Prayer for September

Our prayer for September is taken from the MU Prayer Diary on the theme of seasons:

As the tides of time wash over the shores of my life,
bless me with the joy of living.
As I sift through the shifting sands of my years,
bless me with understanding.
As the seasons of budding and fruiting come and go,
bless me with a thankful spirit.

Amen

 

 

Our reflection, from the MU Prayer Diary:

For everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1 Is this a time to emphasise the Fifth Mark of Mission of the Anglican Communion? A time for the leaves of the trees to become the healing of the nations. Mothers’ Union has always engaged in the first four Marks of Mission. The 5th is less well known: To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth. What can we each do to treasure and safeguard God’s gift of creation for future generations and families?
