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.

Mental Help

Heavenly Father, God of all comfort, please heal our broken places. Show us where You are working even though we feel alone. please help the schoolkids and teachers and workers that no one feels like an island. i keep thinking about Jesus saying, "a smoking flax He will not quench; a broken reed He will not break." If I can ease someone's pain, set the broken bone, carry the backpack for awhile, show me. please give me the mental energy to do so. You have filled my cup, Lord, and Im grateful beyone words!

First Day of School

 Lord, please help all the kids loading up their backpacks and heading out the door.  Please bless the teachers with empathy and stamina.  Help parents to choose wisely in words and preparation. Please intervene those who don't have choices, who aren't allowed an education.  Father, as VIPkid closes, I ask you favors for China.  For the students and ordinary people, I ask You to spread Your wings over them and draw them to You.  As Afghanistan succumbs to the Taliban, please protect the innocents.

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.
