    O God, Please take my weary soul, transform it, and

    renew a right spirit within me. Take my pain and tiredness

    and turn them into pleasure and joy. Remind me with the

    wisdom of Your word, and revive me with the energy of

    Your love. You are the reason in this world. Thank You

    for Your cool water on my parched soul. I love You Lord, Amen. Thank you Patoo for the book

    For my birthday. God bless you all. Debbie

    Lord, we know you never meant for us to endure our challenges alone.  We must stand firm when life takes us by surprise.  It is important to know what we are facing but it is more important to know who is in control of all things.  My Father, I thank you that you show yourself to us in big things and in small things so that we might be able to release our cares into your loving embrace.  I ask your continued blessings for Debbie, JO, Spar, EWB, Kbugmom, Genia, and so many others who have put their faith in you.  Please dear Jesus relieve their pain, their fears and perform miraculous acts in their physical and spiritual realms. 

    I ask these things in the name above all names, my precious Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.

    Amen.

    nor give you up, nor leave you without support."

    Dear Heavenly Father, I know you have told us to not worry. I struggle with this alot. Waiting for my scan report is what it will be. I am nervous and have doubts creeping in. Forgive me Lord for not waiting on you to give me the desires of my heart. I love you Lord and know you only give good gifts. Bless all who are in need Father. I praise your Holy name.  Amen

    Sweet Susan, you are in my thoughts and prayers while you wait for those results. Waiting can be so challenging. Know that you are never alone- God is always there for you and we are here for you to help and hold you when you stumble.

    Hugs and prayers

    Dear Susan,

    'In His love...He bore them and carried them all the days of old' - Isaiah 63:9

    We serve an awesome God.  The ultimate source for meeting all need is God and He uses a variety of methods and instruments to meet our needs.  He has put us all here to love and support one another.

    I prayed for you today, gave thanks for

    your life, wished you the best, asked the

    heavens to bless you with good health and

    happiness. I sent you good thoughts,

    I asked your guardian angels to protect you

    and keep you safe from any harm and to

    blanket you with joy and contentment and

    peace and prosperity.

    I prayed for you today. I asked that you

    be guided with the wisdom to make choices

    to enhance your life and awareness to

    make changes that are in best interest.

    I wished for you a storehouse of opportunities,

    the ability to meet your goals, and the joys of

    your own approval and acceptance. I wished

    for you your heart's desire, every care met,

    every pray answered, and every dream come true.

    I prayed for you today. I asked that you

    be prepared for whatever life hands you or

    whatever you're going through. I asked that

    your spirit be strong and lead you and guide

    you each step of the way down every path

    you take. I asked the universe to confirm for

    you that you are someone very special. I asked

    the earth to be good to you, and I asked God

    to show you His perfect way. I prayed for you today

    Father in heaven, Heal me, I pray. Not because it is my best interest,

    but because it is Your nature to do so. For You alone are the Great

    Physician. Grant me the grace to remain faithful in the face of pain

    and suffering, nausea and concern. Thank you for all my friends and

    sisters, that show so much love and kindness here. Bless my Drs and

    all  helping me at this difficult time in my life and walk with Jo, Patoo, Spar,

    and Susan,EWB, Genia, Mom, And all the other here, In Your name. Amen

    You have a reasons to be sad,to be angry,and to complain.

    But you also have a reason to use this time in your life to let

    your light shine! Let God love radiate from you. Leave people

    thinking, If I am ever in a difficult situation, I want to be just

    like this person. My, what a wonderful faith! Like Jeremiah, be

    remembered for your praises and not for your laments. Let the

    words of Jesus guide your spirit during these challenging days:

    You are the light of the world.  A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

    Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead

    they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

    In the same way, let your light shine before men, That they may

    see your good deeds and praise Your Father in heaven. Matthew 5: 14-16

    Dear Lord,  We come before you with gratefulness to know you are

    always with us. Sometimes as we are fighting the cancer and side

    effects, we forget You are right beside us,  Heal our withered attitude

    and feel us with hope as well as desire to meet You in the midst of

    our pain and worry. Please watch over all our friends here, And help

    ease their pain. We are very thankful for Your love and all You have done

    for us. Amen

    There is no such thing as hopelessness. But it can

    feel like everything is hopeless when you are suffering.

    Your soul is screaming and your heart is heavy, The pain

    can be unbearable.

    Let me repeat that no situation is hopeless once you

    invite the Lord to help. He is weeping for you, and He

    wants to comfort you. Turn to Him, rely on Him. He is

    the one certainty in whom you can believe. When the

    suffering becomes unbearable, Let God bear the load.

    He is the God of reconciliation and healing, He will

    heal your  soul.

    "All the days ordained for me were written in your book before even one came to pass" Psalm 139:16. 

    That verse brought me much strength and encouragement throughout my treatment as it told me I was right where the Lord knew I would be EVEN before I was ever born. 

    He is God...He is in control AND He loves us incredibly.

    Sending prayers for peace for all my sisters.....

    You fill us with Your purpose and trust, That You will help us to remember

    You hold the compass and  Your Word is our map. Help us to find the peace

    and comfort, As we travel this life here on earth. You are the Alpha and the

    Omega. We will love You more than we feel the pain.We choose to thrive, not just

    survive. Pain is not the master, You Jesus, are our Master. Please be with all in

    this group that are in need of your extra comfort. We love You Lord, Amen

    " I command you--be strong and courageous! Do not

    be afraid or discouraged, For the Lord your God is

    with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

    In the day when I cried out, You answered me,

    and made me bold with strength in my soul.  Psalm 138:3

    God wants you to be so convinced of His presence

    in your life that even when you can't feel it, sense it,

    or see it, You know He is there and loves You.

    I had learned many years ago to release my

    problems to God, sometimes I had to do often

    in all our political years when I was trying to

    do so many different things at once. "Here it is,

    God. You take it. I can't handle it alone," I would

    say. It helped me through the good times and

    the bad. I knew that God loved me. I had found

    God's love a shield around me in the midst of

    controversy or letdowns.      Rosalynn Carter
