week of 2/13/11



God, we so often feel small and unable to make changes that are significant or lasting; our prayers feel both minuscule in the light of who You are and Your universe, and an all-consuming sorrow or desire that keeps our attention inward-focused. God, hear these prayers of Your people, and show us the ways in which You are already moving and working in our lives. Re-orient us as we lift these prayers to You:

ALMIGHTY GOD,
We ask that you bring all hearts that were separated back together. Re-unite all broken family members who are trying to re-connect. In Jesus NAME
Amen

Please pray that my new phone will be turned on this week. I'm in a real big need to have it on to keep in touch with my family here at B.S.M. and any-one who a true Christian. God you helped me move to a much safer section in Phila. So father God please help me get my phone on.
Thank God for keeping me on your mind

Jesus, I am holding onto this hurt so much...I desperately want to let go of it & hold onto it all at the same time. Pry my fingers open...help me believe that I will be loved even when I let it go.
Thank you for loving me even when my rationality flies out the window & my heart just hurts. I am tired of hurting and yet peacefulness still feels unfamiliar most of the time. Please help me, Jesus.

I pray that I will keep hope this week...that I will stay in the knowledge and confidence that I am worth something in Christ.

I pray for peace and calm in my mind & heart. I pray that the negative ideas & feelings that invade my consciousness might be quieted & replaced w/awareness of the blessings & love that exist in my life.

for a way back to a friend...

Prayer that my unborn baby is growing healthy and for my husband to find this gift of life a blessing and something we can handle, thru God’s love and grace.

I pray for ---------- ----------- that he will be calmed--feel supported & get down what he needs to!

for those who go into difficult places and relationships in order to bring light, hope and good news--Lord God pour your blessing on them. Thank You Thank You Thank You for Your grace to me.

Lord, I trust that you have me in this place and time and experience for a reason which I may not fully understand. I trust that if I hang in there with you, you will continue to hang in there with me.

Prayers for feelings of doubt & insecurity. may we all be able to receive God’s forgiveness and grace.

Thank you, God, for the richness of my life, for all the love & care of friends. Help me to trust and to keep my center. Thank you for the recognition of my gifts. I am so grateful for the validation. Amen.

I love you.

For --------- and his coming parole

Oh Father
It is you who know what to make of me. I am foever being fordged into what You intend. I have purpose in You.
pray for a friend who has lost her way and her home. Help her to remember that home is abstract, and it is us, and she will never truly lose that. Hold her up as she must find her way and start anew, and pray she sees beyond this loss and towards what is there to gain.

Thank you for sustaining me and providing. Even if not the way that would have been easier. Please give me patience. give the people in my life patience and understanding as I get it together.

For ----------, ------------, ----------, and -----------.
Oh God, sometimes it’s all to much.
Your kingdom come.

This valentines day I pray for my marriage for us to be better partners & lovers

Jesus, be with us all and breathe Your new life into these situations. We praise You for the ways in which You love us. We thank You for taking a chance on us, for empowering and enabling us to grow and change and love, more and more. Amen.
