He does provide! :-)
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Rte66. I know will find the energy to do what you *need* to do, even if it's not all that you *want* to do.
Morning prayer bump
Lord,
You are our healer
and our hope,
you ask us to bear our cross,
then help us struggle beneath its weight.
You ask us to be merciful,
and, if we are open to you,
fill our hearts with mercy.
You ask us to be the one
others can practice their mercy on,
and if we are open,
you fill us with your patience
and strength
and love
to lay there, ill,
in need of mercy.
Today, O Lord,
be with all those who are ill,
with pain of body,
with sorrow of mind,
with loss,
bereavement,
aching in their hearts,
loss.
Help all of us
who call you Lord
to answer that call
to be your hands,
to be the tool of your mercy,
to be the lips to say your words
to those in pain,
to be the good Samaritans,
to bind the wounds.
Hold us all in your hands, O Lord,
and at the end,
bring us safely home to be with you.
Amen.
Thank you, pinz! Not getting there yet, but hope to. I know what you mean about the difference between needs and wants, believe me!
Happy Thanksgiving Day Eve, to you and all in our Prayer Room!
