Prayer & Praise
Remember, O Lord, this city wherein we dwell and every other city and country, and all the faithful who dwell in them.
Remember, O Lord, all who travel by land or water, all that labour under sickness or slavery; remember them for health and safety.
Remember, O Lord, those in Thy Holy Church who bring forth good fruit, are rich in good works and forget not the poor.
Grant unto us all Thy mercy and loving-kindness, and grant that we may with one mouth and one heart praise and glorify Thy great and glorious name, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, now, henceforth, and forever.
Amen.
Chrysostom
Roughest week in ministry of the entire time I’ve been a minister.
My wife and I are really struggling, not in our marriage or our family life, but with several church members doing horribly. And several people purposefully lying about us, who just left. Never seen it about us, I’ve certainly seen it done to others. It just flat out sucks.
I’d appreciate any and all prayers.
JTK,
If they leave and lie about you, be glad they’re gone.
It sucks, but God sees…and we’ll pray.
it is sobering that this sort of combustion lurks within so many churches – like human wicks soaked in vitriol just waiting for someone with a match to bring them to life .. amen to Michael’s words
JTK, That has to be so very painful. May the truth set you free. Praying for you and your wife.
Please pray for J, a young guy I’ve known who is kind of stranded in a small town in another state. He’s 18, confused and basically abandoned by his folks who are a little bit “odd”. He’s living in a bad situation so I’ll get him back to town. He needs a job and a place to stay and some help sorting things out.
Good kid. Bad situation.
praying for the “Good kid, Bad situation” and his good friend London
Praying for you, your wife, and family, JTK…
Praying for J and for London…
Thanks!
And Michael, I’m seeing your point.
It’s funny how scripture comes alive when you’re hurting and need refreshment.
