PRAYING EACH DAY - NOVEMBER
https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i..._SrCzYNgxBV4a- NOVEMBER In busy days of noise and action - and especially when my journey seems long and my energy is spent - lead me to be still, Lord, and discover anew that you are with me. Let us pray: When I think of the greatness of God’s plan, I fall on my knees before God the Father. From his great wealth may he give us power through his Spirit that we may grow strong within. Through faith, may we discover that Christ has made his home within each of us. Then, with our roots and foundations firmly built on God’s love, may we, with all of his saints, grasp just how wide and long and high and deep is Christ’s love. Yes, may we come to experience for ourselves the love of Christ so that we may be filled completely with God himself. This prayer we ask of God who can accomplish far more than we could ever ask for or imagine. Amen. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...1-5IwB10vfrRbg |
https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...4hJ-gcwllzAP7g Let us pray: We give back to you, Father, those whom you first gave to us. You did not lose them in giving them to us and so we do not lose them in their return to you. Your Son has taught us that life is eternal and love cannot die. So death is only an horizon - the limits of our sight. Open our eyes and lift us up, so that we may see more clearly. Draw us closer to you so that we may know that we are nearer to our loved ones who are with you. And while you prepare a place for us as you have promised, prepare us also for that happy place, that where you are, we may be also, with those we have loved, for ever. Amen. https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...eojrFAA8M2Gdvx |
https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...e6k4c3nyAkXKqi Let us pray: God our Father, we live in a nation of many natural resources. We pray for wisdom that we may use them well whilst also caring for our environment. We pray, too, that the many human resources of all nations may develop as people respect and value the dignity and rights and responsibilities of each individual. Amen. http://i829.photobucket.com/albums/z.../5252949-2.jpg |
http://angelwinks.ca/images/suemiller/suemiller4.jpg Let us pray: God our Father, extend our horizons, widen our vision, and remind us how inter-connected we are as your sons and daughters. Breathe your Spirit into us that we may live more truly as brothers and sisters who care for one another. Amen. http://www.animated-gifs.eu/phone-24...erubs/0015.gif |
http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/bowser/bowser2.jpg Let us pray: God our Father, open our eyes to whatever may not be just and right in our own surroundings and in our society Enable us to be of good influence and work in a non-violent way to promote understanding and better relationships that will lead to justice and peace. Amen. https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...i1h8tgnYOgDOfN |

https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...XDGha6FiJsg79H Let us pray: God our Father, may no-one’s negative actions ever overpower my determination to choose to live in a positive way. I know that to forgive someone can be far from being an easy option, and I know that forgiveness isn’t somehow pretending that something wrong hasn’t happened. For what I have done wrong, Father, forgive me to the extent that I am generous in forgiving - or hoping to forgive - those who have done wrong to me. Empower me to break the cycle of any hatred, resentment or bitterness, always resisting evil and conquering it with goodness. Amen. https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...dKGCx1ij091Q1w |
http://angelwinks.ca/iq/qcangels477.jpg Let us pray: Lord, if I ever “build walls”, cutting people off or isolating myself from the needs of others, alert me to what I am doing. Open my eyes to see what unites people rather than what divides us. Show me how to be inclusive and build bridges between people instead of being exclusive and putting up walls that divide. Amen. http://angelwinks.ca/iq/qcangel400.jpg |
https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...8vj6dJK28vGvyr Let us pray: God our Father, you are very pleased when you see people living fully, developing their talents, living a balanced life, and being of service to others. We ask you to inspire us to live as you would have us live and walk in your presence. Amen. http://angelwinks.ca/images/naturepod/naturepod530.jpg |
“Lead Kindly Light” was sung, and we make that our prayer today: Lead, kindly light, amid th’encircling gloom: lead thou me on. The night is dark, and I am far from home, lead thou me on. Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see the distant scene; one step enough for me. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou shouldst lead me on. I loved to choose and see my path; but now lead thou me on. I loved the garish day, and, ‘spite of fears, pride ruled my will; remember not past years. So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still will lead me on o’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till the night is gone, and with the morn those angel faces smile which I have loved long since and lost awhile. Some countries mark Remembrance Day on the 11th of November itself, and others on the nearest Sunday. Sang at the tomb of the unknown soldier. https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...c1XIAr2FR9wMAw Quote:

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...VgObBLeFKO0HB6 Let us pray: I leave my own past to your mercy, Lord. I entrust the present to your love, and the future to your providence. Amen. https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...QtfVwXmyxZEjXQ https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...nn1kPyOnQSfM8x |
https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...SUCiax5oeMmvpg Let us pray in silence: “Father, forgive.” https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...aIynPYeAbNtiqG |
https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...6jMQH3ehe0ePuA Let us pray: We place ourselves into your hands, God our Father, knowing that whatever difficulties we face, we can never be losers because nothing can ever separate us from your love. May we live in your peace. Amen. https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...3Lf_zKUum3YvZ- |
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...gEK9Ty9w34lNzQ Let us pray: Lord, there is so much that I don’t know, and I ask you to inspire me with a thirst for knowledge. I pray, too, for wisdom that I may use my knowledge well. I give thanks for many people I have never met whose knowledge and understanding have been passed on to me. I ask that I may benefit from their work and experience and may contribute, in turn, to the well-being of others. Amen. https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...bmuCt-BnYkvwqM |
https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...MnCDZdRUFmgp2T Let us pray: Loving Lord, you tell us in the Bible that whatever wrong we have done you tread down our faults to the bottom of the sea. Mic 719 We know there is no need to keep thinking about what we have done in the past, Is 4318 because you pardon the wrongs we have done, and you delight in showing mercy. Mic 718 You bind up all our wounds Ps 1473 and you renew us by your love. Zeph 317 4 Lord, you love all that you have made, Wis 1124 and it is your very nature to love and forgive. Lead us to be generous in accepting and forgiving others in the same way as you accept and forgive us. Amen. https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...RS6f8LL34ipzLQ |
https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...JQw2mZy6l1_N9g Let us pray: God our Father, in good times may I live in such a way that I will be strengthened for the difficult times that all of us face in our lives. Lead me now to make positive choices to value friendship and loyalty, and develop attitudes and values, treasuring all that is lasting and important. Throughout difficult times may I build on the positive choices of my past, looking outward in the service of others and avoiding self-pity. May I grow in the faith that, whatever my circumstances, I need have no regrets but may entrust my past to your mercy, my present to your love, and my future to your Providence. May I know, too, that my faith in you is only a shadow of your faith in me and your love for me. Amen. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i..._ohdLu1ZjR720Q |
https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...6pZ03TnDuugMGw Let us pray: Happy are those, Lord who long in their hearts to walk the roads that lead to Jerusalem, the City of Peace. Ps 84 Now that I stand in Jerusalem, I pray: “Peace be upon everyone.” Ps 1222,8 I know that in your presence, Lord, justice and peace Ps 8514 will come about. Amen. http://krexy.com/wp-content/uploads/...es-Battles.jpg |
https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...ek2SUmz5NRE51d Let us pray: God our Father, open our eyes to the wonder of all your creation - from the beauty of all that is close to us, to the fascination of far-away places on our own planet and far beyond. Heighten our awareness, deepen our understanding, and extend our horizons that we may have respect for all that is around us and discover your kingdom deep within us. Amen. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...yJImknsgrR0OoQ |
https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...1i1DFE5r44liOC One of the early Christian writers was called Eusebius, and he died about the year 340A.D. He wrote these words which we will make our prayer today: May I be no-one’s enemy, and God’s friend. May I never quarrel with those nearest me but, if I do, may I be reconciled quickly. May I never plot evil against others, and if anyone plots evil against me may I escape unharmed and without the need to hurt anyone else. May I love and seek and achieve only what is good. May I desire happiness for all, and may I envy no-one. May I never find pleasure at the misfortune of someone who has done wrong to me May I gain no victory that harms either me or my opponent. May I reconcile friends who become angry with one another. May I, insofar as I can, give all necessary help to those who are in need, and never fail a friend in trouble. May I respect myself and always keep in control of myself, being gentle in attitude and never letting circumstances make me angry with others. May I never discuss the wicked or what they have done wrong, but know good people and follow in their footsteps. Amen. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...YeMA2dU9Zpo67f |
http://static6.bigstockphoto.com/thu...2/10350026.jpg Let us pray: God our Father, until the time of the printing press, people copied the Gospel, writing it by hand. Slowly the Gospel took shape - both on the page and deep within themselves. I ask that the Gospel - the Good News of your love - may be written in me not with ink but with the Spirit of God. 2 Cor 33 Only then will I grow as a credible witness of the wealth of your love. Day by day, as the pages of my own life turn over, remind me that you write my name on the palm of your hand. Is 4916 I ask this prayer through Jesus, who is your Word, living amongst us. Amen. http://static3.bigstockphoto.com/thu...l2/1422443.jpg |
https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...T_1yFiNg0Mh31Q Let us pray: Lord, in my better times it is easy for me to ask in prayer that I may never allow the negative actions of others to dictate that I should act in a negative way. In the difficult times that I may face in the future, I ask that I may be true to my inner convictions and still look for the best in others, remaining generous towards them. Remind me, too, that, as time moves on, people can change and their attitude can change for the better. Amen. https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...30uicSTl-jTTWA |
http://static2.bigstockphoto.com/thu...2/61506005.jpg Let’s think of those who look back and wish they had an extra day or more time: - those who have too little time for what they are expected to do; - those who have lost a sense of balance and proportion in their lives; - those who feel that they have made a mess of everything and would like to be able to start again. We pray, too, for those who might wish for less time: - those who are worried about what might happen; - those who are in despair; - those who suffer hours of pain and illness; - those who are in prison or are being tortured; - those who wish to die. On all these people, Lord, we ask your blessing. Amen. |
http://static0.bigstockphoto.com/thu...l2/7375550.jpg Let us think of these words as we pray: Lord, you are like a shepherd to me, and so I have all that I need. You give me rest in meadows of green grass, and you lead me to flowing water where I gain new life and strength. You guide me along the way that is best for me. Even when I walk in darkness and everything around seems like death, you are there, walking with me, and the promise of your love and faithfulness helps to conquer my fear. In the sight of those who do me down, you invite me to sit at table with you. There you offer me even more than I need, and you remind me that I am significant and special. You call me to goodness and kindness every day of my life, and your house will be my home my whole life long. (Psalm 23) Amen http://static2.bigstockphoto.com/thu...ll2/135645.jpg |
This Thanksgiving and Everyday
This Thanksgiving and everyday I’m inviting The Lord to my humble little table For always showering me… from up above With His endless guidance, blessings and love There I’ll thank Him for the air That I can sweetly breathe The view upon the shimmering ocean shore For the little children that sit down with Us Who We now smile upon, love and adore I’m Thankful for the food The harvest He prepares Always providing for our every need Showing that He cares I’m thankful for the ones I love Who love me... right back For the moon that shines upon my face Filling my heart... with His comforting embrace I’m Thankful for the legs… That take me here and there For the heart of giving To always show I care I’m thankful for the hands That gives a comforting touch For the voice to always say, “I love you, very much” I’m thankful for the sheltering roof Above this tables fair For the warm and comforting bed Where I kneel to say my daily prayers I’m thankful for the friend He has graciously sent my way The one I found in you Oh, What a bless filled day! I’m Thankful for the Son Who has taught my heart so much Through His endless guidance And always loving touch I’m thankful to God… For making me who I am For forgiving me when I should err Making me whole once again Invite Them to your dinner table Fill your plates with gratefulness Bow your heads in gracious praise Lifting your voices to the Heavens This Thanksgiving and everyday By Brenda Conley |
“I place myself into your hands, Father,” were the words of Jesus as he lay dying on the cross. ‘Dying is trusting in the Catcher! Caring for the dying is saying: “Don’t be afraid! Remember that you are a beloved son or daughter of God. He will be there when you make your long jump… Don’t try to catch him, he will grab you… Just stretch out your arms and hands, and trust… trust… trust.”’ Let us pray: Help me to grow in trust, Father, so that I can more readily place myself into your hands, confident that all shall be well. Amen. If thought more appropriate on the particular occasion, the words “both now and at the time of our death” could be omitted. An alternative prayer: Let us pray: Help us to grow in trust, Father, and place ourselves into your hands, both now and at the time of our death. Amen. http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/...brews_11-6.jpg |
Let us pray and give thanks: Let’s pause to remember and give thanks for what has been good in our lives: - for people who have given us love and care, friendship and support… Let’s pause to remember and give thanks - for our health and talents, and for the opportunities that come to us… Let’s pause to remember and give thanks - for the beauty that we can see and for the inspiration we receive… Let’s pause to remember and give thanks - for the happy memories we treasure and for all that has been good over the years… Amen. Let us pause and give thanks for each blessing that comes our way, no matter how big or small no matter what form it takes. mj http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcangelbearonmoon1.jpg |
