prayer for our leaders...

a prayer I found today on boundless

"Father of Lights, the time is dark and our eyes are dim. Our kings, ordained for the protection of the weak, expose them to death, yet cry 'hope.' Our people have lost their way and are deceived. Light in the Darkness, we call upon you that we may be undeceived and follow you once more. We humbly and earnestly implore you, not only that the evils in the land be turned back, but that we have the courage to stand against them. Holy Spirit, hear our intercession for the repentance and conversion of those highly placed who do wrong. Renew a right spirit within them. We beg the same mercy for ourselves, who have stood by and called evil good. Assist our prayers, and enable us in all times and places to give you thanks. In the Name of the Trinity, Amen."

freely you shall recieve as you freely give

I stumbled upon this one today while going through my google reader.

Change your mindset for a great 2009

It got my attention and reminded me of the way transactions work in Heaven and that it is more blessed to give than it is to receive.

Acts 20:35
