week of 6/26/11



Lord, hear these prayers from Your people:

Would you please pray for the homeless people on the street. They need a clean place to live and also let God into their lives. They need a good, safe place to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. These things will help them be less independent. Also to help them find a good church.

Just moved into ----’s Place just one week old in my new life, but the only pray I know is the serenity pray and that’s just the first half but I am a Christian born and raised. But I do want to know about the bible better so I can have more wider conversations other than sport and movies.

Dear God,
Thank you for blessing me with 15 days of sobriety- and for helping bring moments of peace, laughter, and clarity during a confusing and unfamiliar time. Thy will be done!

Last Sunday I asked for ideas for titles for my work. I’m in the process of doing window paintings in churchs in Philadelphia. I need ideas for titles for about 8 paintings. I was thinking for them to be named after the names of its location (name of the buildings). I looked in the bible but could not decide on any names. I think I will go with the names of the churches, cathedrals. Thank for your helping if you have. Struggling person.

I need prayer for protection, survival, comfort, and my health. I also need prayer for my sister and her family. Also I need prayer for my housing to happen for me. Also I need prayer for my schooling to pass my math so I will have my GED.

Please pray in thanksgiving for ----’s summer job!! She doesn’t like it BUT is learning to be grateful for the blessing! Hallelujah for prayers that are answered!

Discernment, hope, passion, energy, patience, compassion, Lord all these I lack.

Believe in my creative project, love me through it.

Dear God,
Thank you for what you did for my granddaughter, she can walk, run, just like she was never sick. My son and my granddaughter are my only family, please keep on watching them.
Thank you,
ME

My friend is sad, very sad. She needs You and no longer has home enough to pray anymore. Be with her, especially now.

Please pray for the abandoned child(ren) in the world… and for the abandoned, unacknowledged, under-appreciated child in each and everyone one of us.

OH God, I’m going to ruin everything for everyone! Ahhhhh! This is what my head keeps telling me. Lord, please don’t let it be true. Give me strength and grace to not totally suck at life.

Shower
College
Safety
My Brothers

Pray for all of the youth who are here to serve at BSM and may they learn, grow, and face new experiences with the people of Philadelphia.

Lift up ----- as she stretches and grows this week at the youth initiative. Help her overcome her fears and see the child of God in everyone she meets.

Help me have discipline and patience, and may others have it too.

For those who volunteer.

For those sacrificed without their say in the matter.

Jesus shower Your grace on ----. He needs it tonight more than ever. Transform once again, pick him back up and help us love him well.

BSM- thanks so much for being there for me over that last three years that I have been in Philly. I am moving now, but will not forget you. Please keep doing a great service to the community! Amen.

Please pray for my sisters cat, ----. He is old and dying- her family is sad. I pray for God to be present in my family’s life.

Another good week.

Please thank God for the gift of detachment. Please pray for ----- and ---- and their families as they go off on new adventures. Please pray for -----, -----, -----, -----, all of my family.

The families of shelters I work at. Hope and love for them to receive and to learn to express.

I praise You for the love ----- and ----- have found in each other. Continue to be present in their relationship as they enter this next phase of life together. Thank You for reminders of hope. I want to experience that someday, if it’s in your will. Thank You for Your love that defies all my fears and irrational expectations. Amen.

Amen.
