Falling into the Father's Hands

As I write this post, September has officially arrived.  Summer is drawing to a close, even though the temperatures keep rising and it feels like summer.  We are starting our "normal" routines again and thinking about football and autumn leaves.

September is a wonderful time to get reconnected with the church.  Make Sunday morning worship a part of your weekly routine.  Join a Bible Study Group and dig deeper into God's Word.  Strengthen your commitment to Christ.  Grow closer in your relationship with him.

As I was preparing for the month of September, I came across a powerful prayer by Charles de Foucauld.  It is called,

"Prayer of Abandonment"

Father,

I abandon myself into your hands;

do with me what you will.

Whatever you may do, I thank you:

I am ready for all, I accept all.

Let only your will be done in me,

and in all your creatures -

I wish no more than this, O Lord.

Into your hands I commend my soul;

I offer it to you with all the love of my heart.

For I love you, Lord,

and so need to give myself,

to surrender myself into your hands,

without reserve,

and with boundless confidence.

For you are my Father.

I pray that this fall, you fall into the hands of our almighty and all-loving God.  Let God direct all of your steps.  Let God's will be done in you. 

This week in worship, we will get some guidance from a whale, as we focus on living a life that demonstrates Biblical respect for all people.  We would love to have you join us and we hope to see you on Sunday!

In His Love,
Pastor Linda
