May 2018

This month we are remembering those who suffered acts of violence including those affected by the attack on the streets in North York. We remember those bereaved and those injured and those traumatized. We will be praying for safety in our streets throughout North America. We also pray for those in Humboldt and all those affected by the accident that took the lives of many of their hockey team.

We must not fear. We must remember that we are watched over, that we are loved and that as we love, 

the opportunities to grow and learn and give will come to us. 

April this year was more like January, but finally warmed up the last week. So the sun with the colourful blooms are coming, if a little late. 

The dark and gloom is disappearing and our hearts are being lifted up at last!

What we are praying for:

God, comfort and heal those who are injured and those who are traumatized and those who are bereaved. Help all to live without fear in honour of 
loved ones lost. Help all to continue their dreams and encourage others to grow and fulfill their dreams too. Strengthen them from within by your Spirit. 
Help those in charge to make our streets and highways safe. Help our health care system provide the help needed to those suffering mental illness. Help  everyone to recognize those in distress and reach out to them before they become offenders. 
Help everyone to allow your love in their hearts and work together for peace.

Scriptures:

Matthew 11: 28-30. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Romans 8: 11. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. 

2 Corinthians 1:3-4. All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.

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. 


Thanks for praying with us!
