Emergencies

Lord, please help those in the Northeast US who have lost power in frigid weather. Please enable my brother's family to keep warm! Father, this makes me think of those in war zones who have disrupted power and supplies, or whose homes may even have been bombed. Please, Lord, have mercy on the war-torn countries. Israel and Palestine. Ukraine and Russia. Ecuador, embroiled in drug wars and gangs. Please bring them physical aid, but also draw them to Yourself so that they might know You. Send hands of compassion to ease their suffering.

Growing in Love

I pray that our will grow in love. Some love is easy–the happy child, The attentive sweetheart. Lord, please help us love the step-kid who resents. The spouse who is sick and helpless, When he longs to be the protector And squirms with being the protected. Make our love as sturdy as a fortress. As deep and wide as the ocean. Make our love more like Yours.
