Prayer Group - Let Us Pray Together

IntoTheCrimsonSky · #1 27th September 2007, 02:11 AM

This thread is designed as a place of prayer.

Please feel free to ask for any prayers that you may be needing right now, or post any prayers that you would like to share with others.

May this thread draw us closer together, as we draw near to the Lord!

To start it off:

Dear Heavenly Father,

I thank you for giving us the opportunity to gather here, in Your Name. May You bless us and abide within us, that we may glorify Your wonderful Name.

Forgive us for times when we stumble, Father, and help us to better reflect Your character with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

You are the One, Almighty God.

In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.

Sky--can we also use this thread as a praise report place?

If so, I want to give the highest praise to God for His answering our prayers in our community today where I live. Our county is trying to pass a terrible 'Nuisance Ordinance" that is pure communistic. Many of us got together and fought with prayer, petitions and meetings and phone calls and today forced the quorum court to back down from a YES vote!

So again, THANK YOU LORD FOR HEARING OUR PLEA'S FOR FREEDOM!

Of course it can.

Anything addressed to the Lord is fine here!

Praise God! It is amazing how He can help with anything, if we proceed in faith!

Dear Father,

I ask that you please be with Ice at this time, LORD. Comfort him and abide with him as You guide him in the choices he faces right now.

Let only Your will be done, Father. Lift him up in Your wonderful Spirit.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

One day a while back, a man, his heart heavy with grief, was walking in the woods. As he thought about his life this day, he knew many things were not right. He thought about those who had lied about him back when he had a job.

His thoughts turned to those who had stolen his things and cheated him. He remembered family that had passed on. His mind turned to the illness he had that no one could cure. His very soul was filled with anger, resentment and frustration.

Standing there this day, searching for answers he could not find, knowing all else had failed him, he knelt at the base of an old oak tree to seek the one he knew would always be there And with tears in his eyes, he prayed:

Lord-You have done wonderful things for me in this life. You have told me to do many things for you, and I happily obeyed. Today, you have told me to forgive. I am sad, Lord, because I cannot. I don't know how. It is not fair Lord. I didn't deserve these wrongs that were done against me and I shouldn't have to forgive. As perfect as your way is Lord, this one thing I cannot do, for I don't know how to forgive. My anger is so deep Lord, I fear I may not hear you, but I pray that you teach me to do this one thing I cannot do - Teach me To Forgive."

As he knelt there in the quiet shade of that old oak tree, he felt something fall onto his shoulder. He opened his eyes. Out of the corner of one eye, he saw something red on his shirt. He could not turn to see what it was because where the oak tree had been was a large square piece of wood in the ground. He raised his head and saw two feet held to the wood with a large spike through them He raised his head more, and tears came to his eyes as he saw Jesus hanging on a cross. He saw spikes in His hands, a gash in His side, a torn and battered body, deep thorns sunk into His head. Finally he saw the suffering and pain on His precious face. As their eyes met, the man's tears turned to sobbing, and Jesus began to speak.

Have you ever told a lie?" He asked?

The man answered - "yes, Lord"

Have you ever been given too much change and kept it?"

The man answered - " yes. Lord." And the man sobbed more and more.

Have you ever taken something from work that wasn't yours?" Jesus asked?

And the man answered - "yes, Lord."

Have you ever sworn, using my Father's name in vain? "

The man, crying now, answered - "yes, Lord."

As Jesus asked many more times, "Have you ever"? The man's crying became uncontrollable, for he could only answer - "yes, Lord."

Then Jesus turned His head from one side to the other, and the man felt something fall on his other shoulder. He looked and saw that it was the blood of Jesus. When he looked back up, his eyes met those of Jesus, and there was a look of love the man had never seen or known before.

Jesus said, "I didn't deserve this either, but I forgive you."

It may be hard to see how you're going to get through something, but when you look back in life, you realize how true this statement is.

Read the following first line slowly and let it sink in.

If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.
When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you! If you are one of the 7% who will stand up for him, send this to someone else with the Title 7%.

93% of people won't send this to anyone else.

Just found a testicular lump

I don't know what it is, but I am in need of your prayers.

IntoTheCrimsonSky · #7 29th September 2007, 08:17 PM

I'll be praying for you Woob.

I hope it's nothing serious.

honorthesabbath · #8 1st October 2007, 10:09 AM

Heavenly Father, we come before your throne of glory and mercy to ask that whatever the lump Woob found is harmless. We also ask that you help Ice find his way. We know that satan is going around devouring precious souls thru deception and we ask for Your power to overcome.

And that our prayer not be hindered, we confess our sinfulness and ask forgiveness for our sins. Thank you Father, because YOU are the faithful One--we are not. I praise and glorify you Lord because we can depend upon You to honor Your word and promises to us.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Lord for hearing us and answering.
In the precious name of Jesus our Savior we ask this, amen.

I would also like to ask prayer for something that is extremely important to not only our family, but literally, hundreds of families that is coming up soon. It is a legal matter and the issue will be judged in the next few weeks.

Please, please pray that we are successful in this case. Thank you friends. If we win this case--even this forum will be blessed. I wish I could reveal the details, but right now I cannot.
