Prayer in Times of Upheaval

It is possible today that you find yourself not knowing how to pray.

Not knowing what to do to help God’s kingdom come.

This guide has been created to try to help you. We hope this guide will help you find the words to talk to God, as one friend speaks to another about this desperate situation arising in the world.

Take a moment to set the scene of what it is we are praying for…

Notice how you are reacting in this moment as you reflect on recent events…

Perhaps one thing from the news stands out to you…

Whatever arises, know that God holds you in this moment in love…

Have you been able to speak to Jesus about how you feel and what you’ve been thinking or are you too confused to do so?

If there is confusion for you, you might find it helpful to identify one emotion surfacing for you above the rest.

Perhaps anger…or sadness… despair… confusion…or desperation…

How would you like to offer this to God?
