Happy New Year 2011!
I hope everyone has had a wonderful year! It's been what, 49 hours already? :-)
"Prayer wonderfully clears the vision; steadies the nerves; defines duty; stiffens the purpose; sweetens and strengthens the spirit." S.D. Gordon
Several Requests and Several Praises!!!
Let's say one together to start out the New Year. You know, I always feel awkward writing out prayers for others to read, and worse when I try to pray over someone else's words. But, since this is a written/read medium, it's the best we can do! So, I'll type as I pray, then you pray your own words as you read. :-)
Keep new requests coming in! I love the ladies who always reply with a blessing for me. I love you ladies who don't too....here we go.
Dear Father In Heaven,
We thank You for this all new, fresh year. It's just the flip of a calendar page to us, but to You, it is all part of the big plan. We ask Lord God, that You would bless our families in this coming year. Keep us safe, healthy, and focused on doing Your will. Life is soooo very busy. Let us not lose sight of Your Truth. I pray that Your Holy Spirit will guide me as I lay down these words, cut and paste these requests, gather these ladies together to Praise You and ask for Your Hand to be on these Requests. Let us Really Believe that what Believe is REALLY REAL. A funny sounding phrase, but a very profound thought. Not my words Lord, but from my heart. Forgive us our sins, forgive us for not living up to Your perfect standards, but allow us to accept your forgiveness by believing in Your Son Jesus. Thank You for all You do and for all You are. In Jesus Name we Pray, Amen
Request #2: (1/2/10) Jessica- I just left the funeral home and I have never been to something so terrible. Seeing baby Will covered up with his Sponge Bob blanket looking so peaceful. When I left, Libby and Billy were laying on the casket. I felt helpless...what can you say to them after such a tragedy? I hugged them, held them tight and cried with them. I cannot begin to imagine their pain. (Will is age 3, he died of cardiac arrest on 12/29)
Request #3: (12/29/10) Jessica- I am up to THREE lives lost in 24 hours. A friend lost her 3 year old son, Will, tonight to cardiac arrest. Then, Beau lost his battle with cancer last night. And, then there's Sally. I am heartbroken.
Update: Janie's hip replacement surgery went so well, that she went home late this afternoon. Please continue to pray for her speedy recovery w/o complications.(12/31/10)
Original Request: Please pray for Janie who is having a left total hip replacement today (12/29/10) at BHE@noon. Pray the Holy Spirit will comfort and give her peace during this time. Pray for a successful surgery and recovery w/o complications.
Request #4: Denise- is praying for a dear friend who has a rough day tomorrow (Monday, 1/3/11)! Please pray with me!! Thanks!!
Request #5: Shannon- The newly elected Mayor of our 5th Class City, Woodlawn Park (here in Louisville) has had a major stroke, 3 days after he was officially in office! He is very young too. Early 40s.
Praise #1: Samaritan's Purse International Relief Last week we were desperate for medical volunteers to serve in Haiti during Christmas & New Year's. This morning we learned that all needs have been met. We praise the Lord for his provision and thank you for your prayers!
Praise #2: Stephanie- Received the sacrament of BAPTISM today :) It feels wonderful to show my obedience to my Savior and participate in something He himself did as well. To know He loves me just the way I am is such a miracle. Praise Jesus!
Praise #3: Abby- I am so proud of my Lilly! She went forward this morning at church and told David she wants to be a Christian. Thank you Jesus!!
