God's Light

Matthew 5:14-16

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁴ “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

The Light of God before me.
The Light of God behind me.
The Light of God above me.
The Light of God beside me.
The Light of God within me.

From the Prayer of St. Patrick

Much love & light ~ Virginia

Prayer for Adult Children

“Father, in the name of Jesus, we bring our adult children before the Throne of Grace. First of all, we ask you to forgive us for the times we have prayed for them with selfish motives, and hindered your answers to prayer. Forgive us for our self-righteous attitude. It wasn’t too long ago that we were mired in that old stagnant life of sin...but you embraced us with immense mercy and with your incredible love. O, LORD, remember Your covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. According to Your covenant Your Spirit is upon us, and Your words, which You have put in our mouth, shall not depart from our mouth, or the mouth of our descendants nor from the mouth of our descendants’ descendants from this time forth and forevermore. We put on Your full armor and having done all to stand, we stand on behalf of our families. Fearlessly we enforce the triumphant victory of our Lord Jesus Christ against Satan and his destructive strategies. We are here to build up the wall and stand in the gap before You, Father, asking for Your mercy to triumph over judgment.
Lord you are great and awesome, and we fight for our sons, our daughters, our spouses and our houses. On the authority of Your promise we declare that You will contend with him who contends with us, and You will give safety to our children, save them and ease them day by day…. You are our LORD, our Savior, our Redeemer, and the Mighty One of Jacob. We proclaim our children as a heritage and a reward from You. We ask You, Father, draw them to repentance with Your goodness, and give them as an inheritance in the Lord Jesus Christ. He shed his blood for them that they might be saved, and Your arm is not shortened that You cannot save. Amen

Being a Christian doesn’t mean I have everything I want in my life. It means that I trust God that He will provide me in everything I need in my life.

When I say ... "I am a Christian"

By: Carol Wimmer
When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I am not shouting "I am saved;"
I am whispering "I get lost"
"That is why I choose this way."
When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I do not speak of this with pride.
I am confessing that I stumble
And need someone to be my guide.
When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I am not trying to be strong.
I am professing that I am weak
And pray for strength to carry on.
When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I am not bragging of success.
I am admitting I have failed
And cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I am not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are too visible
But God believes I am worth it.
When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
Which is why I seek His name.
When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority
I only know I am loved.
