To Do What Is Right

I pray that one day Gustavus will stop condoning the rape culture that is rampant on this campus and instead condemn it. I pray one day women will again feel safe to walk across campus by themselves.

We pray to know more deeply that we are in the Garden, where every plant and animal and speck of dust
is a living prayer. We pray to be reminded that without our brothers and sisters of the plant and animal and mineral kingdoms, the human family would end. We pray to bless the Earth as the Earth blesses us. With thanks for the surprise and mystery of it all, we pray in the name of the Creator. Amen.

Gustavus Volleyball

2013-09-17 20:26:50 UTC

Today, we pray deep from our hearts for our volleyball coach and her family. Her brother-in-law is a junior in high school and he suffered a neck injury on Friday, September 13th, at a football game. He had a major surgery on Sunday, the 15th. This young man loves sports, and his life is football and hockey. Even though he was reaching his prime and was deepening his enjoyment for the sports, he can no longer play what his heart loves so earnestly. This is a difficult time for him as well as his family. They are very blessed that the injury was not worse than what happened, but they still have a hard battle to fight through. Please keep the Sherden family in your thoughts and prayers, giving this young man faith and courage to never give up and strength from the surgery and for healing as he is losing a part of his life that is very important to him. Thank you all. :)

Hi, please pray for someone named Lizzie/ Elizabeth to repent/ get saved including anyone she knows like her earthly family and anyone at this farm that I go to twice a week. May her heart be pure by God and/ or Jesus.

Please pray for a wrestler whose real name is Lexi to repent/ get saved including anyone she knows and worked with like her husband, her recently newborn daughter and friends.

Please pray for salvation/ repentance for my earthly family, aunties, cousins, uncles, earthly grandmother named Elizabeth including their friends and others.

Thank you.

Hi, there’s a cat named Cash who might be living in California (I could be wrong on that), I’m not sure if he has cancer or some other health issue. I hope he’s ok. Please pray that he gets the healing he needs and can live a while longer.

Also, there’s a lady named Lizzie who is someone who I definitely say I care about to bits, a friend to put it that way. She’s a special individual who means a lot to me I guess to put it this way. There are times she may not be on social media, at the moment I believe she’s back on but she’s trying to be careful due to her bad social media experiences so I currently don’t have any other communication other than seeing her on a Thursday when she’s around. Despite all that, please for her salvation/ repentance along with those she knows.

Also, please pray for my earthly family, uncles, councils, aunties, grandmother from my mum side along with others they know to receive salvation/ repentance. I’ll put this out there, one of my aunties named Moggie who’s in her early 60s suffered a blood hermage about 11 years ago. Thankfully, she survived but she hasn’t been the same since. If you like to pray for her healing, please do.

Thank you.
