Prayer and reflection for April

 

In April we are reminded of God's love for us, with prayers from the Mothers' Union prayer diary.

 

 

We pray:

God of love, in silence and in speaking, we worship You. 

You are the very breath of our lives; You are the promise of renewal; You are the offer of forgivenness; You are the flame of inspiration; You are the wind of challenging change.

Renew, forgive, inspire and challenge us, and fit us for Your service: in Jesus' name,

Amen.

 

Creative prayer:

When you make anything - a garment, a piece of lace, a quilt - the fabric and thread used is measured out. How different with God's love for us - we struggle to grasp how wide and long, how deep and high His love is. It is infinite. As you measure out fabric or wind thread onto bobbins, thank God for His unmeasurable love, and as the item is made, think of the people who are going to use it and pray that they may know God's love and the extent of it.
