Episcopal Church Women’s Prayer

Almighty God, we pray that You will bless our work in mission and ministry in the world.

Help us to pray fervently, labor diligently and give liberally to make known the power of your love given through your son Jesus Christ.

Let us not forget the lessons from the past nor fear the challenges of the future. Anoint us with your grace and shine in our hearts as we reflect your light throughout the world. Amen.

Dios Omnipotente, oramos para que Tú bendigas nuestro trabajo en nuestra misión ministerial por el mundo.

Ayúdanos a orar fervientemente, laborar diligentemente y danos la libertad para que demos a conocer el poder de Tu amor a través de Tu Hijo Jesucristo.

No dejes que olvidemos las lecciones del pasado y los retos del futuro. Bendícenos con Tu gracia y que nuestros corazones reflejen Tu luz a través del mundo. Amen.
