Prayer Concerns

Lift up in prayer the people who are in nursing
homes or are shut-ins. Continue to pay them a visit or send a note.
Offer a prayer for members and friends who are
under the Great Physician's care.
Continue to pray for strengthening, nurturing,
equipping, and renewing for tasks in the church and the world.
Remember to thank God for Answered Prayers!
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred,
let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt,
faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not
seek so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to
understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we
are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen
