with poverty and inadequate services.

God of welcome
you call us to love our neighbours as ourselves
and show your care for those who are most vulnerable.
We hold before you today
those forced to make dangerous journeys in search of safety
children separated from their families
