Thy Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven
‘So we make it our aim to please him whether we are at home in the body or away from it’
(2 Corinthians 5:9)
Jesus is our Lord, our king. Our aim in life in this world and the next, is to please him by doing his will.
In that way his kingdom is already here; and yet we are also waiting for him to return
and then we will see the kingdom in all its glory. Our prayer is, that even before he returns,
the Lord’s commands will be obeyed everywhere. One of the wonderful things about the Mothers Union
is that we know that all around the world there are women in fellowship with each other,
praying for each other, and seeking to please the same Lord.
Already we see, in part at least, the answer to the prayer that Jesus taught us.
Question for thought: Is the aim of my life to please the Lord?
Gracious Lord, we pray for members in Nigeria particularly the Dioceses of Oru,
Oleh and Okene and Ibadan-South. Protect them from persecution and give them courage
to stand firm in their faith in you in these difficult times.
We give thanks for our members in Central Queensland (Rockhampton) and ask
that Mothers Union functions are well attended and members enjoy a great fellowship. Amen.
