May Prayers 2019

The brightness of Spring will soon arrive!!

It's been a long winter and it has not warmed up yet at the beginning of this month.

There has been a series of violent events and people are still grieving and recovering.

There have been horrific accidents and terrible acts of nature. 

This month we are praying for those affected by these events.

There is hope, there is comfort, although for many difficult to receive. 

We must remember:

Humboldt, The Toronto van attack, the Synagogues, mosques and churches attacked, 

the Max 8 plane crashes, and those affected by suicide among our police force and military and those affected by floods and other acts of nature.

Click on these songs: Rise Up,  Peace,  Power Of Your Love , You Are Loved                                            

God, we pray for those who have lost loved ones due to disease, accident, acts of nature or acts of violence.

Please open their hearts to your love and forgiveness

and help them to have the courage to live in honour of those they lost.

Help those injured to have the courage to face life's challenges and know they are loved. 

May they get the help and encouragement they need.

May those who have lost their home find 

a better place and have the strength to adapt.

 

God we pray for those who are affected by the murders in the Gay Village of Toronto.

 May they have the power to forgive and live without fear.

 May everyone be protected from acts of violence 

and may love and kindness continue among the people there.

God, protect our police and military from violence. Bring healing to all those traumatized. 

May they have the medical help they need and the encouragement of others.

God, may mental health and trauma be understood 

and be attended to appropriately here in Canada and the U.S.

May all those who suffer recognize it and get the understanding and help they need. 
God, help all those bereaved. Comfort them, strengthen them. 

Give them your grace to live with passion in honour of those who have gone before them. 

 Let's remember that those who carried out acts of violence are someone's child too. 

God, we pray for the mothers and the family of those offenders. 

Please may they be able to heal and find forgiveness and comfort in their hearts.

God, please help those who have done the wrongs to allow your love to heal them.

God, help the world's nations to be peaceful towards each other 

and have the wisdom to stop terrorism.

Help the world leaders to turn to peaceful ways of negotiating 

and seek peace for the whole world.

Scriptures and meditations:

2 Corinthians 1:3-4. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 

who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

John 1:5. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 

Quotes:

Martin Luther King Jr.- " Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
Leonard Cohen- " There's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." 

Sometimes we are tested by fire!

Let the fire of God's love fill and strengthen you!

Let the fire of God's Holy Spirit inspire and guide you,

 and let it comfort you and give you peace! 

Thank you for praying with us!

In our times of pain, our times of darkness God is with us! 
God experienced what we go through by living and dying for us in Christ. It was the power of God's Holy Spirit that raised Christ from the dead, and that same Spirit will raise us who believe in Him to life everlasting!

 What we are praying for:

God inspire your salvation in the hearts of everyone in our lives, our family, friends, neighbours, co-workers, employers, our health workers, 
those in our government and those in authority who enforce peace in our cities and in the world.
Bring peace to our hearts and help us to be at peace with each other in our homes, our communities, our cities and between nations. 
May everyone know you are a Loving God. May those who are vulnerable and those who are poor have the provisions they need. 
May health care be accessible to all with respect.
Help those in authority positions to make wise decisions concerning drug addiction and abuse.


Scriptures and Meditations:

John 3:16.
God loved the world so much that he gave his own son to die for us, so that everyone who believes in him would not die
 but would be raised to eternal life to live with him forever!

John 14: 15-31.
Jesus told the disciples that He would return to God the Father, but that God would send the Holy Spirit to be a guide and would lead them into all truth.

Isaiah 60:1-3.
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, 
but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-23
Rejoice always and be thankful! God is faithful to complete the work in you!

Romans 8:11. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you.

 And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.

Thank you for praying with us!!

The Month Of Love, February 2019!

When I fall in love it will be forever

When I give my heart it will be completely

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too is when I fall in love with you 
Taken from- When I Fall In Love, Michael Buble' (click here)

Life and love are about commitment to one another!
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, George Michael 

 

Whether it's friends, family, co-workers 

or that significant other,

honesty, commitment, and respect are key!

We must also love ourselves, so connection to that inner love 

that comes from above is essential. 

Draw Me Close To You, Hillsong (click here)

That's the thing with love; the more you give away, the more you receive!

What we are praying for:

God, we pray that the people in our lives will fall in love anew with themselves, their life, their family, and with you! May they learn to always seek peace, choose to forgive and be inspired by your Spirit in everything they do. Bring your protection on everyone who is vulnerable. Please help those who feel they have to turn to violence overcome their fears and find the ways you have provided for them. Protect all those who are working for peace all over the world.

Scriptures:

Deuteronomy 6:5. Love God with all your heart and all your soul and with all your strength! 

Jeremiah 29:13. You will find me when you seek me with all your heart!

Proverbs 3:5-6. Trust God with all your heart, don't depend on your own understanding, 
in all your ways submit to him and he will help you and guide you in every area of your life!

Matthew 22:37. Love God with all your soul, with all your heart and with all your mind! 

 Proverbs 23:26. Give me your whole heart and delight in my ways!


How can we do all this? We can, but only by the power that comes from above. If we ask for the strength, the love and joy to empower us, it will come. 
In the meantime, till we receive the answer, as we do acts of kindness to others we can find the love that heals growing in us.

Thanks for praying with us!
