Shalom, Heidi!

I went through Torah and found as many guidelines as I could. Some of them reminded me of other guidelines elsewhere in Scripture. I didnt write the corresponding verse numbers, but i did try to write a laymans rule for each statute. One that I had never noticed before, is that we are not to sell food to the poor for a profit. This strikes me, as I am trying to start a grocery and a free store/pantry in our little town. I finally have all the numbers calculated, and just need to plug them into the business plan. Tomorrow I have an online meeting with vocational rehabilitation to get things going. My biggest fear is that I wont get the real estste I have selected for this endeavor. Many people have been writing down the realtors number!

Thought for Today: Wednesday August 23:

Part of our job is simply to be... always attentive to what we are doing and what is going on inside us at the same time we listen and pay attention to the people and events around us. Part of our job is to expect that, if we are attentive and willing, God will "give us prayer", will give us the things we need, "our daily bread" to heal and grow in love.

PRAYERS QUOTING OLD TESTAMENT BOOKS – PART 3

O Adonai Yeshua Moshiach, Who is like the shadow of a great rock in a weary land, You see Your weak creatures weary of labour, weary of pleasure, weary of hope deferred, weary of self. In Your abundant compassion and fellow feeling with us, and with Your unspeakable tenderness, bring us, we pray, to Your rest. (1 Samuel 21).

O YHVH, You Who are the Author of love and the Lover of pure peace and affection, let all who are terrified by fears, afflicted by poverty, harassed by tribulation, worn down by illness, be set free by Your indulgent tenderness, rose up by renewal of life and cherished by Your daily compassion. (1 Samuel 30)

Almighty YHVH, Father of mercies and giver of comfort: Deal graciously, we pray, with all who mourn; that, casting their care on You, they may know the consolation of Your love; through Yeshua Moshiach our Adonai. (2 Samuel 1).

O blessed Adonai and Saviour, who has commanded us to love one another, grant us grace that, having received Your undeserved bounty, we may love everyone in You and for You. We ask Your compassion for all; but especially for the friends whom Your love has given to us. Love them, O Fountain of love and make them love You with all their heart, with all their mind and with all their soul, that they may speak and do only what is pleasing to You…. Do to them what is useful for them, according to Your will, that they would always and everywhere be ruled and protected by You, attaining everlasting life; and to You, with the Father and Ruach HaKodesh, be all honour and praise forever and ever. (2 Samuel 9).

May YHVH, Who pardoned David through Nathan when he confessed his sins, and Peter weeping bitterly for his denial, and the sinful woman weeping at his feet and the publican and the Prodigal Son, may the same Elohim forgive thee all things… . Have no further care for the sins which thou hast confessed, depart in peace. (2 Samuel 12).

O YHVH, the Source of all being and all joy, give us knowledge of ourselves, our powers and weaknesses, our spirit, our sympathy, our imagination, our knowledge, our truth; teach us by the standard of Your Word, by the judgments of others, by examinations of ourselves; give us the earnest desire to strengthen ourselves continually by study, by diligence, by prayer and meditation; and from all fancies, delusions and prejudices of habit or temper or society, save us and help us, we humbly beseech You, O Adonai. (1 Kings 3).

Almighty YHVH, enter our hearts and so fill us with Your love that, forsaking all evil desires, we may embrace You, our only good. Show us, in Your mercy Adonai Eloheinu, what You are to us. Say to our souls; I am Your salvation. Speak that we may hear. Our hearts are before you; open our ears; let us seek Your voice and cling to You. Do not hide Your face from us, we pray, O Adonai. Enlarge the narrowness of our souls that You may enter in. Repair the decayed mansions that You may dwell there. Hear us, O heavenly Father, for the sake of Your only Son, Yeshua Moshiach, our Adonai, who lives and reigns with You and Ruach HaKodesh, now and forever. (1 Kings 8).

Holy One, You promised the poor and needy ones that, when their tongues were parched and no water could be found, Your rivers would spring forth from the desert to relieve them. Today we thirst; bless us with Your living water. Break our drought; surge through our spirits, that we may live again. (1 Kings 17).

O Heavenly Father, the Father of all wisdom, understanding, and true strength, I humbly ask You to look mercifully upon me. Send Ruach HaKodesh into my heart, not only that I may understand according to Your wisdom how to bear temptation, but also how to defeat it. When I must join to fight in the field for the glory of Your Name, may I stand courageously in the confession of Your faith and truth, being strengthened by the defence of your right hand. May I continue to stand faithfully to the end of my life, through Yeshua Moshiach our Adonai. (1 Kings 22)

Father in heaven, draw our hearts to You, that our hearts may be where our treasures ought to be, that our minds and thoughts may look to Your Kingdom, whose citizens we are. Thus, when You shall call us hence, our departure may not be a painful separation from this world but a joyous meeting with You. Strengthen in our heart the conviction that in life, as in death, we belong to You. (2 Kings 2).

Gracious Father, we humbly beseech You for Your universal church. Fill it with all truth, in all truth with all peace. Where it is corrupt, purge it; and where it is in error, direct it; where it is superstitious, rectify it; where anything is amiss, reform it; where it is right, strengthen and confirm it; where it is in want, furnish it; where it is divided and rent asunder, make up its breaches, O Holy One of Israel. (2 Kings 12).

Adonai, teach me the art of patience while I am well and give me the use of it when I am sick. In that day either lighten my burden or strengthen my back. Make me, who so often in my health have discovered my weakness presuming on my own strength, to be strong in my sickness when I solely rely on Your assistance. (2 Kings 20).

Adonai Elohim, Abba, we know that we are dear children of Yours and that You are our beloved Father, not because we deserve it, nor could we ever merit it, but because our dear Adonai, Your only begotten Son, Yeshua Moshiach, wills to be our brother and of His own accord offers and makes this blessing known to us. Since we may consider ourselves his brothers and sisters and he regards us as such, You will permit us to become and remain Your children forever. (1 Chronicles 4)

O Adonai Yeshua Moshiach, Good Shepherd of the sheep, who came to seek the lost and to gather them to Your fold, have compassion on those who have wandered from You; feed those who hunger, cause the weary to lie down in your pastures, heal those who are broken in heart, and strengthen those who are weak, that we, relying on Your care and being comforted by Your love, may abide in Your guidance to our life’s end; through Yeshua Moshiach our Master. (1 Chronicles 11).

Almighty YHVH, Father of all mercies, we, Your unworthy servants, give You humble and heartfelt thanks for all Your goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all people. We bless You for our creation, preservation and all the blessings of this life, but above all for Your limitless love in the redemption of the world by our Adonai Yeshua Moshiach; for the means of grace and for the hope of glory. And, we humbly request, give us a sense of all Your mercies, that our heart may be openly thankful, and that we may show forth Your praise, not only with our lips but in our life, by giving up ourselves to Your service and by walking before You in Holiness and righteousness all our days, through Yeshua Moshiach our Saviour, to whom with You and Ruach HaKodesh be all honour and glory, world without end. (1 Chronicles 17).

Adonai Elohim, grant us grace to desire You with our whole heart, that so desiring, we may seek and find You; and so finding You, we may love You; and loving You, we may hate those sins from which You have redeemed us, for the sake of Maran Rabbeinu Yeshua Moshiach. (2 Chronicles 1).

Grant unto us, Almighty YHVH, the peace of Elohim that passes all understanding that we, amid the storms and troubles of this life, may rest in You, knowing that all things are within You. We are not only beneath Your eye but under Your care, governed by Your will and guarded by Your love. With a quiet heart may we see the storms of life, the cloud and the thick darkness, ever rejoicing to know that the darkness and the light are both alike to You. Guide, guard and govern us to the end, that none of us may fail to gain immortal life; through Yeshua Moshiach our Saviour. (2 Chronicles 14).

O gracious Father, who opens Your hand and fills all things living with plenteousness: Bless the lands and waters and multiply the harvests of the world; let Your Spirit go forth, that it may renew the face of the earth; show Your loving-kindness, that our land may give increase; and save us from selfish use of what You give, that men and women everywhere may give you thanks; through Moshiach our Adonai. (2 Chronicles 31).
