Greetings Prayer
Warriors,
Two joined in love, sealed by
the sacrament of marriage, begin at the perfect ground zero. From here, as
their love blooms, a family springs forth and the real journey into the unknown
begins. Prayer, both theirs and yours,
sustains this journey, nourishing them.
At Thanksgiving, all come
together in celebration, recognizing the abundant fruits of the journey, especially
the blessing of children. We celebrate
those who walk with us on the journey: parents, siblings, in-laws, aunts,
uncles, cousins and friends. We gather
together to take part in earthly banquet..
But since all that is good come from above, we pause first to praise the
King of Kings; the One who blesses us, guides us, and sustains us.
Ask all present to participate.
Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
If we become impatient or annoyed by someone or something, let us meditate on scripture.
For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected when received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the invocation of God in prayer. 1 Timothy 4:4-5
Let us focus on our abundant blessings, so that only praise and thanks rise to the heavens.
Everything indeed is for you, so that the grace bestowed in abundance on more and more people may cause the thanksgiving to overflow for the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 4:15
Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for all of you. My Thanksgiving Prayer this week for marriages and each of you will be:
The LORD bless you and keep you! The LORD let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you! The LORD look upon you kindly and give you peace! Numbers 6:24-26
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
All thanks, praise, and glory to Christ the King, who blesses us with peace and joy! Pass it on!
