The Prayer Room: Praying for America, FR, and all who need it
Various | 11/8/06 | Knitting a Conundrum

Posted on 11/09/2006 6:49:58 PM PST by Knitting A Conundrum

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

Thank you for that Wonderful Article, bp7! It was a Blessing to Read, and your Offerings to our King are Banquets of Grace!

This Hymn by our Brother Touched me in its Tenderness and Love Towards Young People, Towards Children, as his Desire for their Salvation was Manifest in a Powerful Way:

Sin has undone our wretched race;
But Jesus has restored,
And brought the sinner face to face
With his forgiving Lord.

This we repeat from year to year
And press upon our youth;
Lord, give them an attentive ear,
Lord, save them by Thy truth!

Blessings upon the rising race!
Make this a happy hour,
According to Thy richest grace,
And thine Almighty power.

We feel for your unhappy state
(May you regard it too),
And would a while ourselves forget
To pour our prayer for you.

We see, though you perceive it not,
The approaching awful doom;
Oh tremble at the solemn thought,
And flee the wrath to come!

Dear Saviour, let this new-born year
Spread an alarm abroad;
And cry in every careless ear,
"Prepare to meet thy God!" ~William Cowper~

Grant us, we Pray Thee, our Saving Lord, an Extra Measure of Thy Love and Grace. Quicken us, King Jesus, with Limitless Zeal for the Lost. Thank You for Your Workings to, through, and within us, O God. Pardon our Transgressions for our King's Sake, our Merciful Lord. Grant our America Repentance, and Make us a Light of Thy Gospel Truth. Blessed be the Lord; Day After Day He Carries us Along. He's our Savior, our God, oh yes! He's God-for-us, He's God-Who-Saves-us. (Ps.68:19) We Love You, O Father our King! Glory to our Magnificent and Everlasting One! In Jesus' Name, we Lift High Thy Name, amen.

Most Precious, Eternal, Omnipotent God, of whom all your creation sings in great gladness.
You are coming and we long to see your appearing.
Your Love has kept us and will keep us as we await your Shout and Glory.
We pray for our Brothers and Sisters, young and old, who are giving you Glory with their very lives, being taken like sheep to the slaughter because the world has hated You.
Be near to them and give them Joy at your Truth.
Uphold them as they trust you with all.
I ask that you help us keep our eyes on your return.

Luk 21:28 But when these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near!"

Your Love in us for others who need to know you and receive your Salvation must increase.
Let us be your witnesses to the uttermost parts where we are.
Now all Glory and Honor and Praise be to You our Redeemer and King who was and is and is to come.
The Joy of the LORD is our strength.
Amen and Amen to the King Immortal, Eternal, Invisible, to the Only Wise God.
Let your Praises Ring we pray in Jesus' Name.

Wake, awake, for night is flying;
The watchmen on the heights are crying:
Awake, Jerusalem, at last!
Midnight hears the welcome voices
And at the thrilling cry rejoices;
Come forth, ye virgins, night is past;
The Bridegroom comes, awake;
Your lamps with gladness take;
Alleluia! And for His marriage feast prepare
For ye must go and meet Him there.

Zion hears the watchmen singing,
And all her heart with joy is springing;
She wakes, she rises from her gloom;
For her Lord comes down all glorious,
The strong in grace, in truth victorious.
Her Star is risen, her Light is come.
Ah come, Thou blessèd One, God’s own belovèd Son:
Alleluia! We follow till the halls we see
Where Thou hast bid us sup with Thee.

Now let all the heavens adore Thee,
And saints and angels sing before Thee,
With harp and cymbal’s clearest tone;
Of one pearl each shining portal,
Where we are with the choir immortal
Of angels round Thy dazzling throne;
Nor eye hath seen, nor ear hath yet attained to hear
What there is ours, but we rejoice and sing to Thee
Our hymn of joy eternally.
--Phillip Nikolai 1599

Teach me o Lord, the ways of your mercy,
How to reach out in truth,
Not in the false sentimentality of popular notions,
that shifting sense of fairness
that changes with fashion and taste,
but in the true ways your word reveals,
caring for the ugly and the outcast,
the unpopular, the needy,
in the ways that you show us to do.

Teach me O Lord, the ways of your mercy,
How to reach out in truth,
Not with the false rationality that blooms ever anew
to find reasons not to help, to say no
in spite of the truth of what your word reveals,
help me not to turn my back on the ones you send me,
help me not to grow hard hearted with the call now to love,
but to walk in the ways that you call us to do.

Teach me, O Lord, the ways of your mercy,
To see your eyes shining in the face of the lost,
To hear your voice calling in the cry of the hungry,
To reach out and cover your shoulders as I clothe the naked,
To feel your touch in the hands of the unloved.
Through your help, O Lord, let me reach out to God's children
As if I were reaching out in love to you.

This day, and always, Amen.

Father in Heaven,
I ask that you would touch Sister KAC and return her health.
I pray she would get medicine that helps her and will cause no harm.
I ask that you give her quick recovery and comfort.
Help her to sleep, and diminish her pain.
Work everything together so that she gets the help she needs.
Protect her from further illness.
Take a coal from the Altar before you and cleanse the infection from her body.
Heal the mouth and throat that Praise you with Joy and the ears That listen to your Voice.
I ask this in the wonderful Name of Jesus.

I am truly in wonder, love and praise. Every single word of that post is divinely aimed for my heart, my stirred-up lively spirit to pray with you. This is our Awesome God! O Hallelujah, O Love of God, O Fellowship Divine, All Glorious Truth, amen, amen. His Spirit is so strong, so gentle, such a mighty wind and such musical rain among us with lifted faces to His Glorious Shining! Jesus, all this, all this and so much more, in Joy, because You came, You died, You rose again, You ascended! Thank You, Adonai.

One more prayer request, FRiends! Our realtor just emailed us and said we had an offer on the house we are selling. Pray that it be enough and the deal goes through with no hitch!

Joh 14:27 "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Your heart must not be troubled or fearful.
.......
Phi 4:6 Don't worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
Phi 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
......
Col 3:15 And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts. Be thankful.
.......
2Th 3:16 May the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
........

Lord of Peace,
Help us guard our hearts and minds so that the perfect Peace that you give will mount a garrison of defense over us.
I pray for peace in our households, our churches, our places of business and wherever you should lead us.
May you be Glorified by the abundance of Peace that your church exhibits because you are not a God of confusion.
This is not peace as the world gives, which is no peace at all.
Help us to stand as steadfast soldiers and strengthen the feeble hand and steady the knee that gives way.

Psa 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace.

http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/w/s/wsivmsol.htm

Why should I vex my soul, and fret
To see the wicked rise?
Or envy sinners waxing great
By violence and lies?

As flowery grass, cut down at noon,
Before the evening fades,
So shall their glories vanish soon
In everlasting shades.

Then let me make the Lord my trust,
And practice all that’s good;
So shall I dwell among the just,
And He’ll provide me food.

I to my God my ways commit,
And cheerful wait His will;
Thy hand, which guides my doubtful feet,
Shall my desires fulfill.

Mine innocence shalt Thou display,
And make Thy judgments known,
Fair as the light of dawning day,
And glorious as the noon.

The meek at last the earth possess,
And are the heirs of Heav’n;
True riches, with abundant peace,
To humble souls are giv’n.

Rest in the Lord, and keep His way,
Nor let your anger rise,
Though Providence should long delay
To punish haughty vice.

Let sinners join to break your peace,
And plot, and rage, and foam;
The Lord derides them, for He sees
Their day of vengeance come.

They have drawn out the threatening sword,
Have bent the murderous bow,
To slay the men that fear the Lord,
And bring the righteous low.

My God shall break their bows, and burn
Their persecuting darts,
Shall their own swords against them turn,
And pain surprise their hearts.
--Isaac Watts
