SHREWSBURY STREET PASTORS

CHURCH IN ACTION ON THE STREETS

PRAYER DIARY (no 13)
SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER & NOVEMBER 2025

... take it to the Lord in prayer"
This prayer diary initiative joins with the Prayer Buddies, the Prayer Pastors and the nightly Prayer Supporters in building up the wonderful structure of prayer that underpins Shrewsbury Street Pastors.

1 Pray for new recruits, and those still waiting for clearance to begin training
2 SP Shrewsbury is going through a time of transition. Pray for Steve, the trustees and all the SPs.
3 Remember all who keep our town safe: fire service, police, hospital staff, etc
4 One new SP has begun shifts; the others who were on board have yet to begin training - checks and refs can take up to 6 months.
5 Pray for all those who volunteer at the hospital and hospice and give thanks for them
6 Team Shrewsbury (google for list of agencies) continues good working liaison.
7 Pray for all the young people who are making/have made the transition to new places for education, for God to keep them on track.
8 Quote: "The safety of our town has been greatly enhanced by the work of the SPs and we are so grateful that they play an active part in this". A senior police officer.
9 Give thanks for our beautiful river and pray for wise behaviour near it late at night
10 Remember all who have mental stress, and ask that they may, somehow, meet with the God who loves them.

11 Pray for Alex Wagner, our mayor (also deputy mayor of Shropshire Council), whose aim is to "keep our town as safe as possible" so ...
12 ... he has espoused SP as his charity and also the West Mercia Search and Rescue" agency. Pray for those involved in this who might be taking risks in order to safe others.
13 Pray for all young people who have left full time education but cannot find employment.
14 Pray for all church leaders, that they may listen for guidance in leading their congregations
15 Pray especially for all ambulance crews that they may be protected from all who might think of abusing them
16 SP trustees: they need prayer for important decisions, taking the charity forward.
17 The donkey is still in need of a new driver - the driver need not be a regular church-goer, but needs to support the Christian ethos of the charity.
18 Keep Illuminate in your prayers as Toby settles in as manager (and don't forget to shop there!)
19 Give thank for the Food Hub whose aim is to save food being wasted. And thank God for the commitment of volunteers who enable this to happen
20 May all Christians who find themselves in disagreement be able to disagree well and graciously.

21 Emma (SP fundraising post) has found some new funding and keeps seeking.
22 Hospital: pray for all who work under extreme pressure in A&E, especially when they are tired
23 Harriet is using Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram to seek volunteers & finance, and to foster better understanding of the work of SPs
24 Pray for the health and well-being of all the SP team. And their energy levels, too.
25 SP trustees: there are 2 vacancies (at time of writing - late August). Are you someone who can make an active contribution in order to move the project forward?
26 Sept: remember all children who are changing schools. Oct+Nov: pray over Halloween preparations, celebrations and aftermath. May we all be openly honest about the Christian message inour conversations.
27 Pray for lonely and isolated people in our town; these are often elderly people.
28 Remember Christians who work in places where the gospel, and Christian beliefs, are unwelcome
29 -30 This diary brings us nearer to the Christmas period. Pray for the message to be clear in the midst of preparations and plans. Remember families who do not have as much money as they would wish.
