It was a marvelous night for a prayer walk and then some!

Dear Family of Love!

Happy first day of September and Labor Day! It was a marvelous night for a prayer walk and being with God as he walks at the time of the evening breeze too.  I hope everyone had a blessed Labor Day and You Matter Monday. Remember every Monday is You Matter Monday. I had a tough time getting going this morning! I hope it improves tomorrow due to my having a follow up with Dr. Vachani my GI doctor. I haven't seen him since my surgery and having chemotherapy. That being said, I am feeling well, wonderful, happy, and joyous.  How many of you  remembered in your prayers and thoughts today for all of our family members who labor? I hope you took time to give thanks to God for them as well. Tonight let's have a time of reflection using one of the musical soundtracks that I used for my walk: Sideways Soundtrack . Tonight take time for reflecting upon all the things that laborers and all those who work do for us and write down what you do for us and yourself. Give thanks for the abundance of these gifts. 

Holy Spirit, thank you for empowering us to serve God  and one another in God's kingdom.

Holy Spirit, we give thanks for those who are discerning calls to any vocation and ministry. May they discern rightly, and say "Yes" to God.

We pray this night for all children of the world who are in need of  families, homes, people who love them. We  pray that they may be placed in forever homes with loving families.

We pray this night for an end to all violence, terror, and abuse of any kind.

We pray for all refugees and for compassionate immigration reform.

We pray that we may become good stewards of the God's Cathedral of life.

We pray for rain and seasonable weather.

We pray that peace may prevail in this broken world of ours. May we become peacemakers to all and not be afraid to step out courageously and speak truth to power.

We pray for all those who labor and especially for our family members who labor in the fields.

We pray for all those who  are hospitalized  and who are living with chronic illnesses and who are suffering from brief health problems. Lord Jesus heal them and us and make us whole.

We pray for all who are dying and have died today. Bring your comfort to those who mourn and grieve losses of any kind.

We pray that we may be more loving, compassionate, merciful, and accepting to all. May we remember that all means all and not some.

God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit we add our evening prayers, thanksgivings, celebrations, and remembrances now and on on behalf of others who have requested our prayers. We lift these our prayers to you Lord Jesus, and lay them in your gentle and healing arms. Amen.
