We wish to continue our prayers of gratitude toward the firefighters who risk life and limb to protect us.
We
thank you for your service.
We are indeed grateful for the rains that have come. Our prayers have been answered. It may sound cliché – God really does answer prayers.
There is another prayer request for a young lady that is lost. She hasn’t found the voice inside her (yet) that she feels God will hear. Join me in calling on our Lord’s grace that she might find that voice, and find comfort in His fold.
Let us pray:
Almighty Father; who looks down upon us from heaven; witness thy children growing up in an unsteady and confusing world: show them Thy ways give more life than the ways of the world, and that following Thee is better than chasing after selfish goals. Help them to take failure, not as a measure of their worth, but as a chance for a new start. Give them strength to hold their faith in Thee, and keep alive their joy in Thy creation. Have mercy upon us. Help us to eliminate our cruelty to these our neighbors. Strengthen those who protect us in the service of defending our liberty; saving us from the perils of fire; and who establish equal protection under the laws of this land, and Thy laws. Grant us prosperity that we all may share the bounty of Thy greatness; let us serve them that cannot serve themselves. Let us find the voice that calls to Thee in holy song, and join united in the choir of eternal joy. Accept our gratitude in receiving the blessing of rain. Fill our hearts with the love of He whom served us all with redemption, even Jesus Christ in whose name we pray, Amen.
God Bless…
Reverend Jack
