Stay Alert

Doug writes 

We have been told to Stay Alert - Christians couldn’t agree more:

Alert to our influence on those around us

Alert to our wastefulness which pollutes the planet

Alert to the wonder of life’s rich opportunities

Alert to the power of love

Alert to the mixture of truth, lies and deceit surrounding us

Alert to the possibility of forgiveness and newness

Alert to the Creator’s plan

Alert to the dangers of careless living for ourselves and society

Alert to the Presence of the Lord.

The World Peace Prayer

Lead us from death to life, from falsehood to truth,

From despair to hope, from fear to trust,

lead us from hatred to love, from war to peace;

peace fill our hearts, let peace fill our world, let peace fill our universe.

Let justice ever roll, let mercy fill the earth, let us begin to grow into your people.
