WHISNews21 Prayer Line and thoughts for yesterday, today and tomorrow by Marty Martel

Thank the Lord the cold frigid weather is not as cold today, but still stay warm and be careful if you must go out today, which I know many of us have to do.  A special prayer for all of the homeless people, and once again our pets that we love. 

Prayer for God to Abide with Us

Dear Lord, as I come before you this morning, my spirit is filled with thanks

That you have given me a life and filled it with meaning.

Knowing that you have a purpose for me is such a gift as I cannot express;

Even when the world or my own thoughts fill me with feelings of worthlessness,

I can turn to you and know, fully certain, that you are in charge

And have filled my existence with meaning and purpose I cannot fully understand.

Lord Christ, you promised that if we love you and obey your teaching,

You and the Father will make your home with us; I declare my love for you;

And there is nothing I want more than to have you live with me, present in my life.

Help me to follow your teaching in every way; for you have given us grace,

That by your death and resurrection, we may be perfect before you.

Accept my love and be with me, today and always, I pray;

Not by my merit, but by your grace, oh Christ, oh one true God:

Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Amen
