OFFERING OF YOUR PRAYERS FOR THE ADVENT OF JESUS AND UNIVERSE WELLBEING / Meaning of Yom Kappur

« on: September 15, 2021, 12:49:17 pm »

 
Yesterday at dinner a Jewish friend of mine mentioned how good it was to observe Rosh Hashana Jewish New year on Zoom -- virtually. The pandemic prevented the gathering together, and she isn't able to travel 75 miles any more for these festivals.

 
I agreed that Zoom is good because I can hear better.
Colbert mentioned it is not good to say Happy Yom Kappur. because it is the day of Atonement.
The Jews say to one another in Hebrew, "May your name be written in the Book of Life".
How touching.

 
I hope these Jewish holidays be the fulfillment of their hopes and dreams. -- the King of Kings to come among us. Not that Israel rule the world with the capital at Jerusalem, but rather that the King be among us in a world wide family .

 
The Feast of Tabernacles portrays the Kingdom in its familial interpretation, the whole world at peace among ourselves. What a vision! What a future reality!

 
I feel we have to give credit and allowance for the efforts of those who really want to see the coming of Jesus -- though our ignorance doesn't take us very far down the road.
A prayer:  "May your names be written in the book of Life."

OFFERING OF YOUR PRAYERS FOR THE ADVENT OF JESUS AND UNIVERSE WELLBEING / Afghan Women

« on: July 17, 2021, 11:13:21 am »

Hello Everyone, In posting this I pray that this  forum be protected from possible political backlash.  

 
Dear God,

 
It was said that we commune with God without words.
Maybe so.
It is impossible to put bliss into words.
But I feel that there are many celestials who wait for our words to be made clear.

 
How do we pray unless we use verbs, nouns, and who, what, why ? Maybe the how and when are debatable. but we can still put our requests before God, and then wait, silently and patiently.

 
I pick up the newspaper, or listen to the evening news, and I am horrified.
Are not these things to pray about?

 
Dear God,
Americans are wordlessly, silently, and with no feeling of accomplishment, departing from Afghanistan. Are we happy to be done with an endless war that drained resources and claimed lives?
Oh my God! the women!
Two thirds of the men in Afghanistan believe that it is against the will of Allah for girls to go to school. They think the women have too many "rights". The Taliban is moving in without a fight. The total victory of Lucifer prevails, and there is nothing but death in store for the women who want to learn, to be themselves. to be constructive members of society besides just bearing male children. Girls are married off at the age of 12. They are bought and sold like cattle.  Their minds, bodies and souls are of no consequence.

 
Dear God! they are your daughters! The guns still work. The women are terrified. The Americans in Afghanistan were the ones who made sure the girls got to school. Now they are weeping to see the Americans leave, because there is no future for them.

 
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done.

 
Forgive.
Who is going to listen to Jesus? The women? You bet. The men? . . . . .
Dear God, those wonderful beautiful people need you so badly.

 
Set those women who seek knowledge, wisdom, and understanding with a protection only you can provide. Let those women show the men what you are like.

 
Our Father Who art in heaven -- let the heaven of our minds be Your dwelling place.
You dwell with those of a sincere and contrite heart.
Let our hearts and Yours, Lord go out to the untold suffering of those Afghan women.
Let Your's, not Allah's will be done.
Engage!
