Dear Family of Love (God) and Pilgrims on our Journey,
I 'm writing this while listening to the loud rushes of traffic flowing from the 405 (San Diego Freeway). I kind of like the sound because it reminds me of the rush of the mighty wind at Pentecost. These past few days being in Los Angeles has made me feel enlivened and empowered. So much so, my energy is A ONE , A TEN, and ***** (Five Stars)! I feel rested, relaxed, refreshed, and renewed. God wants each of us to have times of Fun, Sabbath Rest, and not to mention days such as You Matter Monday, Take Care Tuesday, Being Thoughtful and Thankful Thursday, and Self-Care Saturday. Tonight I would like each of you to take time to be quiet, restful, and don't forget to unplug all the devices and don't do anything and just be! But now I would like each of you to take out the timer or put on the music for the time of your own choosing.
Find peace at the center, pray for peace, and feel God bathing you with love, mercy, joy, and peace. Rest in the Lord and let all the worries, anxieties, and nagging thoughts be released! Let go and let God do the work.
Sheep May Safely Graze
Dear Jesus Son of God and blessed Redeemer we pray this this night for peace in your homeland that all the violence and divisions may cease and that in the words of the Prophet Isaiah :
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.—Isaiah 2:3–4
May it be so and may we become peacemakers one to another and that we may finally be the loving family of God that you have commanded us to be.
We pray for all your children who are homeless, hungry, oppressed, refugees, and in need of loving families.
Jesus, we pray for our family members who are the least of these may we rise to the occasion and lovingly come to their aid.
Jesus, pray for all caregivers of any kind. Give them respite and the courage to take care of themselves.
Jesus, we pray for all of our family members who have lost loved ones and that they may find loving comfort and solace.
Jesus, we pray for all of our family members who are ill and that they may be healed of all their infirmities.
Jesus, we come before you with our prayers, thanksgivings, remembrances, and celebrations.
Jesus, we pray for all those who are discerning vocations to ministry and new life paths.
Jesus, may we all give our family members a soft place to fall, gifts of courage, strength, and kindness. Help us give freely our friendship and add them to our own great and beautiful extended family, where there is no hate, only love.
Jesus, we pray for all who travel and that they may feel your holy protection around them.
Jesus, we pray that we may find rest, relaxation, refreshment, and renewal of our bodies, minds, and spirits!
In the name of Jesus Christ our Redeemer who loves us and makes us whole , we offer our prayers to Him.
Amen.

Love, prayers, blessings, and peace be always yours!
