End of the World – A Prayer

posted by mherringshaw1

“God, you were in the beginning, and before. You will also be in the end, and beyond. As you intended the beginning, you intend the end. You are I AM, ever present. While all things began from you and will end in you, at present all holds together in you.

You are Alpha and Omega, beginning and end. You don’t tell us how things will end. You don’t tell us when. You simply tell us to live with temporality as our baseline, urgently and intentionally knowing that one day the end – either by our own death, or by your return – will come / is coming.

You tell us how to live urgently. In Matthew 25 you warn us we will be waiting – for a long season – for your culmination.  What do we do while we are waiting? 1) We keep alert and remain prepared with “oil in our lamps.” 2) We leverage our resources for a great return to deliver to you. 3) We care for the broken and needy because they are your representational presence until your imminent presence arrives.

Father, the end is coming. We don’t know when or how; but we trust you. All the while, we are waiting, but not passively, frantically or fearfully. We wait deliberately. We trust you with our own endings and we can trust you with the world’s ending. And while we wait, we work with Jesus!”

First of all i want to thank Diana for the post she made on how Dr. Wicca helped her in bringing back her lover. At first when i saw the posting i was so happy and in the other hand so scared, that this might be scam then i decided to give it a try in which i contacted Dr. Wicca and told him how my lover left me for another lady for the past 8 months now and i have been lonely without her. The spell he cast to bring my lover back was outstanding because i got a text from my girlfriend saying she is sorry and now she is back to me again.

I’m so happy today and am also thanking Diana for posting this early. Dr. Wicca is truly a man of his word. I can surely recommend Dr. Wicca to any body reading this to him for whatever problem you are experiencing. You can contact him on dr.wiccahightemple@gmail.com or his personal cell #+2348097350565.

All their effort to reunite us failed they even bought me a new car just to make me happy still was sad and was not doing well with my studies until this faithful day which i can never forget 29th November 2012 when i went online in search for a solution to my problem i saw numerous post about dr kayode and their stories prompted my to contact him behold after 48 hrs my ex called and said it has been a mistake from the unset to have broken up with me that he need me back in his life was so happy that finally i have my man back.

My whole life has bounced back after the work of great Dr kabaka who restored my marriage. my lover ang i have been apart for over 9mothns, i have contacted so many spell casters to help me, but all of them failed me and went away with my money. A friend introduced me to this powerful man called Dr kabaka. my friend told me how he helped him and many other people to get their lover back. I actually contacted him, behold he actually did the spell and my lover came back to appollogized to me. today we are happy again and living together as we used to be. I urge every one on this site searching for a real spell caster to go straight to Dr kabaka. he is a powerful man he will surely help you.

You may think spell casting is not real and it just an art of scam you’ve got to think again cos Dr momodo a great spell caster is a life and relationship builder.He does all kind of relationship i know these cos he help me.My name is Selina and i am homosexual.My entire life i have had problem with my school mate because i am different, yes i am a lesbian and even the lesbian girl Michelle i was secretly in love with didn’t if even pay any attention to me.It was okay that is was different cos she so cool and hot and sexy so no one really cared that she was a lesbian but me i was a laughing stuck.I tried all i could to make her notice me but she keep blowing me off i mean am not that bad i have got good body at least i know that before any one knew that i was a lesbian a lot guys tried to hit on me.So i made up my mind that i will make her love me back even if i die trying.i had the INTERNET as my personal guard i tried all the ideal i could find which include making a video of myself confessing my love but it only made it bad the entire school saw the video which was so humiliating.the only thing that actually worked was Dr momodo spell.I contacted him with his email i saw in a comment on Internet.I never thought i will ever get myself involved in spell casting stuff but there i was contact the one man who helped me.He asked for some material which he was going to use to cast the spell but i could not get it any where i literally begged him to accept the 1000 dollars i was to use to get the thing i could not find of course with the help of my mom she had my back all though.two week after he completed and made the spell effective Michelle was my we started dating and it has been just like that ever since then.Michelle is madly in love with me and we had the most romantic 9 month anniversary yesterday Dr momodo just as he promised kept a smile on my face.You can contact him with his email momodospelltemple@yahoo.com
