    Thank you all for such heartfelt prayers.  God is good all the time.  I just praise him and thank him for every single blessing.  All of you are a big blessing in my life and I thank the good Lord for you all.  I also need to ask, pray, and let it go and just trust also.  JO you just said it so well.

    Genia, I don't know how many times I have read your beginning post but every single time I am touched again.  God bless all of you and have a safe weekend.

    Dear Father, When things of this world crushed in and

    caused us to crumble, You carried us. Father. We look

    for You Lord, It is where our help comes from. You are

    the One how hears us and is helping us right now. You

    promise that everything works for the good when we put

    our trust in You and Your purpose. We come to You in

    hope and faith, believing. You dear Lord, are our comfort

    and shield. Because Your love rests upon us, Our hearts

    rejoices, and we trust completely in You. Help us all to

    receive one piece of information afloat on a river of facts

    into a hopeful future. Please be with and bless all the

    wonderful people on this line. And please Lord listen

    to their secret needs. We love You Lord and thank You

    for all the blessing You give us each day. Amen

    Don"t worry about anything; instead,

    pray about everything; tell God your needs

    and don't forget to thank Him for the

    answers. If you do this you will experience

    God's peace, which is far more wonderful

    than human mind can understand. His

    peace will keep your thoughts and your

    hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in

    Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 TLB

    Savior, I follow on,

    Guided by Thee

    Seeing not yet the hand

    That leadeth me;

     Hushed by my heart and still,

    Fear I no farther ill,

    Only to meet Thy will,

    My will shall be.

    Psalm 148

    Praise ye the Lord, Praise ye the Lord

    from the heavens; praise Him in the heights.

    Praise ye Him, all angels; praise Him, all

    His host.

    Praise ye Him, sun and the moon; all the

    stars of light.

    Praise Him , ye heavens of heavens, and

    ye waters that be above the heavens.

    Let them praise the name of the Lord; for

    He commanded, and they were created.

    He hath also stablished them for ever and

    ever; He hath made a decree which shall

    not pass.

    Praise the Lord from the earth, ye the

    dragons, and all deeps:

    Fire and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy

    wind fulfilling His word:

    Mountains, and all the hills; fruitful trees

    and all cedars:

    Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things

    and flying fowl:

    Kings of the earth, and all the people;

    princes, and all judges of the earth;

    Both young men, and maidens; old

    men, and children:

    Let them praise the name of the Lord;

    for His name alone is excellent; His

    glory is above the earth and heaven.

    He also exalteth the horns of His

    people, the praise of all His saints;

    even the children of Israel, a people

    near unto Him. Praise ye the Lord.

    Thank you dear Lord for the knowledge we have of you.  We know that satan does try and attack those who hold you near and dear and so we continue to uplift one another to encourage all to rest in your loving care.

    I ask you to give JO relief from her pain and to make it only a flare up of her sciatica from her past that is manageable.  We will not call it anything else because we know you have it all under control.  We wish her well on her mini-vacation with DH to the mountains.

    Bless Foots and encourage her to continue in her petitions for herself and others.  Lift her spirits by bringing her faith to the forefront of her being.

    For all my sisters, Lord, I pray you will continue to rain down blessings helping us to keep our focus on the narrow road that leads to the Father. 

    You are an awesome God, Lord Jesus and we praise your very name, we praise you for all you have done, given, are in present and will be in future. 

    Come Jesus, come - your children await.

    Count it all joy when you fall into various trials,

    knowing that the testing of your faith produces

    patience. But let patience have it's perfect work,

    that you may be perfect and complete,

    lacking nothing. James 1:2-4

    The Lord is my light and salvation;

    Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength

    of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1

    Dear Lord,We stand at the door and knock and heard Your

    welcoming voice say, "Come in."  We entered and sat at

    Your feet, There we talked for hours, Time didn't matter. We

    brought up everything weighing our minds. on and on we went,

    Unloading our cares at Your feet. "No matter," You said. " I

    have plenty of room to take them." We continued, We told

    You about our cares and pain, You then loved us more and

    help us see the light. We share our joys and funny things

    that happen. You laughed with us, You cried, too and held 

    us close and dried our tears. You always remind us the door

    is always open ajar for us. Thank You Lord for leaving Your

    door open for pray when we needed You. In Your name. Amen

    Come unto me, all who are weary

    and heavy burdened, and I will

    Give you rest. Take My yoke upon

    you  and learn from me, for I am

    gentle and humble in heart, and

    you will find rest for your souls.

    For My yoke is easy and my bur-

    den is light. Matthew 11;28-30 NIV

    A coworker forwarded this to me just now.  I love it.  For those of you who were blind-sided in the past on some threads it's uplifting:

    From Romans 15:1-7

    We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: 'The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.' For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

    We here are 'with one heart and mouth', glorifying our Father.  So encouraging.
