Prayer for Others.............

Recently it has come to my attention that I do not pray enough for others. My prayers always seem to be self-serving. I do not believe that this is the way that the Lord intended for us to pray. Therefore, I want to take this time and just say a few prayers for others. I want to pray for the welfare of orphans. That they will not only have their needs met physically, but also emotionally and spiritually. I ask that if anyone reads this and you know how we can all help orphans with not only prayers but in a physical way, please let me know and I will post it here. "Faith without works is dead." Secondly, I want to pray for struggling mothers. Single moms who work hard day in and day out to take care of their families. Pray with me that they might find peace and joy in their hard work. Again, if you know of any physical way would could help single mothers, I would be happy to post it here. All these things I pray in the name of Jesus Christ - Amen

Where have I been............

I have not been keeping up with this blog like I know that I should. Actually its not that I now I should, it is that I want to keep up with it. I like the idea of praying for others, even if I am the only one doing it. There are so many people out there that I feel could use our prayers. I also want to look for ways to move it beyond prayers. I pray that my concern for others with materialize into helping others in a material or physical way. I am going to make an attempt to blog a prayer everyday or maybe every other day. Also, I am going to attempt to help others with more than just prayers. I ask all of the things in the name of Jesus Christ - Amen

Prayer for Japan......

The country of Japan has recently experienced what some specialist are calling "the most horrific tragedy since World War II." Residents were forced to stand by and watch as their lives were simply washed away. By far though the most devastating news, according to CNN.com, is that over 10,000 people are presumed dead, and we can expect that number to rise. Please join me in praying for these people and if you have the means, financially helping these people restore their lives. I cannot even begin to fathom the amount of time it is going to take the people of Japan to rebuild their lives and get back to normal. Pray that God with be with the people of Japan and use the opportunity to minister into the lives of the Japanese people. Also, pray that all Christians around the globe will use this opportunity to share the love and generosity of Jesus Christ. As always we pray these things in the name of Christ - Amen

Pray to God..........

Please take a few moments and read this over. Take the time to absorb every word and truly reflect on what it means to say this prayer. Let God work in your heart and in return cry out to Him in love and repentance.


Matthew 6:9-13 (NIV)

9 “This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.

Prayer for the Weather.......

Here in the Midwest we are preparing to be hit with a brutal winter storm. The weather channel reported that over 100 million people are going to be affected by this storm. I want to prayer for people who are living alone, especially the elderly. If you know someone like this, prayer for them and take a few minutes to check in on them. A knock on the door or a simple phone is all it takes to make sure that they are ok. As always we pray in the name of Jesus Christ - Amen

Just Pray..........

I want to ask everyone just to pray. Lets offer our prays to God and ask Him to work out His will in our lives. In the name of Christ Jesus - Amen

Prayer for Addiction...........

Addiction is a strong word. It is a word that brings visions of back-alley dealing and a man shivering on the street corner. The truth is that addiction affects more people then we could ever imagine. According to the dictionary addiction is:

-the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.

There are so many people in this world who suffer addiction from caffeine to heroin. Take the time with me today to pray for these people and that they might be freed from their addiction. That they might come to freedom through faith in Jesus Christ and that He might free them from their bondage. Addiction does not discriminate and can affect every walk of life. It is in our schools, hospitals, military, churches, families, and everywhere in between. Lets lift our prayers to God and ask him to help all of us overcome the addictions in our lives that hinder a close relationship to Jesus Christ. As always we ask these things in the name of Christ Jesus - Amen
