Good morning Col Burroughs. I am a believer in getting on with what needs to be done regardless of what "condition" either I or my surroundings are in. I fix what I can and generally do my best to ignore the rest of it. If we wait to do things until we feel that conditions are perfect and timing is right, notbing at all will ever get done.

LTC Stephen F.
I expect that you are spiritually mature to be prepared to take on every challenge that lies ahead in your life since the LORD is sanctifying your soul. No doubt YOU realize that the LORD accepts you as you are since HE elected YOU for HIS own purposes. I also expect that you are no longer prejudiced for evil but are biased towards love 'Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.'' [Romans 15:7 ESV] Mark.
I pray that you and I have a daily habit of submitting our plans to the LORD and preparing to execute that plans as HE directs us day by day, hour by hour. Let us never rush in where angels fear to tread, my brother-in-Christ PVT Mark Zehner.
LORD I lift up estranged family members and friends to YOU. I pray that YOU motivate as many as YOU are willing to initiate reconciliation by confessing, repentance and forgiving as applicable.
I pray that married couples are demonstrating selfless and unconditional love for each other and that parents and grandparents demonstrate unconditional love for each other in front of the young and they assure the children/grandchildren that they are unconditional loved because of who they are independent of what they do and say.
LORD I pray that each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters takes YOUR admonishment to heart:
a. Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away.’ [Luke 21:33 ESV]
b. 'Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.'' [Romans 15:7 ESV]
c. 'Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. [1 Corinthians 13: 4-7]
LORD I lift the sick, the injured, the first responders and the medical professionals throughout the USA, as well as Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America to YOU. I pray that YOU bless each individual with wisdom and that YOU guide the mind and hands of each person treating, ministering to and caring for the sick and injured.
I pray that the elected leaders, legislators, and appointed individuals are blessed with wisdom to open up the local, state, provincial and national economies in a reasonable manner and that judges will exercise due diligence throughout the USA, as well as Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America
Thank you, LORD for YOUR Word on unconditional love and reconciliation.
a. 'Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. [1 Corinthians 13: 4-7]
b. 'Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight.' [Colossians 1_21-22 ESV]
c. 'Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.'' [Romans 15:7 ESV]
d. ‘Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away.’ “But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.” [Luke 21: 33-36]
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Thursday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
