Today, Father, I ask that Your Will be done - and that we do not stand in the way of that Will. May we serve You as You have called, and may we follow where You would lead us. In Jesus name I pray it...
Amen.

Father, I ask, and will keep before you in the coming days, a request that you would make a way for KAC while she is moving.
You ride on the wings of the wind, so direct it to the best advantage for good weather.
Lead her in paths of righteousness and good roads, for your Name's sake, because you love her family.
Give her support and strength beyond herself.
Keep her eyes refreshed.
Guard her from unnecessary tension in her muscles.
Bring her rejoicing when the work is done back into Prayer Fellowship with us, who will miss her.......
Psa 23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Psa 23:2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
Psa 23:3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Psa 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Psa 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
Amen, KAC. Prayers from NY that your move goes smoothly.
I have been wanting to write this...
My fellow-Christians in this country, have been trying to fight spiritual attacks with political weapons alone. The nature of the attacks on our culture have all been spiritual from the beginning, with the ACLU and their dirty work of eliminating Christ from Public mention to Planned Parenthood, encouraging immorality as a right. And finally, a false god and its religion, Islam, comes against us with a fury, demanding us to submit or die.
Eph 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
We must take up Spiritual weaponry to fight this fight...the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but are Mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God....we must recognize the spiritual nature of the war.
We must recognize the height from which our culture over the few hundred years has fallen...which can be done by reading the literature, listening to the music and reading biographies of what the people did and what they held important.....
Rev 2:4 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.
Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen;
We must fight in our own hearts against anything that displeases God. We must be disgusted with the sin that overwhelms this nation, like sewage. We must humbly seek God's forgiveness and help. We must stand in the gap.
Eph 6:13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
Eph 6:15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
Eph 6:16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
Eph 6:17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
Eph 6:18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
We must pray for Revival in our hearts, and in the entire nation, of those that will hear what the Spirit is saying.
Then, the Lord alone knows how he will bend low and help us. How he will come down and turn back the reproach of apostasy from this nation...if we obey him, and love him and each other according to his word.......
If not now, when? If not us? Whom?
I pray we will stand in the gap.
Eze 22:30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
Give us help, Lord, in Jesus' Name.
Knitting, know that our thoughts and prayers will be with you as you move to Boise. May your strength be His Strength alone. FOR SURE you will be MISSED here!!!

Amen ! This poem just blessed me so much!!
God is our ever present strength.
Godspeed on your journey, Knitting. *This, too, shall pass.* Just think how short a week is when we're doing everyday things, not making a big move.
In 4-5 days, you'll be deposited in a new place, with all the busyness and loving work ahead of you that dispels time for worry, doubt or regrets. Each 24 hours is a time of renewal.
One day at a time, we build bridges from "then" to "now."
Matthew 6:34 - "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
If I get a chance on Thursday, I will pop into the library. But I'm not letting them take down my puter before Tuesday...and it will go with me in my own car!
Thank you and everyone who has taken time to lift us up in prayer....
YW - and *go have an adventure*! I *would,* if I *could*!
FReeper "Socratic" needs prayers here:

Our gracious giving Lord keep thee well, safe, energetic, enthused as you move and settle and adjust. I'll miss you here, and look forward to a ping when you get back online, dear Knitting.

Lam 3:21 But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
Lam 3:22 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;
Lam 3:23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lam 3:24 "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."
Lam 3:25 The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
Lam 3:26 It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
Father I thank you for this day. Help us to go about the work that you have given us in quietness, hope and contentment.
You are the vine and we are the branches. Our lives are in you and from you and through you. Bless all those that need your direction today with Light from Heaven. Support and help and heal with your touch. Bring us safely again at the end of the day to our families and home. Help our hearts to be attentive to your Spirit today.
1Ti 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Isa 26:1 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city; he sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks.
Isa 26:2 Open the gates, that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.
Isa 26:3 You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
Isa 26:4 Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.

Oh, the joys of those
Who do not Follow the advice of the wicked,
Or stand around with sinners,
Or join in with mockers.
But they delight in the law of the Lord,
Meditating on it day and night.
They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
Bearing luscious fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
And all they do shall prosper.
But not the wicked!
They are like worthless chaff,
Scattered by the wind.
They will be condemned at the time of judgment.
Sinners will have no place among the godly.
For the Lord watches over the path of the godly,
But the path of the wicked leads to destruction. (Ps.1)
Thank You, O Master, that our Knitting is Safe in Your Loving Care. Grant her Grace Upon Grace, and All Things Needed, as she Lives Out Your Will. Fill Your Daughter with Peace and Strength, and Work All Circumstances Out in a Wonderful Way. May Your Hand of Blessing be Traced, our King, and Your Glory be Marvellously Displayed. We Love You, our Awesome, Providing, Sustaining, Father God. In the Name of Your Son, we Give You All Praise, amen.
Amen Kitty
