Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Our Father in Heaven
Blessed and Holy is Your Most Wonderful Name!
Thank You For You Precious Word,
Which Continues to teach us to this present day.
How Wonderful that these Words
leap from the Pages time and again to show us Your Will!
We Pray that You will Keep us from Temptation
and from the leaven of sin.
We ask that You will Clothe us
in Your Robe and Mantle of Righteousness,
that we will not be led astray
by the constant barrage of evil from this world.

We Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem,
According to Your Will and Promise.
We Pray For the People and Leaders of Israel,
that They Will Look to You for the Protection
and Prosperity of their Nation.
We Also Pray For Revival in our own Beloved USA.

  We Pray For The Leaders of Our Nation,
May They Be Inspired and Led By You,
And Please Guide Them in All Things.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

Hallelujah and Amen

HO is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn of every creature:

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities,

or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors, we are all "Nazarenes."

Oh My Goodness! That's The Rock Upon Which I Sat Reading Colossians!

I hated what was supposedly the Subject called "Science" in High School. It meant either dissecting a frog or sitting on a stool in an antiquated lab listening to the teacher drone on and on about the Periodic Table and Valence Numbers. I chose the latter to avoid the frog, but I passed all the tests just by memorizing the stuff and then promptly forgetting it. (I have an incredible memory for music and experiences, but not so much for numbers). In spite of the incredible tedium of Science Class, I REALLY loved Nature, NASA, Science Fiction, and Outer Space. I eagerly devoured anything on TV that addressed these subjects, like The Twilight Zone, One Step Beyond, The Outer Limits, and, OF COURSE, STAR TREK (The Original Series). When Boston's PBS Station started producing NOVA (Real Science) I watched it faithfully and made up for all the hours I sat on that rickety lab stool in the decrepit lab listening to the droning voice spouting numbers. I got excited about the Universe, about Quantum Theory, String Theory, Sub-Atomic Particles, Plate Tectonics, Geology, Marine Biology, you name it! Now, of course, these programs are all over cable, but back then, NOVA was the ONLY one.

My husband actually DID like Science, and, even though he went to an antiquated inner-city high school just like me, he was exposed to a slightly better Science program than I was. He liked to talk about things like Einstein's search for "The Unified Field Theory", which, in simplest terms, was the question of how atoms (and thus the entire Universe) held together without spinning off into chaos. To this day, scientists speak of this question, raising ideas about "Dark Matter", Parallel Universes, String Theory, etc. In fact I just saw a program about this last night. So it is a very real question that has puzzled scientists for a long time.

Anyway, there were Mike and I sitting on the rock (pictured above) at Houghton's Pond in the Autumn of 1981. And I was reading today's Passage out loud. Suddenly, Mike touched my arm and said, "Read That part again."

So I did.

"He is before all things, and in Him, all things hold together."

Then we both looked at each other and laughed out loud. Then, simultaneously, without any coaching, we blurted out:

IT'S THE UNIFIED FIELD THEORY!!!!!

I love moments like that.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”
Lamentations 3:22-24 (NIV)

God Bless America!
