The
article submitted by Marion highlights the Women’s World day of
Prayer held on the first Friday of March every year.
I personally have been involved in our local committee for 25 years
& forged many lasting friendships across all denominations.
So we pray in advance with the women of Malaysia ‘Let
Justice Prevail’ –
‘Lord,
open our ears so that we may hear the cries of women in need all over the
world;
Lord,
open our eyes so that we may see the injustices endured by so many.
Lord
open our hearts so that we may help those in need, generously & with
compassion. Amen’
(Sandra Storch)
‘Give
me , Lord God, a vision of the world as your love would make it:
A
world where the weak are protected & none go hungry or poor;
A
world where the benefits of civilised life are shared & everyone can
enjoy them;
A
world where peace is built with justice, & justice is guided by love;
And
give me the inspiration & courage to share in the task of building it
through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.

And
we pray:
‘Help
me O Lord to see others with your eyes & forgive me that I have not
obeyed your commandment to love my neighbour as myself.
Come Lord Jesus afresh into my heart with your healing love for the
brokenness & unhappiness of the world.
Amen.
