Praying Together on Monday - 2/11/2013

Abba, today I thank you for the life you given and allow me to have. You have blessed me to enjoy the presence of You own Holy Spirit every day of this life. You’ve walked not only with me, but up and down in my daily life. You have been the one constant I can depend upon, THANK YOU!

i pray today, for those bereaved families and friends who have lost loved ones recently, especially those who passed into your presence so suddenly and unexpectedly. Bless those among us, who have had to stand by the bedside of a loved one, who lingered on the verge of death itself. Even here your Spirit was present, THANK YOU! Grant us courage to trust you when we don’t understand why and why now? We have questioned your wisdom and even your sovereignty, but we know you love us, even as we struggle to understand your why. Even here we thank you!

Bless us as we begin a new week, with it’s challenges, struggles, pain and frustrations. Thank you for blessing us with a few friends, brothers and sisters who care enough to listen, and when they aren't near to share our burden or struggle, I know they are interceding for me without knowing what I (we) face.

We thank you for a good outcome to our labors and the work we do that very few see or understand. Thank you for a cheerful heart, a song not only in the night, but during our daytime as well. come Holy Spirit, do your best work in me and the ministry and life I’m called to live.

Thank you for family, even as we struggle to be ‘a family.’ Thank you for that one who loves me not only for what i do, but for who I am. Thank you for those who cause me pain and tears, and moments of question. Thank you for being so near. Thank you for help and hope as I wonder what’s next? Thank you for being the joy of my salvation, the lifter of my head, my strong tower and the peace that passes all understanding, today, throughout this week and for the rest of my life!

I love you Jesus! In your own Name i pray, AMEN!!!

Praying Together On Monday - February 4, 2013

 "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." 1 Peter 5:7 (KJV)

Abba, today I thank you for this reminder, this Word to me, that you care for me. Not only because of what I do, but because You care for me. THANK YOU!!! How simple this is, but sadly I've come to believe you were interested only in what I do or have done, Your Word to me today reminds me of the value You place upon me as a person, one of your 'dear ones.' I bless you for being called into your service and place where I serve, no matter the value others place upon me and what I'm called to do, you blessed me to be, for your greater purpose and glory, THANK YOU!

Thank you for this version on this Scripture, you "careth . . ." which implies, You continue to care. You don't stop caring for me because "I do;" You care because I am. There person I am, the purpose I serve, and the pleasure it gives you to be my God, and being in my life. 

Thank you for your ongoing concern for me and mine, if my family, THANK YOU! I my community, THANK YOU! If for no one but myself, thinking I am alone, (single), You are present, and working within and around me, for your own glory and purpose, THANK YOU!

May I find peace simply walking with you, and joy in service of yourself. Thank you for healing the wound of my past and those who like me have be wounded along the journey, you've seen our wounds, and you've poured in 'the oil and wine,' of healing, even when I don't think it 'feels' that way. You care for me. Me, the person you created me to be, the me, you continue to work on and out of for a purpose and glory I may not live to see the end of. 

THANK YOU for your care, your love and grace, which continues to work in, on and through me. Thank you for just being present, I love you! In Jesus Name I pray, AMEN!!!
