week of 4/4/10


My plans, worry, concern, faith. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now I’m found, was blind but now grant the strength to open my eyes, release my plans, let go of my worries, and see life through your grace:

Thank you more than you know – just pray for me unknown

God my passion, my life is so beat down. Help me. I can only be who you’re calling to be with you. Prayers for ---- as he heals. Prayers for his mother and prayers for ----. Thanks for life.

God, help the positives to start being easier to believe and trust than the negatives. I can be more.

I can’t think lately. I don’t know why. I feel like a dull tired mind that has no desire to try harder. But I’m warm and fed and comfortable and blessed. My mind is just tired in a way that sleep and rest can’t seem to fix God, help please.

Lord you are amazing! So much joy. So much freedom. You are real and loving and giving and saving. I believe in your promises for me. But Lord, I pray that I love, and all those loved by others will one day know you and be in loving relationships w/ you. And I will live w/ you and them forever. Thanks be to God.

A prayer for those in the family of BSM in self-imposed exile. May they know the easter claim is that they are loved in this place. Keep them safe, help them to know they are loved by God and the people of BSM.

Pray for my roommates for although the profess a love for Christ they act as though they have never heard his name. Convict them to really live for Christ in Christ.

Lord, as I move forward in my studies toward (with your help) my phD please don’t let me forget the people I’m working for. I see academics drifting away from the people and if I’m going to get my doctorate in social welfare, I don’t want to forget the people I’m working for.

I don’t even know… PRAISE GOD! Hope in the unexpected.
Hope, joy, love, health, finance, family, spirituality. In Jesus name. Amen.

Happy Easter!

Dear Lord. Thank you for showing me a ray of light and I pray that you show me many more. Please continue to give me strength and guidance to develop my relationship and let us grow strong together. In these words I ask of you – amen and thank you.

For the ways in which I refuse to feel the love of God when I beat myself up; from self-esteem issues, addiction, family of origin horsesh--t and generally not remembering that I am God’s beloved. To feel loved once I leave this place.

I pray for a successful SSI application for all those reading it in April and Easter miracles to the needy.

For ---- cancer again for the fifth time. This time only small spots on the roof of her mouth. Pray that the targeted radiation therapy works.

I must trust you more, God I must learn to wait for you, and look out for myself. See I never do it enough.

Prayers for family, friends, health, money.

I need you to push me in the direction of what I need to do.

Thankful for a beautiful day Friday. Longing for strength to stay well this week.

Please pray for: safety and security, direction and guidance, freedom, strong, deep relationships, my brother who is mentally ill. Fine now, but you never know when there might be a scare, my husband’s court case to be resolved soon.

Praise God, Amen!

For all yet-to-believers or sometimes-believers. A light bright.
Lord – I feel alone. I have great friends but still I feel alone. Great family, but still lonely. You, but still lonely. How do I get out of this feeling. Help Lord.

Lord revive me in your Holy Spirit. Keep the sorrows brief; keep the joy sustained. Provide for those on my heart who are ill ---- and those still recovering ----, ----, ----, and teach me anew everyday.

Help me forgive. Help me be happy. Give my friends and family a better world. Help ---- get a job in Atlanta.

Lord God,
Hear the prayers of your children and hold each of these in the palm of your hand. We believe that you hear us and are walking with us as we experience struggles as well as joys. May these prayers be a light to those seeking your presence with them. In your strong name we pray.
Amen.
