PRAYER DIARY FOR WOMEN IN THE DIOCESE OF PERTH
MOW PRAYER DIARY FOR THE DIOCESE OF PERTH
This diary recognises ordained Anglican women in the Diocese of Perth who seek prayerful support for their ministry. It includes women and men who have acted as prophets for ordained women; that is, people who supported the cause of ordination through their inspired teaching and leadership within the Diocese.
In compiling the list, advertisements were placed in the Diocese’s E Bulletin asking people to nominate prophets and seeking consent from the ordained women.
The diary is self-explanatory in that on the first day of the month we ask that you include the names of the people listed for that day, and then during the ensuing month proceed through to day 30. All names are listed in alphabetical order (except for the Bishops).
An “*” after the name denotes people who were nominated by others as prophets. When reading through the list you will find that many women who have asked for prayer in their role were also nominated by others as prophets.

Prayer for ourselves.
Author Elizabeth J. Smith AM
Holy Spirit, help me!
You know what I have been through, my body with its scars, my mind with its memories, my heart has been broken.
Give me courage to speak up at the right time, give me wisdom to keep quiet at the right time, give me friends to help me all the time.
Holy Spirit, please help me to understand the past to see a different future, to build a strong family, to be a woman of grace.
Holy Spirit, come and live inside for forever, and let the light shine in, let the healing happen, let the goodness grow. Amen.
