Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever his faithfulness continues through all generations.
(Psalm 100: 1-2, 5, NIV) Even in the midst of their hurt, poverty and tragedy, we believe God is always present for the world’s vulnerable children, with His enduring, immeasurable love and compassion. As we join together for the 2018 World Weekend of Prayer, let us do so with an attitude of praise, not forgetting God’s goodness and faithfulness. Praising God helps us remember what He has done in the past, see how He is at work now, even in the tough places, and trust that He will shape the lives of generations to come. How marvellous that our God’s power and our answered prayers today will ripple throughout the years! We’ll be developing resources for WWP18 in the coming months, including a:
· photocopiable prayer book including specific Bible verses, prayers and child-friendly activities
· collection of short videos giving examples of what children and leaders in our partner networks are most thankful to God for, plus answers to prayer that they see.
· thankfulness diary for May
· sketch and sermon outline/reflection They will be made available, in due course, through the website www.worldweekendofprayer.com
