Blessings,

Yes, weep and grieve until the Spirit is poured
    down on us from above
And the badlands desert grows crops
    and the fertile fields become forests.
Justice will move into the badlands desert.
    Right will build a home in the fertile field.
And where there’s Right, there’ll be Peace
    and the progeny of Right: quiet lives and endless trust.
My people will live in a peaceful neighborhood—
    in safe houses, in quiet gardens.
The forest of your pride will be clear-cut,
    the city showing off your power leveled.
But you will enjoy a blessed life,
    planting well-watered fields and gardens,
    with your farm animals grazing freely.
Isaiah 32:16-20 (MSG)

The prayer requests from Thursday’s Love in Action meal are below. Thank you for your ongoing prayers for this ministry and our guests.

Blessings,
Erika

The people brought children to Jesus, hoping he might touch them. The disciples shooed them off. But Jesus was irate and let them know it: “Don’t push these children away. Don’t ever get between them and me. These children are at the very center of life in the kingdom. Mark this: Unless you accept God’s kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you’ll never get in.” Then, gathering the children up in his arms, he laid his hands of blessing on them.
Mark 10:14-16 (MSG)

-- Please pray for my father John C.R., that his health keeps up for he is a good man and 91 years old. God bless him. For me, Brian R. I am having surgery on June 23 for colon cancer.
-- Thank you Lord for all the good things You do. Help me to be strong enough to change my life. Help me and my boyfriend to overcome our obstacles with homelessness and addiction.
-- I would like a permanent place to live - all I want for my birthday this year. That my family and friends do not get sick. Find storage for my personal possessions before June 19.
-- As I come to You in prayer with a humble, open heart so that I can remove jealousy and hate from my heart so that I can be happy and open to love. Although the process to meet Paul may not be sped up, I pray for his walk with You, his ability to hear Your voice and his will to bend toward what You want. I pray for Paul’s emotional walk, physical being and that he break free of unhealthy addictions, that career be reestablished where God wants him. I pray for his ministry, for his preparation, for his identity as a man. I pray that Paul not be distracted by counterfeit women. I pray that Paul see me the way You my Lord wants to be seen. I pray You tell him about me, that you show me how to pray for him. I want to be filled with the love of Jesus. That you show me how to love and be happy. In Jesus name, Amen.

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
   He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
   he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths

Blessings,
Erika

Open your mouths with thanks!
    Sing praises to the Eternal!
    Strum the harp in unending praise to our God
Who blankets the heavens with clouds,
    sends rain to water the thirsty earth,
    and pulls up each blade of grass upon the mountainside.
He opens His hands to feed all the animals
    and scatters seed to nestlings when they cry.
He takes no pleasure in the raw strength of horses;
    He finds no joy in the speed of the sprinter.
But the Eternal does take pleasure in those who worship Him,
    those who invest hope in His unfailing love.
Psalm 147:7-11 (VOICE)

I know that you will not speak to me until I am baptized, but I am hoping that the person who prays over this will move you to either speak to me or answer my prayer about Paul.
