Anglican Mothers Union Australia

MU Thought for the Week

The theme for each week is taken from the Mothers Union Worldwide Prayer Diary
​and included is a prayer for a country from the Wave of Prayer for that week. 
Thought for the week from Mothers Union Australia
Sunday 24th September, 2023
Safety and Security

‘Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?’ (Matthew 6:26)

I love an old hymn which goes ‘His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me.’ That is inspired by what Jesus says here. God feeds the smallest birds – how much more will he care for us. Of course, there is pain and trouble and suffering in this world. Did not Jesus experience this himself? But when we trust ourselves to God, we know that in the end he will use all this for our good and that he will bring us to glory. In the meantime, he never leaves us or forgets us. Of that we may be sure.

Question for thought: Am I trusting God?
​
We praise you Lord of all for those trusting in Christ in DR Congo. May they be beacons of hope in communities facing immense pressures and difficulties. We pray for their outreach activities of trauma counselling and peace in reconciliation workshops. May they know the peace that can be found in forgiveness through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Amen    

​"Sharing Christ's love by encouraging, strengthening, and supporting marriage and family life."
