Pray

Thoughts, emotions, barely formed into images or words overflow from our experiences into the world around us.  In this space, a mixture of words, images, and videos seek to express the depth of living.  If you are in need of prayer, please Submit A Prayer Request and your prayer will be sent to the MCC Oasis Pastor.  
Prayer for Moving Forward
​

May my path be a goodness in the world.
One foot in front of the other, I move forward.
One decision at a time, my life changes and reforms.
One day, gives way to night, and then a new day.
their is great power in One.

One person can speak for many.
One voice of truth, can change the future.
One action, taken with conviction, can change reality.
I am One, who is moving forward. 

May my path be blessed, as I walk into the future.
May my footsteps be of benefit to others.
I am One, May my journey be joyous.

On Reflection...
A Coming Out Prayer
 
Anonymous
O God of truth and justice, the evasions and deceits we practice upon others and ourselves are many. 

We long only to speak out and to hear the truth, yet time and again, from fear of loss or hope of gain, from dull habit or from cruel deliberation, we speak half-truths, we twist facts, we are silent when others lie, and we lie to ourselves. 

Whether we are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning, family or friends, we sometimes feel forced to pretend to be that which we are not, to present ourselves in ways which are not truthful, and sometimes with outright lies. 

But as we stand before You, our words and our thoughts speed to One who knows them before we utter them. We do not have to tell untruths to You as we are often forced to do in the world. We know we cannot lie in your presence. 

May our worship help us to practice truth in speech and in thought before You, to ourselves, and before one another; and may we finally complete our liberation so that we no longer feel the need to practice evasions and deceits.

Amen

Ending HIV and AIDS One Prayer at a time!
Imagine millions praying to end the spread of HIV/AIDS! For almost three decades, people of faith have stood among the masses waiting for social, legislative, and scientific reforms to handle the business of recovering from HIV/AIDS. All the while our heads hung in despair and acceptance of HIV/AIDS as a disease that is larger than available and traditional defenses.
The reality, however, is that, as people of ALL faiths, we have not boldly, collectively, and efficiently tried our most powerful and demonstrated weapon against crises and turmoil in our lives: Prayer!

We invite any faith communities across the globe, regardless of your faith tradition, to join us in this If ever there was a time of crises, a time to pray and aggressively invoke the participation and presence of God, that time is now and that crisis is HIV/AIDS. Proven HIV Prevention Methods:
  • HIV testing and linkage to care
  • HIV medications
  • Access to condoms
  • Prevention programs for people with HIV/AIDS and their partners
  • Prevention programs for people at high risk for HIV infection
  • Substance abuse recovery programs and support
  • Screening and treatment for sexually transmitted infections

Ending HIV/AIDS throughout the World is Possible! Share this with others and ask them to be part of One Prayer at a Time.
