Prayer Process

-
1. Gratitude: Begin by thanking God in a personal dialogue for whatever you are most grateful for today.

2. Awareness: Revisit the times in the past 24 hours when you were and were not the best version of yourself.  Talk to God about the situations and what you learned from them.

3. Significant Moments: Identify something you experienced today and explore what God might be trying to say to you through that event or person.

4. Peace: Ask God to forgive you for any wrong you committed and to fill you with a deep abiding peace.

5. Freedom: Speak with God about how he is inviting you to change your life, so that you can experience the freedom to be the best version of your self.

6. Others: Lift up to God anyone you feel called to pray for today, asking God to bless and guide them.

7. Thank Jesus personally for dying on the cross for your sins and attempt to picture this sacrifice that he went through.

8. Finish with the Our Father Prayer.

#7 is my addition 1-6, 8 are from Matthew Kelly.

Amen.

John 2:1-12 Revised Standard Version (RSV) The Wedding at Cana 2 On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; 2 Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples. 3 When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said to her, “O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6 Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the steward of the feast.” So they took it. 9 When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Every man serves t

Ch 80 Anger Thoughts How do I interact with individuals that are confrontational?   What do I say when someone else says something hurtful to me?  When I get angry what other items are going through my mind?  Is there something else bothering me or a root to the problem?  Am I blinded by my rage? One needs to be meek and should follow the prayer of meekness.  Do not let anger blind you to a higher way of thinking.  Do not act on animal instincts, but spiritual ones. Pray: Jesus Meek and Humble of Heart…make my heart like unto Thine. Amen.
