Let us pray,
Lord God, in the Precious Name of Jesus, we unite here to offer to You our love, our praise and our gratitude for all that YOU have done in us, through us and with us.
I now acknowledge that YOU ARE my God and my Savior! You came to me, when I knew You not! You accepted me, just as I was! You have sustained me every step of the way, if I but permitted. YOU are always there when the road I must travel becomes too difficult - IF I but turn to You, You answer, perhaps not always as I would have it, but as YOU know is best for me!
We now pray for all the women of the world, Lord, and for their Families. We ask, if it be Your Will, that YOU touch each person who comes to this Service in a way that meets her individual needs.
Lord, this IS a Women's Ministry, and directed to and for Women, but our hearts also reach out to the men and boys, particularly those who are in any way connected with each of us present in this Service. These men and boys DO carry a heavy load and we women may not always understand. We pray for their individual needs. If they do not yet know You, we ask that You open their blinded eyes. Bless each individual in the way which only You can know is best for that person. According to Your Wisdom, and Your Will, bring peace to those individuals who walk alone, both male and female.
We ask for Your Love and your leadership especially for all those single Moms who carry the double load as father and mother, and Yes, Lord, even often a triple load as father, mother and sole-provider of basic needs. Bless ALL for whom we now pray, in the way that You alone know is best.
In closing, we pray for this Church and for this Women's Ministry. We ask for Your guidance, Your direction, Your strength and Your special Blessing on each person here today for this Service.
We give You thanks, Lord! So often You answer even before we call, We ask all this in the Precious NAME of JESUS!
AMEN.
