Prayer for the Week of May 8-12, 2017

"God, Whom I worship and adore! I bear witness unto Thy unity and Thy oneness, and acknowledge Thy gifts, both in the past and in the present. Thou art the All-Bountiful, the overflowing showers of Whose mercy have rained down upon high and low alike, and the splendors of Whose grace have been shed over both the obedient and the rebellious.

O God of mercy, before Whose door the quintessence of mercy hath bowed down, and round the sanctuary of Whose Cause loving-kindness, in its inmost spirit, hath circled, we beseech Thee, entreating Thine ancient grace, and seeking Thy present favor, that Thou mayest have mercy upon all who are the manifestations of the world of being, and deny them not the outpourings of Thy grace in Thy days.

All are but poor and needy, and Thou, verily, art the All-Possessing, the All-Subduing, the All-Powerful."

Bahá’u’lláh1

I didn't get a lot accomplished today because we spent most of the morning in traffic court. After we left the courthouse we went to CVS on East Charleston and purchased some necessary items. When I came home I called my State Farm agent to see if I could get the monthly payment lowered. I removed the renter's insurance and added De to the policy. The monthly payment is only a few dollars lower, so I think I'll find a cheaper auto insurance company. I also transferred a little over $26.00 from my savings to the checking. I still have to get between $2.00 and $27.00 in the account this week. The surveys aren't helping yet, but maybe some will by the end of the week.
