The supreme court is hearing cases this week that will change the law in the USA regarding same sex marriages. I just read a article on the Baptist Press with a call to prayer this week. Here is what they suggested: Quote:Monday, March 25
Read Genesis 2:18-24; Proverb 2:6; Matthew 19:4-5.
Pray for our Supreme Court justices by name:
-- Chief Justice John Roberts
-- Associate Justice Antonin Scalia
-- Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy
-- Associate Justice Clarence Thomas
-- Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
-- Associate Justice Stephen Breyer
-- Associate Justice Samuel Alito
-- Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor
-- Associate Justice Elena Kagan
Ask God to help the justices understand the importance of God's design for marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Ask Him to give them wisdom to understand the importance of the upcoming hearings on Prop 8 and DOMA.
Tuesday, March 26
Read Exodus 4:12.
Pray for the hearings in the first case, Hollingsworth v. Perry (Prop 8).
Ask God to give the attorneys arguing for Prop 8 wisdom, clarity of thought, and the right words to speak so they can present their arguments in a logical, persuasive manner. Ask God to help the Supreme Court justices recognize the logic of their arguments and the weakness of the arguments opposed to Prop 8.
Wednesday, March 27
Read Job 38:36.
Pray for the hearings in the second case, United States v. Windsor (DOMA).
Ask God to give the attorneys arguing for DOMA wisdom, clarity of thought, and the right words to speak so they can present their arguments in a logical, persuasive manner. Ask God to help the Supreme Court justices recognize the logic of their arguments and the weakness of the arguments opposed to DOMA.
Thursday, March 28
Read Isaiah 5:18-25.
Pray for the justices as they reflect on the previous two days of hearings.
Ask God to bring to their minds an understanding of the strength of the arguments in support of Prop 8 and DOMA and the weakness of the arguments in opposition.
Friday, March 29
Read Proverbs 21:1-3.
Pray for the justices as they wrap up their week.
Ask God to bring the justices into a personal situation that both reaffirms and puts a human face on the importance of God's definition of marriage for adults, children and society.
Saturday, March 30
Read Deuteronomy 6:5-9; Psalm 127:3-5.
Pray for the families of the justices.
Ask God to help the justices remember the positive contributions their fathers and mothers have made to their own lives. Ask God to watch over the justices and their families.
Sunday, March 31
-- Read 2 Chronicles 7:13-14; 1 Timothy 2:1-6.
-- Pray that the justices will have spiritual sensitivity and discernment.
-- Ask God to visit each of the justices and speak His words of comfort and conviction to them. Ask Him to bring someone into each of their lives who will remind them of their accountability before God for their own souls and for the sake of the nation. Ask Him to work in a powerful way to bring them to Himself through faith in Jesus Christ if they have never trusted Christ as their Savior. Ask Him to grant a special outpouring of His Spirit on each justice so that they may all be reminded of His love, His power, His presence and His compassion. Ask Him to convince each justice to uphold His definition of marriage. Let's all pray for the supreme court justices this week!

Thanks for your advice guys. I have found a new Church to call home. It is a fairly small Church but I am really enjoying it.
Why I choose this Church:
They made me feel welcomed & at home
The Church is very active in the community & with mission work. (not just taking tithes to build a fancier building etc)
Great preaching with Biblical truths!

Thanks!
P.S FYI I'm Presbyterian

Praying!

Another favorite verse that I have had to remind myself of lately:
“Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged.” Matthew 7:1
|
|
Please be in prayer for a family that was involved in a very bad wreck over the weekend. One child was killed and several others injured. The Lord know who they are!

Although I am blessed with a good job, you are not alone. Lots of people are unemployed and right now, thousands up north are homeless. It can be tough to make it through times like this. Remember thate He has a plan for all of us and will always help us through anything. Continue to put your trust in Him and he will bless you

My favorite is Philippians 4:13:
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
