Call to prayer, please come and pray with us! Bless you for your time!!!

  


 Well another day is coming to a close and what a rewarding day it has been, God guided me this morning into something that I did not even realize was weighing heavy on my heart, after following his lead I was able to overcome something that was not right in my heart. This evening I feel renewed and I feel so at peace in my heart! Thank you Heavenly Father for pointing out to me the need to release!
      Tonight I come to you and ask that you will pray with me, that you will take moments to pray for peace on earth, to pray for our soldier who are on the war front to ensure safety for us, for our government that is in such need of putting God back into the equation, when we leave God out, how can we overcome, how can we grow and flourish, just like a flower bed, when we take nurturing and care we get an overgrowth of weeds which eventually kill off even the most beautiful flowers. Pray with me for the broken hearted, for the terminally ill, for the ones who suffer depression, for those who are dealing with health issues, for those who have lost their way, Father I come to you tonight in plea for each of us, for we all suffer some form of problem we all need you Father, we need to you hold us when we are scared, we need for you to carry us when we are weak, we need you to direct us when we have lost our way, we need for you to deliver us when you call us home, we need for you to continue to love us. I ask these favors in the beautiful name of our Savior jesus Christ, amen and amen again. I love you Lord and so appreciate all the blessings you shower me with, I vow to live each day seeking only your favor and refuse to hold anger in my heart ever again. Thank you so much for the lesson today and thank you for pointing out to me where I was lacking and what I needed to do to correct it.
    
In the Garden of Gethsemane, our Lord gave us a moving example (as depicted in this painting above) how we can offer up our anxieties to God while trusting in His will. Knowing full well, and dreading, all the pain He was about to endure within a matter of hours he said “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt” (Matt 26:39)



In prayer we can ask God to give us that kind of grace and strength to trust that He indeed will bring us out of the valley of the shadow of death, stronger and in better shape to reflect His glory and assure our place in Heaven with Him than we were before.
As He showed us so strikingly with His resurrection, evil doesn’t get the last word with the Word made flesh, as St. John called Jesus in his Gospel (John 1:14)!


Don’t be afraid to pray to God for relief of your burdens. If relief is not in sight, ask Him for the graces you need to endure in these troubled times. Remember as well to keep your eyes on the prize: heaven, where “God will wipe way every tear…and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore” (Rev 21:4).


Also, feel free to ask for prayers for yourself or others. (and tell your friends about it as well!)
