Currently, Rev. Timothy Fountain, a L&B intercessor, is leading a 40-day period of prayer and fasting for the Lakota Indian Rosebud Reservation, which has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. Please follow his prayers at Northern Plain Anglicans.
Dear Lord,
The earth is full of Your steadfast love. By Your word, the heavens were made, and the starry host by the breath of Your mouth.
Speak Your light into the Rosebud Reservation. Breathe Hosannas into the air.
By ancient glaciers, You shaped the soil of South Dakota into hills and plains.
Wash away the violence and shed blood, the curses and condemnation. Sow seeds of Alleluias into the soil
You gathered the waters of the Keya Paha River, the Little White River, and the Minnechaduza Creek in their courses. Pour out Your blessings into these waters. Stir new songs of praise into its currents.
Bellow shouts of triumph, O boulders. Whisper sonnets of love, O wind. Clap Your hands, O trees. Rejoice, Rosebud. Rejoice. The kingdom of God is at hand. Amen.
I don’t know who you are or where you’re from, but thank-you.
I am in agreement with your prayer.
I work on the Rosebud reservation and pray every day for the people.
I see God continueing to work even when man gives up there.
Thank-you.
