Today

I'm praying for:

Peace throughout the world, our country,

our communities and our hearts.

and protection from all who seek to harm us.

Our leaders and teachers ~

and all those who hold positions of authority.

For families ~ those who are rejoicing

and

those that are suffering.

My husband

for

our life together as husband a wife and as parents

My children

may they grow in love, faith, wisdom and strength.

And for all children ~ for they are all blessings

And I am giving thanks for all the answered prayers, unanswered prayers and gifts in my life.

Peace and prayers to you today and always!

Something to think about Sundays

"Always be joyful; pray constantly; and for all things give thanks; this is the will of God for you in Jesus Christ." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

Thank and praise God when life is going well. Appreciate him for what he has given. It is easy to thank God under these circumstances, but are we able to praise God when things are hard? Are we able to pray and still praise God when life feels unfair and upside down? God has a plan for our lives and we have to learn to trust in him; to walk with him. If we choose this, we find peace.
