Time to share and have a time of prayer! Writing this with pain and tears in my eyes!




Dear Family !


I would like your prayers for me. I'm going through a tough time of being discouraged with the pain and whatever this is that is making life difficult these days.
My range of motion is being challenged like never before and the spasms of pain are depressing me. What's worse is that just putting on a bra, top, or jacket on is becoming progressively difficult. I will be seeing my doctor next week. I have other things going on in my life too that I'm not ready to make public yet but just know that I need your prayers . I want to be strong but it isn't easy to be. I want to be strong for you and care for you as God wants me to,so I will. I love you all. I give thanks to God for you this day and always.

Tonight we will replay a few prayers from blogs from last year and the year before:

Jesus, help us to learn to be more like you day by day.
May always remember these words:

Prayer of Saint Richard of Chichester

Thanks be to thee, my Lord Jesus Christ,
for all the benefits thou hast given me,
for all the pains and insults thou hast borne for me.
O most merciful redeemer, friend and brother,
may I know thee more clearly,
love thee more dearly,
and follow thee more nearly, day by day.
Amen.

Jesus, we pray that we may be empowered to love, serve, and help the least of these.
Give us courage Jesus, we do not know where to plant our feet and know what to do.

Jesus, help us to be peacemakers so that we may become and be the Children of God.

Jesus, heal and sooth our infirmities that we may rise and serve You and all our family members, as Peter's mother-in-law did. 
Give us the right amount of daily energy to do this.

Jesus, give us grace to see you in the eyes of our enemies, strangers, refugees, immigrants, the least of these and all those with whom there is division. May we sew seeds of love, compassion, mercy.


Jesus, we pray for all the warring areas in Your Father's world especially in the places where you proclaimed  Good News and told us not to be afraid.

Take away all the fear, terror, hate, and mistrust of all of our family members who live in Your homeland and all  of  the prophets, apostles, martyrs, Matriarchs, Patriarchs, Remembering our Abrahamic family members.


Lord Jesus we name before you all those who have requested prayers and we also lay before you all our worries at your feet remembering especially___________

Jesus, may we rise to the challenge of being loving and writing positive, loving, and reassuring posts in social media. We pray that our words may heal not harm. We also pray and pledge that we will speak truth to power and use words that will empower our family members to fight on behalf of the least of these and all those who are recipients of injustice and oppression.
