PRAYER WALL
Under normal circumstances, we regularly pray for people at our services, and St Stephen’s is often open during the week for anyone to drop in to pray, or to be prayed for. However, as all our buildings are currently closed, and our services have moved online, we have instead set up this virtual prayer wall.
If you would like to pray, or like us to pray for you or someone you know, please submit your prayer request below.
(please note, when you press submit they won’t appear on the wall immediately, as they will first go to one of our prayer team).

Lord Jesus Christ
May your day be surrounded
By peace and everlasting love
And may you smile so bright
And feel the Lord Jesus Christ
Touching your heart with his
Everlasting love in your life
Amen Lord Jesus Christ. -
My daughter Amy is due to have a 4th ankle operation
Would value prayer for our lovely girl. She broke her ankle 4 years ago and what should have been a simple fix has since entailed 3 further ops with possibly a few more once the new surgeon has decided why previous ops have not worked - the next one, with the new surgeon, will be on 6 September. She is completely exhausted with the anxiety of it - currently has ongoing pain and sometimes cannot walk. Please pray for her acceptance of whatever the outcome may be. Thank you
With God's Blessings

Relationship Restorations
Pray for me and my relationship with this girl. We have talked for some time, but the enemy has come for her and is attacking her mind. She is struggling to see her value and is pushing people away including me, as a defense mechanism. The enemy is trying to isolate her and tear her down even more. I know she has some family issues going on on top of everything too. She does not have many people in her life who are for her so please help me fight for her and with her. Pray for healing mentally, physically, spiritually, in her family relationships, and in our romantic relationship. I just want to help her however I can and I am asking you to pray with me on this. Thank you. John 14:13-14.

Doubt and Losing Faith
I feel so distance to my faith and I'm probably at the wrong place to talk about this, I didn't grow up in a household that would openly talk about our beliefs. I feel like my prayers aren't being answered or that I'm not praying right. I feel uneducated but as a 21 year old, I feel I'm too late. My job is amazing but today feels like it was a bad day, I'm scared I'm doing a bad job and may end up doing my colleague's work for them. I have so many anxieties and fears and I feel it makes me a bad person and Christian. Due to the current circumstances, my boyfriend is living with me and my parents. I feel like this is a sin and I don't know what else to do. I just feel lost
