From the Baptist Union - A prayer on the occasion of the Coronation- 6 May 2023
Living and Almighty God,
On the occasion of the coronation,
we pray for King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
As they commit themselves to ongoing lives of service may they lean on you for wisdom, grace, humility and strength.
May they sense your presence with them, guiding and moulding them as they seek
to fulfil the duties of the monarchy.
In this moment, may we too recommit ourselves to lives of sacrificial service to one another,
to the communities to which we are called,
but above all to you,
the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords,
and to the realisation of your coming Kingdom, on earth as it is in heaven.
So bless King Charles III and Queen Camilla today
and bless us too so that we all might be a blessing to others.
In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
