Our Daily Prayer for Monday - Geraldine Lancey

“For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.”

Psalm 62:5-6 ESV

Scripture and Prayer submitted by Geraldine Lancey -

Theme: "In the Waiting"

Dear Father,

Winter was a terrifying time for our ancestors in the Northern Hemisphere.

Lives were claimed by illness, hunger and exposure to the elements.

Anxiously people waited and counted the days until spring returned.

Thus, the Solstice, the day when the planet Earth turns its axis and the sun begins to regain its strength each day.

Rich with symbols of light, reminding people that the darkness and darkest of times are before the dawn.

The light will return.  Prosperity and hope will come again.

Mary and Joseph heeded the words of their angelic visitors and journeyed to Bethlehem,

despite many dangers' to bring the child who became the hope for Christians everywhere, into this world.

The ancient Macabees fought; waiting to reclaim their temple with great toil and great odds against them.

As our ancestors, in their fashion of waiting in a cyclical faith that wintry times will pass.


We also must wait with faith that the God who loves us, will come to bring prosperity and hope again,

quenching our thirst in his grace and in His friendship.

Amen

“Solo en Dios, alma mía, espera en silencio, porque de él es mi esperanza. Sólo él es mi roca y mi salvación, mi fortaleza; No seré conmovido”.

Tema: "En la espera"

Querido padre,

El invierno fue una época aterradora para nuestros antepasados en el hemisferio norte.

Las enfermedades, el hambre y la exposición a los elementos se cobraron vidas.

La gente esperaba ansiosamente y contaba los días hasta que regresara la primavera.

Así, el Solsticio, el día en el que el planeta Tierra gira su eje y el sol comienza a recuperar fuerza cada día.

Rico en símbolos de luz, que recuerdan a la gente que la oscuridad y los tiempos más oscuros llegan antes del amanecer.

La luz volverá. La prosperidad y la esperanza volverán.

María y José escucharon las palabras de sus visitantes angelicales y viajaron a Belén,

a pesar de muchos peligros, traer a este mundo al niño que se convirtió en la esperanza de los cristianos de todas partes.

Los antiguos macabeos lucharon; esperando recuperar su templo con gran esfuerzo y grandes probabilidades en su contra.

Como nuestros antepasados, en su manera de esperar con fe cíclica que pasarán los tiempos invernales.

También debemos esperar con fe que el Dios que nos ama, vendrá a traer prosperidad y esperanza nuevamente,

saciando nuestra sed en su gracia y en su amistad.

Amén

Our Daily Prayer for Wednesday - Joyce Vickers

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

John 14:27

Our God who is above all things. Without You Lord we are nothing. You are our Savior, our Redeemer, our Healer, our Deliverer. We exalt & magnify you Father.

Father we thank you for all you have done for us. We thank you because it is you who wakes us up every morning. It is You who guides our every footstep. It is You who protects us from dangers seen and unseen.

So many things are happening in these days Father. People are distracted by the circumstances in their lives. It could be illnesses, fear, anxiety and so many other things. So many times Father people are turning to the world for help and peace. Your word says You leave your peace with us. Thank you for your peace Father. Your peace is eternal and the world’s peace is temporal.

So, Father when situations come into our lives, let us not worry or be distracted. Let us not take our focus off you. Remind us Father that the peace of God which passes all understanding, shall keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

In the Matchless Name of Jesus we pray

Amen
