Today is Safeguarding Sunday, when thousands of churches from all traditions join together to celebrate the protection of all those who are vulnerable.
A Prayer for Safeguarding Sunday š
Loving and gracious God,
on this Safeguarding Sunday we hold before you all who have been harmed through abuse.
You see every story and every wound, and your heart grieves with those who suffer.
Ten years on from the Past Cases Review, we give thanks for progress made,
yet we remember those still struggling to heal.
Bring comfort, courage, and hope to all survivors, and surround them with your peace.
We pray for all who work in safeguarding;
for wisdom, compassion, and strength in their calling.
Help your Church to be a place of safety and truth,
where every voice is heard and every person valued.
Through your healing Spirit, make us instruments of love and renewal,
reflecting the light of Christ in all we do.
Amen.
