Praying with a purpose
We can purposely sit down, in a certain chair, at a designated time –
with a heart and mind OPEN. To have an open heart and mind requires purpose.
We are, when it comes down to it, mere mortals.
We dare not tell God what to do.
We can ask, but God knows what we need before we ask,
and besides our children for whom we pray are responsible for themselves before God.
We can ask for guidance. Then we just need to listen, pick up the cues, really believe!
And have the courage to respond. And have the grace to see God at work in the most incredible ways.
you also join in helping us by your prayers,
so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many.
2 Corinthians 1:11
This week we pray for our Pacific neighbours on Guadalcanal in the Solomons Islands.
We hold all our sisters and brothers in our mind’s eye and heart’s care, especially those suffering domestic violence.
We remember the Provincial President, Pamela Obana, thanking God for her gifts and faith.
