4-24-23 - Prayer

Heavenly Father, I remember a time we looked at the murder of Abel by his brother Cain with horror as family didn’t typically treat each other with such hate, but our world has changed so much that it is becoming commonplace. I can’t imagine how bad Sodom and Gomorrah had become that You saw the need to destroy them and almost all their population. I guess it was worse than it is now, but it is so hard to believe. Please help us share love for one another in this world. The best way we can do that is to teach love for You. I know I don’t always share love the way I wish I did, or the way I’m sure You would like because of the rush and hustle of life. Help me slow down and treat others with love. The hardest time is when we aren’t treated with love and respect and I know that is when I tend to be short with people, and I need to show love even when that isn’t what is shared with me. Help me to love in all situations and not react in kind. Help me react as Jesus would, with love, respect, mercy, and grace. Help me show Jesus to the world, even when I don’t feel like it. Help me move past how I feel to what I know. I know YOU are love. Help me remember that when that isn’t how I feel.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen!

In Jesus’ name. Amen! It is

  July 20 –Genesis 47:13-22 Click on link to listen to content of this post: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/M2klJcYOABb Father God, help me be a person who shows concern for others to a point where I am uncomfortable. So often we are willing to help others, but not if it puts us out or causes us work. Help me love unconditionally and act on that love. Joseph spent most of his life with Egyptians, but certainly not in comfort until the last years regarding the famine, but yet he grew to love them to a degree he worked to make their lives better. I pray Father that You help me to love like that. Help me remember to act on the love for others and be Jesus to those around me. In Jesus’ name. Amen! I find this so interesting. Joseph, not an Egyptian, sold into slavery, and imprisoned in Egypt for years because of an Egyptian who lied about him. But here he acted out of great concern for the Egyptians, basically saving their lives. Jospeh looked out for the welfare of
