And let us consider one another in
order to stir up love and good works...
Dear Holy Father,
You have said bless is the one who
makes the Lord their trust. You do not to respect the proud. Keep my
eyes from the things of the world. Call Your children nearer, keep
them from all forms of idolatry. May we rejoice that we may proclaim
the good news of righteousness, not only in the great assembly but to
the least of these. May we not restrain our lips Lord or conceal our
love for You but speak the truth of Your Holy Word. Father I pray You
will continue to knit Your precious sons and daughters together as a
cord of three strand is not easily broken. May Your people continue
to go with the multitudes into Your house, remembering the things
You have taught. May we spur each other on to do good works and love
on another. Recalling the teaching of Your gracious and merciful Son
Jesus Christ as He spoke about the good Samaritan who had compassion
on the man laying wounded and stripped of his belongings on the side
of the road. But Jesus You showed the greatest mercy for us forgiving
and blessing us with eternal life. Without contemplating the cost,
You just generously lavishing Your love on us poor, wounded and dying
souls on the sidewalk of life. Bless You for generously pouring out
oil to soothe our wounds and wine to disinfect us. Thank You Lord
Jesus for carrying us to the Fathers house and paying our fee for our
forever lodging. Lord Jesus may we live as You have live and love as
You love, following Your command to “Go and do likewise.” Lord
pour out Your Spirit to causing us to rise up and encourage one
another to do great things for Your kingdom and glory. Forgive me
Lord for the times I shut my heart to those in need. Have mercy on my
wretched soul. May we turn from our selfish instinct not to be like a
certain priest, or the Levite who saw the hurting and walk away doing
nothing. Open our eyes and ears Lord to hear even the faints cries of
those who are abused and neglected. Father I pray to not be a person
who just studies Your word and then goes about my daily rounds
unchanged. Open my heart Lord to give to those who have been trapped
by circumstances beyond their control. Anoint my lips to speak truth
in to those who consistently make poor choice and are baffled by the
out come. Thank You Lord for those whom You have sent into my life to
teach me how to make corrections and adjustments for better living.
Bless them for considering, loving and doing go work for me. Bless
You Jesus for You are brilliant, amazing and magnificent. In Your
name I give thanks and pray, Amen.
