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

Psa 27:4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
Psa 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

Psa 31:19 Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind!
Psa 31:20 In the cover of your presence you hide them from the plots of men; you store them in your shelter from the strife of tongues.

Father, this day we seek to be so near to you.
Help us to follow Jesus closely today.
Give us peace in the midst of clamor and chaos.
Give us hope and assurance of our salvation and your soon return.
We ask for help for those who are in difficulty from weather or any trouble.
We only need you.
Protect your people and perform your Word today and we will be satisfied in you.
Hide us in your Word as we walk through our day.
Let it be our hidden Manna.
I ask that all these things would Glorify you, King of the Ages.

Psa 19:4 Their measuring line goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
Psa 19:5 which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
Psa 19:6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

"....Jesus, like a sun, dwells in the midst of revelation, tabernacling among men in all his brightness; rejoicing, as the Bridegroom of his church, to reveal himself to men; and, like a champion, to win unto himself renown. He makes a circuit of mercy, blessing the remotest corners of the earth; and there are no seeking souls, however degraded and depraved, who shall be denied the comfortable warmth and benediction of his love - even death shall feel the power of his presence, and resign the bodies of the saints, and this fallen earth shall be restored to its pristine glory."
-The Treasury of David, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, 1885

Isa 42:10 Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants.
Isa 42:11 Let the desert and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits; let the habitants of Sela sing for joy, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Isa 42:12 Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the coastlands.
Isa 42:13 The LORD goes out like a mighty man, like a man of war he stirs up his zeal; he cries out, he shouts aloud, he shows himself mighty against his foes.

You are victorious Lord. We rejoice in you. Help us also to have hind's feet in high places today when we think of your coming and look forward to seeing your face.

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.

"O that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful
works to the children of men."
- Psalm 107:8



If we complained less, and praised more, we should be happier, and God
would be more glorified. Let us daily praise God for common mercies-common
as we frequently call them, and yet so priceless, that when deprived of
them we are ready to perish. Let us bless God for the eyes with which we
behold the sun, for the health and strength to walk abroad, for the bread
we eat, for the raiment we wear. Let us praise him that we are not cast
out among the hopeless, or confined amongst the guilty; let us thank him
for liberty, for friends, for family associations and comforts; let us
praise him, in fact, for everything which we receive from his bounteous
hand, for we deserve little, and yet are most plenteously endowed. But,
beloved, the sweetest and the loudest note in our songs of praise should
be of redeeming love. God's redeeming acts towards his chosen are for ever
the favourite themes of their praise. If we know what redemption means,
let us not withhold our sonnets of thanksgiving. We have been redeemed
from the power of our corruptions, uplifted from the depth of sin in which
we were naturally plunged. We have been led to the cross of Christ-our
shackles of guilt have been broken off; we are no longer slaves, but
children of the living God, and can antedate the period when we shall be
presented before the throne without spot or wrinkle or any such thing.
Even now by faith we wave the palm-branch and wrap ourselves about with
the fair linen which is to be our everlasting array, and shall we not
unceasingly give thanks to the Lord our Redeemer? Child of God, canst thou
be silent? Awake, awake, ye inheritors of glory, and lead your captivity
captive, as ye cry with David, "Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is
within me, bless his holy name.
" Let the new month begin with new songs.

C.H.SPURGEON

GODSPEED!

Prayer bump!

Made it to Boise, and now I'm back on line!



O my Jesus,

On this day, and every day, I give you myself to you.

I offer you my today with all its sorrows, pain, pitfalls.

I offer you my today, with all its hopes and joys, pleasant anticipations, enjoyments.

I offer you my today, full of opportunity to say your name, to draw close to you, to call you dear.


Use my hands, beloved Master,
Use my words, my feet, my heart
as tools to spread your light,
to heal the sick,
comfort the sorrowful,
help those in need
pointing the way back to you.

Let me remember always
the sorrow and pain you willingly bore
to give me life with you,
and ever in thanks and joy and wonder
may I speak your holy name with love and awe.

Amen

Saw a little snow here, more in Ogden. I joked and said I brought the snow with me, cause it doesn't snow a lot in Boise...

We will run a time or two back to Ogden, but now Boise is where my puter is, so it is home!
