In the Collect, for the first time in a long time, we acknowledge we are continually pray to God, asking Him for what WE want. Yet, how oft do we listen to Him when He responds with what we need? Very much like in our society today, too many Jews only cared about not violating the Law, not about the spirit of the Law which was intended. People today have a tendency to want to be a law abiding citizen and not break any laws. They forget about the spirit of the laws. In the Gospel, Jesus helped a deaf man with an impediment of speech. It is a parable in of itself. The deaf man is a stand in for us. We who cannot seemingly hear God’s commands, or won’t.
There are always a lot of people who need your prayers, today is no exception. Please start with Billie, Tricia, Shamu, Laurie and move on from there.
Prayer List Notice – If you have someone on the prayer list and their needs have changed, please let us know. We’d like to update our prayers to reflect the need and most important to give thanks!
There is a lot going on in the world right now, it is tempting to just curl up in a ball and hope it goes away,. It won't and God put us here on earth to make a difference. If you do not know what to do, ask Him. He will send you instructions via the Holy Ghost. You can make a difference with your actions. For it is by their actions they are known.
Have an EPIC Week!
Godspeed,
