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

The Breath of Heaven, and Heaven's Blessing are with your Words, Dearest Carbine, and my Spirit is Praising our Jesus' Name! Thank You, our Beautiful and Loving Lord, for Thy Presence, Thine Anointings, and Thy Grace.
These Scriptures Blessed my Soul Today:
Sing for joy, O heavens!
Rejoice, O earth!
Burst into song, O mountains!
For the Lord has comforted his people
And will have compassion on them in their suffering.
Yet Jerusalem says,
“The Lord has deserted us;
The Lord has forgotten us.”
“Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child?
Can she feel no love for the child she has borne?
But even if that were possible,
I would not forget you!
See, I have written your name
On the palms of my hands." (Is.49:13-16)
Thank You for Your Eternal Love for us, our Sovereign, Saving God. Please Come Soon, Lord Jesus, and Establish Thy Kingdom of Peace. We Long for the End of the Rampant Iniquity we See, and we Want Thy Name to be Loved and Respected throughout the Earth. Pour Thy Mercies Upon the Lost, and Draw Many to Crown You their Heart's King. We Worship You, our Caring Shepherd-Lord, Praying in Jesus' Name, amen.
Amen absolutely.

Will all please put my uncle and aunt on their prayer list? He is 75 yrs. old and now bedridden (parachuting into a remote area and hit his hip hard on a rock, had to walk a long way on the injury to get to help which made it worse) it didn't heal up properly and now has other health issues to go along with it. Please pray for his pain to be eased; I talked with him tonight and he sounded awful. My aunt is very stressed, but bravely dealing with her care for him right now. He can't walk now, but please pray for him to be able to get up and function once again. Please pray we can help them meaningfully and practically. Thanks.

"Our Great God"
-Fernando Ortega
Eternal God, unchanging, mysterious and unknown.
Your boundless love unfailing, in grace and mercy shown.
Bright seraphim in endless flight around your glorious throne.
They raise their voices day and night in praise to you alone.
Chorus: Hallelujah! Glory be to our great God! (x2)
Lord, we are weak and frail, helpless in the storm.
Surround us with your angels, hold us in your arms.
Our cold and ruthless enemy, his pleasure is our harm.
Rise up, oh Lord, and he will flee before our Sovereign God.
Let every creature in the sea and every flying bird;
Let every mountain, every field and valley of the earth;
Let all the moons and all the stars in all the universe
Sing praises to the living God, who rules them by His word.
.............
Father, we know from your Word that perilous times are coming.
Luk 21:25 "There will be strange things happening to the sun, the moon, and the stars. On earth whole countries will be in despair, afraid of the roar of the sea and the raging tides.
I can hardly keep my eyes on the news.
It is disturbing in so many ways.
I need your peace.
You have told us before hand what will happen.
Luk 21:26 people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Luk 21:27 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Luk 21:28 Now when these things BEGIN to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."
I don't know Lord if we will be here for that.
I don't want to cower in fear, but be bold in faith.
This can only be done in the power of your Spirit.
I ask for courage by which I can Glorify you and stand in Faith.
I want to keep truth and expectant joy uppermost in my heart and mind.
It is hard to put this request into words.
Give me peace.
Revive us Lord, and let us wash our garments.
I ask this in Jesus' Name
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
His dying crimson, like a robe,
Spreads o’er His body on the tree;
Then I am dead to all the globe,
And all the globe is dead to me.
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all
Isaac Watts
Thanks.
Praying for your Aunt and Uncle Right Now in my Bedtime Prayers, and Prayers will Continue. Our Sweet King, Who Loves us Dearly, Bless him and Ease his Pain.
I love the music, lyrics, spirt, life and ministry of Fernando Ortega. God keep him overflowing with praise and love! Thank you for sharing those lyrics in particular, bp7!

Kirsty is 22 years old. Kirsty has attempted suicide. Kirsty is slightly mentaly handicaped, however a very nice but shy girl. In the last few years she lost her mother and grandmother, she just wanted to be with them. She had managed to get a job waiting on tables but people at work were not nice to her and had been bullying her. On her way home from work she threw herself under a train.She did not die, but is horribly injured, losing an arm and a leg. She has never done any harm to anyone in her life, but just could not cope with this world.
"See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands."
Send Your Hands to Kirsty through Your Body on the earth, please. Send kisses to her from us, from heaven through us. Transform the whole thing into Glory, for only You, Our God, are able! We are so grateful to be part of Your Plan for Kirsty for Good, and with trembling awe we thank You, Lord and Giver, that we may ask all things In Jesus Christ, amen.
Father,
I ask for a release of Power from Heaven for Kirsty.
Please open doors for her to be loved and cared for.
If there is a home where she can reside, or a special group where she can be sheltered, I ask that you open hearts and open a way for her.
You fed the deer this morning, and provided food for the birds, and shelter for the smallest creature.
Shelter Kirsty.
What is impossible for man is possible with you.
Let it work together for her good.
In Jesus Name.
Amen, bperiwinkle7.
2Sa 22:31 This God--his way is perfect; the word of the LORD proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
You are our Strong Tower and the Righteous run into you.
2Sa 22:32 "For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?
There is none other. No one prevents Him from doing everything He desires.
2Sa 22:33 This God is my strong refuge and has made my way blameless.
You have removed our sins from us as far as the east is from the west and have cleansed our hearts and minds with that Perfect Blood.
2Sa 22:34 He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights.
You have led me where I would not have gone and have done wonders.
You used the weak things to confound the powerful and the foolish things to put to nothing the wisdom of man.
You establish our way. You lift us up with wings like eagles.
2Sa 22:35 He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
You have taught me YOUR Ways. You have strengthened me and upheld me with Your strong right hand.
2Sa 22:36 You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your gentleness made me great.
You have shown me compassion and Mercy, and would have me show Your Love to all.
2Sa 22:37 You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip;
2Sa 22:38 I pursued my enemies and destroyed them, and did not turn back until they were consumed.
I will put all my ways at the foot of the Cross and crucify my weaknesses and inclinations until they are in submission to your Word and your Spirit.
I can not fail if I do your Word, for it is Your Word, and it does not return to you void, but performs what you intend.
Psa 42:1.... As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.
Psa 42:2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
Father, let my heart always long for you and thirst for you.
Let me never grow weary of seeking you.

As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee
Chorus:
You alone are my strength, my shield
To you alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee
You're my friend and you are my brother
Even though you are a king
I love you more than any other
So much more than anything
Chorus:
I want you more than gold or silver
Only you can satisfy
You alone are the real joy giver
And the apple of my eye
