How you can Pray for ABM and our partners

ABM’s 175th Anniversary Prayer

Loving God,
Friend of this ancient and beautiful land;
land we call home, land that calls us home.
Bless the Anglican Board of Mission
as we participate in your healing work.
We honour our history.
We repent of our failings.
We commit to your future.
May we nurture relationships of love.
May we craft stories of hope.
May we contribute to communities of justice.
Grant us the wisdom to hear your voice,
the courage to follow where you lead,
the humility to listen to those we encounter.
May we be blessed by those we Partner with,
and be a blessing to them.
We ask these things in the names of the three that are one.
Creator, Redeemer, Companion.

Amen.

Prayer for the Anglican Board of Mission

God of all,
bless the Anglican Board of Mission
as it serves the Church in Australia
and our partner churches overseas.

Inspire its work and its vision
that all may come to know your justice,
your peace and your love;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

(A Prayer Book for Australia, p 214)

Praying for Love, Hope and Justice – ABM’s new prayer resource

Welcome to ABM’s new prayer resource, Praying for Love, Hope and Justice, a companion prayer diary to Love, Hope and Justice in Action.

Download

As we continue to walk alongside our partners in Australia and across the Anglican Communion, prayer remains at the heart of our shared mission. This prayer diary is designed to help you hold ABM’s partners, programs, and staff in prayer throughout the year.

Within its pages, you will find prayers inspired by the stories, challenges, and hopes of our partners. These prayers reflect our commitment to seeking justice, nurturing hope, and embodying Christ’s love in practical ways. They invite us to pause, reflect, and bring before God the people and communities who faithfully strive for transformation and dignity.

The prayer diary can be used on its own, or as a companion to Love, Hope and Justice in Action. For your convenience, it includes the Anglican Church of Australia’s Prayer Cycle, enabling you to pray for Anglican dioceses and ministries around the country.

Together, these prayers form a rhythm that connects us more deeply—to God, to each other, and to the global body of Christ.

Thank you for your ongoing support for ABM’s mission. Your generosity, compassion, and prayers sustain our work every day. My hope is that this prayer companion enriches your spiritual journey and strengthens our shared commitment to seeing God’s justice and love flourish in the world.
