Prayers, prayers and more prayers needed, will you please come and pray with me?

Good evening and Happy Halloween! I pray that you are having a great evening that lots of goblins and ghouls are ringing your doorbells and there are lots of happy kids around! Yea JR on DWTS, gotta give him kudos...gosh I love his spirit so much!
     This evening I ask that you pray with me for a family dear to my heart, this man has struggled with cancer for a while and has help fast to his faith, he has battled and battled when there seem to be no battle left, God is calling him now and soon he will take his journey home, I ask God to allow all of those who are eagerly waiting for him to stand vigil by his side so that he has no fear, I ask God to allow him a glimpse beyond the veil so that he can see the beauty of his destination, I ask God to allow him to be free from all pain so that his last of times here on earth can be spent in the gentle presence of those who are filled with so much sadness at the thought of him being gone, God fill them with the knowledge that this is not goodbye, only until we meet again, fill them with the knowledge that he will eagerly await them when they are called home and that one day they all will be together in paradise where there is no pain nor suffering, they will all walk the golden path together, hear the joyous choir of angels and live together forever! Bless this family with peace in their minds that your will is being done and another angel will soon wear those beautiful wings, bless them with calm in their bodies that he will not longer suffer nor battle, and bless them with comfort in their hearts that through your great love and sacrifice that he will be in heaven! In the loving name of Jesus Christ I ask these mercies and graces, amen.  I also ask for you to pray with me for all suffering illness, depression, addiction, financial issues and grief, father hold us all in your loving arms and allow us relief and peace. Please pray for my baby having a baby that she and the baby will continue to be healthy and strong! God bless my friend who will soon join into a new stage in her life, the wonderful glorious stage of matrimony, she has been so steadfast in her faith and has waited for you to send to her a mate worthy of her love and her spirit, bless the two of them with a life filled with happiness and joy and in the knowledge that this is her blessing from you for being such a wonderful faith filled daughter of yours. Father be with all of those who are without electricity this night due to the storms back east, keep them warm and filled with faith that you will bring them through this storm, keep our military safe father and bless our country with what is needed to get us back on track.  Please keep blessings my friends who are going through rehab, allow them strength father and allow improvement each week, restore their bodies to 100%. In the name of Christ I ask these blessings for each of us, amen.

If I can touch the heart of just 1 person each day, I know my father in heaven will be much pleased!

      Good evening, greetings and salutations:) what a pretty day it has been, a bit warmer here in Utah today but will not tell as it will only make my Texas friends feel I am boasting! I had such a wonderful story that posted on my morning post, it made me feel humbled beyond belief, I sometimes feel as if i write on this blog and it is not received, that facebook is really the only place that people see it and even then the link here is rarely clicked! Today, that theory came to an end, I asked God when I started my blog to let it touch the heart of one seeking inspiration per day, today is proof positive that my prayers are answered! What a blessing to have confirmation at the very point of feeling like throwing in the towel! :) Thank you my merciful Father in Heaven for letting me know this blog is easing the pain a bit!

     I would ask that if you do come to my blog this evening that you will pray with me, that you will lift those in such need in prayer, that you will ask for mercy to the ones needing to be found, the one suffering depression, the ones feeling as if there is nothing for them here on earth...I ask that you raise your hands to the Lord and pray for those suffering illness, both short term and terminal, I ask our father to touch them with his healing hands, to hold them and allow them to feel the comfort that can only come from a fathers arms, I ask that if it be your will that you take the very disease from their body that is killing them and restore them to health, allow them the miracle that they might share it will others.  I ask that you pray for our men and women in the military that tonight they might feel the love and compassion that each of us feel for them for delaying their lives in order for us to have freedom, that you pray for our government that it might be brought back into allignment ensuring that we have an easier time just living day to day! I ask that you pray for your family and friends, that you pray for yourself and ask God to bless you with all of your needs. God is amazing and I know how very strong the power of prayer is...I have witnessed miracles and know that they could only have been from God's grace. Love to each of you , may your dreams be filled with green pastures, beautiful flowers, smooth breezes and peace!

A time to pray! "mass prayer produces miracles" Join me if you will!!

Happy Sunday evening, today has been a lovely day the weather has been perfect, 85 degrees and steady breeze, and sunshiny skies:) I love Sunday's, love, love, love them. Today I have been in thought very much of my Megan, she is the absolute love of my life, when she moved out of state I thought I would not now how to breath, but it was detrimental in her life to make the move and the "cutting of the cord" has been wonderful for her. She is in a relationship with a dear, dear young man, one who I know is her forever partner, one who I know will take very good care of her, is willing to work side by side with her and is fair and honest. I have only been with him a few times but love so much the person that he is...kudos to his parents, I know he is very pleasing to them. I will get to visit with my daughter in the next few days and I will be so very excited to just be breathing the air that she is breathing:) The song I am posting tonight is how I felt the day I gave birth to her and is the way I feel today, I hope you will listen to the words and relive the beautiful unconditional love you felt when yours was born:)
Tonight I have a special prayer to add to the circle, a good friend to many is in fear for her mother, she is suffering some problems with her heart and is in the hospital awaiting a scan tomorrow, please pray for this lady that she is able to rest comfortably and that she will be able to reserve her calm while waiting for the test to be done, please ask with me for our Father in Heaven to touch her heart, to hold it in his healing hands and make it a simple fix. I also ask that you get "on bended knees" with me and ask special mercies on all that are suffering loss, emotional, physical, and spiritual woes, those who are lost and feel that God has taken a step back from them, those who are healing from surgery's, those struggling with finances, those who are unemployed, those who are still rebuilding from the storms, those in the floods in Minot, North Dakota, those who are in the military fighting for our freedom, for our ministers, for our government and lastly for ourselves, Pray for relief, pray for comfort, pray for peace, pray for calm, and pray for strength to help us get through the hard times. Tonight may you be blessed with a wonderful peaceful sleep, may God be a shield for bad dreams, may he be a soft pillow for you to lay your head on and a wonderfully warm blanket that you cover with! God bless you so much, thank you for coming and lifting prayers with me, thank you for being my friend and know that you are loved!!!!

If I have wounded any soul today,
If I have caused one foot to go astray,
If I have walked in my own willful way,
Dear Lord, forgive!

If I have uttered idle words or vain,
If I have turned aside from want or pain,
Lest I myself shall suffer through the strain,
Dear Lord, forgive!

If I have been perverse or hard, or cold,
If I have longed for shelter in Thy fold,
When Thou hast given me some fort to hold,
Dear Lord, forgive!

Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee;
Forgive the secret sins I do not see;
O guide me, love me and my keeper be,
Dear Lord, Amen.

Quiet reflections!!!!

As I sat here tonight, I was filled with a longing for time alone, I felt like I needed solitude and serenity. I needed to shut myself off and listen to the still quiet voice of our father in heaven. I took the time I felt I needed, closed myself off from noise, and meditated, at first I felt disturbed because I could not get my mind to shut down, it seemed there was an urgency that I just could not get a hold on. I finally realized that God was really needing me to hear him and satan was really not wanting me to. I am at this time very, very thankful that I did take the time, because I really was in need of hearing what he needed me to hear! Praise the Lord that I was able to feel the promptings of God and was able to realize that satan was willing to do anything to distract me. That being said, I am feeling very peaceful tonight, I feel like I have a renewed sense of faith and that my soul is where it need be. It was a very touching time, I found myself in tears and I felt validated with this blog, when so many were requesting that I do something like this I became filled with fear, why would anyone want to read anything I had to write, why would anyone care? I talked it over with my sweet daughter and she was very encouraging so I decided to give it a whirl. I am so thankful for the following that are with me, I feel so humbled by the out pouring of love and the unbelievable support. I have hits from many countries of the world, I have many people that are subscribers to my emails that I have no idea who they are! It is exciting, it is overwhelming and to be honest it is scary. I keep waiting to be chastised or thought boring, I keep waiting for the flow of traffic to slow down but each day it increases by at least 20. I made a statement to my love when I started, if I am able to touch the heart of one person, if something I write brings just one person a little closer to our father in heaven then I am content and I know that God will be pleased. If ever any of you feel the need to comment whether it be positive or negative I welcome you! So I take this time to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for giving me this opportunity!
Tonight I would like to ask special prayer for two people, one that I have come to love and cherish as a very, very, dear friend here on facebook, one who, through the love of Christ helped me when I was feeling lost and alone,  he is having some health problems and I would ask that you pray with me that with God's loving hands and the medicine the doctor's are giving him that he be healed and restored back to 100% health. Another prayer I beg you to join me in is very saddening to me, a young man in our military who served his tour in Afghanistan, he is now in Germany and is struggling with all that he saw while on the front line, he is facing so many visions of death and pain, he is being haunted by his being spared when his comrades perished. Please, please, please join me in lifting him in prayer, please pray fervently that God will literally cleanse this young man's mind and his feelings, let him know his value, let him understand that he has done what he was called to do and let him feel all of our love and our support. This war has hurt so many not only physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, lets continue to pray for each of our soldiers. Please continue to pray for those suffering illness, for those battling cancer, for those suffering loss, for those going through the hurdles of life and feeling like they are losing. Please keep me and mine in your prayers as I will do the same for each of you. May God's mercy, love, comfort, calm, and peace be in your every breath. amen!
