Read / Collapse the full prayer
Most gracious and mighty God,
we come before You with hearts overflowing in gratitude.
Thank You for meeting us in this place today.
Thank You for every prayer lifted,
every song sung,
every word spoken,
and every heart touched by Your presence.

Lord, we stand in awe of Your power—
power that heals, restores, strengthens, and sustains.
We thank You for the power that has carried this Women’s Ministry
for 84 blessed years,
and for the power that will carry us forward
with purpose, unity, and joy.

Father, we lift up praise to Your holy name.
Praise for who You are.
Praise for what You have done.
Praise for what You are yet to reveal.
Let our lives be living testimonies
of praise and prayer working together
to bring You glory.

And God, we offer gratitude—
gratitude for this fellowship,
gratitude for every woman present,
gratitude for the legacy we stand on,
and gratitude for the journey ahead.
Thank You for the bonds of sisterhood
and the blessings You have poured out in this gathering.

As we prepare to leave this place,
but never Your presence,
cover us with Your protection,
guide us with Your wisdom,
and fill us with Your peace.
Let Your power go before us,
let Your praise rise within us,
and let gratitude anchor our hearts
until we meet again.

We seal this prayer
in the strong, matchless,
and mighty name of Jesus Christ,
our Lord and Savior.
Amen.

— Rev. Julie Vaughn, D.Min, M.Div, MACE, MA, D.Be, BCC
