daily prayer...

I call upon God, the Father of all our fathers.  I spread out the palms of my hands in prayer.  You who created the earth and all living beings, listen to me.  You who send rain from the sky, have mercy on me.  I trust in you for all things.       ~Shilluk, Sudan


Today's prayer is taken from:  African Prayers: Praise, Thanksgiving, Hope and Trust by Robert Van de Weyer, Dimensions for Living, Nashville, TN.  2002

daily scripture...

May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put together - spirit, soul and body - and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ.
~1 Thessalonians 5:23 (MSG)

daily scripture

He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
and what does the LORD require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
