Prayer & Praise
Dearest Jesus, teach me to be generous
Teach me to love and serve You as You deserve,
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest
To labour and to look for no reward,
Except that of knowing that I do Your Holy Will.
Amen
Ignatius
Amen!
yes, Lord, help us to focus on everything You’ve so graciously revealed to us of Yourself
i must remember the folks up in Ft. McMurray Canada right now – i know what it’s like to have the world around you go up in fire and smoke and yet this wildfire is unimaginably worse – Lord be merciful to us all, but above all, Your will and power be seen and honored by us puny, presumptive and easily distracted humans
we are burning again – a fire just north and another just south and winds of 45mph – prayer appreciated – not imminent danger, just uncomfortable
Amen & amen.
My first-born son took his life last Sunday. He was 31 years old and serving in the US Army. It has been a week, now, and no words can summarize his life nor express the depth of our loss. Our many friends who knew our son and love my family have rallied around us and surrounded us with caring compassion. In the morning, I fly to Texas with my second son, an Army veteran, to join the memorial service for him at Fort Hood. Meanwhile my wife will travel to Portland to meet the plane that carries his remains. It is a brutal reality that is made bearable only by the assurance that he is at peace in the presence of our Lord.
Fil and family, I am weeping with you over the loss of you son. May God be your comfort and strength. I’m so very sorry . Peace be into you my friend .
Lord have mercy.
So sorry to hear this news.
filbertz, there are no words to express my sorrow.
I’m so sorry, filbert.
Wow, filbertz. May God grant you strength, peace, and comfort. Such horrible news. I’m hurting for you, brother.
i pray that God will be to filbert’s family as He was to me when i lost my first-born son… strength, comfort and peace that truly passes understanding – as You cared for me, Lord, i pray You give to these dear souls – “It is a brutal reality that is made bearable only by the assurance that he is at peace in the presence of our Lord.” yes and amen
Once again the shadow of death has swallowed a loved one. We join you Fil in sorrow, grief and prayer. With you we long for better means of sustaining those we love but cannot spare. Please accept our sorrow and know your loss is borne upon our hearts to the Father.
I’m so sorry Fil.

I learned today my former friend and pastor is critically ill due to complications with diabetes. He has been through so much physically through the years and it appears God may be calling him home. I feel terrible he is so ill and saddened that we are no longer friends. Please pray for Dave and his family.
praying the requests this morning and for you also, E …
