<div></div><blockquote><div>In the the original Aramaic language, Maranatha meant “Come, Lord Jesus.” I think that it is and ancient way to invite the Lord into our lives, our struggles and our darkness. When we ask Him to come we are admitting our need for him and our trust in him. So let's pray.<br /><br />I think that many of us are desperate Lord. We have been dealing with pain for a long time. We are struggling and hoping to find hope. Each day we rise to new challenges. Friends abandon us and life seems dark. We want to be loved but love is nowhere to be found.<br /><br />Take our lives and make them better. Bring divine beauty from our early ashes. Help us to know how to live. Teach us how to deal with our pain. Bring people into our lives that will bless us. And bless us that we might bless others. We give ourselves and our lives to you Lord</div><div><br /></div><div>Maranatha. Come Lord Jesus. Amen.</div></blockquote><div></div><br /><hr />

<div><blockquote>Teach us Lord,<br /><br />To take time to really hear what our family and friends are saying.<br /><br />To see with our inner eyes and feel what others are feeling.<br /><br />To enter into the suffering of others knowing you are with us.<br /><br />To walk with the poor, the sick and the dying.<br /><br />To love others the way that you love them.<br /><br />Amen. And Amen.</blockquote></div><div><br /></div><hr />
