Blessing

A Prayer for the Community

A Christianity prayer for blessing. Attributed to Sacred Lens Original.

Creator of all people,

Bless the community in which we live.

Strengthen our schools, churches, hospitals, charities, neighbourhoods, and all the places where people gather to serve one another. Bless those who work quietly for the good of others and those whose kindness is rarely recognised.

Bring neighbours together across differences and help us notice those who are isolated, struggling, or forgotten.

May we build a community where children are protected, older people are valued, families are supported, strangers are welcomed, and those facing hardship are never left to carry their burdens alone.

Amen.
