PS 126:1bc-2ab, 2cd-3, 4-5, 6R. (5) Those who sow in tears shall reap rejoicing.When the LORD brought back the captives of Zion,we were like men dreaming.Then our mouth was filled with laughter,and our tongue with rejoicing. R. Those who sow in tears shall reap rejoicing.Then they said among the nations,“The LORD has done great things for them.”The LORD has done great things for us;we are glad indeed.R. Those who sow in tears shall reap rejoicing.Restore our fortunes, O LORD,like the torrents in the southern desert.Those that sow in tearsshall reap rejoicing.R. Those who sow in tears shall reap rejoicing.Although they go forth weeping,carrying the seed to be sown,They shall come back rejoicing,carrying their sheaves. R. Those who sow in tears shall reap rejoicing.

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, have mercy on us and forgive us.Let your gentle hand guide us and keep us from all evil. Downpour your mercy on us and fill us with your Holy Spirit. This we ask in your Holy Name oh Lord. Amen.

John 1:12-13 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

Psalm 50:14-15 14 Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,and perform your vows to the Most High, 15 and call upon me in the day of trouble;I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I come to You today with a heavy heart, for the Palestinian people are suffering, for the Syrian people are suffering. Children, pregnant woman, elderly people and innocent civilians are being slaughtered, and this should not be!All the Syrian people want, all the people of Palestine want is to be free. However, satan has unleashed great punishment on them by entering into the hearts of leaders that seek to dominate and destroy one another.Grant merciful and precious Heart that there be an end to this reign of terror. Replace to leaders who seek to lead by the use of brutal force and who desire to dominate others with leaders who love You. Have mercy on all who suffer from war, come into their hearts and allow them to see You so that they can become your followers, an if they already follow You, fill their hearts with hope, joy and the ability to endure until the war stops. Amen.

Psalm 18:1-2 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord, who addressed the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord rescued him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said:18:1 I love you, O Lord, my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

The Middle East, where there is so much chaos going on is in desperate need of Jesus Christ. Although there are some Christians in the region, they are a minority. However the power, the government, the military is ruled by those who often times are enemies of Christ.Let us focus our prayers in that region, and let us ask the Sacred Heart of Jesus to touch the hearts of those who do not follow Christ in that region. That the Holy Spirit will stir up a revival in the middle east. Also, tonight let us pray for the conversion of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani who is the Emir of Qatar , and for the hearts of many to be touched in Qatar so that they will convert to Christ Jesus in great numbers.

Isaiah 55:8-9 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth,so are my ways higher than your waysand my thoughts than your thoughts.

1 Kings 3:5-12At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask what I should give you." And Solomon said, "You have shown great and steadfast love to your servant my father David, because he walked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward you; and you have kept for him this great and steadfast love, and have given him a son to sit on his throne today. And now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David, although I am only a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. And your servant is in the midst of the people whom you have chosen, a great people, so numerous they cannot be numbered or counted. Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, able to discern between good and evil; for who can govern this your great people?" It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this. God said to him, "Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches, or for the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right, I now do according to your word. Indeed I give you a wise and discerning mind; no one like you has been before you and no one like you shall arise after you."

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on the children, elderly, woman and civilians in Gaza and Palestine. They have been oppressed for years by Hamas and by those in Israel that are bent on domination. They are caught in the middle with nowhere to go. Many of them are our Christian brothers and sisters and we know we have a responsibility to You oh Lord to pray for them.Lord Christ, set the people of Gaza and Palestine free. Touch the hearts of those who follow Hamas, and those within the Israeli leadership who seem to be more militant so that they may convert to you Christ. Bring a revival to Palestine and Israel, that they may become a people in Your image Christ. This is the only gateway to peace amongst Palestine and Israel, you as their King and as their God. Amen.

Matthew 6:2-4 2 Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Romans 8:12-25Brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh-- for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, "Abba! Father!" it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ-- if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God; for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

James 5:7 Patience in Suffering7 Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.

James 1:2121 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

Matthew 6:24 24 No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
