Malachi 3 ~ prepare The Way †

Over the hills and through the woods, to Grandmother's House we go. Song!

This was a big song with Grandmother's generation, my mother and my memories.

Father, Abba,

No one has been untouched during Covid years. We all gather together knowing each of us have seen life change. And we begin in this recovery to have kindness for one another. Be with us to full recovery in all in body, mind and spirit.

This Post took four hours due to extreme interference. We pray whatever isn't right or good will be placed in the care of Jesus and end permanently.

All that Your Abundant Life would encircle, provide and encourage.

Dwell in us and those we love. Let the circle of increasing Love enfold the entire Nation and Your Good Creation. The Earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.

In the Highest Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Today, we had a Memorial Service for my mother, Anne Anderson, in the Church she joined when my parents married in 1956. St. Michael and All Angels, Episcopal Church, Dallas, Texas. Seven decades saw my mother in vastly different aspects of life. And returning to the Church, as Dallas has vastly changed, from 300,000 people to a land of Skyscrapers, is still astonishing. 

To walk in to St. Michael's and All Angel's Church, hear the Children's Choir practicing for Christmas, seeing the unchanging beauty, white vestments, Saints, is to feel spectacular comfort in a changing world. To feel spring will arrive after Christmas is Celebrated and Hope will become a New Direction for us All.

Heaven has Horses, here, and in Revelation, with other references in Scripture.

Interesting, these horses are faster than what we produce.

The Sermon was honest and loving and completely blessed. 

Sorrow was overcome. We read passages about God overcoming Plague. So many aspects of Plague in our today, for all of us. And to know and believe and understand in the beauty of God's Loving Church, God will Win. And in this Glory, of His Love, we will all be Blessed. Glimpsing Abundant Life.

I felt and understood, this day so filled with emotion, so much better to pray with Father Greg. To hear the Music, to see the Holiness, to participate. To be filled with Love. To have hope and encouragement. This was to have encouragement in Community. The Communion of Saints.

This Celebration of Life created a Joy in Overcoming. Finding Plague doesn't win, God Wins. And will continue to Win. Continue to find Life worth Celebrating for not the sweet talk, but the meaningful path made by plowing with Courage and Hope. Determination and encouragement not to turn back from the plow. This was a spectacular Celebration of Life. Thanks to Father Greg and his heart telling of Jesus' Heart.

My family, like much of the Nation, covers different states. And we all know this isn't geography and is. To grow past our loving parental marriage, plunged into alcoholism and divorce, is to grow far apart to recover. Not unusual with the United States, openly understands substance abuse is 1 in 3 adults. Inside this situation, we also know the prayer life of our Nation is vast and personal. About 2/3rds of all of this Nation believe they know of answered prayers only God could provide. A Miracle, a Work of God. God displaying His Heart. Telling us like the days of Jesus, Grace up Grace, alive and sailing to His Work, God Himself is still upholding the fallen, the weak, the hopeful and the unaware. Blissfully, we know and believe and proclaim,  God Loves to Encourage, make strong, embolden, comfort the world in Jesus Christ.

We have had a small rebirth. Wounds are healed. This Post is about my family. With the way being a little better, I thought I'd share this with you. Not that we are perfect or have grabbed hold of perfection. We are going on and hope to share some better news with you.

To gather as family, we have to do as God has done. And lay down the warfare of easy to do humanity. And finally, we find ourselves, not only willing but able to be on the High Road. To have done like the Prodigal Son, found time and memories with love and encouragement have made space for a basic ingredient - Love.

Ever just the same 

Ever a surprise

Ever as before

Ever just as sure

As the sun will rise 

Tale as old as time 

Tune as old as song 

Bitter sweet and strange 

Finding you can change 

Learning you were wrong 

Certain as the sun 

Rising in the east 

Tale as old as time

Dinner the night before Mother's Memorial was like most pre-memorials. 

We dug out our, "what is hard to discuss." And surrounded this with the victories and hardships of four generations and touched on six generations. My grandmother Anita, b.1898, crossed Washington Parrish, Louisiana in two covered wagons to visit the beloved Grandmother Melissa. 

We talked about the history of Great Grandfathers who had good, worthy, and personality accomplishments and one home-grown book by Grandmother Anita about her Pappa. Churches were built. Libraries created. A way forward for the family men to find employment and experience. But the women set the stage for the conversations and meals. Grandmother wrote a book of her Pappa. But he died in his early forties and his wife lived to be 100. 

Lena, my grandmother's mother, passed on at age 100, was known to be relentlessly gardening, sewing and organizing the ten local adult children to have a noon luncheon for 20 ish people. For ... 62 years. No kidding.  I asked my mother if she loved her grandmother. She replied she did, but wasn't sure Lena knew all the names of the 20 grandchildren.  Lena had 12 children, 3 in her forties because the first daughter died suddenly at age 2, from strep throat. None of the other children would die. Pretty amazing. Lena and my great-grandfather quit having children because my grandmother's amazing and loving father passed on. Lena carried on with systems of organization and a great deal of determination.

My mother and grandmother would return to summers from Dallas to Franklinton and stay all summer.

Now Melissa, (don't you love ageless first names?!) was the one they all clamored to visit. Babies were born to travel to Melissa Burch. Maxine, died in 2010, discussing Great-grandmother Burch. Cousins clamor for a photo of the pretty house from 1840. Both Lena and her mother Melissa generate - Love. This was holding up all the children. And my grandmother grew from this basic ingredient - Love.

Grandmother Anita came over, we all watched men land on the Moon. On a Console TV. And Grandmother lived the indignity of not being given her just respect due to aging. And looking back on this hardship, her hard won life was her Victory. Given by her faith and determination in Jesus Christ. 

Then our Reverend Wm Tate died in 1978, and the family seemed to splinter into 'do what you feel.' Some parts of the family have seen each other a dozen times in decades. Suddenly, in Pandemic, we needed to find out how the quilt of family, distress, Victories and time held us up in God and together.

And as we found shared memories and understanding forged family, we found new tragedies created need for understanding and Love. Now, with this shared uptick, we then had fall out fights. Some were ridiculous. We had to maintain our boundaries and not roll over to be mushy. Nor uncaring. We had to find new paths instead of the dog worn out easily ruts. Jesus wasn't kidding when He said turn the other cheek. We don't just love ourselves, we love others, and, then we love ourselves again. Jesus said prayer is going to a friend at midnight and being persistent.  Not oozing in fake halos. Finding out why the friend was going to help the uncomfortable request in a time of comfort. The Scriptures aren't platitudes, the Scriptures are telling us of the Human condition of suffering from and for one another. The prayer at midnight was about Hope. Being turned down. Even for a loaf of bread.

Boundaries. No boundaries on earth are the basic geometric shapes. Boundaries instead are shaped like the proverbial bear hunt we have all sung about. Just like the statistics tell us about life.  The New Testament tells us, all, if we are slaves, to find life in our slavery. Slavery to employment, miserliness, unfriendliness, hard work, unemployment, scant friends and the need for meaningful life. Boundaries, facts, and Living Word of God.

Even building to my mother's memorial, in short weeks, we have had: 4 sets of Covid to vaccinated people, employment change, victory, challenges, frank sharing of real life, a possible change in address and state. A medical ICU stay. The new understanding of depth of feeling. A major and permanent rift. A rift allowed to have the right of way. A healing of a misunderstanding and end of a rift. Boundaries are being - forged. And with Love - we are going to cover a multitude of miffy and of permanent to find solutions.

Malachi 3

“Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts. 2 But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the Lord.^{[and they will belong to the Lord in bringing their offers of righteousness]} 

4 Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord as in the days of old and as in former years.

5 “Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts.


6 “For I the Lord do not change; 

Therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. 7 From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. But you say, ‘How shall we return?’ 8 Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions. 9 You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you. 10 Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. 11 I will rebuke the devourer^{[Probably a name for some crop-destroying pest]} for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the Lord of hosts. 12 Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.

13 “Your words have been hard against me, says the Lord. But you say, ‘How have we spoken against you?’ 14 You have said, ‘It is vain to serve God. What is the profit of our keeping his charge or of walking as in mourning before the Lord of hosts? 15 And now we call the arrogant blessed. Evildoers not only prosper but they put God to the test and they escape.’”


16 Then those who feared the Lord spoke with one another. The Lord paid attention and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who feared the Lord and esteemed his name. 17 “They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, in the day when I make up my treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him. 18 Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him.


Behold, to be a land of delight, to be called blessed by the Lord of Hosts, to what shall we aspire?

We rely upon the Lord's gracious favor. His willingness to be forgiveness. His Steadfast Love and Mercy. As we stand on New Year's Eve, we willingly ask for the windows of heaven to open and pour down a blessing until there is no more need.

What kind of offering shall we give HIM? May the words of my lips and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing and acceptable to You, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Luke 18:13

The tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’

2 Kings 22:19

Because your heart was responsive and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I have spoken against this place and its people, that they would become accursed and laid waste, and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, 
I have heard you, declares the LORD.

1 Peter 3:4

Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.

How shall we approach the LORD. Isaiah wondered.

Jeremiah 31:3

The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: 

"I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness."

Micah 6:7-8

Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,

with ten thousands of rivers of oil?

Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,

the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”

He has told you, O man, what is good;

and what does the Lord require of you

but to do justice, and to love kindness,

and to walk humbly with your God?

1 Corinthians 7:35

I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.

Hebrews 10:23-25

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Acts 16:1-40

Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek. He was well spoken of by the brothers at Lystra and Iconium. Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions that had been reached by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem. So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily ...

Galatians 6:9

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

“They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, in the day when I make up my treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him."

God Himself Bless, Sustain, Comfort, Guide

Jesus Christ Live in us.

Help us to seek You first.

Amen!

Isaiah 45:8-10 ~ Great before the Lord †

Lamentations 3:21-23 

 This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

A day to God is thousands of years, Peter teaches us in the Living Word of God. And you've probably considered if Almighty God gets tired of families who tire, grow old and go to meet the Lord.  Moses assures us instead of God's Love.

The Gospel of Matthew begins with Deuteronomy and such amazing love for His Beloved past their flaws and weariness.  A thousand generations. An Almighty God, upholding the Universe by the Power of His Word. Creation.

 Deuteronomy 7:9 

He continues to show his love and kindness through a thousand generations

Mark's Truth, or Gospel, begins with the Garden of Eden. Straight paths and cultivation, with Father God, who speaks with us in our garden journey. The Garden of Eden is offered, again, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Jesus Christ wants to save the world. God of many chances.

Mark 1 

 I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way”

 3 “a voice of one calling in the wilderness, 

‘Prepare the way for the Lord, 

 make straight paths for him.’”

 4 And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 

The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. 

Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

Luke 1 explains a failed Priest. Cursed not to have children, put in the queue, of average to serve the Lord in His Temple. Instead, Gabriel, who stands in the Presence of God, knows of the goodness of Zechariah and Elizabeth, his wife. The Good News of Jesus, and like Abraham, Sarah and Isaac, the fruitfulness of God surrounds them with answered prayers and a son. Past the flaws, sins, doubt and inadequacy of any one person. The Magnificence of God.

Luke 1

The angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, 15 for he will be great before the Lord.

John's Gospel explains the Salvation of God, prayers are heard, the clear understanding Jesus is the Messiah of God, Emmanuel. The Glory of God arrives. The Light explained of God's Nature in Genesis, all His Works and mercy, Light explained just as in Matthew 1. A circle of unending Love.

Judges 13:2-25

13 And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, so the Lord gave them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years.

2 There was a certain man of Zorah, of the tribe of the Danites, whose name was Manoah. And his wife was barren and had no children. 3 And the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, “Behold, you are barren and have not borne children, but you shall conceive and bear a son. 4 Therefore be careful and drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, 5 for behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. No razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb, and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Philistines.” 6 Then the woman came and told her husband, “A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome. I did not ask him where he was from, and he did not tell me his name, 7 but he said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. So then drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’”

8 Then Manoah prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent come again to us and teach us what we are to do with the child who will be born.” 9 And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field. But Manoah her husband was not with her. 10 So the woman ran quickly and told her husband, “Behold, the man who came to me the other day has appeared to me.” 11 And Manoah arose and went after his wife and came to the man and said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to this woman?” And he said, “I am.” 12 And Manoah said, “Now when your words come true, what is to be the child's manner of life, and what is his mission?” 13 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her be careful. 14 She may not eat of anything that comes from the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, or eat any unclean thing. All that I commanded her let her observe.”

15 Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, “Please let us detain you and prepare a young goat for you.” 16 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, “If you detain me, I will not eat of your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering, then offer it to the Lord.” 

(For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of the Lord.) 17 And Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, “What is your name, so that, when your words come true, we may honor you?” 

18 And the angel of the Lord said to him, “Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful?” 

19 So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering, and offered it on the rock to the Lord, to the one who works wonders, and Manoah and his wife were watching. 

Like Gideon, Second Chances. Identical to the father with his son, being healed by Jesus when none could heal. Jesus Christ standing with doubters, to heal and be merciful. Steadfast Love.

20 And when the flame went up toward heaven from the altar, the angel of the Lord went up in the flame of the altar. Now Manoah and his wife were watching, and they fell on their faces to the ground.

21 The angel of the Lord appeared no more to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of the Lord. 22 And Manoah said to his wife, “We shall surely die, for we have seen God.” 23 But his wife said to him, “If the Lord had meant to kill us, he would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering at our hands, or shown us all these things, or now announced to us such things as these.” 24 And the woman bore a son and called his name Samson. And the young man grew, and the Lord blessed him. 25 And the Spirit of the Lord began to stir him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

Fire and the Angel, explain Moses and the unconsumed Bush,

our hearts were suddenly warm near Jesus,

and the Fire of Acts 2, The Holy Spirit

Isaiah 45:8-10

Let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit, 

And righteousness spring up with it. I, the LORD, have created it. 

9"Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker-- An earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth! Will the clay say to the potter, 'What are you doing?' Or the thing you are making say, 'He has no hands '? 10"Woe to him who says to a father, 'What are you begetting?'


Luke 1

13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, 15 for he will be great before the Lord. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. 16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God, 

17 and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.”

18 And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” 19 And the angel answered him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news. 20 And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.” 

21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering at his delay in the temple. 

22 And when he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he kept making signs to them and remained mute. 23 And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home.

24 After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived




Luke 1

37 For nothing will be impossible with God.” 

38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” 

And the angel departed from her.


Psalm 37:3
Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

Abba, our God,

We have Your Word for the Child of God in us, we grow toward Jesus.


The Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 

Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.

Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. for I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We pray this blessing upon ourselves, our families, our friends, the People God has given. We pray for the health of those who pray for this. We pray for an easier Christmas and for things around us to halt in their brokenness and put on the harmony of Love.

We pray for the Nation. We rejoice around us in those in Good News. And believe God is in control of all things. We are covered in His mercy as we believe and put our lives in His Grace, Love and Mercy. We will look to Jesus, with hope. Amen.

God Himself Bless, Sustain, Comfort, Guide

Jesus Christ Live in us.

Help us to seek You first.

Amen!

Psalm 130 ~ in His Word I hope

 

Psalm 130

A Song of Ascents.

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!

2 O Lord, hear my voice!

Let your ears be attentive

to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,

O Lord, who could stand?

4 But with you there is forgiveness,

that you may be feared.

 5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,

and in His Word I hope 

6 my soul waits for the Lord

more than watchmen for the morning,

more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!

For with the Lord there is steadfast love,

and with Him is plentiful redemption.

8 And he will redeem Israel

from all his iniquities.

 After The Transfiguration, Jesus began working to help the father with the son and then taught the Disciples. It's very probably The Transfiguration was actually the 2 km Mount Tabor hike.

Regardless if you'd seen the Song of Ascents from the Southern Wall or the Entrance, you can be assured the music to the Ascending Psalm is going to have a range of musical notes.

We are all ascending.

 In faith, we say:

Isaiah 45:22-25
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, 

and there is none else.

Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, 

thou shalt be saved.

Philippians 2:10
At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth

We know God has plans for us, a Hope and Future. We grow concerned, all of us, every day, God plans for His Kingdom for Eternity and life isn't His Domain. God is our Ascent. In our soul, where we don't have a brain, and our memories and hopes truly live - God sends His assurance - Life is now.

Acts 13:15-16

15 After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent a message to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of encouragement for the people, say it.” 16 So Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said:

“Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen

Regardless if we consider the Entrance, the Southern Wall, Mount Tabor or Mount Arbel. Or regardless if we think of the fleeting High Notes or the refrain of the low notes - we are walking the Road to Emmaus.

Listening to Father God, we will have our hearts warm. Jesus is for you. God of Encouragement. Power in The Scriptures. Power in The Word of God.

Hebrews 12:10-15

10 For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. 11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

12 Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.

14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled

Ascending is certain

Abba, Father God,

You speak into our Hearts and Mind. 

To open the Scriptures is to find, the Word of God is alive.

Father God, Life forever more.

You give rest. Restoration and renewal.

We ask Your Willing blessings upon us,

May our Lord Father God bless us and keep us.

May our Lord Father God, make Your Face to shine upon us.

And be gracious to us.

Father God please lift Your countenance upon us, smile and give us Your peace.

We ask you to put the Name of Jesus Christ upon us, and we are Blessed of God.

Jesus Christ, pray for us, Speak Your Word, bring more Heaven to earth.

We ask Your Abundant and Flowing Blessings upon us. Keep us safe from disasters, quieten storms and keep the Oceans safe.

Help us to seek You first and Your Kingdom.

To Live Love, Joy and Peace. Uphold those we Love. We Trust You.

We ask for the virus to end and Joy in Recovery.

We pray for Your Word to be Spoken. Your help.

God Himself Bless, Sustain, Comfort, Guide

Jesus Christ Live in us.

Help us to seek You first.

Amen!
