Pastors Points
In January, Grace celebrated the
Epiphany with a healing service, and many of you participated in a
healing station in which you wrote the names of people on a large
board and prayed for their healing. I brought those boards back to
my office and have been praying from them, and it has been an
especially powerful and moving experience for me. Here is what has
touched me…
~scribbled print and beautiful cursive. Children, youth, and adults
all feel the need to talk to God.
~“Japan”. I‘m glad I‘ve been reminded to pray for this place (and
others) that have fallen off of my personal prayer "radar" lately.
~ the brave person who wrote, “myself”. We all need to remember to
pray for ourselves.
~“Park House residents” written several times. I couldn‘t help but
wonder if some of these prayers came out of Grace‘s recent visit
there and how that visit has changed hearts.
~ “mean girls”. It‘s easy to pray for those who are hurt; how much
harder is it to pray for those who hurt others. Yes, they need our
prayers, too.
~ the name of the gravely ill man, who died soon after. He passed
onto new life with Jesus, surrounded by your prayers.
Thank you for the gift of sharing your prayer concerns with each
other and with me. Please remember to often lift your prayers to
God- for yourself and for others- trusting in God‘s healing love for
our world.
