Proverbs 12:25

25 Anxiety weighs down the heart,
but a kind word cheers it up.


My Prayer...

Dear Father in heaven, grant us Your Spirit so that here
on earth we may be united with You in Jesus Christ the Savior.
May truth dawn on us with its light, bringing joy no matter
what happens to us. May all the pain in our lives be turned
into birth pangs of a new life in which we can rejoice as people
You have created, people prepared for the struggle on earth,
who are called into battle and led to victory. Grant that we
may not be blinded by the surrounding darkness. Shed a clear
light on the new life that is coming. May we see what has
already happened because Jesus Christ came to the earth and
remains on earth, and may we see what is still to come through
Him, the Savior. O God of wonders, keep us aware of the wonders
that increasingly surround us, until all the pain on earth is finally
overcome and we men glorify your love and your great goodness.

In Jesus' glorious Name I pray.

Amen.

In Jesus' precious name, I agree. Amen and Amen.

1 John 4:18-19

18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love
drives out fear, because fear has to do with
punishment. The one who fears is not made
perfect in love.
19 We love because he first loved us.


My Prayer...

Most gracious and compassionate God,
In this time of great trouble, when it seems
as if the whole world is in an uproar, we
come before you.  We trust that you are with us,
that you are our refuge to protect us from this
invisible storm, that you are our strength upholding
our fearful hearts, that your Spirit is our Comforter
who calms our uncertain fear.
Help us O God to be still, and know in the deepest
part of our being, that you are our God.
We pray for your divine guidance of those who have
the responsibility of making decisions.  Guide them
to receive and share accurate information, to discern
wise responses and give clear and thoughtful directions.
We pray for medical staff who care for all who are sick. 
Protect their health O God, that their important task of
healing and care may continue.
We pray for those scientists who are developing treatments
and vaccines that will protect us.
And we pray for those who are most at risk and vulnerable,
especially those who are older and those who are poor.
The psalmist calls us to “Be still and know that you are God.” 
In the fearful noise of our hearts, and in the silence of this moment,
help us to be still and know your presence with us.
Come now, Holy Spirit, and fill our hearts with your peace
in our silence . . .

In Jesus' glorious Name I pray.

Amen.

In Jesus' glorious name, I agree. Amen and Amern.

Luke 6:35

35 But love your enemies, do good to them,
and lend to them without expecting to get
anything back. Then your reward will be great,
and you will be children of the Most High,
because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.


My Prayer...

Lord our God, we thank you for your gospel, the great,
good tidings we may carry in our hearts to give us joy in
this present time, even though on all sides people are in
anguish and agony. We thank you that your gospel fills
our hearts with compassion, enabling us to help carry
what many have to suffer. Show us our need of you so
that we can receive your help. If we must be the first to
suffer all kinds of pain and distress, may we do so joyfully
because we have been promised blessing in the midst of
all the pain. May we continually honor your name, praising
you for the good news of your kingdom, for the promise that
everything must work together for good through
Jesus Christ the Savior.

Amen.

[Charon]

Amen and amen.

2 John 1:6

6 And this is love: that we walk in obedience
to his commands. As you have heard from the
beginning, his command is that you walk in love.


My Prayer...

Lord our God, give us your Spirit, we beseech you,
that we may find your paths on earth and live in the hope
and certainty that everything is in your hands, even
when we see much that is unjust and evil. May we remain
under your protection, living by your commandments and
in your Spirit. For your Spirit witnesses to the truth and
longs to change and lift up our lives. Your Spirit longs to
reach all people who have felt your touch, longs that they
may come to you and have life.

In Jesus' glorious Name I pray.

Amen.

[Charon]

In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen and Amen. *and Father God, heal our country and Our President even as I pray.*
