Miracle Of The Human Spirit - LiveWire

Call to prayer, please, please, please join me tonight!!!

 

 Good evening, my post this eve will be very short as I had to have a molar extracted today and what should have been a simple extraction turned in to a surgical procedure which has left me in much pain! Even pain meds seem to not be touching the pain I am experiencing! If you would not mind please add me in your prayers for the pain to diminish and for the trob to become a dull ache!
     Today I was feeling as if my posts were falling on deaf ears, I was feeling like I was not touching anyone with the words that God places in my heart, I was feeling as if I was not hearing what God was saying in the way he was saying it as I felt that I was not putting in to words what he was needing others to read! I prayed to him this morning to give me a sign that I was doing well, that I was being obedient and following his word, that I was not understanding his lead! I received a post from a very special Brother in Christ letting me know that he enjoyed my inspiration and that it helped him throughout the day! Prayers were answered for me, I now know that I am doing what I am supposed to do, that I am touching someone who is in need of the very words I am writing...God is AMAZING!!!!
     Please join me this evening in lifting prayers for those who are suffering, struggling and feeling lost and alone, please say a special prayer for Brenda and her family as they say a final farewell to their mother, please continue to pray for my sweet friend who has infection threatening the very ability to keep her legs, for my friend whose nephew is suffering the ravages of the war, may his mental and spiritual health be restored, for those hurting from mother natures wrath whether it be fire, tornado, flooding...please I call upon each of you to get "on bended knees" along side our circle and pray with us this night! God bless you all and know that you are loved so very much:) Two prayer requests just coming in, one who is suffering the loss of a loved ones uncle, life became to hard for him and he has taken his own life, father you know his heart, you know his suffering and his pain, please pray for understanding for my friend her love and all who are suffering this loss. Also a very sweet sister in Christ is in the hospital and will undergo one surgery tomorrow and another in a few days, please ask our Mighty Healer to guide the hands of the surgeons so that their skill is supreme and ask for a speedy recovery, and full healing and for her to back to 100% soon! Thank you all for supporting me and for giving me the honor to pray for and with each of you! I love you all!


Prayer for Peace
O God, who art the author of peace and lover of concord, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedom; Defend us Thy humble servants in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in Thy defence, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord.

O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed; Give unto Thy servants that peace which the world cannot give; that our hearts may be set to obey Thy commandments, and also that by Thee, we, being defended from the fear of our enemies, may pass our time in rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.

Please join me in prayer!

Heavenly father, I bow my head at this time, in hearing the news today, in seeing all of the disdain in the world, in seeing the fires burning out of control in Arizona, the flooding in so many states, the disorder left from the tornados, I ask you to spread yourself over our great nation and shield us, to spread your mighty arms and wrap us in your love, I ask that you lift those who have lost so much with your love filled hands and give them a peace and comfort that they believe is lost forever. Father, you're close to people whose hearts are breaking, those who are discouraged and have given up hope, see their troubles and grief  when they cry out. When they're hurting, help them find their joy in You, allow your job to be their strength. Help them to trust You as their God of hope. Fill them with Your joy, peace, and hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. God, continue to be the strength in our men and women who are serving this country in the armed forces, and as I ask each day, bring the war to an end so that they can come home and reunite with their loved ones. Please continue to bless my family and all of my friends with renewed faith and abundant love. I ask these special favors in the name of our savior, Jesus Christ. Amen


As always, we are here to pray specific prayer for you, if you leave a comment we will add you to our daily prayer list and lift your desires many times throughout the day. God bless your hearts with peace and comfort! Love in Christ to you!!!

Counting Blessings!!!!

 Happy Sunday, we are having another cold, rainy day.. 44 degrees and the rain has not stopped in more than 18 hours, I am beginning to think an arc is not a bad idea:) Still, I am so thankful for the warmer sunny days we have had this month, they have given me something to hold to on days like today when there is no sun to be seen.
    In prayer this morning, I sat and allowed my mind to totally relax so that I might hear the still quiet voice of our Father in heaven, I blocked out all noise and I waited for his direction, for the feeling of the Holy Spirit to wash over me, I began thinking of those that have had their worlds ripped from their hands, for those who, right this very moment, were faced with the truths that life as they have known it is no more, for those who are still waiting to hear that the names on the "unaccounted" list are safe, for those who lost children, spouses, parents, friends...how a mere few minutes of devastation has changed all that they knew as normal. And I wondered...are there blessings to be felt in these peoples lives, can they stand and say...."I am so blessed", can they look at the people who stand with nothing left and say, "count your blessings!" Can they???? I have had so much sadness in my lifetime, but still when I look back upon those times, I can honestly see how very blessed I was. When I heard recounts of the horrific day of September 11, 2001, I have heard people talk about the blessings that took place that day, HOW??? When I have talked to people who have been survivors of car accidents, house fires, plane crashes, earthquakes, hurricanes, and they say...."we are truly blessed" I ask HOW???? This morning I asked God to be with each of the survivors, to be with each of the ones who have no homes to go to, to be with each of those who are sitting in open mouthed wonder asking how will I put one foot in front of the other and move forward, how will we rebuild, how will we replace, how will we say goodbye to our lost ones, how...how...how???  I ask each of you today to look back at times in your life when something horrible took place, to really go back and look at the outcome, to see what the blessing in each incident was...I am sure you have said to yourself and to others this last few day..."If I had been here, this would have happened" " If so and so would have left when they were going to ,  this would have happened" "We are so lucky that bla, bla, bla..." I do not think that "luck" was the catalyst here, I know that you received blessings! Today it may not feel as if you have, when you stand at that memorial service, when you feel the great sadness wash over you in hearing the stories, when you say goodbye to those who have gone much to early in your eyes...but soon, you will begin to realize that there were so many blessings that took place in your lives that day, that you can and will stand up and move forward with a stronger sense of God being with you, that you will tilt your head toward the heavens and know that he is with you in all things. Today as you stand at that service, weep with and open heart, let the sadness inside of your being be released, let all of the bad go and welcome the dawn of a new day with determination and a stronger faith than you have ever had. Count those blessings...each and every one of them, for a miracle has taken place, God has manifested his love in each of you. There are no answers to your question as to why certain ones were taken on the heavenly journey, the only answer I can see is that God had a greater need for them with him than we had for them here. They passed the test of time and were lifted on angels wings, serenaded by the great celestial orchestra, and placed safely inside the gates to walk the golden road with our Savior, Jesus Christ and our creator, our Father in Heaven. They are gone form you physically but another of the great blessings that we are given each day for all of our lives is "memory" You have them with you in every breath you take, the memory of them is inside you , in things that you see, in smells, in sounds....they are all around! God's blessings are so abundant that we only experience a small bite, we cannot even being to imagine how many times on a daily basis that his breath saves us. I ask that each of you bow your heads with me, and thank him for his mercy, his grace, his protection and his love... thank him for the blessings in  your life, the good and the not so good, thank him for the seen blessings and for all of the unseen blessings. I pray that as you go through this day that you are filled with warmth and knowledge that through him all things are possible, that the rebuild has to begin within you and that with faith you will achieve your goals. My love to each of you in the name of our Savior..Jesus Christ.
