Longing to know and react to Your Desires

Prayer of thanks and longing to know and react to Your desires:

offered by Yn. Susan Movsesian, June 18, 2025

Lord, we can always count on you to hear our prayers. This I was taught and learned from a very young age. In my family we have our parents, especially our father to thank for this, as we were immersed in our Armenian church, practicing compassion, living our faith and growing our community/family in God's presence.

A parent's sacrifices are many and their love endless. I imagine, not unlike the love our Heavenly Father shared with us through You, Lord, offering the ultimate sacrifice.

We recently celebrated parenting on Mother's Day followed by Father's Day, with much joy and appreciation for all the sacrifice's and love that go into parenting. To our parents/teachers, we give thanks.

The way You always hear our prayers, Lord, it is my hope that we hear Your prayers and desires. Singing praises and standing before You at the altar are valuable components in worshiping together, too, I've also come to know, through Your example that what we do to the least of our brothers, we do unto You. This, I strive to practice in my daily life...

Lord, hear my prayers and help me to see and reflect You in all things, and treat all your creation, with love and respect.

Walking in Your light.
Amen
