Prayer Requests 12/17/15

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

This week LIA hosted the annual Homeless Memorial, a candlelight ceremony in remembrance of our 74 homeless friends who passed away locally over the past year. As each of our friends’ names was called, an angel ornament with their name was placed on the tree. Sadly, each of the past several years has seen a significant increase in the number of homeless people lost in the Fort Lauderdale area. 



We thank God for these precious lives, and we grieve their loss. Father, be with all those who loved them. Please help us lovingly care for all of your children. Please help us be your hands and feet in this world so that no one should die alone.

Peace and Love,
Erika

He came to Nazareth where he had been reared. As he always did on the Sabbath, he went to the meeting place. When he stood up to read, he was handed the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. Unrolling the scroll, he found the place where it was written,

God’s Spirit is on me;
    he’s chosen me to preach the Message of good news to the poor,
Sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and
    recovery of sight to the blind,
To set the burdened and battered free,
    to announce, “This is God’s year to act!”

He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the assistant, and sat down. Every eye in the place was on him, intent. Then he started in, “You’ve just heard Scripture make history. It came true just now in this place.”

O Eternal, our Lord,
    Your majestic name is heard throughout the earth;
Your magnificent glory shines far above the skies.
From the mouths and souls of infants and toddlers, the most innocent,
    You have decreed power to stop Your adversaries
    and quash those who seek revenge.
When I gaze to the skies and meditate on Your creation—
    on the moon, stars, and all You have made,
I can’t help but wonder why You care about mortals—
    sons and daughters of men—
    specks of dust floating about the cosmos.

Thunder in the desert!

Make the road straight and smooth,

Release your heart’s joy in sweet music to the Eternal.
  When the upright passionately sing glory-filled songs to Him, everything is in its right place.
Worship the Eternal with your instruments, strings offering their praise;
  write awe-filled songs to Him on the 10-stringed harp.
Sing to Him a new song;
  play each the best way you can,
  and don’t be afraid to be bold with your joyful feelings.
For the word of the Eternal is perfect and true;
  His actions are always faithful and right.
He loves virtue and equity;
