March is preparing for spring growth!
Don't forget to get alone
when you need to, that quiet place where you can think, reflect,
meditate, listen to that inner voice we all have to connect to the
higher wisdom, that loving place where we restore. Take a walk in
your green cool garden and get refreshed! Have a little taste of
Spring early!!
What we are praying for:
What we are praying for:
God, change our hearts to be like yours. Protect our neighbourhood. Protect our city.
Protect everyone within from accidents and help us to turn from violence to your peaceful ways.
God we pray that our neighbours will make the right choices that will allow you to work in their lives and that will help them to hear your voice more clearly. May they experience your refreshing and renewal this Spring and be inspired to follow your ways of love.
We
pray that love will be pure and continue among all peoples in the
world! We pray for our world leaders that they find it in themselves
to rule with a true heart, be filled with wisdom, and represent all
peoples that they govern. We pray for the immigrants and those
displaced that they are protected as they travel and find a safe
place to settle. We pray that all peoples in the general public find
it in their hearts to accept and befriend those who come into their
country from other places despite their differences. May those in
minorities seeking refuge find it.
Help
those in authority positions to bring peace to the Middle East. Help
the allies to stop Isis and return the countries under siege to
peace. Restore relationships between nations that have suffered.
Help the crisis in Africa where people are starving. Help those countries to find peace and give help to those in need.

God, we pray for the safety of all
who participate in fundraisers throughout the GTA.
We pray that all groups reach their goals!
We pray for the Irish residents of our city
that they feel welcome here.

Scriptures from the Bible:
Jesus got alone to listen to God's voice to restore, refresh and get instruction, and to know who He was.
Luke 5:16. But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and
prayed.
When we get alone and quieten ourselves, giving over to
peace, then we will hear that inner voice that comes from love.
1
Kings 19:12.
And after the earthquake there was
a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there
was the sound of a gentle whisper.
The Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth. What you
need to hear at that particular time to stay on your life path.
John
16:13. When the Spirit of truth
comes, he will guide you into all truth.
Pay Attention to your
spiritual health.
Isaiah 58: 11. The
Lord
will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry
and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden,
like an ever-flowing spring.

Then Jesus said, “Come
to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens,
and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you.

and you will find rest for your souls.

Grow
your spiritual health!
1Timothy 4: 7-9
Spend your time and energy
in training yourself for spiritual fitness.
Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is much more important
for it promises a reward in both this life and the next.
This is true and everyone should accept it.”

Boost your spiritual health!Isaiah 40: 29-31
He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.
Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
