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 Fathers throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempters 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
Good for her. Thanks for posting it. Candle is still lit (new one every 48 hours, as you know).
Thank you!
Amen!

Thank you Lord, for those weaknesses I cry about,
All those things I know that teach me
that it is not by our power I get things done,
those moments of weakness that show clearly
how much I need you.
There are those pauses in the struggle when I turn around,
as if I were walking up a mountain way
Where I sometimes get a glimpse and see how far
you have brought me this far, this day,
by the power of your hand.
Those moments give me hope, O God,
For those days when I feel frail and weak,
and indecisive and uncertain, lost,
and I feel so all alone - turning, let me seek
You who must be my strength.
Soften my heart O Lord, so that I know
It is you who are the doer of my good, not I
that no matter what, I rest in your hands,
and in your hands, even when I cry,
I could be in no better place.
Amen.
BTTT
"and in your hands, even when I cry,
I could be in no better place."
Amen.
Rev 22:16 "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star."

The King shall come when morning dawns,
And light triumphant breaks;
When beauty gilds the eastern hills,
And life to joy awakes.
Not as of old a little child
To bear, and fight, and die,
But crowned with glory like the sun
That lights the morning sky.
O brighter than the rising morn
When He, victorious, rose,
And left the lonesome place of death,
Despite the rage of foes.
O brighter than that glorious morn
Shall this fair morning be,
When Christ, our King, in beauty comes,
And we His face shall see.
The King shall come when morning dawns,
And earths dark night is past;
O haste the rising of that morn,
The day that aye shall last.
And let the endless bliss begin,
By weary saints foretold,
When right shall triumph over wrong,
And truth shall be extolled.
The King shall come when morning dawns,
And light and beauty brings:
Hail, Christ the Lord! Thy people pray,
Come quickly, King of kings.
--Hymns of the Russian Church, 1907.
2Co 4:6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Father,
I know of no better thing to pray than to thank you for the Knowledge of your Son, My Saviour and LORD forever.
I ask that Your will be done today as it is in Heaven.
Dislodge the enemy from every heart that longs to follow you, by the power of your Holy Spirit and your Word.
Give us victory today over the world, the flesh and the devil.
You have, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
New FReeper's son is over there with 1st Cavalry.
Please join me in prayer for all...
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in our day of battle; protect us against the deceit and wickedness of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.
And you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God banish into hell Satan and all of the evil spirits who roam through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
Amen!
Thanks for ping Dita.. and a big amen to that!
Thanks for the ping.
LORD God of HOSTS,
Give battle wisdom.
Strengthen our resolve to fight evil.
Expose works of darkness.
Break the teeth of our enemies and shut the mouths of liars.
Have Mercy upon those who have determined to do right.
I ask this in Jesus' Name, which is above all names in heaven, and on this earth and under the earth.
He is the HEAD of all principalities and powers.
Let every knee bow and every tongue confess that JESUS is LORD to the GLORY of the Father.
AMEN.
"Father, to thee in Christ I fly,
What tho' my sins of crimson dye
For thy resentment call?
My crimes he did on Calv'ry bear,
The blood that flow'd for sinners there
Shall cleanse me from them all.
Spirit divine, thy pow'r bring in,
O raise me from this depth of sin,
Take off my guilty load:
Now let me live through Jesu's death,
And, being justified by faith,
May I have peace with God!
Foul as I am, deserving hell,
Thou can'st not from thy throne repel
A soul that leans on God:
My sins at thy command shall be
Cast as a stone into the sea
The sea of Jesu's blood." (Agustus Toplady)
Glory to You, Master, for the Salvation You Grant to Your Lambs; our Praise Arises to our Magnificent Lord of Grace. Be Pleased, Your Excellency, to Make us to Live in Thy Strength. Save our America, Great King of Saints; Raise us to Godliness Again. Open the Hearts of Many to Receive Your Son, O Father God. We Love You, and Live in Wonder of Your Grace.
Be Worshipped and Exalted Forever, our Saving Lord of Love. In the Name of our Faithful God, Jesus Christ, amen.
Amen.
(Thought of you this morning when reading about a far-back ancestor in my genealogy who was named Catherine Mitchell, but nicknamed "Kitty Mitty"!)
In Jesus' name, Amen.
There are times and moments, Lord, like now,
Where the words rush by me, escaping somehow.
What is there for me to say,
When I see the darkness day by day.
On my knees I pray to Thee:
O my Lord, have mercy.
Word by word, and life by life,
The world gone mad with hate and strife,
Those who should be there to show us the way
Have secret sins that they must obey.
On my knees I pray to Thee:
O my Lord, have mercy.
The hardness of heart across the world
like a sword it slashes, like a spear, it's hurled
To pit the one against another,
Over and over Cain slays his brother.
On my knees, I pray to Thee:
O my Lord, have mercy.
Lord, help us stand against this night,
And touch our hearts with Thy pure light.
Help us walk in mercy's way,
Shine with your love, day by day.
On my knees, I pray to Thee:
O my Lord, have mercy.
Teach our hearts, then how to be
Loving followers of Thee,
Knowing how to shed your light,
In this land of sin and night.
On my knees I pray to Thee:
O my Lord, have mercy.
Remind us of Thy mercy-seat,
A cross where Heaven and earth do meet,
You bled and died to open the door,
A flame of Love forever more.
On my knees I pray to Thee:
Thank You, Lord, for Your mercy.

the car he was driving in. There were seven cars
