    Father I want to lift up Leslie and her mother right now, I pray Lord that you look after both of them, give them both the comfort of your love.  I give thanks Lord, for all of the love you have shown me, especially on this site, and I thank you for footprints encouragement, as well as all the many others.  I pray that JO's arm is doing better, and that you encourage her today as well Lord.  Father I need you, I need your strength right now.  To be honest, I need to be carried.  I am barely even crawling and I am afraid Lord, afraid of my own deamons.  I pray for forgiveness, and I just thank you so much for all you have done.  Lord I ask that you look over my family.  You know what it is they need, and it's killing me inside not being able to help them.  Again, I'm sorry Father, I love you, and I thank you, SO much for all of your glorious work.  In your sons Holy Name, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

    Hello ladies, I have been reading these posts and have to say how amazed I am how you can put together such beautiful prayers.  My prayers have always been more "talking" to my Lord but I'm always in awe of friends of mine who can create a wonderful prayer just like that.  You all are awesome.

    Jo, you are so right, it is a gift and one I am grateful that these ladies are willing to share. So often I come to read these and find that some one has put into words the feelings or emotions  I have been feeling.

    Leslie- I wanted to tell you that it was a lovely little prayer you posted, so sweet and full of good things.

    Don't worry about anything; instead

    pray about everything; tell God your

    needs and don't forget to thank Him for

    answers, If you do this you will experience

    God's peace, which is far more wonderful

    than the human mind can understand. his

    peace will keep your thoughts and your

    hearts quiet and rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4: 6-7 TLB

    Believe in Angels

    There's an angel

    always by your side.

    Whether male or female,

    it's there to be your guide.

    It rejoices with each sunrise,

    the beginning of each day,

    knowing that you're safe, indeed,

    for Gods hands you stay.

    And when the evening comes

    and darkness makes its cover,

    your angel settles

       in the coming night

    and above your head it hovers.

    Believe in angel----

    you have your very own.

    because you are God's special child

    and you'll never be alone.

     I know the important thing is that my prays are honest, heart felt but there are times when I wish I had the words and the gift that many of you do. The gift of puting the words together in such a powerful way. Forgive my envy, I am truly thankful for the ability to come here to reads these words, powerful, healing words.

    Father, I lift up my roommate.  She does not understand my life, and she has judged me, and hurt my feelings Lord, and I need to forgive her, but have not found it in my heart to do so.  I have found more meanness and hatered towards her, and she is supposed to be my best friend. I need your strength more than ever Lord, because I am without a doubt falling apart Lord.  I don't know how much farther I can fall, but I don't want to know.  Please Lord, please help me.  Help me to understand and overcome the devil within me.  I pray Lord for all those suffering, that you bring them peace, wrap then in your arms Lord, let them know that you are there.  And Father, for all of those that do not know you, I pray that they come to know your love.  I thank you Lord that I can still come to you, and I pray I can come home to you soon.  Thank you Lord, I love you Father.  I pray this in your sons Holy Name, Jesus Christl Amen.

    Hi, I am 42 and was just recently dx with breast cancer and I must say I truly believe in faith and god.  I agree 100 % with you that "God sends angels to watch over us........and he places them where they need to be on a particular day and time!!!"  I have experienced this many times during my lifetime and faith in God and angels have gotten me through very tough times.  Things were always presented to me when God knew I was ready to handle the next step.  So let's pray and and like the songs says by Train.... "calling all angels".  I love this song and it always makes me smile and sing LOUD with them.  I'm still waiting for my MRI and BRCA results.  It's nerve wrecking but nothing I can do.  It's all in God's hands.  :0)Innocent

    Lord, I hold up my sisters, Butterfly137, Ivorymom, 'foots' to your outstretched arms that you will caress them and let them know that you will not let any enemy rule over them as they belong to you.  We demand satan get behind and turn away from your children.  We are all vulnerable dear Jesus and satan knows to try and strike through our weaknesses.  But, you are our rock and on you we stand.  We claim victory against those forces that try and steal our faith.  It will NOT happen.  Yes, we will have our weak moments but through it we will remember to whom we belong and always turn again to reach for your outstretched hand.  We shall hold tight and we shall be victorious.  YES!  In the precious name of our Lord, Christ Jesus, Amen

    I love it - kinow God; know peace.

    I've been away for about a week and just reading through so many pages of support and prayer really lifted me up.  Thank you my praying sisters just for being you and for your faith in our Lord.  With Him we have everything.  I am so proud of all of you right now.  Welcome to our newcomers. 

    Please everyone come back when you have news and let us know so we can continue to pray and also so we can continue to praise God for answered prayer.

    Blessings

    Okay, well prayers going up for you anyway - just because!  The Lord knows our needs.  So I pray he will "cure" all cancers - how's that.

    weak, I will give you strength. When you are afraid, I shall give

    actions  be pure and pleasing to You.  Thank You for Your comfort and

    Holy Spirit to help my friends. Be with them and help them with there needs.

    Lord help us with our journey see   You someday. Great is Your Power,  Amen
