I pray again for my friend, everyone is healthy now but she suffers from anxiety after two months of intense stress. I pray that everyone in her family may help each other showing love and smiling, to dissipate the fear they suffered.
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).

Praise God
First praise God, and a big thank to all who have been praying for me. bing stuck indoors since Friday, not being able to walk was a problem, because I have Osteoporosis it is important that I walk. The reason for praise is that my doctor has said, although I can't go to shops etc, I can go for a walk as long as I have distance between me and others. I live near the castle and the sportsground so this is an added blessing. Thank you God

Prayer for Barnes Lodge
Mum is a resident in Barnes Lodge. I had a 'phone call today to say they have their first confirmed case of C19. Currently on a 12 week lockdown residents are now isolated to their
rooms. Staff are working under such unprecedented pressures - would value prayer for residents and staff. I have emailed our MP to liaise with the home and ensure protective equipment arrives in a timely manner, especially with this new update. Thank you. Best Wishes and stay safe. -
health
Today (10/4) I have received a letter from NHS telling me that I mut stay indoors for the next 12 weeks from today. I am reeling from shock, my health has been stable for the last 9 years but I do have an underlying lung problem. upto now I have been getting my own shopping and taking a walk once a day. to have to stay in (I live in a flat) is causing me a little anxiety. Please pray for peace. I normally live alone so most of it will be ok but I normally also go out and see people and at present speak to someone albeit from a distance. not being able to do this will be very hard.

Prayer request for my cousin
Please pray for our cousin Gemma, currently very ill in hospital with Covid 19 and a very bad chest infection. She is in a very high at risk group due to having brittle asthma which in itself has admitted her to hospital many times over the year. Please pray for Gods strength and healing for her, a release from any fear, and for God to use the nurses and doctors as his ministering angels of comfort in her time of great need. Through God who can do all things, AMEN

for prayer warriors everywhere
Lord, we ask for your blessing, wisdom and encouragement for all those at St Stephen's (and all over the nation) who are supporting neighbours, relatives and friends in prayer, through online streaming of services, or through practical help. Thank you for their willingness to serve. Give them strength to remain positive, keep them well, and pour out your Spirit on them as they seek to serve others who are struggling. Let them know your love for them as they continue to offer help, often even when they are weary themselves. In your precious name, Amen.
