Have you ever found yourself struggling with prayer? You're not alone.
Many of us face challenges when it comes to praying, whether it's finding the right words or understanding how to pray for others.
To help us pray for one another, we’re introducing a simple initiative for 2024-25. Each term, we’ll focus on a specific prayer from the New Testament and use it to pray for women in our church community.
Here’s the plan:
Autumn Term, Ephesians 1:15-23
Spring Term, Philippians 1:3-11
Summer Term, Colossians 1:9-14
Every Monday, from 9 September to 2 December (excluding half-term), we’ll share the names of six women in our WhatsApp group. You’re invited to pray through the chosen prayer for these women - whether all on one day or one each day. It only takes a few minutes!
For example, you might pray:
“Lord, I pray for _______ . I don’t know all that’s going on in her life, but I thank you that you do. I pray that she will be ‘strengthened with all power’ so that she ‘may have great endurance and patience.’” (Colossians 1)
By the end of the term, we’ll have prayed for many women across our church, we’ll have been strengthened in our own prayer lives, and we’ll have memorised some powerful Scripture.
We’re excited to see how God will use this time of prayer to bless and unite us. What do you think? Will you join us?
Elaine, Kath & Sarah
