Irish Grace Prayer

Posted on 2013-06-23 by JS

Note: At a Farewell dinner, the below prayer, Irish Grace prayer was used. Last Friday, I was asked to offer an invocation prayer at our Battalion Commander’s Farewell dinner. Some times, I craft up the prayer and other times I borrow a prayer from a source. This time, I opened up the book titled, The Notre Dame Book of Prayer, 49.          Irish Grace Prayer May this food restore our strength, giving new energy … Continue reading →

Is there a formula for dating? For the last few days, I have been mediating on the biblical story The journey of Abraham’s servant to Mesopotamia, His meeting with Rebekah.  It is a story of Abraham’s servant went back to his hometown in finding Rebekah, a soul-mate for Issac. And so, there is a discovered question posed by Derek Prince, “should [we] pursue the course of Abraham’s servant, who combined trust in God’s sovereignty with a plan to … Continue reading →

a Couples retreat, a Prayer & a Divorce

Posted on 2013-03-17 by JS

Last weekend, we went to Portland and conducted a 3-day Strong Bonds Couples retreat. And, a friend and I went to the famously known bookstore. Powell’s City of Books is an independent bookstore in Portland, Oregon, that fills a whole city block with more than a million new, used, and out of print books. (My kind of heaven on earth with a cup of java, too!!). As usual, I was on the look-out in finding … Continue reading →

Room @the Table

Posted on 2013-03-14 by JS

Tonight, around dinner time, the children of the family living upstairs were louder than preferred. So, I decided to drive to the Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurant (a favorite of mine!) to dine at the Table by myself and craft tomorrow’s invocation prayer for the Battalion’s formal dinner. I ordered salad & brown rice with chicken/beef along with all the goodies on top and asmall cup of unsweeten tea. Before I left the house, I quickly … Continue reading →

prayerlessness

Posted on 2012-05-06 by JS

A prayerless soul is a Christless soul.–C.H. Spurgeon. Last Friday, I went to visit a friend of mine. And during this visit, he had a prayer meeting at his house. As everyone was praying, I was reminded of the importance of prayer. And being silent before God, I was impressed on the importance of prayer. And then I came to the realization of three profound insights: 1) God is always moved by prayer, 2) I … Continue reading →

Listening defined

Posted on 2011-05-20 by JS

One night last week, I watched Mike Huckabee on television tell the world that he removed his name for the presidential run (click here to read more). What was the reason? Political? No. Financial? No. Practical? No. Personal? Maybe. Spiritual? Yes. Surprised? Absolutely. How does one hear from God? Is listening limited to hearing? Sometimes God speaks clearly and audible that has nothing to do with sounds but with the heart. Sometimes hearing God is … Continue reading →
