Let peace reign
Filed under: Faith

white orchids

(My offering for peace and love: White orchids from my sister Eva’s garden)

Please pray with me:

Loving Father, we pray for the families of the victims of the Glorietta bombing at this sad and difficult time.

We pray that You will bring comfort to them, and give them the peace which encompasses all understanding.

We pray that in all of their grief and sadness, they will not feel alone, but will always be conscious of the reality of Your presence with them.

And lastly, Lord, we pray for love in every hardened heart; peace in every troubled soul and enlightenment in every confused mind.

Amen.

This post is in response to the call for prayer and sobriety by Ding of Inkblots – Life Unraveled and Señor Enrique of Wish You Were Here.

    Hi, Ding. Yes, I too, do hope to get more people in prayers. I believe in the power of intercession and the strength of prayers when said collectively.

    Your photograph of the orchid and the prayer you wrote are simply beautiful, Rhoda. Many thanks for answering Ding’s call for peace. Hope other fellow bloggers would do the same if they have the time.

    Again, thank you.

    Yes, Kongkong, we should pray for it not to happen again, and for protection of our own families too.

    Thanks. I took that picture using my reliable camera phone. :)

    Really Ding? Wow! That’s great! Sana nga, sana nga. Positive thinking lang, matutuloy yan. Imagine how comforting it would be for the bereaved families to read and know there are people who are really and sincerely sympathizing with them. :)
