good morning,
i had to let others know ho GOD works throughprayers of others. you remember thati told you that my son who is in prison is to get out in may. and his girlfriend that is alsoin a prison ministery. i talked to both of them yesterday. he will be here the last week in may to go pick her up. i have prayed that GOD would give them a work to do for HIM.i prayed that HE would see fit to put her in a prison ministery. as we were talking on the phone she brought up the fact that she wanted to be a part of a prison ministery.i was over joyed at what she told me. she did not know that we had been praying for that to happen.
we have a couple atour church that he is 95 and she is in her late 80s.they do a jail ministery and as they age it will be harder for them to do it.if you saw them you would never know their age.
also at the church we have several ladies t hat do a prison ministery for women.
the point is how awesome ould it be for someone that had been where they are to tell them that they have hope.
to have walked in their shoes like some of you in here that had panic and anxiety giving others hope.
just wanted to share that with you..have a good weeknd and be blessed..
don
MY GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD...

Thank you Don, I appreciate your kind words, I do feel God's direction when I pray.
Easter is a hard time for me my Dad died on Easter, I never did like Easter, I don't like looking for anything, never did, not even Easter eggs. It is tough for me when Easter is moved around on the calendar. Personally I have always been drawn to celebrate Passover, I am not a born Jew, but I figure they know better when their celebration is than the Catholic Church. With all that said, I do appreciate you asking me about Easter, as I am realizing it is a stronghold in my life that makes me very sad and this year for nearly a month. because April 15th is still to come. I know my Dad is with Jesus, I was able to help him put his life in the Lords hands just weeks before he died, and I am so grateful to God for that opportunity. still I miss him he truly was the love of my life. I love my husband but not like I loved my dad. I find myself in tears just thinking about how much I lost when he went home with the Lord, no one can fill that void in my life. Thank you for your kind thoughts, and prayers, this time of year hurts..
Barb G. Thank you for your invitation, to join the Wen. night phone call, my phone phobia is in my way in this month. I am having problems even getting to my bible study group, on Wen. it is at 7;pm, and I would be home around 8;20. I am praying about it, and working through this blue time of year. don't get me wrong, I am not wear I used to be, Thank God, but I am not wear I want to be. either.
I am more easily accepting of my moods, I have compassion for me now, and I am able to allow myself to be sad even to cry, I was never allowed to cry as a child, I am the child of a Marine, and I married to one too. I am working to find things that make me smile, and I try to be around people who help me to smile, but some days I just need to cry, and I now know that is OK, my husband is recognizing my needs for him to be more affectionate, and liniment with me, we are talking more now than we have in 38 years,
Writing about these 2 hang-ups, I am working on now, sounds like I haven't come very far, but I have come miles over the past 2 years, I am cleaning my house, doing yard work, baking cokes, for my cookie monster, husband keeping up, even delving in to some of those dreaded rooms, I haven't sorted out for 5 years. Mostly I am relaxed in my skin now, I am glad to be me, and not what others expect of me. I don't even think what some one else might be thinking about me any more. I only care what God is thinking about me, and now I can relax because my God Loves me, just as I am, and He wants me to be just like He made me in the womb, before others started molding me to fit in their world. I am living in peace, and some things just have to wait until God leads me, and equips me to do more things.
Welcome to you musigaljm to our goup, there are 134 of us on my list praying for each other, and checking in here from time to time, to ask for special prayer, or report some victory. I am glad to add you to my list you are so right --"where two or more are gathered", literally--things happen!!! Enter God's Rest, by Joyce Meyer
Trust is not inherited; it is learned! We learn to trust God by going through various experiences that require trust. By seeing His faithfulness over and over, we let go of trusting ourselves, and gradually we enter His rest and place our trust in Him.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the lord and shun evil. this will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. - Proverbs 3;5-8 NIV

DON

Thanks for your input *D*;
Annette sent this to me yesterday for her daily affirmation, and it hit it for me. I realized, I have been looking back, this month, and it has been difficult, my dad died on Easter, and my body has symptoms this time of year, that I can only think is related to my grief of loosing him in my life, I understand my phone phobia better now, and I understand my emotional Farris wheel now. I have the tools to bring myself out of this, but it took a good Christian sister like Annette to remind me how important it is to live in the "perfect precious monument, and not in the past, when we are ill we must call our elders, because we can't always recognize the problem, without their point of view. I am so grateful for the friends, I have made on this sight, even though I don't come on here much any more because I am busy living my life now, and not mopping on the computer any more. I still stay in touch with some of you, and truly appreciate Annette's daily affirmations, this entire program has made a lasting mark on my life, I will always be grateful for.

\\ Don't Look Back!

As you travel through life there are always those times
When decisions just have to be made,
When the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce,
And the rain seems to soak your parade....

There are some situations where all you can do
Is simply let go and move on,
Gather your courage and choose a direction
That carries you toward a new dawn...

So pack up your troubles and take a step forward —
The process of change can be tough,
But think about all the excitement ahead
If YOU can be stalwart enough!

There might be adventures you never imagined
Just waiting around the next bend,
And wishes and dreams just about to come true
In ways you can't yet comprehend!

Perhaps you'll find friendships that spring from new things
As you challenge your status quo,
And learn there are so many options in life,
And so many ways you can grow!

Perhaps you'll go places you never expected
And see things that you've never seen,
Or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds
And wonderful spots in between!

Perhaps you'll find warmth and affection and caring

And somebody special who's there
To help you stay centered and listen with interest
To stories and feelings you share...

Perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing your friends
Are supportive of all that you do,
And believe that whatever decisions you make,
They'll be the right choices for you...

So keep putting one foot in front of the other,
And taking your life day by day ...
There's a brighter tomorrow that's just down the road —
Don't look back! You're not going that way!

Thank you so much for the kind words Cheri and I honestly say I feel the same about you. You have helped me face a very difficult time in my life and I will say without a doubt that through the grace of God and words you and He has sent me, I was able to face this time with complete assurance that Rodney is well with The Lord and savor. Each thing I send is through My Lord Jesus Christ, I couldn't do it other wise. Love you.

There’s Only One You
Thursday, April 17, 2008
From the place of His dwelling He looks on all the inhabitants of the earth; He fashions their hearts individually.
Psalm 33:14-15

You are the only you God made.

He made you and broke the mold…Every single baby is a brand-new idea from the mind of God.

No one can duplicate your life. Scan history for your replica; you won’t find it. God tailor-made you. He “personally formed and made each one” (Isa. 43:7 MSG). No box of “backup yous” sits in God’s workshop. You aren’t one of many bricks in the mason’s pile or one of a dozen bolts in the mechanic’s drawer. You are it! And if you aren’t you, we don’t get you. The world misses out.

You are heaven’s Halley’s Comet; we have one shot at seeing you shine.

Sunday I listened to Joel Olsteen, he reminded me, that "God doesn't do things to us, He does things for us" today, I was stressed because I wanted to leave early but things kept happening to slow me down, and I could not leave early. thus I could not get home early. I had to call the lady that was riding with me and tell her to take her kids to school I could not get there in time to do that. Then I took a long breath, and I got an important call, I would have missed if I had left to soon, and I decided to do one of the things I was going to do, before my friend called last night and asked to go with me, before I didn't need to leave earlyI or leave room in the car for her kids. Something. that will make next week easier. I stopped and prayed," Thank your God, for doing this for me. I would have left to early to see the water coming out from under the refrigerator, now my husband will have that all fixed when I get home. I would of filled next weeks list, with things I can do today, and next week I can not be stressed, I have to be calm, We have invited 50 people to come to out house to help us band our calves, and clebrate our harvest, with a big dinner. I nearly lost my peace, this morning, I nearly let myself be stressed, and compromised what I had to get done today.
tonight I am tired, but not stressed out. we got it all done, and home by 7m 10 hours in town, is exhausting for me, and next week I can't do it, and now with all I got done today I won't have to be gone so long next week.
I pray for all of us, that we will "KNOW GOD IS in Control", and everything that happens to us, no matter what it looks like to us at the time, is a blessing, working for our good, strengthening us to get through what is comeing next.. I pray for all of us that we recognize every day is a good day because God is in control, we are "Too Blessed to be Stressed" in Jesus precious name, Amen.

IM in too!!!Please let me know times and days and all the particulars .I am on the east coast in Florida

Welcome dlcottage; prayer is the one gift we can all use it is never closed, and never out of style. we officially pray together at; 10:PM (EST); 9:PM (CST); 8:PM (MST); 7:PM (PST) but we all pray when we can, and when we feel the urge. 134 of us use this forum, to reach out to others when we can, and ask for prayer when we have a need. And to Celebrate our triumphs too!
I am happy to add you to that list, as you can tell on the forum, many of us just check in and pray silently, and others, writ their prayers, out. What ever you are comfortable with it fine.
I am thinking now we can "set 134,000,000 to flee"

Thank you so much for adding me .I will be joining in at 10 pm eastern time !!
thanks rose

I have been attending the Lakeland,FL revival at a store in my town via broadcast from God Tv. Please pray for all of us who have been attending. We are all getting hit. The scripture came to me today from Isa.59:19 "When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him." So what does that mean? What's the standard?

At the meeting last night a back room was flooded. not totally but enough water that 3 guys had to use wet vacs to suck it up. Our bsmt. was flooded a week or so ago and this morning there's problems with the sump pump or well. I was told by the worker my husband needs to get a pipe outside..more work. The stress of this house is killing us. We got a new car and my husband backed into a tree at his brothers and of course caused damage to the car (and tree lol) Now I looked out my back door to discover our mailbox and 3 neighbors are all knocked down.

My mom and stepdad will be driving to WI tomorrow from FL. He has had problems with his hearing and now eye problems. He's 86. Pray for safety. He's told not to drive at night but can be stubborn and doesn't take time to rest. My mom is very worried. Please pray for all of us. Thanks.

Barb and all,
My brother in law called earier to have us turn on the God Channel and watch the Lakeland Revival. My husband immediately said it was too charasmatic for him, but he didn't change the channel. After about half an hour, he got up and came over to me and put his arms around me. He said we was praying for my healing and that it would happen in God's way. I added that it would also be in His time. He then prayed for me. That meant the world to me and it was so beautiful.
I know my battle has been irritating and tiresome for my husband, but I am so thankful that he has never let me go- he's held my hand the entire way. Maybe I should have posted this under triumphs because it really feels good, and that's something that is an unusual feeling for me.

how wonderful for you I dream of, that happening for me. I watch allot of Christian things, and my husband doesn't pay it much attention, and if he does it is usually to make fun of it. but "Faith comes by hearing the word of God." and it is in the air of my home. and he doesn't change the channel any more (unless their is a ball game he wants to see real badly) one day we will pray together.

I added that it would also be in His time.
God can move in lightening speed faster than the blink of an eye, be positive, and don't limit God. believe with you husband without adding a jot or a tittle. I truly believe God can speak to a mans heart, unlike He can to a woman's. Men just don't have as much trouble believing in their worth and Value like we women do.
I also believe learning to Accept our value and worth by faith through Christ will keep us from being insecure and unable to trust those who want to love us.
And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, in that day when I publicly recognize and openly declare them to be My jewels (My special possession, My peculiar treasure). And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him - Malachi 3:17 AMP
For though the mountains should depart and the hills be shaken or removed, yet My love and kindness shall not depart from you, now shall My covenant of peace and completness be removed, says the Lord, Who has compassion on you. - Isaiah 54:10 AMP
many people believe the old testament has been completed, so they don't need to study it, but the old testament is full of ways to be, in order to receive the favor of the lord. I want to be a David, and Elijah, a Moses, a Joseph. It takes faith they went through so much but they kept their faith and God is faithful to Bless his people, of faith.

I pray we can all find our way in Christ to Accept our value, and worth, and thus our healing. in Jesus precious name. Amen

where do u find the help room for the group praying?
