Thought for the Week from AMUA
Sunday, June 28, 2026
The Apostle Peter
The Lord turned and looked straight at Jesus’ (Luke 22:61)
The name Peter means ‘rock’, the rock you can rely on. But when Peter is put to the test, he was weak. He had sworn to stay with Jesus. But now, three times, he disowns Jesus and refuses to stand by him. It must have been awful to be know that Jesus, fully aware of Peter’s sin, had turned to look at him. No wonder he went outside and wept. And yet, after the resurrection, Peter is forgiven and restored. It is not surprising that having been treated with such love, he becomes the one leading Apostles and even gives up his life for the sake of the Lord. This is the power of repentance and forgiveness, blessed by the Spirit of God.
Question for thought: How am I like Peter?
Almighty God, we thank you for the 150 years of Mothers Union. We especially give thanks for the vision of Mary Sumner in bringing women together who trust in you to support one another and strengthen marriage and Christian family life. Amen.

A father’s love
'But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him’ (Luke 15:20).
The father in the parable of the prodigal son reveals what God is like. Jesus had been criticised for eating with the people whose lives were sinful. He was welcoming them. Welcoming them as repentant and people who received the forgiveness they needed. The son in his story makes a complete mess of his life because of sin. But as he comes home full of repentance, his father does something that no father in those days would do. He runs to him, embraces him, kissing him, welcomes him home and restores him as his son. That is the love of God in its grace and glory.
Question for thought: Do I know the love of God?
Loving Lord, sometimes it’s hard to keep trusting you when faced with constant strife and persecution. We pray for our sisters in the Dioceses of Kabba and Bukuru in Nigeria. Keep them faithful and steadfast as they support the communities in which they live. Protect them from danger we pray. We also pray for the Diocese of Adelaide and for Rev. Dr Gethzi Devasagayam as she leads members there. Amen.

Refugees and displaced people
'So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt’ (Matthew 2:13).
I have several friends who were refugees from terror. Their stories are heart- rending, not least because the way in which families are separated perhaps permanently. Children are denied education; families are denied security; individuals are lonely. As we remember that Jesus’ parents had to flee their homeland and go to Egypt, it is astonishing to know that the Son of God himself was a refugee. It is also a reminder to us that we should also love and care for those who are in camps and those who have come among us, far from home. This is part of our Christian compassion, after the likeness of Christ.
Question for thought: Do I know of a Christian agency which supports refugees? Am I willing to help?
Gracious heavenly Father, we give thanks for the many faithful members in the New Guinea Islands in Papua New Guinea. Members are involved in literacy programs, health education, anti-violence campaigns, prison and hospital visits, and marriage counselling. May they share your love and compassion. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Sunday, June 7, 2026
Environment and Creation
'The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and take care of it’ (Genesis.2:15).
We were created as image bearers to rule the world under God. But this did not mean to abuse the world. The relationship was meant to be one of peace and productivity. After the human rebellion against God, the relationship changed, as sinful, self-centred people occupied the world, making up our own rules. The Bible says that the world is groaning as it also waits for the day when there will be a new heaven and earth. In the meantime, God’s people are to continue to respect and care for the creation, although we live in a world impacted by sin, and life can be very hard.
Question for thought: Do I see the hand of God in the creation?
God of all, our hearts are heavy when we think of the troubles in the world. Have mercy dear Lord and bring an end to the crises in the Middle East, Ukraine and Russia. Give our members in these areas courage and may they remember you are their comfort and strength and an ever-present help in trouble. We pray this week for members in Diocese of Mara, Tanzania and in Willochra, South Australia. May all they do bring in caring and supporting those in need bring honour and glory to you name. Amen.
