Sunday Morning Inspiration

Lord, we know what peace is. Peace is a mother tenderly holding her child. Peace is a firm handshake of trust between friends. Peace is complete emotional security. Peace is living unencumbered with a full sense of joy. Peace is expressing Thanksgiving for concrete blessings.

For the peace gained from the love and memory of spouses and children, we thank you ..
For the peace gained from the love and memory of parents and grandparents, we thank you ..
For the peace gained from the kindness and support of friends, we thank you ..
For the peace gained when you are worshipped through word and song, we thank you ..

Peace is elusive. There are raging storms in every life. Tragedy, grief, and pain will visit everyone. Yet, each person's life is graced by moments and periods of real happiness. For these episodes of peace and joy .. past, present, & future, we offer our deepest gratitude.

Help us to understand that peace must be waged. We must resist the gun, the trap and snare of the streets, personal politics, unkind words, personal betrayals, anger, depression, despair, and rage. Give us the strength to overcome these demons. Give us the strength to become once more the men and women you created us to be...

Give hope and courage to all who struggle with personal loss, overwhelming sorrow, debilitating illness, grief, and loneliness. Help us to remember that through your grace .. ALL chains WILL be BROKEN.

Lift up our hearts!
God is great!
Amen
