week of 8/25/13

Pray for those who diminish their own humanity by diminishing that of others.

Please hold me in your prayers this coming Friday when I return to the doctor for a pregnancy test. I am so hoping and praying for a positive result.  Thank you.

God, that I may open my hand and let go of what I’ve been holding onto so that you may refill my hands with blessings.

Gratitude for the love and grace of my partner when I get scared and push him away.

Lord, I give you my anxiety. Help me to trust the joy—the good—that you have given me. Thank you. Amen.

Oh Father, Please continue to point the way to Your Peace. Thank You!!!

Dear G-D, I still have not heard from my family, please watch over them, help me get through this week. I need you with me. Thank you, ME.

Today the sunlight comes through the big window in a particular way that makes the paper birds look like pieces of stained-glass color that have come loose to fly overhead. 

Today is a day of unexpected joy.

Today I feel like I fit.

Amen.

Thanks for the gentle reminders that so much journey is left and for the eyes to see it.

Please be with *****—she needs strength, courage and compassion.

Please be with ****** and her family as they try and move forward in sobriety.

Prayers for my friend **** who is going through a tough break-up and needs strength to move forward.

I have a big opportunity. Pray that I do well.

Thank you Lord. Your grace and generosity is given abundantly, it is our right to reach out and grab it—but we don’t?  I don’t know why. I wonder…but probably will never truly understand but that is ok we don’t have to. We think we don’t deserve it…there’s a catch but we do, and there isn’t. So thank you Lord for all of your love. Each and every single day of our life.

Give me the strength to combine creativity and success with humility.

I need help with anxiety, loneliness and trying to figure out life. Thank you. 

Please join me as I give God thanks for answered prayer….my new job!!

Freedom from the oppressive nature of my last job. Hope for a future and success in the new job. Please pray that God will use my gifts and work thru me in my new position.

Please pray for God’s grace and favor as my daughter seeks employment in NYC. Amen.

Dear God—

Help my authenticity to shine through while finding the discipline to do my professional work. Keep me safe and bring me home quickly.   

God may I have a fish  

I am persecuted as a white devil by a couple of black guys where I live (a group home). Yesterday I was attacked offsite by *****. I was bleeding from 2 sites. And I walk with a cane. Earlier in the day, he threw bleach on me challenging me all of the time.

p.s. I am 63 years old!
