World Day of Prayer

Reflection

“For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.” –Jeremiah 29:11

Prayer

Hope of the Nations,

We are glad to join our voices with women and men around the world today, leading us in prayer and thanksgiving. Inspired by the words from your prophet, we trust ourselves again to your promise of a hope-filled future. Your grace is sufficient for all our weakness, but it has still not been easy these past few years. Hopes and plans have been dashed and our deepest longings have been deferred. We ask you this day to renew us again, as one people united in prayer. Revive our shared sense of hope for what lies ahead. Amen.

Call to Action

Where does my hope in the future come from? Take time today, to connect again with my sense
of hope.
