Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
Psalm 127:1>
At this time, when feelings run high, the world seems crazy, and anger seems to be the one thing the peoples of the world have in common, I invite you, my fellow FReepers, to join me in prayers and meditation for guidance, God's help and for our fellow man, for America, our troops, and all our own needs.
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
William Bradbury
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change,
though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble with its tumult.
Psalm 46: 1-3
You are in my Prayers, in the Name of our Savior and Lord.
many thanks km

HEAL US, EMMANUEL
Heal us, Emmanuel, hear our prayer
We wait to feel Thy touch;
Deep wounded souls to Thee repair,
And Savior, we are such.
Our faith is feeble, we confess
We faintly trust Thy Word;
But wilt Thou pity us the less?
Be that far from Thee, Lord!
Remember him who once applied
With trembling for relief
“Lord, I believe,” with tears he cried;
“O help my unbelief!”
She, too, who touched Thee in the press
And healing virtue stole,
Was answered, “Daughter, go in peace;
Thy faith has made thee whole.”
Concealed amid the gathering throng,
She would have shunned Thy view;
And if her faith was firm and strong,
Had strong misgivings too.
Like her, with hopes and fears we come
To touch Thee if we may;
O send us not despairing home;
Send none unhealed away.
--William Cowper
Father, I ask that you would comfort our Sister Crabbie, and send your ready help.
Give her greater strength than she has yet known.
Let her be empowered by your love.
I ask for sleep, rest, wellness, comfort for her mother, direction for her husband.
Father, cheer her with the remembrance that you see the road ahead and know how to guide her.
Thank you for your great love.
I ask this in Jesus' Name.
Amen
Thank you for your wonderful post.
beautiful...and thank you so much
Greetings to you all in the Name of Him who loved us.
Gen 32:1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Gen 32:2 And when Jacob saw them he said, "This is God's camp!" So he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

Psa 34:7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. ...........
LORD,
I know that you are always caring for us.
There are many Blessings for us, seen and unseen.
May we always thank you before hand for all the marvelous things you have prepared for us.
Let your Name be Glorified in all our ways.
Please provide us with daily bread and opportunities to praise you.
In Jesus's Name we hope.
Joy and peace in believing.
Sometimes a light surprises
The christian while he sings;
It is the LORD who rises
With healing in his wings:
When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining
To cheer it after rain.
In holy contemplation,
We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God’s salvation,
And find it ever new:
Set free from present sorrow,
We cheerfully can say,
E’en let th’ unknown tomorrow,
Mt 6:34
Bring with it what it may.
It can bring with it nothing
But he will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing
Will clothe his people too:
Beneath the spreading heavens,
No creature but is fed;
And he who feeds the ravens,
Will give his children bread.
The vine, nor fig–tree neither,
Hab 3:17,18
Their wonted fruit should hear,
Though all the fields should wither,
Nor flocks, nor herds, be there:
Yet God the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice;
For while in him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice.
--William Cowper
Blessed are those who are Strong in the Lord, who Want Above All Else to Follow Your Steps. When they Walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a Place of Springs where Pools of Blessing and Refreshment Collect After Rains! They will Grow Constantly in Strength. (Ps.84:5-7)
This I Declare, that He Alone is my Refuge, my Place of Safety; He is my God, and I am Trusting in Him. For He Rescues you from Every Trap, and Protects you from the Fatal Plague. He will Shield you with His Wings. His Faithful Promises are your Armor. (Ps.91:2-4)
With All my Heart I will Praise You. I will Sing Glory to Your Name Forever, for You Love me So Much! You are Constantly So Kind! (Ps.86:12,13)
O God, have Mercy, for I am Trusting You! I will Take Shelter Beneath the Shadow of Thy Wings Until this Storm is Past. I will Cry to the God of Heaven Who Does Such Wonders for me. He will Send Down Help from Heaven to Deliver me, because of His Love and His Faithfulness. (Ps.57:1:3)
Your Majesty, You are All our Hope, and on Your Strong Arm we Fall. Go with Crabbie Every Moment through this Fiery Trial, and be Glorified in the Midst of All, through Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.

I have a Book Printed in 1911 of our Brother's Letters, and this Portion from a Letter he Wrote to his Cousin is Appropriate Here:
"I Pray to God to Comfort you, and to Enable you to Sustain this Heavy Stroke with that Resignation to His Will which None but Himself can Give, and which He Gives to None but His Own Children. How Blessed and Happy is your Lot, my Dear Friend, Beyond the Common Lot of the Greater Part of Mankind, that you Know what it is to Draw Near to God in Prayer, and are Acquainted with a Throne of Grace! You have Resources in the Infinite Love of a Dear Redeemer, which are Witheld from Millions; and the Promises of God, which are Yea and Amen in Jesus, are Sufficient to Answer All your Necessities, and to Sweeten the Bitterest Cup which your Heavenly Father will Ever Put into your Hand. May He Now Give you Liberty to Drink at these Wells of Salvation, till you are Filled with Consolation and Peace in the Midst of Trouble! He has Said, "When thou Passest through the Fire I will be with thee, and when through the Floods, they Shall not Overflow thee." You have Need of Such a Word as this, and He Knows your Need of it, and the Time of Necessity is the Time when He will be Sure to Appear in Behalf of those who Trust in Him."
You are Precious to us, Dearest Lord Jesus Christ. You are our Help in Times of Trouble and Trial. How Kind You are, and Your Compassionate Grace is our Stay. We Worship You for Your Mercies, and Praise You for Your Love. O Father our King, be Exalted Forever, as we Pray in Your Son's Name, amen.
Thank you all for your prayers and support. I know that everything will work out.
Amen, bperiwinkle7.
Prayers for your cure and that your difficult scheduling problems will be resolved, crabbie.
thank you, syriacus, you are very kind
Yea and amen. :-)
Psa 16:11 You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
........
Mat 7:14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few
........
Psa 17:15 As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.
.........
Mat 5:8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
.......
Rev 7:15 "Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.
Rev 7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat.
Rev 7:17 For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
Father, I ask for refreshing times to come to all who call upon you in Truth.
Please give sleep and rest after a long day in which it is easy to lose a sense of Joy in You.
We will awake with gratefulness for your creation and your Grace and your great Salvation.
We ask for healing for those that are ill and help for those in trouble and distress.
Please give comfort to the hearts of your people.
Let us rest our Hope in you, a great shelter from the storm and a shield from the burning sun.
Give us another day to draw near and bear witness to the Truth.
You will show us the Path of Life.
In your presence IS fullness of Joy.
Thank You Jesus.
Forever in my thought the Lord
Before my face shall stand,
Secure, unmoved, I shall remain,
With Him at my right hand.
My inmost being thrills with joy
And gladness fills my breast;
Because on Him my trust is stayed,
My flesh in hope shall rest.
I know that I shall not be left
Forgotten in the grave,
And from corruption, Thou, O Lord,
Thy holy one wilt save.
The path of life Thou showest me;
Of joy a boundless store
Is ever found at Thy right hand,
And pleasures evermore.
--The Psalter, 1912.
Thank you both for your wonderful prayers and thoughts today (my today, your yesterday).
{{{Huggsss}}} to all!
For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish;
it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish;
all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn:
I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies,
and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
~Psalm 92:4-15
