Prayers for Women
Opening Prayer
(suitable for Women's fellowship, bible study or meeting)We come together to give you honour and praise. We ask that you would help us to draw close to you. Please come and speak your words of wisdom into our lives.
Help us to embrace one another, our similarities, our differences, our concerns and our joys. We long for your touch on our lives, that we might be your hands and feet to the world. Inspire our hearts, heal our wounds, bring your peace into our worries and your hope into our disappointments.
Come Lord and weave your love into our fellowship together, that we may overflow with grace and allow your truth to light up our lives anew.
Amen.

An Beautiful Closing Prayer
"May The Road Rise Up To Meet You" is an ancient Irish blessing:-
You walk beside us
(An inspirational prayer for women)
Dear Lord,
You walk beside us, each moment of each day.
You know us by name, see each joy and sorrow.
You created within us a gentle capacity to love and nurture.
You gave us understanding and patience in a troubled world.
You laid upon us the responsibility to carry and care for new life.
You released us to run and dance, to sing and create.
You crafted in us sharp minds that are able to solve problems and see possibilities.
You desire each of us to live life to the full, embracing your love for us and extending grace to others.
You gave your life so that we could walk free to build your kingdom on earth as in heaven.
We lay our lives before you and trust in your unfailing love.
Guide us,
Heal us,
Touch us,
And lead us,
To reflect more and more of you life within our own.
Amen.
