Let us pray: Lord, I ask for the gifts of knowledge and wisdom and understanding. What I pray for I intend to work at, so that I may develop an open mind, a thirst for knowledge, and a wisdom that makes good use of my knowledge and experience. I know that any gifts are useless if I do not also have love and concern for others, and so I ask that you inspire me to live in such a way that I am caring and compassionate and promote understanding between people. May others respect me, Lord, as much as I respect them. Amen http://angelwinks.net/images/thought...ghtpod1154.jpg http://angelwinks.net/images/faithpod/faithpod41.jpg |
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 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. http://angelwinks.net/images/thought...ghtpod1155.jpg http://angelwinks.net/images/faithpod/faithpod42.jpg |
Let us pray: Lord Jesus, bring your love to our lives in a new way today so that any fear that we might have is driven away, knowing that “perfect love casts out fear”. Then your light will shine more brightly in us, and others will be able to see the good things that are done in your name. Help us to grow more aware of the love and respect and dignity that you give us in calling us your “friends”. We ask that your Spirit acts in us so that we discover and take pride in who we really are. Make us credible witnesses of your love so that others may more readily share in your love and your light, you who are the light of the world. Amen http://angelwinks.net/images/thought...ghtpod1156.jpg http://angelwinks.net/images/faithpod/faithpod43.jpg |
Let us pray: In times of difficulty, Lord, may we support others with the same care and concern as we would like to experience ourselves. Amen. http://angelwinks.net/images/thought...ghtpod1157.jpg http://angelwinks.net/images/faithpod/faithpod44.jpg |
Let us pray: Lord, our God and King, your greatness is seen throughout the earth. When I gaze at the heavens which your fingers have formed, and look at the moon and the stars which you have set there, I realise how small we are in the majesty of your creation. Yet you treasure us above all that you have made, and you give us control over all the works of your hand - animals both wild and tame, birds in the air, and the creatures of the sea. Lord, our God and King, your greatness is seen throughout the earth. Amen. http://angelwinks.net/images/thought...ghtpod1158.jpg http://angelwinks.net/images/faithpod/faithpod45.jpg |
Let us pray: God our Father, the landing on the moon was one of the most significant events in human history. We give thanks for the skills and expertise and the courage and co-operation which led to that successful venture. In giving thanks we recall, too, that the astronauts showed their appreciation and reminded us of important values. We pray for the power of your Spirit in our lives that we may live in thankfulness and be people of vision and courage who have compassion for one another. Amen. http://angelwinks.net/images/thought...ghtpod1159.jpg http://angelwinks.net/images/faithpod/faithpod46.jpg Quote:

Let us pray: God our Father, we thank you that in the vastness of your creation there is something special about the beauty of this earth. Into our world which you love so much you sent Jesus, your Son - your Word who became a human being - and he made his home among us. Open our eyes that we may have a sense of wonder and awe that leads us to treasure all that you have made. Show us how to value all who are a part of our lives this day. Amen. http://angelwinks.net/images/thought...ghtpod1160.jpg Quote:

Let us pray: We pray, Lord, for all who will need strength and courage today: - for those who are seriously ill; - for those who are in desperate situations and see no hope of anything different; - for those who find it difficult to face others or themselves; - for those in pain from illness or mistreatment or torture; - for those who know that others depend on them. For all these people we ask for the power of your Spirit in their lives. Amen. http://angelwinks.net/images/thought...ghtpod1161.jpg http://angelwinks.net/images/faithpod/faithpod48.jpg |
The prayer listed today was the lyrics of the gospel song, Amazing Grace. My sisters and I sang it many times, and I know that as we sang it, it was a prayer.
I am dating myself, but no one sang it better than George Beverly Shea. Quote:

Let us pray: God our Father, the star of Bethlehem was a sign of faith for the Wise Men, and their faith led them to discover the newly-born Jesus in Bethlehem. May we grow in faith and discover Jesus in our daily lives. Lord, hear us Lord, graciously hear us. Thousands of people worked together to enable the astronauts to land on the moon. May we grow in our appreciation for all who are part of our lives. Lord, hear us Lord, graciously hear us. The Wise Men had a sense of vision and purpose - and so did the astronauts. Give us the power of your Holy Spirit that we may share your vision of individuals and of our world. Lord, hear us Lord, graciously hear us. http://angelwinks.net/images/thought...ghtpod1163.jpg http://angelwinks.net/images/faithpod/faithpod50.jpg |
Let us pray: Lord, may I receive this day as much respect and encouragement and building up as I give to others today. Amen. http://angelwinks.net/images/general...ralpod1294.jpg http://angelwinks.net/images/thought...ghtpod1164.jpg http://angelwinks.net/images/faithpod/faithpod51.jpg |
Let us pray: Lord, I want to be responsible for my own life, and I want to make positive choices each day. Inspire me to get my priorities right and be generous in my care and concern for others. In busy days and casual days remind me, too, of my basic human need for personal time and quiet and space, and lead me to respect the personal needs that others also have. Amen. http://angelwinks.net/images/general...ralpod1295.jpg http://angelwinks.net/images/thought...ghtpod1165.jpg http://angelwinks.net/images/faithpod/faithpod52.jpg |
Let us pray: There are times, Lord, when we say we are hungry but we really have no idea what real hunger is, and the desperation that goes with it. We even tend to waste food. We ask you, Lord, to inspire us to discover the real priorities in life so that we may live simply so that others may simply live. Amen. http://angelwinks.net/images/iq/qcbeeheart325.jpg So often those feelings of hunger are not for the body, but the mind and spirit. http://angelwinks.net/images/thought...ughtpod954.jpg http://angelwinks.net/images/faithpod/faithpod53.jpg |
Let us pray: Lord Jesus, the Bible reminds us of the dignity and equality of all people, and you call us to love our neighbours as we love ourselves. At the beginning of your ministry you read out loud in the synagogue of Nazareth from the prophet, Isaiah, saying: “I have been sent to give liberty to the captives.” Today we will meet people who are held captive in different ways by being treated unfairly, or abused, taken for granted, overworked, looked down upon. Be with us, Lord, that we may help to bring freedom today by giving respect and support and encouragement. Amen. http://angelwinks.net/images/thought...ughtpod955.jpg Love this picture, it on on one of my sites, before they got deleted and the servers closed down. It didn't have this caption on it. http://angelwinks.net/images/faithpod/faithpod54.jpg |
Let us pray: Lord God, I thank you for your gifts to me of skills, talents, and abilities. May I use them to the best of my ability and grow as the person you want me to be. Amen. http://angelwinks.net/images/kidpod/kidpod1150.jpg http://angelwinks.net/images/thought...ughtpod956.jpg DAILY CARD OF FAITH http://angelwinks.net/images/faithpod/faithpod55.jpg |
