November 3Prayer
Have you ever stopped at the Y on the road wondering which way to go? Hard decisions Hard road Saying yes to one way is saying no to another Give up, renounce, set aside These are words Jesus speaks to follow him Whole heartedly To live freely To share the cross experience as your own Hard words to follow Love hurts and love requires something of us beyond our own lives We have a promise, “God is with us! He is our helper and He will never fail us.’ Praying; ‘As we take our first step on the road today Lord, lead the way. We take hold of your strong hand and know you are ever with us. Your presence never leaves us. We trust the road that unfolds before us to say yes and follow the freedom you have. No shadows of fear nor shame lurking about any longer. Give us all the courage today to live in the way of your cross as our own. As we become free. Let us be about setting others free as we let go and let You lead. We trust in You! Amen Lk.14:27,Heb.13:5-7 Dee Brill November 2 Prayer
‘The love of God has been poured out to you so then.. Love from the center of who you are.’ So much of what we do and what we feel is from what has been done to us and how it made us feel. To genuinely love another we must first have received the love of God into the center of who we are otherwise we become slaves to our past hurts. Wherever you are right now in your soul place your life Into the loving arms of Jesus. Everyday we have the invitation to come and be filled up with this forgiving love so we can pour out to others from the deep well within us. We pray, Lord fill us up with the kind of love that is pure and good and righteous. The kind of love that is open enough to forgive and to allow your spirit in us to give us strength to walk through our pain. Today we ask for your love to overwhelm the darkness that we hold inside and let the light come in to set us free. Lord, we pray for this freedom for those who are held in anger without any hope. Would you flood them with your forgiveness and acceptance that will change the center of their hearts. Pour out your genuine love upon us all. Then pour us out! Amen Romans 5:5, 12:9-21 Dee Brill November 1 Prayer
“On this mountain He will remove the cloud of gloom, wipe away the tears and disgrace from all the earth. Wait for it, This is our God. Who holds all the earth. Who holds all things together. Who creates a place for all the peoples of the world. Today let us pray for our earth and all those living. Lord Jesus, You are the One with the Father and the Holy Spirit before all time that has created us. And though and for you we are held together. Move upon us now with a fresh wind to restore and heal what has been destroyed. May we be a part of creating peace here where we live. Through our prayers and the lives that we live. We ask for wisdom and grace on how we treat one another and the earth we care for. Amen Col.1:16-10, Is.25:6-9 Dee Brill |
