Please join me as I pray to Jesus, The Holy Spirit, and God for those in the path of Hurricane Dorian and everyone who takes a moment to pause and think about how we are doing as a world community of human beings…
Once again we do not think about what we have failed to do in our lifetime and over the many generations since Jesus came and showed us how to love, have mercy, forgive one another, and help one another: “Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do. They divided his garments by casting lots.”—Luke 23:34
We like to think that we are all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good but we are not. You are God and we are not. Forgive us for worshiping any human being including ourselves: “You shall not bow down to any other god, for the Lord—“Jealous” his name—is a jealous God.”—Exodus 34:14
We are doing the best that we can. We know that You—God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit—are within us. We are created by You in Your Image to do the best that we can, given what we have. Help us to come out of denial, justification, and rationalization to see our Splendid Spiritual Selves. Help us to not only help those that live around us and look like us but to reach out beyond today, to demand that our leaders inspire us and see a world community of not only human beings but also spiritual beings first, and be blind to country, state, city, and local divisions when it comes to doing Your Will. No matter our religious beliefs, spiritually we have One God.
“What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I told you, ‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”—John 3:6-8
Forgive us Oh Creator and my Brothers in Love and Spirit for I have not proactively shared my wealth with those that need it in other parts of America and the World. We are building second homes while those in the path of this hurricane do not have a home that will withstand the storm even though collectively we know how to build a home that will keep us safe in hurricanes.
Help us to ride on Your Spiritual Arrows, on Your Wings of Eagles to Spiritual Freedom as a bridge over the Free Will Trough. Help us to rise when fallen and immediately clean ourselves off like the lamb that we are made in Your Image and not like the sow who gets use to the muck and mud of Satan’s life. Awaken me please once again!
“Therefore, from the day we heard this, we do not cease praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding to live in a manner worthy of the Lord, so as to be fully pleasing, in every good work bearing fruit and growing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with every power, in accord with his glorious might, for all endurance and patience, with joy giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light. He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”—Colossians 1:9-14
Remember and judge us on the good things that we have done in our lives and not just the sins we have committed.
“Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your Sight; so You are right in Your Verdict and justified when You Judge.”—Psalm 51:4
“For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”—Hebrews 8:12).
“This is probably the saddest and worst day for me to address the Bahamian people,” Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said Sunday. “We are facing a hurricane that we have never seen in The Bahamas. Please pray for us.”
“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, brought us to life with Christ… For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so no one may boast. For we are His Handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance, that we should live in them.”—Ephesians 2:4-5; 8-10
Look for the rainbow after the storm and remember God’s love and covenant with us!
Genesis 9:13-15: “I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh…”
A prayer for those in the path of Hurricane Dorian and everyone who takes a moment to pause and think about how we are doing as a world community of human beings… submitted with Joy and Gratitude for the Good News!
