In the "New Covenant" made by our Creator God with humanity, as reported in Jeremiah 31:31-34, every human being can know God from within - because the Holy Spirit is revealing our Creator to all who are willing to know the Lord and trust in Him. We can still help each other along the way; so may you be pleased to find here a variety of helps to the life of faith in God through Jesus Christ. G.S.

One of the Best Prayers I’ve Heard in a While!
Heavenly Father, Help us remember that the jerk who
cut us off in traffic last night, is a single mother who worked nine hours that
day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and
spend a few precious moments
with her children.
Help us to remember that the pierced,
tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly is a worried
19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his
fear of not getting his student
loans for next semester.
Remind us, Lord, that the scary
looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day (who really ought to
get a job!) is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares
Help us to remember that the old
couple walking annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking our
shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy
report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping
together.
Heavenly Father, remind us each day that,
of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to
share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who
are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to
forgive, show patience, empathy and love.
Working for God on earth doesn't pay
much......but His retirement plan is out of this world!
