| On
Prayer |
The
Bible asks us to pray for one another!
“Do not be anxious
about anything, but in everything, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests
to God.” Philippians 4:6
The National Day
of Prayer is May 6, 2010

“Guide me, O Lord,
in all the changes and varieties of the world,
that in all things that shall happen I may have
an evenness and tranquillity of spirit; that my
soul may be wholly resigned to thy divinest will
and pleasure, never murmuring at thy gentle chastisements
and fatherly correction, never waxing proud and
insolent though I feel a torrent of comforts and
prosperous successes.” Jeremy Taylor
God, there is so
much war, so much violence, so much conflict --
too much. And it is the poorest and most vulnerable
who suffer even more as a result: in displacement,
in victimization, in loss of life. We lift up
our brothers and sisters whose lives are most
impacted by such circumstances. Bring peace to
their lives, to their societies, to their worlds,
Lord. And as we commit to walking with the poor,
give us opportunities to stand with them and to
stand for them. We pray all this in the name and
power of the Prince of Peace, amen.
