Lord, hear our prayer:

Father, we pray for any who are finding that the pressures and stress they face each day mean that their joy in living in your world is simply being drained away; for those who use their skills of writing, singing, painting or performing to draw others closer to you; for scientists whose discoveries provide us with even more reasons to worship you as our Creator. In the name of your Son, who is the Word that gives knowledge and understanding, we ask you to hear us.

Amen.
