Instructions
This is a prayer tag and link for the Philippines and the Filipinos. You are enjoined to utter this prayer for nine (9) consecutive days and to tag as many bloggers as you can with preference for Filipinos. But only bonafide Filipinos shall be included in the official registry of Filipino bloggers in this blog.

Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, we consecrate to you our beloved country- the Philippines and all the Filipinos around the world. We acknowledge Father that apart from You, we can do nothing and it is only your divine providence and grace that can unite all Filipinos as one nation. We therefore humble ourselves before your throne. We confess all our sins to you individually and collectively as a nation. Forgive us our sins Father and wash us clean by the precious blood of Your beloved Son- Jesus Christ. Mend our wicked ways and let us experience a strong and genuine spiritual revival for ourselves and for our country. Let the Holy Spirit imbibe us with power, love and wisdom to return to Your path of holiness and righteousness. Bless our country, heavenly father. Bless all Filipinos wherever they maybe. Let progress, unity, harmony, stability, justice, peace and prosperity reign in our country. Bless our leaders, from the President down to the lowest Barangay official. Touch their hearts that they may serve our country with all honesty and with love and integrity. Bless our children and our future generation. And bless us all Father in all aspects of our lives. This we pray to You heavenly Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.

A Rainbow Prayer in Time of Grief

Scarlet

I got this prayer from St. Margaret of Scotland, a Catholic Church close to my place. I just want to share this to all of you especially those who still in grief like me.

"How can a void be filled and pain eased from losing a loved one or friend? Did that one walk with the Lord or are we left to wonder. Either way, grief remains -- deep, sharp with no solace in sight. On the day of the funeral it often rains; if not outwardly, in our hearts. How appropriate it matches the tears we shed. Yet, as a glimmer of sunlight cuts through our rain, we see again God's everlasting promise arrayed in glorious color. Each shade reminds us of His many promises:

RED , for His Love

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only son so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life.

ORANGE, His warm healing and comfort

Matthew 5:4 - Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.

YELLOW, The sun that will shine again

Jeremiah 31:13 - Then the virgins shall make merry and dance, and young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into joy; I will console and gladden them after their sorrows.

GREEN, His help for us to grow

Peter 2:2 - Like newborn infants, long for pure spiritual milk so that through it you may grow into salvation.

BLUE, His unending faithfulness

Psalm 56:3-4 - My foes treat me harshly all the day; Yes, many are my attackers; O Most High, when I am afraid, in you I place my trust.

INDIGO, we are children of the King

Luke 20:36 - They can no longer die, for they are like angels; and they are the children of God because they are the ones who will rise.

VIOLET, a new song to return in His time

Song of Solomon 2:12 - For see, the winter is past, the rains are over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of prunning the vines has come, and the song of the above is heard in our land.

As we focus on His love and word, in time He will fill our void and loneliness and heal our pain. "
