Pray for Protection and Guidance

 The week of prayer for unity is over, but how about we continue throughout the year? The Christian Faith and Faithful are under attack and it is time that we unite in Christ to stand up for our beliefs and for the protection of all people. 

And by that I mean from conception to natural death.

The way God planned it.

Our culture has become a culture of death and death wishes. Abortion and Assisted Suicide are the scourge of our culture.

Let us pray together for the end of this and welcome life, support those who are dealing with terminal illness, those in chronic pain and all who suffer. 💜🙏💜 Martha

 GROWING INTO CHRIST

Artwork by my friend Denise 1/2026

The gifts He gave us were for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. 

(Ephesians 4:13)

O Christ, True Light of the world, make my soul worthy to see the light of Your glory with joy on the day of my calling, and to rest with the hope of good things in the house of the righteous, until the day of Your great coming. Have mercy upon Your creation, and on me, a great sinner. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Now and always and unto the ages of ages. Amen

"the WORD among us, pg 14"

Let's continue our prayers for each other, now and forever, Amen!!!

But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ's gift. (Ephesians 4:7)

Lord Jesus Christ. by the action of the Holy Spirit in the one baptism, You have bestowed wonderful graces and multiple gifts upon us for the sake of building up Your body, the Church. Grant us now the willingness to fully appreciate the richness of their diversity and use them fully to further the spread of the gospel. In Your name we pray, Amen.

ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM

Thursday, January 22,2026

One Lord, one faith, one baptism. (Ephesians 4:5)

Spirit of God, true God, who descended on the river Jordan, and into the upper room; who enlightened us by the baptism of the Holy Font, we have sinned against heaven and before You; purify us again with Your divine fire, as you did the Apostles with fiery tongues. Have mery on Your creatures and espicially on us. Amen.

-Adapted from a prayer by St. Nersess the Gracious

"the WORD among us, January 2026, pg 13"

Please join me in prayer for the United States and for those who have been trying to turn evil into good and good into evil. May God Bless them, cover them with the blood of Jesus, protect them from all evil, shower them with love, joy, mercy, grace, truth, peace, give them strength, help them heal, and guide their ways.

CALLED TO ONE HOPE

Wednesday, January 21, 2026

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling. (Ephesians 4:4)

Jesus Christ, you have brought us together in all our diversity as Your family and church. In the face of so many situations on earth where hope has given way to despair and wounded hearts, renew our hope in the Holy Spirit's work of changing the world. Move us to spread this hope to everyone everywhere. You are the true Light, who cast out the darkness of sin and shines into our hearts the joy and hope of Your eternal love. Amen.

THE BOND OF PEACE

Make every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:3)

Lord Jesus Christ, You are the Prince of Peace. Strengthen the bond of peace among us and in our troubled world. Change the hearts of all who make war; touch the wounds of all who are afflicted by war. We pray especially for the people of Armenia an Artsakh, and their kindred throughout the world. Let the light of Your love shine in all the dark plaes of our world and hasten the day when all peoples may dwell in peace with justice. Amen.

"The WORD among us. January 2026 pg12"

Let us also pray for the safety and peace of all Christian churches in the United States and in all countries of the world.

After this recent violent attack at a Christian church in Minnesota, we need to be even more prayerful. The Attorney General of Minnesota has sided with the violent protesters as a 1st Amendment right, even though the law protects houses of worship and religious freedom.

I pray that the Lord intercedes in this injustice.
