TO WANT, TO HAVE, TO DO

"We spend most of our lives conjugating three verbs: to want, to have and to do. But none of these verbs has any ultimate significance until it is transcended by and included in the fundamental verb ~ to be." ~ Evelyn Underhill

Grief

Grief should be the Instructor of the wise.
Sorrow is Knowledge: they who know the most
Must mourn the deepest.

~ Lord Byron

The Power of Prayer

The Lord hears good people when they cry out to him, and He saves them from all their troubles.

Psalm 34:17
 

Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is discord, unity.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is error, truth.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is sadness, joy.

Where there is darkness, light.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled, as to console,

To be understood, as to understand,

To be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

..... Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Prayer Request

Today is Stephen's birthday. He is 39 years old, and he is the father of three special-needs children. He has been unemployed since September 2008, but thankfully he has found a new job that he will begin in April. Until then, he is in need of money to buy groceries for his family and a bus pass to get to his new job. Your prayers and support would be greatly appreciated.

Prayer of Jabez

And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,

"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your hand would be with me,
and that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain!"

So God granted him what he requested.

1 Chronicles 4:10
