A Palm Sunday Prayer Walk Without Having to Leave Home or get your shoes on! Lots of Photos taken in past few days!

Dear Family of Love!

Blessed is He comes in the Name of the Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!


A  blessed Palm Sunday to you all ! I hope you all had a day of reflection, rest, and refocusing your Lenten energies towards Holy Week. In the Ripple Edge meditations we have been praying that we prepare our hearts, minds, and spirits for our Holy Week Journey. Well dear ones we are already here and we must begin to have our minds "Set like a flint" towards Holy Week's emotionally charged events as we remember Jesus' last days and Resurrection. So we begin here with a prayer walk with photos from last evening and hopefully you will be ready to Walk With Jesus On His Journey to the Cross and beyond.


Gracious, loving and merciful God we pray that as we walk this Holy Week Journey with you, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit we may be drawn evermore closely to you and each other.

May we feel your presence like our shadows that go with us in every step we make.

We pray that whether our paths are smooth or crooked we may always be walking with you in the Light and in Your Presence.

Helps us as we walk this journey to remember that we must be weak sometimes in order to be strong.

Help us to to be courageous as we follow your Son through the Orbit of Holy Week and not stray from the path.

We pray that we may be connected to the Waters of Life and feel them coursing through our veins.

May these waters make us thirst after you and your life's lessons

We pray that the Sun never sets upon  our love for you and that we may always love you and one another.

We pray that we may always looking after the least of these your children and our family members whatever road and path we travel.

 We pray for all who travel from place to place and that your holy angels may protect them.

 We thank you for the beauty of the earth and all that it is in it. May we ever be in tune with nature and practice the art of conservation.

God we pray that we may give the littlest ones among us roots and wings and to stand tall in your love, grace, and mercy. May they be protected from harm.

We pray for all of our family members who are fighting injustice and those who are voiceless and cannot speak truth to power for themselves. We pray for universal human rights.
Ring out the bells of freedom, equality, justice, and peace.

We pray for sound government in all nations, cities, and towns. We pray especially for law enforcement officers that they may do justly, love mercifully, and walk humbly with you O, God.

Jesus may we walk with you again as you enter Jerusalem and sing praises and loud Hosanna's to you.

 Jesus may you always shine your light upon us and may we shine your light upon others.

Help us to walk in the light even when we have have our darkest days.

 Give us courage to minister to our family members no natter what time of day it is.

 We pray for all who are homeless, hungry, and ill clad that they may have safe places to walk and find safe shelter.

 Jesus we forgive us when we hit bumps in the road and that we may always return to you as the Prodigal Son did. 

We pray for all who are ill that they may be healed of their illnesses and be restored to health and see your beautiful artwork outdoors.

We pray for all who are going through rough patches and that they may find them made smooth by faith and relationship with you.

God we pray for all who are in peril and especially, the refugee, the captive, the victims of abuse and human trafficking. We pray for an end to violence, terror, abuse, and bullying.

 God we pray for all who mourn and those who are  pre- grieving any loss and may find comfort in you and all of us.

God we pray for all who are dying and who have died today and that the sunset of their earthly life was joyful and peaceful and their birth into Eternal life was Joyful and light filled.

God we give thanks for_______________________

 God help us to seek the wonder and see your hand in all that we see everyday.

Help our footsteps be ordered by you and that we may listen for your still small voice.

God of Love may we seek to be the earthly messengers of your Good News and Love and that we may seek you in each other.

God give us courage to wait in the Garden of Gethsemane ,at the Foot of the Cross. and in the Upper Room.

May we all find our paths this week sure footed as we carry  our crosses with you. May we know that your "Yoke is Easy and your Burden is Light!"

 We pray that as we complete this journey that we may find our souls enlightened and that we may find you at the center of our hearts and that we may radiate your love that is within and without to all our family members and that "They will know we are Christians by our Love!"

We pray these our prayers in the name of Jesus who taught us to walk and pray! Amen.

Good Night Dear Family! I love you ! I give thanks to God for you this day and always. Tomorrow is You Matter Monday and Monday in Holy Week. 

Here is the prayer (collect) for tomorrow from THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER: Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

This was today's prayer (Collect) for Palm Sunday! Lots of Walking imagery :
Almighty and everliving God, in your tender love for the human race you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross, giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and also share in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.


Love, peace, prayers, and blessing as we walk this holy journey together,

Sara
