Dear Family of Love!
I hope all is well tonight. It is truly amazing what rest will do. My feet are healing up and I'm doing well. God is good. Tonight I would like each of us to write down what we are grateful for and make a copy of it and put it in various places in your house and maybe in your car. When things get stressful you can look at it and give the stresses and worries to God. As we are approaching the Jewish Sabbath let us be mindful of all the people in the Holy Land not just the Israelis. The Holy Land is a vast geographical area that will take you into Iraq where Christians and Women are being persecuted. We must pray for peace with intention for all the peoples in that area who are our family members. Tonight I want each of us to take time to pray the words of St. Francis of Assisi and pray each verse slowly:
Let us listen to the same prayer as sung by John Michael Talbot Lord Make Me an Instrument- John Michael Talbot
Lord Jesus, as we approach these days of Sabbath rest may we pray for peace in the world.
Jesus, give us the courage to become instruments of your peace and be "Lights of the World" and "The Salt of the Earth"
Jesus, grant us the wisdom to find out for ourselves the truth behind all the stories we read and see in social media and in the newscasts.
Jesus, we pray for the forgotten people in all the war torn areas of the world that our eyes may be opened and that we may have loving hearts to welcome them.
Jesus, give us we pray the energy to do the tasks no matter how large or how small you give us in service to you and in your Kingdom.
Jesus, we remember those who are on our hearts this night especially______________________
Jesus, protect all our family members around the world this night and 'Hide them under the shadow of your wings"
Jesus, keep reminding us that we are to be your hands, your feet, your voice, in the world. Give us by your example to never treat anyone as invisible.
Jesus, help us to be living and breathing Bibles by our love, compassion, mercy, words, deeds and remember the words of St. Francis of Assisi "Preach the Gospel always, if necessary use words!"
Jesus, we remember all of our vulnerable family members who are lonely, lost, refugees, homeless, hungry, and all the least of these. Help us to remember that by caring and serving them we are serving you.
Jesus, heal all those who are mentally ill, PTSD, Memory problems, and all those who struggle with daily living. We remember all of our family members who are disabled.
Jesus, help us to know that we are one with you and God and that we may never be afraid to come to you and knock at the door. Help us always to be listening and seeking you in those moments of stillness and calm.
Jesus we pray our gratitude list and offer our thanks to you!
Come Lord Jesus and be among us this night and always. Amen.
