Prayer Diary St. James Church Kenilworth July 2021 - Prayer Diary Thurs Great God of the universe, we stand amazed that you are the Alpha and Omega – the Beginning 1 and the End - and so much more. Thank You that we can worship and magnify you. Thank God for a new month. Thank Him for the month that has passed. Pray that the Lord would give us the grace to be content with what He has given us and more than that, let us rejoice in all He has sent, for it is His choice! Bow down and worship the Lord. Amidst all the “things” happening in the world today make sure you “see” Jesus; “bow down” in His presence and “worship” Him. Let today and every day this coming month be filled with Christ. “May God’s blessing surround you each day as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin. Go in peace, go in joy, go in love.” (Cliff Barrows) Fri Reflect on the past month and be still before God and thank Him for His hand over your life. “Thank 2 you, God, for the little things, that often come our way, things we take for granted, but don’t mention when we pray. The unexpected courtesy, the thoughtful, kindly deed, a hand reached out to help us, in the time of sudden need. Oh, make me more aware, dear Lord, of little daily graces, that come to us with ‘sweet surprise’ from never-dreamed-of-places.” (Helen Steiner Rice) Sat Thank God for ‘problems’, for ‘blessings out of buffetings’, because they serve to strengthen us as 3 fire tempers steel. Life was never meant to be a bed of roses, or a cushioned journey along the way – we have only to learn of Jesus’ journey, to fully realize what life is all about – but we also know that as tribulation & hardships come our way, we will get the strength and grace from Him, and for this knowledge, we thank and praise Him. And when our faith grows weak and doubts arise, recall God’s love and tender care; remind yourself of all He has done and of those times He answered prayer. Sun Thank God that even though churches and places of worship are closed for a few weeks, many of 4 us are still able to “meet” and worship online. Pray for those who do not have these resources, that they may remain strong in the Lord and faithful to Him. Pray for those who will be preaching God’s Word today, that they will be bold and fearless in speaking the truth. Ask God to prepare our hearts to be receptive to the truth. Thank Him that we will be taught, rebuked, encouraged and trained in righteousness through His Word. Mon Dear Lord, as we are in yet another higher lockdown and as the numbers for Covid grow at an 5 alarming rate, we pray for protection from the virus. We pray for capacity for our hospitals and clinics. We pray for energy and good health for all our doctors, nurses, health-care workers, hospital staff, kitchen staff and cleaners. We thank you for the many infected patients who are recovering. We pray for the speedy and honest roll-out of vaccines and thank you for those who have already been vaccinated. Lord in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Tues Lord God Almighty, as more people are dying as a result of the virus, help us to pay more careful 6 attention to the basic guidelines of safety and hygiene. Father, our times are in Your hands. Thank you for the hope and comfort that brings. Please help those who do not know that, to understand the reality and to trust in You and You alone with their all. Please comfort and draw near to those who have lost loved ones. May You be their comfort and strength. Wed Covid is a stark reminder of our own mortality. Thank God for sparing us another day. Help us to 7 see it as an opportunity to show our gratitude and to live for Him. Please help us to spend time seeking out someone who has a loved one who is ill, or someone who is grieving the recent death of a loved one. O Father God, help us to be an instrument of grace and peace and compassion. Please bless us with the right words to say or text or write, and may our genuine care and concern show the love of God in Christ to those we communicate with. Enable us by the Spirit of God Almighty, to be a blessing to someone. Thurs Remember God never sends you into a situation alone. God goes before you. He stands beside 8 you. He walks behind you. Whatever situation you have, trust God, be confident, because God is with you! “He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart” (Ps 91:4). Look back – thank Him; look up – trust Him; look around – serve Him; look ahead – expect Him. Fri Our Father in Heaven thank you for kings, queens, presidents and rulers that You have placed in 9 authority over people and nations. Thank you for our President, Cyril Ramaphosa. Thank you for evidence of Your blessing upon his life and his office. Thank you for the people around him who advise him. LORD, even though we may not agree with every decision they make, we thank you for blessing us with him and this government. Please help us to continue to pray for them - that they would seek Your wisdom in order to lead SA in a way that brings glory to You, Lord God Almighty. Sat Oh Lord, when I grow weary please help me to remember each and every day: to count my 10 blessings and not my crosses; to count my gains and not my losses; to count my laughs and not my tears; to count my joys and not my fears; to count my health and not my wealth; and most of all … to count on GOD and not myself. Sun Father God, we thank you for Sundays. Thank You for this one day in the week when we, as people 11 of God, can “come together online” to encourage one another in our walk with Christ. As Your people meet around Your Word today, please bless the virtual gathering. Please be at work in our hearts. And as we hear You speak in the Scriptures by Your Spirit through the preacher, help us to hear, listen, and obey. Help us to do what Your Word demands of us. Help us to sit under the authority of the Bible instead of us trying to sit in authority over it. Please forgive us our sin of selective hearing and disobedience. Help us to understand that all Scripture is to be obeyed. Lord, please continue to change us, mould us, more and more into the likeness of Jesus; Spirit of God please touch our hearts afresh; move us towards combining our faith with good deeds - deeds that bring glory to Your name alone. Please give us opportunity to share with someone Your story of grace in our lives. Mon Pray for all University and College students, learners, educators and lecturers who are on their 12 mid-year holiday brought early because of Covid and lockdown. Ask God to watch over them, to protect them from all difficulties and dangers. Thank God for times of refreshment and opportunities to be renewed in body, soul and spirit. May it also be a time or rest, reflection and family fellowship. Tues Pray for those, this winter, who do not have the comfort of a warm home, clothes and a bed. Pray 13 that where we are able to help ease their discomfort, we would do what we can by supporting the Uturn Winter Warmer Project. Wed “You perceive my thoughts from afar” (Psalm 139:2b). Ask God to help you have the right thoughts 14 about people and situations in your life. “Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.” (Psalm 139:4). Ask God to help you speak kind, gentle and encouraging words to others, and when needed, to be strong and courageous with your words to help your brothers and sisters in Christ get ‘back on track.’ Thurs Dear Lord, I pray that no-one will be less good for having come within my influence; no-one less 15 pure, less true, less kind and less noble for having been a fellow traveller on my journey towards eternity. Thank you, Lord, for the gift of Your love. May I be a shining example of that love to others. Fri Thank God for the wonderful winter rains that have fallen. Thank Him for sending the rains to 16 refresh and replenish the earth He created. We continue to pray for those areas of our country that are drought stricken and ask Him please to hear the cries of His people and be merciful and compassionate. Thank you, Lord. Sat “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14a). Take time to thank 17 God for creating you, for having a purpose in your life and ask Him to help you to enjoy Him and to live for His glory. Ask Him to help you to “let your light shine” so that people will praise Him and give Him all the glory.

  • One Hour Prayer Guide
    PRAYING 24/7 FOR REVIVAL AND AWAKENING A ONE-HOUR PRAYER GUIDE -- JANUARY 2021 FIRST TEN MINUTES “B” Be Still SCRIPTURE: Psalm 46:1-10, Psalm 62 “BE STILL” QUESTIONS: Refuge, fortress, rock and salvation; always-present help. What from the two Psalms most encourages you to trust God and be still? Being still is more than being quiet; it’s the rest that comes from trust; the stillness of heart that comes when I stop trying to control what only God can control. It’s the stillness that comes when I pursue God with all my heart knowing He wants to be known. Where do I need to surrender control? Am I pursuing God for the stillness of my heart? LEONARD RAVENHILL REVIVAL QUOTES: “It's the time factor that kills most of us. Tell me how much time you spend alone with God and I will tell you how spiritual you are. Not how many meetings you go to. Not how many gifts you have. Not how many sermons you preach. Not how many books you've written. Tell me what time you spend alone with God and I'll tell you how spiritual you are.” “You may study because your brain is hungry for knowledge, even Bible knowledge. But you pray because your soul is hungry for God.” PRAY: This is where it starts; “Be still and know that I am God.” Ask the Spirit to bring to mind anything above Christ in your heart. Surrender it. Release every worry, every battle and barrier. Imagine stepping into His refuge.

  • ST HESYCHIOS the PRIEST Introductory Note
    F ST HESYCHIOS THE PRIEST Introductory Note St Nikodimos identifies the writer of the work that follows, On Watchfulness and Holiness, with Hesychios of Jerusalem, author of many Biblical commentaries, who lived in the first half of the fifth century. But it is today accepted that On Watchfulness and Holiness is the work of an entirely different Hesychios, who was abbot of the Monastery of the Mother of God of the Burning Bush (Vatos) at Sinai. Hesyclilos of Sinai’s date is uncertain. He is probabl) later than St John Khmakos (sixth or seventh century), ith whose book The Ladder of Divine Ascent he seems to be familiar; possibly he Ihed in the eighth or ninth century. As well as dnv.ing upon Klimakos, he incorporates in his work passages from St Mark the Ascetic and St Maximos the Confessora St Nikodimos commends the work of St Hesychios especially for its teaching on watchfulness, inner attentheness and the guarding of the heart. Hesychios has a warm devotion to the Holy Name of it Jesus, and this makes his treatise of particular value to all who use the F Jesus Prayer.* We have followed the numbering of sections as given in the Greek Philokuha, nhich differs from that in Migne, Patrolog,a Gracca, xciii. For further details, see the footnotes to our translation; and compare % Kirchme3 er, Hssych.us le Sinaire et sea Centuries’, in Le Aizlknazrc lu 1tonr Athos 963—1963 Etudes es iiilanges, I (Clieetugne, 1963), pp 319 29 I On Watchfiilness and Holiness WRITTEN FOR THEODOULOS i. Watchfulness is a spiritual method which, if sedulously practised over a long period, completely frees us with God’s help from irn passioned thoughts, impassioned words and evil actions.

  • Lenny Kravitz: Let Love Rule - Nederlandse Editie Gratis
    LENNY KRAVITZ: LET LOVE RULE - NEDERLANDSE EDITIE GRATIS Auteur: Lenny Kravitz Aantal pagina's: 304 pagina's Verschijningsdatum: 2020-10-06 Uitgever: Kosmos Uitgevers EAN: 9789021578507 Taal: nl Link: Download hier Review: Lenny Kravitz - Let Love Rule In zijn teksten toont hij zijn afkeer van racisme, armoede en heroïne, en stelt daartegenover een sterk geloof in de liefde en in een betere wereld met de hulp van God. Op het eerste gezicht niet nieuw en bijzonder, maar de manier waarop Kravitz dit doet is dat wel. Kravitz is namelijk een oorspronkelijk talent, een persoonlijkheid. Het debuut wordt enthousiast ontvangen en na een als legendarisch betiteld optreden op 13 december '89 in het Amsterdamse Paradiso, is Nederland een van de eerste landen die hem volledig in de armen sluit. Met enthousiaste steun van Mtv volgt de rest van de wereld en wordt Kravitz in no-time een ster. Een status die hij eind '90 nog eens onderschrijft voor Madonna het controversiële Justify My Love te schrijven. Dat dergelijke turbulente ontwikkelingen een schaduwzijde hebben, blijkt uit de teksten op het in '91 verschenen Mama Said. De nummers gaan merendeels over Kravitz' verbroken liefdesrelatie met actrice Lisa Bonet, en muzikaal gezien is Mama Said minder evenwichtig dan Let Love Rule. Maar, ook al doet Kravitz af en toe alsof hij Curtis Mayfield of Sly Stone is, zijn muzikale persoonlijkheid blijkt onverminderd sterk en leidt tot bezielde, emotionele muziek. Hij levert diverse gastbijdragen aan andermans platen o. Dit album ligt rechtstreeks in het verlengde van zijn voorgangers, met dat verschil dat de hele muziekbiz op het moment van verschijnen retro-gericht is geworden en Are You Gonna Go My Way hierdoor minder opvalt.

  • Passing Yarns Forward: Unravelling the Dimensions of Knitting and Birth
    Passing yarns forward: unravelling the dimensions of knitting and birth Sara Wickham, Cecile MacNeille & Kristan Lee Read have a childhood memory of a midwife once casting off my knitting for me when my mum was busy, a simple act of kindness which cemented my lifelong view that midwives are lovely Ipeople who knit. Since becoming a midwife myself, it has become my belief and understanding that midwives have knitted at births for eons (Wickham 1999), but even in my lifetime the relationship between knitting and midwifery has been continually changing shape. I can personally recall the days when the toting of a bag of knitting was almost an essential prerequisite for a night shift, and I have been present at group lamentations following the sad day when midwives in one trust were told they must cease knitting bootees during the wee hours because it was (and I quote) unprofessional. I have been gawped at for sitting quietly with my knitting in some midwifery-related circles, and © www.sarawickham.com been the source of envy (from those who wished they had thought to pack their own project!), knowing smiles and conversation in others. There also exist circles, of course, in which the presence of knitting midwives is as unremarkable as it was to my ancient sisters. This article explores a few of the dimensions of knitting and birth, considering what we can learn from the little that has been written about this and from our own reflections. In this latter effort, I am delighted to be joined by two other knitters, and we also offer a small basketful of resources that might inspire others to pick up their needles.

    The Ultimate Playlist This list comprises more than 3000 songs (song titles), which have been released between 1931 and 2021, either as a single or as a track of an album. However, one has to keep in mind that more than 300000 songs have been listed in music charts worldwide since the beginning of the 20th century [web: http://tsort.info/music/charts.htm].

  • Be Near to Me: an Articualtion of a Nearness Pedagogy
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School School of Visual Arts BE NEAR TO ME: AN ARTICUALTION OF A NEARNESS PEDAGOGY A Thesis in Art Education by Jorge R. Lucero © 2008 Jorge R. Lucero Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science December 2008 The thesis of Jorge R. Lucero was reviewed and approved* by the following: Stephanie Springgay Assistant Professor of Art Education and Women’s Studies Thesis Advisor Charles R. Garoian Director of The School of Visual Arts Professor of Art Education Wanda Knight Associate Professor of Art Education, Art Education Graduate Coordinator, Post- baccalaureate Certification Officer in Art Education, Honors Adviser in Art Education, and Coordinator of Student Teaching in Art Education *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii Abstract How do we learn learning? Being near one who does it the way one would like to do it. This project identifies the “learning” dis- and re-orientation that can occur for both teachers and students by examining the characteristics of a few contemporary art practices and attempting to extrapolate from those works a character or ethos that allows individuals to behave in a liberated pedagogical way. Using four related –however independent –essays, this project attempts to highlight the ethics that have become more keenly visible in contemporary art forms such as performance art, collage, photography, and new projects in both popular music and television. I’m looking at examples in these art forms for two reasons. The first is because of their still developing and –unlike something like painting-practices – under-canonized and still developing theorization which up until now has left the working definitions of these newer practices ambiguous and brimming with possibilities.

  • United in Prayer
    United in Prayer Spring 2020 Compiled by the Diocese of Limerick A Message from Bishop Brendan Leahy This Prayer Book is a treasure-trove of prayers and I hope you enjoy discovering them. I love Pope Francis’ Five Finger prayer! It is so important to pray. Mahatma Gandhi used to say prayer is like oxygen for the soul. We need to pray just like we need to breathe! It does us good to remember we’re not on our own. God is with us, Mary, Our Mother in Heaven, is with us, the saints are with us. To pray keeps us standing even on the days we feel we’re getting knocked down by bad news or difficulties. This Book gives plenty of choices of prayers so enjoy them, use them and, above all, spend time saying these prayers. +Brendan Leahy Bishop of Limerick With gratitude to Fr. Chris O'Donnell, who compiled these prayers.
