Prayers for June 2022

 

  

To believe is to love, to take action is to live! What action do you do on a daily basis that makes the world a better place? This month we are celebrating life! In all it's glory and pain. It takes effort to live on this planet but it's worth it!! Love is the key that unlocks all possibilities and guides the way! 

 

With all that has been happening I feel we all need to answer the call. We are all angels and each one of us should keep on doing what we can to spread love throughout the planet!

God had a dream to create beings

in like image to have fellowship, conversation,

and share the beauty of creation with.

How can that dream be fulfilled without unity

and peace between each being that has been created?

What we are praying for:

God, help us to know our talents and the message we are to share with the world! Help us to accept and see ourselves as you do. Fill us with your love and help us to know you better. Help us to share your love with those around us every day. 

Help the countries of the world to live together in peace. Silence the tyrants and help all governments to provide the needs of the poor, the sick and the disabled. Help all leaders to show diplomacy and seek for peace in all negotiations. 

Have mercy, oh God and bring your salvation and healing to all peoples.

Scriptures and meditations:

1 Corinthians 13: 4-7. Love is patient and kind.

Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way.

It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.

It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful,

and endures through every circumstance.

 

 

 

Galatians 3:28. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Romans 13:10. Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God's law.

Matthew 5:16. Let your light shine so that people can see your good works, be thankful and be inspired to do the same!

 What we are praying for:

God, we pray for all those who are suffering all over the world. God, we pray for those who have lost loved ones. 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, 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 a danger to themselves or others.

God, help our government to be wise and strong in their decision making and diplomacy. 

Help them to be compassionate to the poor, the elderly and those needing mental and physical care.

 

 

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.

Ephesians 3:16-17. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.

  

Ephesians 1:18 I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called; his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.

John 14:26. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

Prayers For April 2022!

 Happy Resurrection Day!!

Be Refreshed!!

April brings us the beginning of newness of life. 

The air is refreshed, new plants are being birthed and Easter brings us the promise of life eternal. 

It may seem gloomy now, but sunshine is coming and colour will soon be popping up all over!!

You Raise Me Up, Josh Groban

 

 The breath is in you, the dreams, the hope, the way to turn!  

 The message each of us has inside is one of hope and of peace and of love.

 It's the power of love inside us that heals and enables us!

We are not expected to be anything more than who we are.

Our purpose on Earth is just to be ourselves fearlessly and that way spread the message of love.

Let the Easter Story lift your spirit!

Jesus showed us how to live.

He died for you and me.

Death could not hold him and he rose to life!

Those who are loving in life like him will be raised to life also!

The key is to let God's love in and then it will be revealed to you all that is true!

 

What we are praying for:

God, we pray that our neighbours experience refreshing this spring! May they never forget the amazement at creation and the excitement of discovery they had in their youth and that every day brings them new joys. Grant that they experience new birth in every area of their lives.

 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.

Scriptures:

Hosea: 6:3. Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear;

he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.”

John 7:37-39. All those who are thirsty, come to me and from within you rivers of living water shall flow out!

Romans 8: 11. If the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead live in you, you shall be raised to life in the same way!

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!

What we are praying for:

God, restore our faith, restore our hope, give us a hunger for your voice and the strength to follow what you say.

God, you are humbling every nation. Fill our hearts with the desire to seek you and ask for your help. 

No one comes to you except your Spirit draw them. Draw us to you, Lord and bring us back to wholeness 

where we keep your ways and love one another.

God, bring peace between our nations, stop the evil that is persecuting minorities and trying to eliminate peoples belonging in the family of mankind on this planet! Return the power to those who are faithful to use it for the good of all and follow your righteous ways!

 

 

 

Scriptures and meditations:

Psalm 27, 1,13,14.

The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?

I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord. 

 

Psalm 34: 15-18.

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to blot out their name from the earth.

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

  

Isaiah 40:31. 

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;

 they shall mount up with wings as eagles; 

they shall run, and not be weary; 

and they shall walk, and not faint. 

 

Thank you for praying with us!

Continue shining your light!

Prayers for February 2022

We are not here on this planet to preach love or to teach love. We are here to love! The best way we can experience newness of life in the new year is to love others. As we give it away to others through our actions and what we say, love will heal us and flow through us to bring healing to those around us.               Don't preach it. Live it!!

Love locks people together making a union that lasts!

 

Let love always dwell in your heart!

Let it grow and never underestimate it!

When I Fall In Love, Michael Buble' (click here)

Always protects,

Always helps!!

honesty, commitment, and respect are key!

What we are praying for:

God, we pray for the peace and safety of our neighbourhoods. Please help everyone to live with respect to others and really care for each other lovingly. May those who are a threat to themselves or others get the help they need. Give wisdom to neighbours to see the warning signs and look out for one another. Help those in charge to make our neighbourhoods safe places for everyone including our children. May they put the laws and policies in place to keep our streets, our schools and day cares safe places for all.

God, please touch everyone who is afraid and who is alone during this time. Fill their hearts with your peace and help them to find their place in community.

God, help our cities provide proper shelters and warming centers for the homeless. Grant those in charge the wisdom to know what has to be done to provide for the needs of the homeless. Help them to solve the opioid crisis and provide safe places for those addicted. 

Help our governments throughout the world to work together in peace and solve their problems diplomatically. Help them to find the right solutions to heal the planet and to stop the spread of disease.

  

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!

 

1 Corinthians 13: 4-7. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. 

 

1 John 4:7. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
