Promise made.... Promise kept...

In this picture Rev. Elias made a promise to Uncle Isidro, that should ever be a time for him to go home, he would like to go back to his home town in Batac, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. Here in the picture Rev.Elias took a short stroll through Laoag barangay roads, and came along a calessa back to the hotel with the Reverend.







After breakfast the mornings are beautiful in the country of Laoag City. We came across a carabao in the fields and just had to take this picture.

Prayer of emotional pain

O Lord,

At this time of emotional pain in my life, help me to remember that You became man to grant us a perspective on the suffering of this world. You, too, were moved by intense feelings, and were at times angry, near despair and filled with doubt. You, above all, suffered at the hands of others and were misunderstood by many. Yet, You listened, always with rapt attention, to others in pain, offering them comfort and acceptance.
Teach me now to find new faith in You, in myself, in my doctors and helpers, and in my fellow man. I ask Your grace and courage that I might embrace my life and experiences as my own, good and bad, and begin my life anew today. Allow me that strength to communicate about my inner experience so that others, working through Your hand, may understand and accept me, and I may find Your peace within myself.

Amen.

Prayer of Strength

O Lord,
In this time of need, strengthen me. You are my strength and my shield; You are my refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. I know, Father, that Your eyes go to and fro throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts long for You. The body grows weary, but my hope is in You to renew my strength.
I do not fear, for You are with me.
I am not dismayed or be overwhelmed, for You are my God. I know You will strengthen me and help me, that You will uphold me with Your righteous hand. Even as the shadows of illness cover me, I feel the comfort of Your strength, Our Lord.
Amen.
