Goodnight precious friends and family. We hope that your week is off to a great start and that everyone is doing well. There are so many animals and so many people that need our prayers. Not just tonight but every night.
Looking around at the state of the world can be discouraging. All over the world, living beings are suffering . It is difficult not to get pulled into hopelessness and to not feel like giving up. From the beginning of time, this has been the case. It’s important to do your best to keep your heart open and not become cynical. Even after your heart has been broken before. Even if you don’t see “rewards”. It is never wrong to offer kindness to another. It is always the right thing to do.
The best way to learn this openheartedness, is simply by watching your pet. Animals really offer an unbiased, non judgmental love and devotion, that is unmatched in most cases. Animals don’t care what you look like, how old you are, what your religion is or how much money is in your bank account. They come to you with an open heart and offer unconditional love. If you treasure them, they will be the best friends that you have ever had.
All of us have this same potential within us. All of us have the capacity to clear the slate in our minds, and Greet each new person with an open heart, just like our four legged loved ones. We can show love and kindness to others, in our every day actions and words. Always try your best to do that. You never know how much that gesture can mean to another, who has lost faith in this world.
It’s hard to believe that so many animals, the most loving creatures on earth, are being tossed out like garbage, murdered, abused and neglected. Instead of being protected and loved, so many of these precious angels are being hunted for “Sport”, used as bait for animal fighting and millions upon millions are being euthanized. This is such an abomination and such an abuse of Gods gifts to us. We pray for an end to this cruelty. We pray for an immediate end to this atrocity. God bless and protect these precious angels.
We ask for prayers tonight for our dear friend Stuart and his beloved Father. Stuart’s Father suffered a cardiac incident and needs our prayers and support. God bless Stuarts Dad and carry him through this. Please heal him, Dear God. Please restore him to optimal health. We pray for comfort for Stuart and his whole family, as they remain strong for his father.
Very strong pray requests going out tonight for Austin Newcomb, of Selden, NY. Austin is a dear friend of our friend Jill P. and her family’s. Austin was hit by a hit and run driver and has been in a coma since before last Easter. His parents, his family and his friends, have been at his bedside and praying for his recovery, ever since then. His family is heartbroken but will never give up hope. Austin has a lot of love around him and the support of his Long Island Community. He is only a teenager and he needs our full support and our strongest, most heartfelt prayers.
For more information on Austin and his story visit his FB page , https://www.facebook.com/pages/Team_Austin/352034251583170?fref=ts&refid=12
There is a charity event being held in his honor, to help with the costs of his much needed care. It will be held in Merrick, Long Island. His family and friends are asking for support.

God bless Austin. He is so loved and so needed. So many that know and love him, are praying for his full recovery. His parents need our help. Dear God, please awaken Austin from his coma. Please bring him back to his parents who live and breathe for him. Please heal this boy. He has his whole life ahead of him. God, please help him. We send love to Austin, his family and friends. We are asking God for a miracle because it is much needed.
No lives will go in vain. No pain will go unnoticed. Amen.
Love from,
Jessica Lee Smith,
