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

Blessings,

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.”
