Our 16 days of activism takes place from 25th November – 10th December. The Mothers’ Union is dedicated to supporting those affected by violence and abuse.
16 Days of Activism: 25th November – 10th December
Lord Jesus,
we pray for all to follow your example
of treating men, women and children
with equality and respect.
We pray for all who live
in fear of violence and despair that life will ever change.
Bring to an end their suffering;
restore their sense of worth.
We pray for those who perpetrate abuse
with no sense of guilt or shame.
Bring to justice their actions;
change their inner hearts.
We pray against regimes
that endorse violence.
Shatter their evil influence;
initiate a rule of decency.
Loving Lord,
we pray for a better world
where we may walk in the shoes of love, justice and peace.
Amen
Forgive us Lord when we hear neither your plea,
nor the cries of your people.
Free us Lord from the fears that bind us,
or from any sense of powerlessness.
Fill us Lord with your dream of a just world
and the tenacity to keep going in playing our part,
in your name, Amen (Maggie Lunan)
