Scripture: Ephesians 6:18 (TNIV)
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, try be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Thought for the Day: Prayer is an incredibly powerful spiritual discipline. Many years ago I read that when we pray, unhealthy we need ask for nothing other than to be blessed with God’s presence. God already knows everything that has to be done in this physical realm, patient and is already acting to rectify all of humankind with God’s self. But prayer is a way for us to connect with God on a personal level. Prayer is a way for us to experience the incredible loving energy of the Divine that binds us all together. Prayer energizes us and sends our love for others into God’s presence, where our love is magnified many times over.

Prayer: God most holy and generous, we pray for greater awareness of your activity in our lives, in the hope that as more and more people become aware of your presence, the more the world will be transformed into a place of love, generosity, and hospitality. Amen.
