For the Women of Our World

O gracious Lord, we humbly pray for the women of the world today.

Born of different colors and creeds, we share the same concern and needs.

Lord, lift our heads and dry our tears, as you strengthen us and calm our fears.

Comfort those who, on bended knee, seek a life where all live free.

We pray for ourselves as well as others, as we pray for the future of children and mothers.

Amen.
