  • Cycle of Prayer

    Please pray for: Spiritual Accompaniment

    If you are in any kind of ministry, it can be tremendously helpful to meet with someone on a regular basis who will travel with you on your journey of faith. Someone who will encourage you to pay attention to God. Someone who will challenge you to listen to what God might be saying and doing in your life and situation.
    Someone who will help you learn to pray. ‘Spiritual Direction’ as it is sometimes called, has a long history and is still vitally important for many today. It’s a costly commitment on both sides of the conversation but can be an extremely significant foundation for growth.
    In our diocese, we have a list of over 50 people who make themselves available for Spiritual Accompaniment. They see themselves as travelling companions ? recognising it is God who is the ‘director’. Pray for them as they meet with people and as they seek to develop their ministry. Pray too for the Diocesan Spirituality Group which is currently working on a new kind of training course, due to begin in January 2020.
    Pray for those who will lead the course and act as mentors and for those who will use it for training
