Prayer & News 2025

Today, I pray for more volunteers to serve with CYM, helping us share the gospel creatively with everyone we support in our ministry and outreach.

This time next week, we celebrate Christmas with Home Educated young people. Please pray for a joyful, meaningful gathering that blesses all who attend.

I’ve been challenged to consider how I am salt and light in the world. Please pray God reveals new opportunities for me to shine and make a difference.

I encourage you to thank God today for His ongoing faithfulness, which inspires and motivates us as we look ahead to all that the coming year holds.

As term ends, pray students and staff finish well, and that School Chaplains receive the rest and refreshment they truly deserve.

Christmas can easily lose focus on Christ. Pray for opportunities and courage for us all to share the true story of Christmas with those around us.

Christmas invites boldness in sharing faith. Let’s pray for courage to invite others to church, especially those who don’t usually attend.

This year, I’m praying for those who have experienced loss. May God’s all-surpassing peace comfort them during what can be a difficult Christmas season.

Many of us in the office will take time off over Christmas. Please pray we rest and recuperate well, returning with renewed energy for the new year.

Thank God for a good first half term, with staff and students settling well. Pray especially for lonely students, that new friendships would form and flourish.

Pray for students and staff facing challenges this Christmas—whether health, financial, or family-related—that they would find peace, comfort, and hope in Jesus.

Thank God for students showing interest in God and Jesus. Pray that this curiosity grows into a deep, lasting relationship with Christ.

College can feel overwhelming and vast. Pray God directs my steps daily and leads me to those who need encouragement, support, and love.

Pray for the Christian Union—that students’ faith grows. As we seek to be more missional, may God guide us boldly in the right direction.

Please join me in thanking God for His provision this term. We ask for His help to finish the term well.

As we approach the Christmas break, we ask for God’s protection over all students and families within the Raedwald Trust.

As we reflect on the past year, help us recognise God’s blessings and pray others will see His goodness too.

God, please provide me opportunities to show Your love, peace, and joy to everyone I meet, sparking conversations about You.

This can be a difficult season for our students. Join me in praying for God’s blessing over staff, students, and families during the holidays.
