Scripture Prayer

Proverbs 3: 5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

And do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He will make straight your paths.

Father God, we thank You that Father Shaw Mudge trusts You with all his heart and acknowledges You in all his ways.  Thank You that You keep his paths straight.

Lord we send up special prayers for Father Shaw’s trip to Belize.  This will be the longest stay to date.  We pray for travel mercies both to Belize on Friday September 26 and returning to the US on October 13.  Be with him throughout his travels and in every activity that the bishop assigns to him.

We pray specifically for the special presentation he will make at the Synod; for his leading of the pre-ordination retreat; and for his participations in the installation of a rector and in the ordinations.  May your Holy Spirit be with him as he spreads the love of Jesus to the people of Belize.  May every interaction be a blessing as Father Shaw  will be a fruitful servant for the Kingdom of God.

We pray for the Mudge family while Father Shaw is away.  Lord, keep them healthy and safe.  We pray for a buyer for their town house in the Albany area and for continuing financial provision.

Thank You Lord for every blessing!  Amen.
