Ten years on from the global financial crisis, the prospects for a sustained economic recovery remain at risk due to a widespread failure on the part of leaders and policy-makers to put in place reforms necessary to underpin competitiveness and bring about much-needed increases in productivity, according to data from the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report 2017-2018.

Jesus,
I love to live in You
for in You, I’m full.
You take care of me very well.
You know all things I need,
as what I’ll eat, drink and wear.
I praise You
now and till the end of the age.
Amen.

telegraph.co.uk_In August last year, Sogyal Rinpoche, the Tibetan lama whose book The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying has sold more than three million copies around the world, and made him probably the best known Tibetan Buddhist teacher after the Dalai Lama, gave his annual teaching at his French centre Lerab Ling.
“Robam kbach boran,” or the art of Khmer classical dance, is more than 1,000 years old. It was developed as a prayer in movement for rain and fertility, and a prosperity that this meant for an agricultural society. Dancers who were both men and women were offered to temples where they served as living bridges between heaven and earth. Their dancing bodies carried the prayers of the people up to the gods, and the will of the deities was delivered back through them to the people and the land.
Jesus,
You “did not come to be served, but to serve”.
Today I want to live as you did,
living the serving life.
Amen.

Jesus,
To you, eating and drinking were the good things.
In the wedding at Cana,
you ate and drank with everyone.
When the wine ran out,
you turned water into wine.
The good wine.
This, the first of your signs you did.(1) Continue reading Prayer 268
