Praying
‘Be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people’
(Ephesians 6:18)
One of the most wonderful things about the Mothers Union is the Wave of Prayer.
We sometimes forget what a privilege it is to address our heavenly Father in prayer,
and how powerful prayer is. This is especially important when we feel weak and helpless,
because God is powerful – he sees and knows and rules all things.
Even if we are sick or a long way from people and ignorant of what life is like for them,
our prayers still matter. Even if we have prayed for a child for many years, we never give up,
because God does all things in his best time in accordance with his wisdom.
Thank God for Mothers Union and for its commitment to prayer.
Question for thought: Am I trusting that the Lord hears my prayers?
Gracious Lord, we pray for the over 8,000 members in the Diocese of Madi and West Nile in Uganda
and thank you for their commitment to you. We pray as they serve their community by teaching women
leaders, encouraging Bible study and running parenting courses, as well as caring for refugee women.
We ask that your Spirit will guide them in doing the good works you have prepared for them to walk in. Amen
