week of 3/6/11



Lord God, We thank you for knowing us better than we know ourselves. May our treasured hopes and deepest concerns serve as an offering to you:

Pray that I learn to love myself.

Pray for me! Get off the streets. I have HIV. God is with me

I pray for house, food, money, clothes, family, friends, love.

Thank you for letting me sing for you Lord. I hope that a lost soul will soon be singing with me. Please Lord, be with my friend ----- as she is ready to go into labor at any moment. be by her side as the contractions wrack her tiny frame and guide baby and mother safely home. I love you and pray as you taught...

I lift up to you a friend of a friend, whose father recently committed suicide. I ask you to be with that family and with that friend as they all deal with the reality and pain of that loss. I know no words will help them, but I know your presence does a little. Be in their midst and by your presence may they feel loved and accompanied.

Lord, it is so easy for me to forget how much you love me. I was reminded tonight. Thank you for that. Many of my loved ones are experiencing pain and loss - be with them - empower me to be present w/ them when it would be most helpful. I ask you to bring healing to ------, ------, ------, ------, ------, and her daughter ------, my Mom, ------, ------, and so many others I know by sight and not by name. I thank you and praise you for the healing I've witnessed in ------, ------ and ------. Amen.

Oh Father, as I embark on this new chapter I am secure in you, no fear do I carry for you have made the way.

For new friendships w/ people who build me up and are good company for me to keep.

Help me to draw close to, well, anyone. Give me courage and Lord, help me to remember who you cared for and that I need others. Be w/ my friend ------ w/ his eye infection. Be w/ ------ and the struggle of her brother. Be with all those on my heart, -----, Nana and Papa, Aunt ------ and Uncle ------, Mom and Dad.

For my family, remembering them myself and spending more time with them because I know they miss me.

I want to say thanks to God got the healing that had already happened and future healing. I would like to pray for complete and total healing and help to reach my family.

For all my close friends making moves far away. For time leading up to their moves and blessing on their new journeys. Comfort for me and them in the loneliness that with follow their moves.

I pray I can follow God well with opportunities placed in my life.

I have no more needs only wants and the greatest of these is that ------ may grown into a tree, may cover other and I might be willing enough to be nailed to it for their sake. It is then I am whole and grace may grow.

Everything is still going well!!!

Lord God,
Thanks for home - that it is a safe and loving place. Thanks for the ordinary, peaceful weeks and for the potential for them to be extraordinary. May this be a week of praise.

Gracious God, please emancipate me from the despair of this relationship, for this feeling of being trapped. I need blessed assurance to know if this is right or I need to get out. Help me to stand in my truth. If there is some other, please bring him forward. Please keep me safe.

Prayers for the family and friends of ------- ------, a child of God of the covenant who died much too young. Lord for me, teach me the Spirit of generosity, to be able to be joyful and grateful and to give love as your have so grandly give it to me first.

Dear G-D, Please keep an eye out for my family. I'm still waiting for the strength to take care of my own business. Please help me. Thank you. Me.

God of transformation and new creations. We pray to you believing that there is more to this world than what we can see. Help us to find your transfigured beauty in all things. In faith, we call out to you. In faith, we await your response. Amen.
