SOUL WEAVINGS: A Gathering of Women’s Prayers
As Christians, we are part of a vast community of believers, most of whom we will never meet. Yet, through their writings, women of other times, places, and cultures can become our companions, encouraging us to take risks, helping us to go on when the way is difficult, teaching us how to pray. Through these companions of the soul God “comes to meet us in the hardest hours,” “challenges us to change the world,” and helps us “to behold God in everything.”
Why use written prayer? A well-written prayer is like a picture, capturing a view of one person’s spiritual landscape. As with pictures, we will be drawn more to some than others. Some prayers will help us to identify how God is already present in us and in the world. Others will become a real encounter with God, transforming us and calling us to respond with our lives. Still others may reveal our longing for the relationships we would like to have with God, and with those around us. Certain prayers become favorite resting places for times when our resources are low; it is easier to accept our own struggles when we find that we are not alone.
Prayer books become like good friends, who sometimes comfort and sometimes challenge us. They connect us with “thoughts higher than our thoughts, prayers better than our prayers, and powers beyond our powers, that we may spend and be spent in the ways of love and goodness.”

The Pastor’s Kit includes everything needed to plan a six-week teaching series around the concepts presented in the Small Group Study. It includes:
Special video message for pastors
Video guide for implementing a church-wide program
