Baptist Women's World Day of Prayer

2025 represents the 75th anniversary of this global movement, and we praise God for this legacy of impact. We are focusing our hearts and minds on the theme "Living the Good News" taken from Luke 4:18-19.

In a world where many remain unreached with the Gospel, we have both an opportunity and a responsibility to live the Good News in our homes, churches, communities, and countries. Join with sisters and brothers worldwide on Monday, November 3, or a day of your choosing for this strategic time of prayer.

A Prayer for Peace

O God, save our shores from the weapons of death,

our lands from the things that deny our young ones love and freedom.

Let the seas of the Pacific Ocean carry messages of peace and goodwill.

Turn away from our midst any unkind and brutal practices.

Let each child swim and breathe the fresh air

that is filled by the Holy Spirit.

O Lord Jesus, bless all who are makers of that inner peace

that breaks down the barriers of hatred,

and unite us with the open arms of your cross,

that all the peoples of the world may live happily together.
