Week of Aug. 12 - 18, 2012

Dear Lord, You are amazing to declare such a promise to Your children! Your bond of love is unbreakable, unstoppable, and unconditional. We pray for each other to remember these words when we feel betrayed, lost, forgotten, or broken hearted. We will never be separated from Your love, but only saturated in Your love. Help us to embrace this truth with all of our mind, heart, and spirit. Thank You, Lord, that You care that much to extend Your hand of hope from heaven by way of our Savior, Jesus. We pray this in His holy name. Amen.


“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,
neither present nor the future, nor any powers,
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

(Romans 8:38-39)  NIV

Week of Oct. 30 - Nov. 5, 2011

Thank you, Lord, for sending us Your Son, Jesus. May all who live in Your grace and friendship be assured of eternal salvation, and achieve the holiness necessary to someday enter the joy of heaven. On the feasts of All Saints and All Souls, we thank you, Father, as we celebrate the mysteries of salvation. May we receive Your grace so that we can become holy and pleasing in Your sight, as to be numbered among Your saints. Have mercy on all the departed, that they may all behold Your glory and rest forever in Your eternal embrace. We ask all of this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

“For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.”

(1 Thessalonians 4:14; 1 Corinthians 15:22, NIV)
