Christ's Church of Oronogo - Pathways

Because God lives in us, here are seven individual ways we can face today and tomorrow with God include: 1.    Focus on Who God is and what He means to you2.    Prayer that acknowledges who He is as well as casting your cares on Him 3.    Meditate on verses that comfort you  4.    Trust God, 5.    Seek peace through reliance on His presence.6.    Set realistic goals to keep our lives focused on living as God would want us to live, and 7.    Using practical strategies to manage the stresses that we feel. Walter Harrington penned this prayer Blessed are you, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who brings everything into being. Who gives the sun and the rain, the continuing cycles that bring forth life.Who appoints the days and the seasons to bless the sons of men.Blessed are you, O Lord our God, King of the universe, whose breath goes forth and sustains all. Who is in all and through all, a God near and not far. In whom we live and move and have our being.Blessed are you, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who brings forth bread from the earth.Who gives fertility to our lands, and blesses our tables with food.Who is the true bread of Life.Blessed are you, O Lord our God, King of the universe, whose mighty hand is seen in creation. Who is more vast than the ocean, mightier than the storm, and more gentle than the still small voice.At whose voice the waters are stilled, and the winds obey.Blessed are you, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who loves beyond measure.Who stepped down into the creation, to become one of us.Who lived among us, and identified with us.Blessed are you, O Lord our God, King of the universe, whose loving kindness endures forever.Who did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself.Who took the form of man, of a servant, and humbled himself and was obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.Blessed are you, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who raised the Savior from the grave. Who buried sin and defeated death.Who brought victory to the world, and offered salvation to we who have been ensnared by that final enemy.Blessed are you, O Lord our God, King of the universe, whose love has redeemed us and given us true life, life everlasting. Through whom we have the sure hope of salvation, the renewal of all things.May the earth be filled with your knowledge and glory, as waters that cover the sea. Maranatha. Come, Lord Jesus.
