We have been paying attention to our immeadiate neighbours to the South as they have installed their new president. But today I am looking even further South to Mexico and praying that God would intervene on the spreading violence that increasingly engages the average person seeking to live a fairly righteous life. Last week Joel Kurtzman of the Wall Street Journal sounded the alarm about the instability just lurking around the corner in that country. Would you join me today in praying that God would bring those who love violence to justice and change the hearts of many people to love mercy, act justly, and walk humbly with God?

prayer for Advent week 3
Stir up your power, O Lord, and with great might come among us; and, because we are sorely hindered by our sins, let your bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory now and for ever. Amen.
Phyllis Tickle, Christmastide: Prayers for Advent through Epiphany from The Divine Hours
pray for us
This week I will be away on Vancouver Island with our friends at Tsawout Assembly of Praise running a children’s camp with them. Pray for the group going over from Cityview and for the church. Recently there has been a tragedy among the Tsawout. A fire at a home took the life of a mother and daughter. We really do ask that you would pray for us as we share LIFE together.
