Forty days of prayer

Forty days of prayer have been announced by Friends United Meeting

Quakers are being urged to take part in ‘Forty Days of Prayer for the Future of Friends’, which has been announced by Friends United Meeting (FUM).  FUM has announced a program designed to gather all its members around the world in prayer conversation and discernment. The program began on 10 October and runs until 18 November.

Forty days of prayer is a devotional program to be read and experienced together in both small groups and as a world wide community. It includes daily meditations, queries upon which to reflect, action steps to consider and a suggested focus for prayer.

FUM general secretary Colin Saxon said: ‘Can you imagine thousands of Quakers all around the world joined in prayer, reflection, discussion and action for forty consecutive days? What could God possibly do in and through us in that time? What expression of renewal could be realised? Let’s find out together.’

Colin said that Friends from around the world are feeling the stirrings of renewal at work in them, seeking to be expressed through them. The inner voice of the Holy Spirit is calling them to a deeper place and a more complete and transforming immersion into the life and power of God.
