Wave of Prayer – Connor Mothers' Union

Mothers’ Union expresses its Christian identity through its life of prayer and worship. It is this spiritual life together which underpins our work with families and communities. Every day a wave of prayer goes around the world as members stop and pray in the middle of the day to pray for the work of the Mothers’ Union and international issues. These daily prayers follow an annual pattern which means that every Mothers’ Union region is prayed for at least once during the year.

Please join us in prayer for the Mothers’ Union’s work around the world. Below is a calendar for the current month with the places we are asking for prayers for.

Monthly Prayer

The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.’ Luke 4:18-19 (NIV)

As we focus on prison ministry, we pray that we too would respond to Jesus’ call. We give thanks for the Mothers’ Union members who support prisoners, their families and later when the sentence ends, help them establish new beginnings.

Final Blessing

May God give us light to guide us when we cannot see His way, courage to support us when we are afraid, and love to unite us all, His children, now and evermore. Amen
