I will be posting things from time to time, and ask you to feel free to post prayer requests, meditations, prayers, as you feel moved.
Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Never flag in zeal, be aglow with the Spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
Romans 12:9-12
I pray that the church would turn back to God!
Prayer need ping!

I come here often and read and get much enjoyment and knowledge. I dont post very often so I may seem like a stranger. My wife was diagnosed last Tuesday with with a 2 inch tumor in her lung that is probably cancerous. We would sure appreciate any prayers that anyone would be inclined to send up. She says isnt afraid of dying but doesnt really want to leave our girls yet. She is only 49, way to young.
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...
Dear Lord,
Thank You for Jeremy and the energy You give him to run his homeless shelter.
Thank You Lord for giving the blessing of the homeless shelter.
In Jesus' Holy name I pray this prayer of thanks and prayer of hope for this homeless shelter.
Amen.

New Mexico’s Largest Emergency Homeless Shelter

1 877 JOY JUNCTION
Shelter Runs Out of Blankets and Sleeping Bags to Give Homeless
Albuquerque, N.M. Homeless men, women and families continue in droves to call Joy Junction --Albuquerque’s largest emergency homeless shelter -- for a ride to warmth and safety. Joy Junction sheltered and fed 265 homeless men, women and children on Wed night/ Thursday morning; who would have otherwise been forced to contend with chilly temperatures.
For those who for whatever reason do not want a place to stay, Joy Junction van drivers many nights are usually able to offer a sleeping bag or blanket to at least help ward off some of the cold. But not last night. The shelter’s stock of blankets and sleeping bags was totally depleted. Joy Junction Executive Director Jeremy Reynalds said “I am making an urgent appeal to the community to help replenish our stock. This could quite literally mean the difference between someone living and dying.”
Reynalds said blankets can be brought to the shelter’s 4500 Second Street Southwest location or individuals wanting to know more can call Joy Junction at (505) 877-6967.
Many of those staying who did want a place to stay last night at Joy Junction were transported to the shelter by its van service. The Joy Junction van will also be out making rounds tonight, looking to bring cold, homeless and hungry people to a warm place to stay.
For many homeless people, Joy Junction is their only place of refuge. Shelter officials are trying to alert the homeless that by calling 1 800 924- 0569 they can get a ride to safety.
Reynalds said he also encourages citizens who see homeless individuals (or those who appear to be homeless) to access this service. “Just tell our dispatcher where you saw people and we’ll send our van there to see if they’d like a ride to Joy Junction.”
For additional information, please call Jeremy Reynalds at (505) 400-7145 or (505) 877- 6967.
For those in Battle, a hymn in the night:
http://www.truthinhistory.org/vision.htm
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
I am so undone today and in despair. My husband has not been able to get out from under the spell of a very controlling preacher; the guy ran me off by bashing me repeatedly from the pulpit (about attending his and his wife's classes). I am so unwell and so stressed. My husband finally left that church (well after I did) and has followed me to my new one and keeps pulling passive-aggressive things on me to apparently get back at me for finally offering him a divorce if he didn't quit bending over and grabbling his ankles for that horrible man (excuse me but I don't know much better way to describe the relationship between him and that preacher). Oh, there wasn't that kind of physical relationship, but it has been the nearest thing to a "crush" as I can imagine. The guy has apparently been punishing my husband ever since he left there by completely ignoring him. It has apparently been a matter in his mind of him punishing my husband for choosing ME over HIM. I was, for all intents and purposes, given the choice of either getting back into their classes with perfect attendance, or else losing my husband of 42 yrs. (My husband was one of his deacons for four years, gave a lot of time and money to that man.) Please pray for us, I'm afraid I haven't acted very nicely today. I got a bad report from my doctor last week, and this stress is just killing me.
To the tune of Mist Covered Mountains:

O Lord, Jesus the life of me,
O Lord, the comfort and peace of me,
O Lord, let my cry come to thee,
Jesus, O Lord, take me home.
How can I sing of what you mean to me,
Shepherd of love, who went out in search of me,
when I was lost, you picked up and cradled me,
And carried me off in your arms.
O Lord, Jesus the life of me,
O Lord, the comfort and peace of me,
O Lord, let my cry come to thee,
Jesus, O Lord, take me home.
How can I sing of what you have done for me,
Born poor and ignored in Bethlehem's streets for me,
Walked over the land, teaching always to rescue me,
Suffered and died for us all.
O Lord, Jesus the life of me,
O Lord, the comfort and peace of me,
O Lord, let my cry come to thee,
Jesus, O Lord, take me home.
There in the garden, you sweat drops of blood for me,
There at the post, you took many stripes for me,
You let them mock you, and bore all things patiently,
To bring us all safely home.
O Lord, Jesus the life of me,
O Lord, the comfort and peace of me,
O Lord, let my cry come to thee,
Jesus, O Lord, take me home.
You accepted the cross that you knew would set me free,
You bled your bright blood in sacrifice red for me,
You who were God went down unto death for me
Out of love for your own.
O Lord, Jesus the life of me,
O Lord, the comfort and peace of me,
O Lord, let my cry come to thee,
Jesus, O Lord, take me home.
There in your tomb you severed death's chains for me,
The stone rolled away with the brightness of hope for me,
The tomb was deserted for us as you set us free,
Proof there of Heaven's great love.
O Lord, Jesus the life of me,
O Lord, the comfort and peace of me,
O Lord, let my cry come to thee,
Jesus, O Lord, take me home.
KAC! Where are you?
Boxes up to your ears?
Missing you.

Thank you so much. May God bless you.
I am blessed to find this thread! May the Holy Spirit move in a mighty way to meet each and every detail of every need represented here!
Please pray for my Dad who fell yesterday afternoon and broke his right femur. Our prayer is that he will either be miraculously healed, or else that he be able to recover sufficiently so that he can go back home. He has a collapsed lung and has been in a wheelchair for ~5 years, but has been able to be at home with my Mom. Thanks, and God Bless!
what a great idea to put it all together.
I would like to submit a prayer request for my wife. She's pregnant with our 2nd...due date is June 3. I pray for peace, strength and good health for her, as well as understanding, energy and motivation for me to continue to help out with day to day stuff around the house and for moments when the usual pregnancy hormonal swings come to surface. (you all know what I mean) ;) And that we will we exceptional parents to this child as well.
Eternal Dominion
Hoof beats heard from far away Crashing hard into the fray. Conquering ones do ride upon Swords are drawn, now comes the dawn.
See the hordes of hell disperse Their faces twisted and perverse. "We'll fight," they scream "we'll fight and win!" While looking up their fate is grim.
Array of countless horsemen seek The promise made unto the meek. The victory has been foretold, The end comes swiftly, sure and bold.
Avenger Savior, Avenger Strong Who led this righteous warring throng Is crowned the King forever more. The story told long years before.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We have such wonderful prayer "composers" on FR who selflessly share their gifts with us. I am grateful that they take the time to encourage us to look at things from Your point of view. Please bless them in special ways in this New Year.
What a lovely thread! Thanks for posting, Knitting.
Here's sending up a prayer for all those who are experiencing anxiety, distress, and troubled minds, whether stress-related, weather-related, or other.
Finally, I found this thread again! I couldn't think of the title.
A friend of mine asked me to post a prayer request for her friend, LaVerne, in Pennsylvania. It's been a while since she asked and I don't have the details any longer, but the general needs are these.
She had cancer, was treated, and now she has it again (I think my friend said she has breast cancer again and that it has spread to her bones). LaVerne is 50. She has some other afflictions that make it difficult for her to do things, and her family is not able to do much to help her. This is a life-or-death reucrrence of cancer and LaVerne is not strong.
She knows the Lord Jesus as her Savior.
Please pray for her. Thank you.
I have a prayer request. I have had infertility issues for three years and two miscarriages. I just turned 40 and would love to have more children.
Thanks for the prayers.........they are much needed.
Thanks for letting me know about this thread as well.
Bump for later reading & praying.

Please pray for this event. There’s a heavy spiritual confrontation that’s about to take place, to end the forty year cycle of the hippie generation and establish a generation of righteousness. Tens of thousands of kids are praying and fasting for this- they are serious!
