Prayer for the month

Prayer for January

Our prayer for January is taken from the MU Prayer Diary on the theme of Unity in Diversity:

Father, grant us grace to dwell and grow in the knowledge of your love for all people and nations, and in all circumstances.

We lift our voices in praise and thanksgiving for the beautiful tapestry of diversity woven into the fabric of unity.

In the kaleidoscope of cultures, languages and traditions, we see your boundless creativity and love.

Help us to embrace diversity with open hearts, celebrating the unique gifts each individual brings.

Amen.

Our reflection, from the MU Prayer Diary:

In January we celebrate the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. Very often unity is seen as working hard to be the same as everyone else, We are all unique, created that way by our Heavenly Father. We all have different cultures and experiences and approach worship in different ways, but we worship the same God who loves us and died for us on the cross. As we begin a new year, with all that it will bring, let us be united in prayer and worship and step forth together in faith.
