The CWG Prayer Chain Post is a weekly post for members to include their special intentions by adding a comment.
Sirach 15:15-20
If you choose you can keep the commandments, they will save you; if you trust in God, you too shall live; he has set before you fire and water to whichever you choose, stretch forth your hand. Before man is life and death, good and evil, whichever he chooses shall be given him. Immense is the wisdom of the Lord; he is mighty in power, and all-seeing. The eyes of God are on those who fear him; he understands man’s every deed. No one does he command to act unjustly, to none does he give license to sin.
The power of prayer and the power of people praying.
FEBRUARY INTENTION PRAYER
First Corinthians 13:4-13
Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, it is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing. For we know partially and we prophesy partially, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things. At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known. So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Please keep my 90-year-old father in your prayers. He is on Hospice. Last week, he was moved from assisted living to a nursing home because of the need for skilled nursing care. I couldn’t bear it. Three days later, I brought him home to live with me and my husband. Please pray that his journey (rapid decline in physical health as he moves into late-stage Alzheimer’s) be as smooth as possible, and that my husband and I can meet the physical and emotional challenges ahead as we try to make his final time on Earth as peaceful as possible.
