Rejoicing and giving thanks and praying in place




Dear Family of Love and Pilgrims on Our Journey.

Tonight I had an important conference call and needed to stay home lead the call. So we pray in place as we always do when something comes up. 


Dear Lord We rejoice and give thanks for our family members and the joy and their wonderful gifts that you have given them. May we always give thanks and rejoice in our family members' blessings as they are our blessings too.

We pray for all those who continue to battle illnesses of any kind especially the elderly and the very young.

We pray for solace and comfort for all those who grieving the loss of loved ones this day and those who continue to travel grief's long journey into light.

We pray for those beset by strange weather patterns especially those who live and  work in the dark and cold climes. We pray for rain to heal our parched Western regions.

We pray that we may listen to our President's State of the Union with fresh ears and compassionate hearts and  for ways in which we may serve and step up to help.

We Give thanks for the little things that brighten our days and warm our hearts.

We pray that we all may be beacons of hope, joy, love, and peace and that there may be an end to hate and indifference.

We pray that we recognize each one of our family members as equal and on the same footing as we are. Lord in your kingdom we are all one!

We pray for sensitivity when we see and hear something that we don't understand and that you will guide us to see and hear with clear vision.

We pray and remember those who perished in the the Holocaust on this International Holocaust Remembrance Day. 

We Give thanks for God's Cathedral of Life. May we all be good stewards of the world that you have loaned to us and remember it forever belongs to you!

Lord open our hearts up to new possibilities to serve, minister, and spread your Good news throughout your world. May we always be loving when we do this.

Lord forgive us if we have done something amiss this day and help us to let go of the things that do not build up your kingdom or foster loving and compassionate hearts. help us to turn off the grinding, gnawing, and tenseness in our minds.
