Prayers written by Mothers' Union Members and brought to the Diocesan Festival Services at Southwark Cathedral, May 1999

Prayers are the stairs to God.
Prayers are the stairs we must climb every day,
if we would reach God.
There is no other way, for we learn to know God
when we meet him in prayer,
and ask him to lighten our burden of care.
Holy Saviour, Croydon

Lord, I offer my daily life with my children as a prayer for all the children of the world, especially those who are unloved, abused, starving, lonely, bullied, orphaned or afraid.

Lord, I offer my struggle with the demands of parenthood as a prayer for all parents.

Lord, I offer my delight in my children as a prayer for childless couples, bereaved parents, single parents who ache for someone to share the load, adopted children who have been told the truth too late, women who have had abortions, aborted babies, as well as for all the secure and happy children. Amen.
St Barnabas, Sutton

We thank you, Lord, for everything:
for your various works of creation
for our lives
for the past,
the present
and the future.
Praised be your holy name!
The Church of the Ascension, Balham Hill
