  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Our Father, from heaven you must see a lot of burdens laid before you every minute of everyday. We come to you with special intentions for the circumstances we see with our own eyes and hear with our own ears, people with cancer and critical injuries, unborn babies in jeopardy, healings needing for Barbie, Ley and Tony and Barb, some crippling and some life threatening, and even church ministries struggling. The human dilemmas and sufferings are many. For these, we intercede. And for these prayer warriors here Dear Lord, protect and prosper then and their families as they serve to give Honor and Glory to You.

I am adding to this list of requests, my mother-in-law Bertha as her time to come to you is coming closer. I ask you to give her the grace necessary to prepare her for the journey to your safe haven. Guide Tom and I in careing for her needs during this time and do spare her unnecessary suffering.

O Sweet Heart of Jesus, Eternal Truth, Our Bread of Life, we call upon You and beg Your mercy for these intentions and for poor sinners, those who are lost and have no one to pray for them. O Jesus, mindful of Your own bitter Passion for which you showed your compassion for the whole human race, we trust in You.

Praying.:prayer:

Please add my friend, Barbie, to your prayers. Long story, but she had her 3rd surgery on her jaw this week due to complications of having her wisdom teeth removed (her jaw was broken in the process.) Her mouth is wired shut and must remain so for about 8 weeks. The surgery went well, but her head is swollen almost twice it's normal size, (the jaw part anyway) and she is having trouble sleeping. Please pray for success with this surgery (that the bone will fuse this time) and for grace and healing right now. Thanks in advance.


Kaykay, do you know how Barbie is doing?

Kaykay, do you know how Barbie is doing?

Thanks for asking, but we haven't talked to them since Saturday when my husband was over there. We'll probably check in on them if we don't hear a report from them today.

Everyday there is so much to be grateful for but some days we see the miracles of prayer and it never ceases to blow me away and leave me in awe of how amazingly wonderful God is and how He works in our lives.

I am on my knees in gratitude for the working of the Holy Spirit and the prayer support you have given me. I just can't tell you how it has been an added boost of strength and courage for me.

Today I received a phone call from my estranged daughter-in-law Kim who lives here. She is married to my son Mark (also estranged ). I firmly held on to the Holy Spirit with the promises of Blessed are the peacemakers. I have been praying for so long for the Holy Spirit to soften the hearts my family members. It went well although I was shaking more like a scared kitty...I kept remembering that Lion in the mirror...Today was an important beginning for reconcilliation. The Holy Spirit is working in Tom's heart too!!!!!!!!!!

Our God is an awesome God....Praise Him in every prayer. I give Thanks to Him for hearing our prayers and I give thanks to Him for each one of you.

I am still lifting up your needs and intentions in my evening prayer.

If you have any emergency for prayer dont hesitate to contact my PM box here or my personal email posted on CF homepage. I am always available to put your urgent needs on the alter.

Dear Spring, so glad to hear about Mark and Kim. Prayers for the Lord's continuing presence in your lives!:hug:

Had a reconciliation -- or the start of one -- with a friend to whom I'd been very close and she just dropped away a year ago. Saw each other over the weekend and got a note today suggesting we get together. Not sure what happened last year, but grateful for a new day and a continuation of friendship. We have been friends since 1981.

KayKay, so glad to hear Barbie is doing better. Continuing prayers for her recovery.

Good news about your friend Kaykay. Spring I so appreciate you humble spirit and I am encouraged that you are seeing the beginnings of reconciliation. Hi Butter cup and Keeptrying hope you all had a great day. It is again rainly and cloudy here on the coast. the grass loves it the birds don't seem to mind so I guess I don't either. The flowers in our garden (rhododendrons) are spectacular. Well must go and check on dinner. TTFN. Jan

Jan, I do believe you have the ability to endure a little more rain...I could tell when you mentioned those Rhododendrons. They are God's gift to you for all those cloudy, wet days. This seemed to be an unusualy long year of the rain and the cold just a it colder. I praise you for not really minding. When I was busy busy in my life I did not have the time to notice the rain at all...in fact I rather enjoyed it (sounds silly) not really. Introvert that I am, I find the world slows down and quiets down when it rains. I find that peacful.
Thank You God for the special treats that come with the rain, there is no place more beautiful than this place with deeply forested mountains and valleys from sky to sea. Thanks Father especially for the cool cover it offers when other regions suffer with blistering sun and lack of any water at all.

Thank You Father for answered prayers this evening. Our intentions for our friends keep rising up to you on every thought, even while we sleep. This evening I raise up to you these Golden Eagles and their families and friends, as I KNOW that You, "The same God who sustains us in our sleep will sustain us in our difficulties. Your Blessing now Lord upon your faithful servants: Jan, Buttercup, keeptrying. kaykay, Ariel, clairefish, Dave, rebornfree, amadeus and those who read but do not post in this thread.

Amen! I have always loved Psalm 121 as it reminds us of God's watchful care over His Children. Thank you for your watchful prayers for us Spring. We also ask God to Keep you in His perfect will as you enter into this time of ministry to you family.


Revised Standard Version

Psalm 121



Psa 121:1 A Song of Ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From whence does my help come?
Psa 121:2 My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
Psa 121:3 He will not let your foot be moved, he who keeps you will not slumber.
Psa 121:4 Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

Psa 121:5 The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand.

Psa 121:6 The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.

Psa 121:7 The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.
Psa 121:8 The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and for evermore.

Father above,
who, knowest all things, whilst we, can yet hardly speculate
thou, who knowest the content of, our hearts and minds
before, we can even feel, our needs and mouthe those, thoughts
We pray that you uphold, comfort and heal, our brother [Ariel's Pastor]
from his present discomfort, that he, might further serve you
and continue his work [in your name]
This we ask, in the name of your son, our saviour, the Lord, Jesus Christ
amen
