The Mercy Seat- A place of prayer[open]

[Abiel]

Not a place to talk about the whys and whereforesof the Mercy Seat. Rather a place of prayer, where we can support and love each other as we seek the Lord on various matters.

 

[Abiel]

Perhaps this could be a sticky?

Works for me.

Done.

(I'd like to have only 3 (4 at the most) stickies- one of which is the Rules, By the way)

 

[Victrixa]

That is a wonderful idea, Abiel!

 

[Andy Broadley]

Absolutely. A great suggestion.

 

[Abiel]

OK> I'll go first.

Dear Lord, this is totally awesome! Thank so much for this opportunity you have given all of us who love the Army to fellowship together. Thank you Lord for Erwin and all his work, and for our Moderator Bradford. May we never need him in anger. Lord, help us to make this a place that honours you and your mighty and most precious Son, our saviour Jesus Christ, the author and perfector of everything.
And Lord as I get ready to retire, I pray you would be with each one of my friends through the night, even those for whom it is the day, for that's the gift you have given us, the ability to learn and communicate with people all round the world. May the internet be yours Lord Jesus, and may it be powerfully used for your glory, and may all evil be removed from it.

Amen

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a sticky in the context of CF?

Thanks

Thanks

I wanted to ask that as well, but felt a bit foolish.

If I understand correctly a sticky is a thread/topic that is 'stuck' permanently at the top of the page, so as not to get lost amongst the other threads. Only done for threads deemed to be important.

And while I'm here:

Lord I thank you for your wonderful unending love for us all. I pray for those of our church who are currently on mission anywhere in the world, be it on the streets of their hometown, or in the farthest parts of the planet. I pray particularly for my friends currently in India that you will bless them and guide their every step. Help them all to show your unending love to everyone they meet, give them the rest they need and the strength they require to do your will.

I also ask Father God, that you bless all those involved in maintaining this awesome ministry and fellowship tool, the Christian Forums. Thank you Lord for leading them to create a 'place' where we may share thoughts and prayers with one another.

In Jesus' mighty name,
Amen.

 

[Abiel]

Father God, I've been thinking about the tremendous need in the world right now because of the tsunami, and I just wanted to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of care that is happening throughout the world at this time, and I pray that people's hearts will be changed by their experience of giving.

 

[Andy Broadley]

Dear Lord, I know you are working in my life. Help me to listen to what you are saying to me and to act upon it. You know every need of my heart, and I place them all before you. Amen

 

[Abiel]

Lord I want to thank you for the elderly chap who came into today with a big bag of pennies. Bless him Lord. Please bring him closer to you. Make him curious about you Lord Ipray, that he too may find a place in heavne. Amen.

 

[Abiel]

Please make me well Lord, and help me make sense of this meeting I'm doing. Amen

I would just ask that you all be praying for my wife over the next week. She has been given work as a nanny looking after 2 girls while their parents are in sessions at a conference. She only found out upon arrival that she was working at a conference for the church of scientology.

 

[Abiel]

Dear Lord surround and protect your servant in the week ahead, May she be a fab witness to your life and love for the short time she is doing this work. May Angels guard her comings and goings. Amen

 

[Abiel]

A night night blessing

Jesus so dear to us
Jesus be near to us
Jesus give ear to us
Each as we pray.
Jesus whate'er betide
Jesus , be friend and guide
Jesus, be by our side
Now and for aye.

 

[Abiel]

Lord, thank you that we are getting a clear vision at WOodbridge as to the nature of our mission in that place. Thank you for the meeting last night, it's positive, let's go for it atmosphere, the enthusiasm of the elderly. Please open hearts and minds to the approaches that are now going to be made. Bless our work, for your own sake. Make it a soul saving mission, I pray. Amen

 

[Gumdrop71]

Can you folks please pray for me? I am so entirely miserable in my state of mind currently.

 

[elm0]

Dear Father we come before you in prayer for our sister Gumdrop. Lord, you know how she is feeling at the moment, and we ask that you help her at this time. Please lift this state of mind, or show her a way through whatever situation is causing it.
We pray this in the wonderful name of our loving Saviour, Christ Jesus.

 

[Abiel]

Lord, we stand unite before your throne of grace with Gumdrop. Lord, bless her we pray,with such peace of mind and heart that her sufferings melt away in the light of your love. Give her guidance Lord and strength to follow your leading. Restore to her the joy of her salvation, that she may be lifted out of her current frame of mind. Jesus be near to her we pray.
