Thunder in the desert!
    “Prepare for God’s arrival!
Make the road straight and smooth,
    a highway fit for our God.
Fill in the valleys,
    level off the hills,
Smooth out the ruts,
    clear out the rocks.
Then God’s bright glory will shine
    and everyone will see it.
    Yes. Just as God has said.”

Blessings,

Let every king on earth bow down before him
    and every nation be in his service.
For he will rescue the needy when they ask for help!
    He will save the burdened and come to the aid of those who have no other help.
He offers compassion to the weak and the poor;
    he will help and protect the lives of the needy!
He will liberate them from the fierce sting of persecution and violence;
    in his eyes, their blood is precious.

Prayer Requests 12/4/14

The prayer requests from Thursday's Love in Action meal are below.

Next Thursday, December 11th, Love in Action is hosting a Memorial Service in remembrance of the homeless friends we have lost over the past year. A candlelight ceremony will be held at 5:30 p.m. at HOPE Central (1100 N. Andrews Ave., Fort Lauderdale) followed by a shared meal and time of community. Please join us if you are able and keep this event in your prayers. 

The first section of this week's prayers lists the names and ages of the 59 homeless friends we lost locally in 2014. Sadly, this number has more than doubled over the previous year. 

We thank God for these precious lives. Father, be with all those who grieve their loss. Please help us lovingly care for all of your children.

Thank you for praying with us!

Blessings,
Erika
