July 21 - 27, 2013

Lord we praise Your Holy Name and thank You so much for all that You provide now on a daily basis including the air we breathe, how our hearts beat and our eyes see Your earthly glory! Bring us a special measure of protection over our lives until we see Your full glory in heaven. Please bless those who are in need today. Hear their prayers. Bring food to those who hunger and education, water and a place to live for those in desperate need. Bring faith, trust and hope to those in need of spiritual gifts in the precious Name of Jesus Christ.
 
Amen

“Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 
All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”
Luke 21:3-4 (NIV)

Heavenly Father, Most loving God, grant us the "elbow grace” to do the hard work of kneading Your kingdom into the societies of humankind that we serve. May we have strength and forbearance, the hope and hunger to humbly serve You in Jesus’ Holy Name. Amen.

"Again He asked, ‘What shall I compare the kingdom of God to?  It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough’.” 
(Luke 13:20-21)
