Psalm 23
“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.”
Our prayers this night are for the families, soldiers, friends and coworkers of the men and women who were gunned down at Ft. Hood today. This tragedy is unspeakable and devastating. Please pray for them and the dangerous work that our soldiers perform.
Prayer: Father, thank You for today and for Your Son Jesus Christ. You saw what happened today at Ft. Hood. Our hearts are saddened and hurt by this unnecessary act of violence. Help those who suffer this night the great loss of unexpected death and wounding. Heal them and strengthen them. We pray also for those who committed these senseless acts that they may come to You and seek forgiveness from those whom they harmed. In Jesus’ Name we pray. AMEN.
About Me
- Rev. Wayne
- I was called to the ministry in 1968 but ran. I spent time in the corporate world as an accountant. I eventually answered God's call on my life and left the corporate world, graduated from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University and am presently the founding pastor of a Congregational Methodist Church. My wife and I have been married 38 wonderful years and we share our home with our black Labrador retriever. I believe that the Word of God is contained in the Old and New Testaments - that Word is Jesus Christ.
