week of 1/31/10


God the voices and needs of this community are so varied, and so many. Only You can hold them all. And while it's easier for us to think You don't listen than it is for us to believe that You listen to us, care about us, and move in our lives, we trust this truth. We see it in Your Word, and we've seen it in the countless testimonies of Your people. On these legacies we stand, and we pray:

I need prayer for my great grandma ---------- ---------. She's now in the hospital and if it is her time to go I ask the Lord to take her in peace and to give comfort to my relatives. I know she'll go with the Lord. She's a powerful woman of God. Thank you.

I am sick and tired of my roommates harassing, cursing, and threatening me. I live in a women's shelter. I do not appreciate that I cannot sleep when my roommate has bathroom issues.

Don't want to be depressed as much as I used to be and am now. I also want to forget all the pain I've lived through all my life and I hope my friend is found because he went missing a couple days ago.

I can't focus too many friends who have gone down the road not to god it hurts really badly.

I pray for the victims of Haiti and all around the world


I need healing on many fronts. I am starting over in many ways again and I could use prayer through guidance.

Please keep in prayer in regard to St. John chapter. Many disciples desert Jesus.

Peace and patience. Love.

Having just gotten out of jail I'm seeking housing. Thank You.

Thank you for helping me be able to find and see your blessings even when things fall apart and go wrong. Thank you for my family and friends, the biggest blessings and my most valuable treasures.

God, we are heading to CA to seek and find you. May we see you there as much as we have seen you here.

Continued prayers for Haiti -- Lord let us not forget or become numb to this tragedy. Bring healing hope and love to your people.

New term at school. Sobriety.

Bless those who have made a bold move toward faithfulness.

Help my good found thing from being ruined by my mistakes.

Pray for the health and safety of my family in Africa.

Help sorting through life as I know it.

G-d, please get me through this month. I'll need a miracle. Thank you. Me

Pray for Philly public schools. The leadership, teachers, and students.

I need God to grant me discernment as to the next steps I need to take to be in the right place in my life. This is a time of preparation for me and need peace instead of stress.

I pray for my sister's two eldest sons; their father hurt them very badly this week and pray for healing, and that they regain confidence in themselves and love for those who hurt them. I pray that Bill, our preacher, stops feeling so distant from our church and so distant from me. I pray for faith -- that I will understand the ways in which God reveals his presence in my life. I pray I will feel special and loved and guilt free this week.

Lord, Thank you for this earth and its goodness. Thank you for the freedom I have in it. There are so many problems in the world though. It seems insurmountable. How is the hate, the poverty, the history, the violence going to be answered? I don't know how God but I believe in you, of a new earth and a new heaven. Please come.

Can't focus too many friends who have gone down the road not to God it hurts really badly.

Balance, direction, new LIFE! My love, those who make the world bright, and those who darken, that we would all see the light of love.

I pray for all those in need. For all those whose needs are not heard and for those not get prayed for this day.

Ok, what do I do next?

I pray for all of God's people, may they know of His good word and believe in him. May they give thanks for life here on earth and of the afterlife in heaven in the presence of God. Also I pray for my friend Carli Slack who has been in the hospital for 15 months now, her family is one of the most faithful I know and I pray now that their prayers are answered. Amen.

Broad Street Ministries has been a light for me in Philadelphia. I have never felt so welcome, been a part of such a rockin church, a place so real, diverse and passionate. I am so grateful and thankful for this place and all the crazy and loving people. I will miss it. I pray for strength for BSM that it continue in the LORD's path.

Please pray for --------- that her mammogram will be negative and she can keep recovering from the last cancer.

Compassionate and merciful God, let me love my enemies as much as I would my friends. Teach me to see you as you are and that is the savior of ALL peoples. Amen.

Pray for safety on my move home, that the weather be good for travel. Pray the move be a good one for us -- that it is the right choice. Pray that I find work there, that were are able to find an apt quickly. Pray for my husband and I in this time of transition.

For strength and for support during a busy time ahead. For peace in the home. For love -- that I might continue to support and encourage my husband in all the important ways, and that he may do so for me.

Jesus, help me rest, reconnect with you and with myself. Be with him. Strengthen him. Be present with us as we learn to love each other and you better.

For healing, reconciliation and a renewed understanding of what to hope for.

Pray for my grandmother. she is having disabilitating nerve pain in her leg which makes her unable to stand. Pray that God hears my personal prayers and shows me guidance and purpose.

I want to thank you for your prayers in advance beause it seems that my past prayers have been answered. So I pray for more wisdom to make the right choices.

Praise God. He has given me the vision to see into the Old Testament. He gives me patience to absorb scripture into my being. As Christ talked about the kingdom of God inter penetrating the "dough of the bread as yeast," so I am experiencing the word of God like "yeast" in the "dough" of my being. May all persons come to know God through Christ. Amen!

God, thank you for providing for us. Thanks for the opportunity to grow in California. Help us to keep seeking you.

My family be lifted to the light and recognize the daily miracle of life in which they dwell. That our 'leaders' smell the stinch of their own corruption and ignorance. Thanksgiving of citizenship in each a beautiful nation. All the opportunities which lie before me. Thanksgiving for inspiration for St. Jude with the Almighty Creator. Hold me close in the _________ of my choices.

To the family of --------- ---------. Dont stop loving her. Dont give up on her. I didn't. And I never will.

Father, please watch over ----------- at her new job. Thank you for all you give us. Please show where you want me to be.

Jesus, the fact that You never leave us, You never give up on us, that fact can be so hard to grasp at times, and "thank You" just doesn't seem enough to say in response. Stick with us, in the midst of these prayers and prayers unwritten and unspoken. Inhabit our hearts and thoughts, show us how to love You and ourselves and each other better. Thank You for showing Yourself to us through each other.
Amen.
