XXVI
A Silver
Chain
ach Wednesday we turn the hour over to
God, asking Him to pray through us. And He does, putting the
concerns on our hearts and giving us the words to pray for
them. Last week, He showed us how each prayer was a link in a
chain. Each link attached to the previous one, extending the
chain closer to where it was going – which only He
knew.
Basil had suggested that instead of
petitioning Him for our needs, and interceding for the needs
of others as we envisioned them, we should give Him a gift of
thanks, devoting the entire hour to thanking Him for all that
He had done.
So – we did. The time flew. In recent
weeks the hours have been accelerating. This one was the
quickest of all. And as we lifted each prayer of thanks, we
became aware of
the continuity in them. Each link was a progression of
the previous links. We were a prayer team, forming a silver
chain. And the key was to listen carefully in our hearts,
before we added the next link.
Before we departed, Marilou received an
encouragement for all of us.

My children, it pleases me that you are here today. Your faith
is the gift that is most important to me. With your faith,
mountains will be moved and closed doors – and hearts – opened
in my name. My plan will be fulfilled for the city of
Boston, the USA, and the rest
of the world. Your are lights in the darkness. My light shines
through you, more and more each day. Thank you, my children,
for your faithfulness. |
