A Prayer For The Maui Wildfire Victims In light of the unimaginable horrors the people and their animals faced, let us pray for the victims of the most devastating wildfire in US history.  This has got to be one of the most difficult times in modern history for the islands, and the loss of life is simply stunning. But Jesus is here now and always to give sanctuary and mercy to those who have been affected.  Lord Jesus, Please bless the people and the animals who have perished in the fires that have overtaken them.  Please welcome them into your kingdom with open arms, free from pain and suffering.  Please offer peace and mercy to their surviving family members, and give them hope to live on in honor of their loved ones. Please share Your heavenly light with all to help us feel your presence in this trying time. In Your Holy name Jesus, Amen

God Can Work Through You, And Helping Others Helps You Time for a little story. I’m not really a superstitious person but I feel like my actions were a message to the universe and God that I want to help people in a more meaningful way, which partially led to my selection with my new employer.  About 3 weeks ago I was doing one of my string of 5 different routes in my career position at the USPS. I work in downtown Waterbury mostly. I have come across people who are living well and people who are struggling in this city.

A prayer for the victims of mass shootings, and why extremism and hate is evil and not aligned with the love of God

Extremism Can Only Be Fought With Love Lord Jesus, we pray for those who have met violent ends in these United States and abroad to the extremism and hatred of those who perpetrate mass shootings. Please bless the victims, the survivors, and their families as they grieve the horrors of this evil. Please allow them to see Your grace and love and kindness in the days to come. Any life lost to evil is an unthinkable crime. Please bless these families with unfailing love.   Even still, we pray that those who have had their hearts, minds, and souls, poisoned by this evil and violent rhetoric learn the true ways of God and love, and that evil doesn’t beget evil. The only way for the cycle of hate and violence to end, Lord, is for those who are poisoned to see Your Face and be cleansed in spirit while they still walk this Earth. Please show them the way of love so that they can learn to love again. In Your name we pray. Amen.  Extremism and Hate What is it about religion and belief...
