Does anyone want to join me in starting a prayer link? I'm thinking it might enhance our prayerlives and we could encourage each other and especially put ourselves in God's will through prayer. The idea being that AT LEAST once a day, somone adds a prayer to the post and we see how we go.
I might start:
Jesus,
Thanks for this site and that we can all encourage each other. Thanks for coming down and saving us and being our Lord and our brother and friend. Thanks for knowing everything we are going through and giving us the hope of a perfect life in you, once this is all over.
I pray that you consider us here on this site. Lord, so many of us are struggling with our weight, hormones and health. Please enable this trial to bring us closer to you, building perserverance and character and faith and increasing our longing for you and the day of your return. Please, Jesus, if it be your will, we pray that you help us who are trying to to lose weight. Please help us to know how to do this, to make the right choices each day and to give us the willpower and perserverance. Please may we see weight loss and feel encouraged. Thank you for understanding that this means a lot to us and for caring.
Fo those who are trying to concieve, I pray that you bless them with wonderful, healthy children. Lord, please don't hold back on them but bless them out of your great mercy. I pray that these children are committed to you in order that they may increase your glory.
Lord, I pray for the war. Lord, please minimise the suffering of those involved. Please extend your comfort and mercy to the suffering soldiers, civilian, families and the leaders. Please, Jesus, protect the innocent.
Please be in each of us to increase the joy we experience in you despite the trials and disappointments of daily living.
Thank you, Jesus, May we be your children and your agents each day
I like this idea. I would love to participate, but you have to be patient with me because I have never felt like I could express how I feel or what I want to say.
Dear Lord: I thank you for this beautiful day. I thank you for the many blessings you have bestowed in our lives and I ask that you continue to bless us. Please be with us in all that we do. Give us the guidance and understanding to forgive the people who have hurt us and please forgive us for our hurts toward other people. I ask that you be with my Cysters on this site on a hourly, daily, basis. Touch their lives so that with every step that we take, we will be mirrors of you and your perfection. Keep harm and evil away from us. Put a hedge of protection around us so that we will not fall or stumble in our walk with you. I thank you and praise your Holy name!
I have had a week of problems getting on to this site but I'm back.
Thanks Lord for answering prayer and listening to us. Thanks that we can talk to you anytime and know you listen and understand everything we think and feel.
Thank you for loving us so much, for loving us perfectly, that your love for us is so huge and so perfect that you would even die for us, suffer for us.
I pray for a swift end to the suffering in this war. Lord, please comfort the families of those who have been killed. Lord, please, please ease the suffering of those families whose children have been tortured to punish them for resisting Saddam's forces. Lord, this suffering of innocent children and the anguish and torture of the families makes no sense to me, please help us to know how to respond to such terrible evil. Lord, please help us to remember that fear of being a child, how the fear of a child is so different than an adult and to treat our children with special love and protection.
Lord, please help us to remember each other and those who cannot protect themselves.
To all the women an these boards who would provide children with loving and stable homes, please bless them with children and complete thier joy.
Please, Lord, help us with our weight and health issues.
