Believe in your heart that
something wonderful is about to happen.
Love your life.
Believe in your own powers,
and your own potential,
and in your own innate goodness.
Wake every morning
with the awe of just being alive.
Discover each day the magnificent,
awesome beauty in the world.
Explore and embrace life in yourself
and in everyone you see each day.
Reach within to find your own specialness.
Amaze yourself and rouse those around you
to the potential of each new day.
Don't be afraid to admit
that you are less than perfect;
this is the essence of your humanity.
Let those who love you help you.
Trust enough to be able to take.
Look with hope to the horizon of today,
for today is all we truly have.
Live this day well.
Let a little sun out as well as in.
Create your own rainbows.
Be open to all your possibilities;
all possibilities and Miracles.
Always believe in Miracles.

Whether we lose someone through death or divorce
it is a loss, one that needs a grieving period,
one where we can draw near to God and trust in
Him, for His grace and mercy is new every
morning.


A prayer for anyone who is suffering loss:

O Lord, I am torn up with grief.
I know you are there, but I cannot see past
my sorrow and tears.
Be with me, Lord, and do not take
my unhappiness to heart.
Rather, work within me to guide me through
these dark days
and bring your light to my life,
so that I may see your goodness, even in my mourning.

But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.
~ Matthew 6: 33

There is such a fundamental truth in this scripture. How often do we try to take care of our needs in the area of finances, or try dealing with difficult circumstances before looking to God?

We try to work out how we will get through it, or how we will meet our unpaid bills. God says here in His word to ‘seek first His kingdom’.

It’s in putting God first in everything and seeking His righteousness – ‘His way of doing and being right’, that all these other things in our lives will be taken care of. Many Christians have found that by putting God first, the difficult circumstances they are in start to come together in a divine way. God does answer prayer and will intervene as we honour Him first.

This is especially true in the area of finances. By always putting God first, and giving into the kingdom of God – He provides what we need. God will always honour those who put Him first in everything. So if you are facing a real struggle especially in the area of finances, give it over to the Lord. Choose today to ‘seek first His kingdom’. Put God first in everything. He promises to take care of all these other things.

I would like to pray this afternoon about relationships. Sometimes things come up and it prevents people of both sexes from communicating. My prayer would be for all of the girl-guy relationships as we so know them, but not just limited to that and not just limited to intimate long-term relationships.

I think its important to have prayer for your friends, too. Guys can have female friends, and ladies can have men friends, and these types of things can be very good for both people. But let's not stop there. Let's pray that guy-to-guy buddies and girl-to-girl buddies have the same blessing. And of course we'll pray for the intimate and long-term relations people share. I just wanted to point out it was my intention to include all relationships of all kinds. Even the ones with your children, nieces, nephews, mother, father, grandfather. Maybe even the relationships with have with the people we work with or see at the grocery store.

I just feel really motivated to pray for this particular thing this afternoon. That god would give us all good relations with those people in and around our lives.

And that we thankful for the small handful of people that are in our lives each day. Be grateful to God that we can enjoy their company today because they may be called home to be with the Lord on any given day. In that day we might miss them, but it is good to know that they are in the Lord's hands that day, and as we have faith, we too will one day be with the Lord. But given this day right now, let's enjoy the people we care for, and pray for them, and be thankful for them.

I will agree with you in prayer for relationships, for friends, family, for all those who need a friend, a comforting word, a helping hand, for the body of Christ to be what the Lord intends it to be.

The importance of relationships

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”- Romans 12:1

John 13:34-35 (King James Version)

34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another

In this section, feel free to post any prayer request you might have. It might be little or small, God cares about all of our needs, no matter how trivial, no matter how exclusively huge. He loves us, and their is power when the believers come together and pray.

Make him Lord of your entire life from top to bottom, and don't be afraid to ask him and trust him to bless even the teeny-weeny itty bitty stuff. We come to Him in dire need, but remember to come to Him when we are NOT in dire need.

Pray without ceasing.


Jim

ps. And... if your prayer(s) get(s) answered, please come back and testify... tell us all about it so we can praise Him along side of you... praise... that is on of the strongest things!

How about this one... people of all colors, all classes can sing this one in one accord. Let me jam some blues on this one...

***********************

Amazing Grace


Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.

T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.

The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.

When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.

I'm going to change this to...

... God would simply give me the grace to live alone.

I have to confess that I really do not think "it" is ever going to happen for me. So, I am going to need the ability to live peaceful and deal with being alone for the next 50 or so years.

Praying this way is probably better, then I can forget about the struggles involved with meeting, making, then breaking up with women. It is all entirely too much of a severe struggle for me, so I am determined to just live alone.

So, it is a better calling to just draw closer to God and forget allabout it.ust hang it up.

I suppose, after 46 years of living single (and one failed five year marriage), I would "get it" that God doesn't intend for me to be with somebody.

So, all I can see as my real need is to draw closer to him, forget about all this silly "love" stuff, and continue on the path.

Can't imagine there is ever going to be anything different for me.

TM,

I think many of us wonder about that sometimes.

I believe that is the way God made us, with a desire to be in relationships, whether it be with a spouse, a very close friend, or with family.

Prayers with you.
