Grace to stand strong ~ Prayer

Father, I thank You 

for Your grace to stand strong

no matter what I am facing.

I choose to stay in faith.

I choose to keep praying.

I choose to keep believing, 

knowing that victory

is on the way for me

in Jesus' name. 

Amen.

Prayer for good weather

St. Medard, Patron Saint Against Bad Weather. St. Medard was born around 456 in Salency (near Noyon), France. He was one of the most honored bishops of his time. St. Medard died of an illness in 545 at the age of 89. Legend says that when he was a child, St. Medard was once sheltered from the rain by a hovering eagle.

Christ lives in me

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, 

but Christ lives in me. 

The life I now live in the body, 

I live by faith in the Son of God, 

who loved me and gave himself for me.

Lord, teach me the right way to pray.... Holy Spirit guide me

The necessity of prudent foresight

Do you make good use of your money and possessions? Jesus seemed to praise a steward (a manager entrusted with his master's goods) who misused his employer's money. What did the steward do that made Jesus praise him? The steward was responsible for managing his wealthy landowner's property.
