I pray for peace.
Peace that passes all understanding.
Peace that fills every corner of your home,
Ever corner of your heart,
Every corner of your life.
I pray for comfort.
Comfort that comes through the assurance
Of God’s great love for you.
No matter what, no matter when, no matter why
No matter what you have done or will do,
His love will always be there.
A love so powerful that
He gave up his heavenly rights and position of power
To become utterly vulnerable and totally dependent
So that He would be able to say without a doubt
That he understands fully what it means
To not be able to meet all his needs through his own works.
I pray for the gift of earthly hands, feet and voices that bring
Tangible evidence to you of that great Love in practical ways.
I pray for the grace for you to see your world
Through Christ’s eyes,
So you can see the gifts he pours out daily as a celebration of
His great love for you.
While we don't like to hear bad news and don't appreciate the
pronouncement of judgment on others, there is a time when it is
appropriate. Jesus was not only our sacrificial lamb, but he is
also our Chief Shepherd. When the earthly shepherds of his sheep do
not lead faithfully, he will demand harsh justice. This is a
warning to all who lead that they must do so faithfully and
tenderly. It is also a comfort to those who have been abused by
ungodly leaders -- God will wipe away your tears and he will bring
about a righteous justice to those who have abused the stewardship
of their pastoral calling.
I've used some poor judgement in the past,,,I have made some terrible mistakes which I deeply regret now..I am human,however,I have made these mistakes more than once. I mean,,does God forgive people who make the same mistakes over again? hmmmm..I wonder...Quite frankly tho,I am one of the nicest people you could ever meet,,just with "faults"..Doesnt everyone have faults? I've made some decisions in the past without thinking twice about it & now it has come back to haunt me,,but any decision I have ever made was not to deliberately hurt someone or make them angry,,Its not in my nature to "purposely" hurt anyone. Seems some people want to hurt "me" purposely tho...Why?? Is it in their nature to do so?...maybe..Do they honestly think that I am such a terrible person,that they feel the need to hurt me?..I dont know..Well,I am sorry to say that they have succeeded in hurting me. Will I try to get even with them?..NO..I am not that way..I care about peoples feelings,,even tho I have hurt some feelings,not purposely. How can people be so spiteful & cruel? I just dont know the answer to that one..I would like to be here to just have fun & get along with everyone..But the spitefulness has tired me 0:,(
Should I even bother to ask anyone to pray for me,in hopes that things will get better? I dont know any more,,Am I losing Faith? maybe..Should I keep praying for the spiteful ones?..I might..
Am I writing this for "attention"?..NO..This comes from deep inside my heart 0:-(
Take care...

P.S. Some advice,,,Before you make any decisions about anything,,dont think twice about it,,think a hundred times first
The last couple months have really been hectic for some of us,,isnt it wonderful to know in the midst of the storms in our life God is there,,2 Corinthians 1:3,4 says,"Blessed be the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Mercies & God of "all" comfort,who comforts us in "all" our tribulations...We can count on our God to see us through even the roughest of storms...I hope that in the aftermath of hurricanes that everyone can say thank you for our Lord bringing us safely through them 0:-)
Also,,,Fall is here again,,,it makes me want to spend more time outside enjoying the fresh air & scenery..Makes me think of all the wonderful things that go with this time of year,,,like Reeses peanut butter cups,hehe!0;-D hay rides,fellowships with good friends,bon fires,which we have quite often (with roasted marshmallows,no doubt) 0:-) This time of year also makes me think of other things,,,Things that are not as pleasant like raking my yard,blek..the loss of loved ones that have gone on,the fact that there are people that use this time to renounce our God & lift up satanic beliefs & their king & so on...There are two sides to "everything".The Bible tells us to think on the positive things in "everything" (Phil.4:8)God must be so pleased with His children when we choose to see the good,,,and dont you know its a personal victory when we rise above pondering on the negative & grasp what is pure & lovely & righteous. I will leave you with this thought:
There is good in everything,,The cool news is that we get to find it 0:-D
BananaD,You & your lil sis are in my thoughts & prayers,,I pray its not serious..
Redsales,I do not know Terry Trotter,but he will also be in my thoughts & prayers...I pray he gets the peace he needs
Prayer is powerful! As we grow in our understanding of that, our desire to pray grows. As our prayers turn outward, beyond just our own concerns and needs, God stirs our hearts to pray more. He opens our eyes to the outer circle of our lives and calls us to pray there too.
"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints" (Ephesians 6:18).
As God stirs your heart, you become aware of situations and people in your outer circle of life. You feel an interest and a concern. This is often God's call to pray. Learn to recognize it and embrace it as an opportunity to ask that God's Kingdom be established in that life or that situation.
This focus helps ward off judgment and criticism and asks the Holy Spirit to be at work in that particular life or circumstance.Pray for your church...especially for unity and for God to be glorified.Pray for your neighbors and your community. God may impress on you to pray for a specific home or for an area such as your schools or safety in your community.Pray for your city and your country and that the leaders would be led by God.Pray for missionaries or ministries God has brought to your attention.
Simply be alert. If a particular country or situation on the news pulls at your heart, quietly ask God to intervene there.
Ask God what is on His heart. Listen for His still, small voice to speak to you. Let God enlarge your circle of praying. When we invite Him to do that in us and through us it can become our natural response.
