I have been battling my old demon, clinical depression. For any others who battle this demon I offer this prayer and hope it helps us all.

God bless all who are battling those inner demons of depression, loneliness, unworthiness, and hopelessness. Shine Your warm Heavenly Light down upon all of us, Lord, who are looking for our soul mates. Guide us to find peace, happiness, and contentment in our lives and within ourselves. Amen.

Greeting to all

I’d like to first share a passage from Philippians 4:8 that I have found helpful many times and especially recently.

“ 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”

Hello brethren in Christ

I would like to ask everyone to please excuse my absence the last few days. As my wife was driving home from work in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday morning she realized something was wrong so she stopped and called an ambulance. As a physician she self diagnosed (not advised) herself as having a heart attack. The ambulance took her to the same hospital she works at (U Penn Philadelphia) where they in fact confirmed she had/was having a heart attack.

A Prayer For Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it i...  more
Brethren, Like a lot of the Northeastern US my area is extremely dry. The experts tell us we have not had any rain in over 65 days and we are therefore in a severe drought. Because of this dryness early this morning a forest fire broke out on top of a local mountain and is still burning. The fire has spread into four counties and displaced thousands of people. I haven’t heard anything regarding the injured or killed but God willing the counts will be low. A major roadway goes over this mountain ...  more
How Can We Tap Into More Of God’s Power Daily?

I love the story about the little boy playing in the sandbox. There was a big rock in the sandbox that was inhibiting his fun. He tried to roll it out of the box, but it was too big and too heavy for him to push it out. In frustration, he began to cry.

His dad witnessed the whole thing and said to his tearful son, “Why don’t you use all your strength?” The little boy responded through his sobs, “I did use all my strength, Daddy!” To which his dad ...  more
In Psalm 90:12, the psalmist reminds us that all of our days are numbered and none of us know how many we will have: “Teach us to use wisely all the time we have.” Therefore, we should all live as if the present day is our last. If we actually did this, would we live differently? We might:

Think more positively.
Forgive quicker.
Step out of our comfort zones and do that thing God has been calling us to do.
Start that new career.
Spend more time with loved ones.
Make more time for ourselves...  more
Regarding sin and salvation. A lot of society thinks everyone can enter into heaven by praying and being “good Christians.” But Matthew 7:21 reminds us, “ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”. A thought to ponder, are we each doing everything we are can to insure our place with God?

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV)
