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

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.
..........
2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
2Co 4:8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;
2Co 4:9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
2Co 4:10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.

Lord, always we come to you in weakness, vessels of clay.
Strengthen our physical bodies and heal those that are broken or diseased.
We ask you for comfort for troubled minds, peace that passes understanding and the answers we are seeking.
Guide us Precious Father.
We know you won't be even a little late.
Rescue and help.
Let restoration come to us in the night.
We need a supernatural rest.
We rely upon you.
In you we Trust.
I ask to Glorify you in all things.
The LORD be Praised.

http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/n/o/nowrestb.htm

Now rest beneath night’s shadow
The woodland, field, and meadow,
The world in slumber lies;
But Thou, my heart, awake thee,
To prayer and song betake thee;
Let praise to thy Creator rise.

The radiant sun hath vanished,
His golden rays are banished
By night, the foe of day;
But Christ, the Sun of gladness,
Dispelling all my sadness,
Within my heart holds constant sway.

The rule of day is over
And shining jewels cover
The heaven’s boundless blue.
Thus I shall shine in heaven,
Where crowns of gold are given
To all who faithful prove and true.

To rest my body hasteth,
Aside its garments casteth,
Types of mortality;
These I put off and ponder
How Christ will give me yonder
A robe of glorious majesty.

Lord Jesus, Who dost love me,
Oh, spread Thy wings above me
And shield me from alarm!
Though evil would assail me,
Thy mercy will not fail me:
I rest in Thy protecting arm.

My loved ones, rest securely,
For God this night will surely
From peril guard your heads.
Sweet slumbers may He send you
And bid His hosts attend you
And through the night watch o’er your beds.

Prayers still needed for Austin, 14-yo son of FReeper PhatHead. Perhaps you all already have been praying for him; I had somehow missed the many posts until tonight, so I was hesitant to use the ping list.

To review:

Prayer Request for Austin - age 14

Posted on 11/19/2006 11:04:04 PM CST by PhatHead

More than two years ago, I asked for your prayers for my son, who was undergoing treatment for a malignant brain tumor. His treatment at the time, though physically brutal, was successful. However, Austin's cancer has returned, and he will be going back into radiation and chemo soon - he had surgery last week.

This is so hard - he pretty much missed Middle School with this, and now here goes High School. Pray for him to enjoy college...

We will very much appreciate all of your prayers. Thanks you.
....
To: All
I just want to let you all know that the cancer has also spread to his spine. He begins chemotherapy Monday.

To: All
I just want to give you all a little bit of an update. Austin's feeling much better so far than he did the last time through chemo in 2004-05 - very little nausea. He has lost his hair already, though - his older brother and I shaved our heads, too. Sounds corny, I know. We did not do it last time, but he is older now, and was more upset about the hair loss than when he was 11. He enjoyed buzzing us.

His next treatment phase, sometime in the spring, will be much, much tougher than this one - he'll be in the hospital for at least a month.

Thank you all for your continued prayers - i know they mean a lot to Austin, and to me.

Pax Christi.

Thank you so much for both of your beautiful meditations for today. I always read every word that is posted, taking time to savor them. Please know that, when sometimes I am silent.

I have been hurt lately by some puzzling silences and some cruelty and I get real quiet (unusual for me!) until I can get charitable again. At least my hands are healing, yippee for hydrocortisone cream and my FRPR FRiends!

Happy Wednesday to All!

Loving our Savior with you, Dear Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ.

Hallelujah! Thank God! Pray to him by name!
Tell everyone you meet what he has done!
Sing him songs, belt out hymns,
Translate his wonders into music!
Honor his holy name with Hallelujahs,
You who seek God. Live a happy life!
Keep your eyes open for God, watch for his works;
Be alert for signs of his presence.
Remember the world of wonders he has made,
His miracles, and the verdicts he's rendered—
O seed of Abraham, his servant,
O child of Jacob, his chosen. (Ps.105:1-6)

We are So Thankful for You, our Christ, so Filled with Your Loving Praise. We Magnify Your Name, O Father; with All that is Within us, we Love You, our God. Surround Thy Children with Mercies, Granting us Healing and Super-Abundant Grace. Overflow us with Thy Spirit, and Help us to Glorify You. Our Merciful Master, we Praises You for Your Graciousness to us. In the Name of His Excellency our King we Pray, amen.

I am incapable of expressing even adequately my thanks for these daily pings to praise and prayer and proclamation! If the Lord returns upon thee at my request in Christ our King even half the glory, you will know my thanksgiving for thee and Him in and through thee, amen.

Psa 51:6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
Psa 51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Psa 51:8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice.
Psa 51:9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
Psa 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Psa 51:11 Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
Psa 51:12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
...........
Psa 51:15 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.
Psa 51:16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
Psa 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
..........
Joh 4:23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.
Joh 4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
.........

Oh Father, today, help us to desire only truth, to walk in it, to meditate upon it, and to reject everything, wherever we find it, that is not Your Truth.
We desire to be Worshippers of yours, to delight your heart.

I ask for help for all those seeking to walk uprightly before you; help in spirit, soul and body.
I ask that we might rightly divide the Word of Truth, and live it today.
I know that you forgive us when we repent of sin.
Please help us even more to stay on that Highway of Holiness today.
You are Worthy of all praise.
You are the Faithful One.
Your Merices are New every morning.
Be the Glory and the Lifter of our heads.
Arise, and let your enemies be scattered.
I ask this in the Mighty Name above all names, Jesus.

Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life:
Such a way as gives us breath;
Such a truth as ends all strife,
Such a life as killeth death.

Come, my Light, my Feast, my Strength:
Such a light as shows a feast,
Such a feast as mends in length,
Such a strength as makes his guest.

Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart:
Such a joy as none can move,
Such a love as none can part,
Such a heart as joys in love
--George Herbert

Holy Lord God! I love Thy truth,
Nor dare Thy least commandment slight;
Yet pierced by sin, the serpent’s tooth,
I mourn the anguish of the bite.

But though the poison lurks within,
Hope bids me still with patience wait;
Till death shall set me free from sin,
Free from the only thing I hate.

Had I a throne above the rest,
Where angels and archangels dwell;
One sin, unslain, within my breast,
Would make that Heav’n as dark as hell.

The prisoner, sent to breathe fresh air,
And blessed with liberty again,
Would mourn, were he condemned to wear
One link of all his former chain.

But O! no foe invades the bliss,
When glory crowns the Christian’s head;
One view of Jesus as He is,
Will strike all sin forever dead.
--William Cowper

Darkness Falls

Darkness falls -
O Lord, be thou my light!
As the storm draws near
Keep me within thy sight.

Be Thou my strength,
Hold up my wavering hand
As the flood grows deep
Across this trembling land.

May thy cross be
A beacon bright as day
To guide my feet
When darkness hides the way.

Thy Mercy is
My only refuge place,
There is no hope
Without thy loving grace.

As midnight falls
With sword and cry and grief,
Only with you
Will my soul find relief.

Romans 8:38-39

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
