Many freepers are having hard times; I've heard of some via freepmail, seen comments on threads, and as times get harder, more of us will experience financial hardship, health problems, emotional sorrows of many kinds, family problems - the human condition. I've heard of spouses with chronic terminal illness, members here with chronic, painful and incurable ailemnts; husbands laid off and rent past due, people with relatives who have cut themselves off from contact, and countless other sorrows and problems.
I pray to God that all who seek Him find His shelter. I pray that everyone here finds the means to take care of their necessities, and I pray that the Lord gives the comfort and strength, and peace of mind and wisdom that only He can bring.
I am pinging the Moral Absolutes ping list and a few other names to this prayer; I hope no one minds.
Thank you. We can’t pray enough!
Excellent prayer.
Some things have no earthly cure; but holding fast to God is like being in the eye of the hurricane - you know there’s a storm, but in your heart there is a place of peace and safety.
Many thanks.
Prayers that God’s will be done and that He look upon our suffering friends will all His Mercy and Grace.
That is beautifully said.
100% agree.
AMEN!
Some of the worst heart pain is seeing those you care about suffering and there is nothing you can do.
May God protect and comfort all who suffer.

On 2/14/2012, at 12 o’clock noon, I wish to request that everyone stop and recite the Lord’s prayer and these verses. If you are in a car, at a stoplight, let traffic wait. If you are at work, stop what you are doing.
We need to get down on one knee, all of us, and pray to God Almighty and tell Him that we do, in fact, love Him, just as He loves us.
One time, years ago, I was in a certain foreign country during a huge strike over oil prices. Truckers with tomatoes, cars, everytbing came to a standstill, and they stalled everything as people tried to get to work.
And, it worked. A few days later, the point was made, changes occurred and people went back to work.
Viva Italia
We can do this here, without crawling on our bellies to the steps of a national government that cuts us to ribbons and the children out of our women.
If it’s good enough for Tim Tebow to get down on one knee in front of God and everybody, it should be good enough for us, too.
Amen.
> May Your will be done.
Well said, Sir, and I join you in your prayer.
My prayers elsewhere on this forum are most often not for things or events, but rather for exactly what you said above: comfort and strength, and peace of mind and wisdom.
Indeed these are gifts from God, having no Earthly price. May the Grace of God be with you.
I don’t mind at all. May God’s love be of comfort to all.
Praying in agreement with you, Amen
Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be ANXIOUS-about anything, but IN EVERYTHING, by PRAYER and PETITION , with THANKSGIVING Present your REQUESTS to God. And the PEACE of GOD, which TRANSENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING, WILL GUARD your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
There is So Much in this verse it is Amazing! Reread and Mediate with Action! Do Pray and Do not let up!! This is a doing not a thought only. So important!!
Notice "Peace of GOD, which Transends All Understanding".
You do not have to understand how but will have peace.
How about the word anxious or anxiety. About anything, but in everything by prayer.
If I did not pray at various times during the day I would be a wreck.
But thank God all Mighty I do!!
Take it Day by Day!
Amen!!
thank you L.J.
This is a good time to focus on the blessings in our lives as well and its important to stay positive as my wife always tells me. “stay positive !”
Amen!!
That is a SUPER prayer. I have it written down on an index card and keep it in my kitchen.
