Over the past few weeks there has been some real heartache across the community of Chilwell and Beeston. There have been 2 needless deaths where people have felt like they have had no hope. As a response to these events NYfC alongside the local Church, held a prayer vigil overnight last Wednesday. Please find below some of the prayers and thoughts from that vigil.
Jesus taught them:
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth
It is hard enough to handle when you have a faith, how do those people cope that don't. People may not have to talk to someone but they must have the opportunity.
Psalm 20: May the Lord answer you when you are in distress, may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
Isaiah 41:10: fear of the future and the hugeness of emotion won't overwhelm - God will strengthen you.
We pray that through the pain and sorrow there will only be one way they will turn. There is only one who can truly comfort the huge sorrow that is being felt.
You saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul. i trust in you Lord, I say 'you are my God' - Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.
Oh my Jesus, be with these young people, show them your compassion, your love and your understanding. We know they can have no realisation of what this all means. Nobody knows what really happened to these 2 unfortunate souls. We can only trust they are with you and all sins are forgiven. Please be with the family and friends. Give them comfort.
Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for i am with you: do not be dismayed, for i am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. We hold this vigil, Lord, not only to mourn these 2 lost souls, who met such a tragic death, but also to pray for those that they left especially the young friends who must be suffering from shock. maybe some feel they are to blame in some way. Help them Lord, be with them. Shine a light on them Lord, show them the way to enlightenment.
James 5:16a-18
"The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops. "
I pray with you for God's blessing on this town and its people
Praying comfort for the famiies and friends in their great sadness, God's presence in the memorial service and that the young people of Beeston and our city would know the love of Jesus.
Praying here in Sheffield for Chilwell and Beeston at this time. Real sense of everyone praying from their rooftops, calling out to God and his angels enveloping the whole town. Keep standing together in prayer.
May God be with you. Turn to him and he will comfort you. He loves you and cherishes you.
Praying for young people of chilwell and beeston that they will know they are loved and have a purpose
Praying for all the family and friends of both Chloe and Daniel. That somehow and somewhere they will find a God who can comfort.
