Diocesan Prayer Diary: continuing to pray for the parishes of Lothingland Deanery (Lowestoft area). The Sunday prayer:-

Give us grace and courage to hope, and to risk disappointment.
Teach us to pray expectantly,
and when our prayers seem to fail, bring us to pray again and again;
for you are our God, who acts, and will act again.
Hear this prayer for your love’s sake.
