Prayers & Thoughts

I'd like all to take a moment to use our power of prayer and thought to lift up those that are in tragic situations. When time of natural disaster strike us, we feel many things. Among the massive amounts of emotions that flood our being are feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. When our hands seem tied and we feel we are without recourse, we must look elsewhere. If we look deep within ourselves we will find the means to connect with a force that is well able to help us. It takes only honesty and sincerity to activate this connection and communicate what you really desire Him to know. This means that words are not always needed. And you definitely don't need to be long-winded or eloquent. You can direct and straight to the point.

"7. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him."

(Matthew 6:7-8)

Many here in the USA are trying to come to grips with the devastation left by hurricane Katrina. This natural disaster also left much devastation in many of the neighboring islands. But we must realize that there are many things that never make it in the media's limelight. So we can help in many ways but the first and best way to start is with our thoughts and prayers.
