Scripture Prayer

Psalm 40: 3 and 5

He put a new song in my mouth,

   a song of praise to our God. 
Many will see and fear,
   and put their trust in the Lord.

 You have multiplied , O Lord my God,

   Your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;
None can compare with You!
I will proclaim and tell of them,
   yet they are more than can be told.

Father God, we thank You for the blessed time that Father Shaw spent in Belize.  Thank You that his travel was safe and on time.  Thank You for the way that You orchestrated all meetings, talks and events.

 Thank You for all the new responsibilities that Father Shaw has now picked up.  Be with him Lord, in all that He does for You.  Help him with travel arrangements in for the Advent retreat in Belize and for the January 2014 trip as well as one after Ash Wednesday and another after Ascension Day.  Lord, please provide the necessary energy and the needed financial provision to make all these journeys!

Please bless the Skype meetings between Father Shaw and those on the ordination track.  Lord, we pray that Father Shaw’s role may be according to your strategic plan for the Diocese of Belize.

Lord, You have put a new song into Father Shaw’s mouth, a song of praise that we, the intercessors, sing along with.  We know that because of his expanding role in Belize, many more people will see and fear and put their trust in You.  You have multiplied the possibilities, Lord, and have blessed Fr. Shaw and his family abundantly.  May Fr. Shaw and his students proclaim and tell of your wondrous deeds.
 

Amen.
