Please Give Us A President   1 comment

Dear Beloved God in Heaven

Please give us a president that loves this country and everything it stands for.

Please give us a president who respects you as the one true God.

Please give us a president who will, with your help, restore this nation to its former glory, the way you created her.

Please help us to respect what you have given to us and not take anything for granted ever again.

Please God weaken the evil and strengthen the good both without and within.

May our eyes be opened.

In Jesus name,

Amen

God Bless America

We Come Before You   Leave a comment

‘Heavenly  Father, we come before you today  to ask  your forgiveness and to seek your direction  and  guidance.

We know Your Word says, ‘Woe  to those who call  evil good,’ but that is  exactly what we have done.

We have  lost  our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our  values.

We  have exploited the poor and  called it the lottery.

We have  rewarded  laziness and called it welfare.

We have  killed  our unborn and called it choice.

We  have shot abortionists  and called it  justifiable…

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building  self esteem.

We have abused power and called it  politics.

We  have coveted our neighbor’s  possessions and called it ambition.

We have  polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.

We have  ridiculed the time-honored values  of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from sin

and Set us free.  

Amen!’

Billy Graham

A Prayer for America   Leave a comment

Dear God,

I thank You for giving us President Barack Hussein Obama.

Without him, we would be taking our freedoms for granted.

Obama has awakened us to just how fragile our Republic is,

and to how quickly we can lose that which you have granted us;

freedom and liberty.

Help us O’ Lord to overcome the hope and change of transformation

into a communist socialist progressive world

in which human liberty is forsaken for social change

that make men slaves to the annointed.

Let us renew our faith in God that we might remain free.

Amen

My dearest child, I love you very much, and that is why this day is so important to me.

I have been proud of you since the day you were born, and I am especially proud of you today.

On this your Communion Day, you met Jesus in a special way.

From this day on, you will be able to receive Jesus every time you go to Mass.

Because I love you, I want this day for you.

I promise to continue to be proud of you, to love you, and to share Jesus with you by taking you to Mass.

I know you are ready to receive Jesus and so I ask God to bless you today in a very special way.

May the blessing of our Living God and Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit be with you today and always.

Amen

Epiphany Blessing   Leave a comment

20+C+M+B+12

God of Bethlehem and Cana,

God of Jordan’s leaping waters,

in baptism you bring us

into your family.

You wed us and embrace us

as your beloved.

May we fill this place

with kindness to one another,

with hospitality to guests,

and with abundant care

for every stranger.

By the gentle light of a star,

you guide home all who seek you

on paths of faith, hope, and love.

Then we will join the angels in

proclaiming your praise.

Glory in heaven and peace on earth,

now and forever.  Amen

The gospel tells us that the magi found Christ “on entering the house.” The door to your home is a holy threshold. You can bless those who come in and go out by inscribing above the door in chalk the first two numbers of the year (20) + C + M + B + (12) the last two numbers of the year. Tradition tells us that the letters stand for the names of the magi: Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar. Adolph Adam points out that it may also mean “Christus mansionem benedicat” or “May Christ bless this dwelling.” It is appropriate to bless your door in January—janua means “door” and the first month is the door to the new year.

‘Lord,

I love you and I need you,

come into my heart, and bless me,

my family, my home, and my friends,

in Jesus’ name.

Amen.’

Hello! Is That You God?   Leave a comment


Hello God, I called tonight

To talk a little while

I need a friend who’ll listen

To my anxiety and trial.

You see, I can’t quite make it 

Through a day just on my own… 

I need your love to guide me, 

So I’ll never feel alone. 

 

I want to ask you please to keep, 

My family safe and sound. 

Come and fill their lives with confidence 

For whatever fate they’re bound. 

Give me faith, dear God, to face 

Each hour throughout the day, 

And not to worry over things 

I can’t change in any way. 

 

I thank you God, for being home 

And listening to my call, 

For giving me such good advice 

When I stumble and fall..  !!!!!!!

Your number, God, is the only one 

That answers every time. 

I never get a busy signal, 

Never had to pay a dime. 

 

So thank you, God, for listening

To my troubles and my sorrow.

Good night, God, I love You, too,

And I’ll call again tomorrow!

P.S.  Please bless all my friends and family too.
