Prayer time, can I add you to the circle?

This day is swiftly coming to an end and I give thanks once again to God for allowing me to be a part of it! Each day I learn new things, many of which are within me, each day I am faced with situations that I have to decide how I will handle them and each evening when I lay my head down to pray I analyze my actions and always find that I am doing better but still have things to learn. In prayer this evening I would ask you to join me again for those specific ones I have asked mercies for this week, I ask that you add the family who lost their loved one due to the stings of bees, he was taken off of life support this morning, his family needs all of us to offer up pleas for comfort and peace, I continue to ask you to pray for the military, and to do this daily until each and every one of our soldiers are home, continue with me if you will to lift the people who were affected by the storms, may they each day get a little bit stronger, regain their faith and always feel the love that has been wrapped around them. Please continue to pray that the truth come for the little girl taken so angrily at the hands of evil. There is so much for us to pray for, so many in need and I know if we continue to fall "on bended knees" miracles will continue to happen in our lives and the lives of others. 
I have been in thought of the sacrifice that our Father in heaven made for us, I think about the love I have for my child, how the mere thought of her hurting, makes my heart wither and feel as if it will stop beating, when he allowed his son to die on the cross I cannot even begin to feel his pain, how did he ever stop weeping, how could he be so giving, how could he love us so much that he would be willing to give his son in our names? When people say things like "God is mad at me" God has given up on me" or take his name in vane I am astonished, I am overwhelmed that the gift of his son is so easily forgotten.  Tonight I am going to end my day with thoughts of the sacrifice, and sleep peacefully with the knowledge that I am loved, and that I am worthy. May you have that same kind of sleep, may you dream of beautiful times in your life, may his robes be your blanket and his chest be your pillow, cozy up in him and allow him to heal any ills that you may have! God bless each of you  in Jesus' name, amen.

I've been wanting to get to this page for some time, but due to circumstances beyond my control it hasn't been possible. I would like to add my brother and father to the prayer list. Both are critically ill with not much hope for either. I pray for them daily but nothing seems to change.

Thank you so much for allowing me the honor of praying with /for you, I am so sorry to hear of the illnesses of your father and brother, I will certainly add them to our circle of prayer and you can rest in the knowledge that many prayers will be lifted for them. I will ask our merciful Father in heaven to lay his loving hands upon both your brother and your father, and if it be his will to heal them by miracle, if they have "made it" in all that they were supposed to do here on earth, I will pray that God hold the both of them in his loving arms, allowing them comfort from the illness they possess, that he will give them peace in their hearts as they begin to make ready for their journey, that he will allow those who have gone before to be in reunion, to be waiting for them and walking with them so that they are not frightened or feel alone. God is merciful, he allows us to come here to earth and learn, one of the highest honors we receive is when we get our return ticket, it makes it no easier for us who get left behind but he does promise if we are obedient, if we cling tight to our faith and if we set our eyes on the skies, we too will take that walk, we will earn our wings, stroll the golden path and forever stand at the side of God. I ask God to hold you close to him, allow your fear, your anger and your sorrow to be taken by him, use his robes as your comforter from the cold, lay your head upon his chest as your pillow and rest, in his arms. Love in Christ to you, may he bless you with his comfort, his calm and his peace! God bless you!
