Prayer List
Open unto me, light for my darkness
Open unto me, courage for my fear
Open unto me, hope for my despair
Open unto me, peace for my turmoil
Open unto me, joy for my sorrow
Open unto me, strength for my weakness
Open unto me, wisdom for my confusion
Open unto me, forgiveness for my sins
Open unto me, tenderness for my toughness
Open unto me, love for my hates
Open unto me, Your Self for myself
Lord, Lord, open unto me!
Poem by Howard Thurman
This week we pray for:
Bob Iams and his family
Prayers for Bob and his family as they grieve the death of his twin brother Bill.
Debbie Hostetler
Prayers for Debbie as she prepares for cancer surgery to have her stomach removed on March 5th. Please also hold the children of Debbie and Gabe, Isaac and Jasmine in prayers as they await test results to determine whether they carry the same gene for this specific type of stomach cancer.
Judy Seaman, friend of the Gayle and David Noble
Prayers for Judy who will have back surgery on Wednesday. She has been suffering from a severe bacterial infection in her spine.
Ferenc (Francis), Pastor Enikő's father
Continued prayers for my dad Ferenc. He is responding well to the treatment for his pneumonia and will have further tests on Wednesday to assess how much longer he needs to be hospitalized.
Prayers of gratitude for those of you who have generously contributed to our Souper Bowl of Caring drive, which continues through February. This year your gifts will support the warming center run by the Salvation Army.
Prayers for all affected by the recent ice and snowstorms--many who are left without power and those who do not have a safe place to call home during these extremely cold days. We pray for emergency workers and all who make sure that our roads are clean and safe.
We pray for the new administration and for healing along our many societal chasms. May we all seek ways to work for the common good!
Continued prayers for those affected by the Covid pandemic. We pray for healthcare workers and for the smooth and speedy administration of the vaccines. Let us continue to be vigilant and do our part in keeping everybody safe by wearing masks and staying at home.
May we be mindful especially of those who have lost loved ones, who are alone, without support and care during these days. Let us sow seeds of hope and joy through small acts of kindness and love!
