    Heavenly Father, we thank you for your Earth Angel Debbie.  We know she is in terrible pain and yet she remains Your beacon of light.  She reminds us daily of what a loving Father you are and that we can take comfort in Your Love.  We love her and ask that You protect her and ease her pain, Father, for she will bring many of those back to You who have lost their way.  We pray for all of Your brave women out there that fight this horrible disease everyday with dignity and grace.  We thank all our BCO sisters for their examples of Christian love.  We say this humbly in the name of Thy Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

    Lord, please give comfort to the families of those four police officers who lost their lives in a senseless murder.  We are thankfull for all of the police officers who protect us and lay their lives on the line for us everyday.  We ask for comfort for the men and women in war zones and the families of these brave soldiers.  Please keep them safe and allow them to go home to their loved one.  In the name of Jesus.  Amen.

    Jo - thank you for the reference - it is very helpful.  I need to surround myself with the faithful until it becomes second nature to me to also be faithful ALL the time.

    Bless everyone.

    God is so good to us and we need to praise him more. He has joined us here to lift one another up in prayer. Many have needs and our dear Debbie is a loving sister to us all. May she feel our love and encouragement. She is putting others first even when she is in pain. My grand Jordan broke her wrist last week . They put a temporary cast on it till swelling went down. She saw the dr yesterday and due to all the swelling the first xray did not show how bad it is. She broke both bones at the wrist. But she is not whining or complaining. She said grandma I got a red cast and you see a lil white on it so I look like a candy cane. LOL  I was started on steroids for my cough and it helped a lil first few days. Still on med for a few more days. I am refusing to bow to this. Lets all fight on in this battle. God bless all my sisters and our families.....

    O Lord, The most wonderful thing in the world is knowing

    You, Lord,our Savior and our Friend. The bible says a true

    friend stays nearer then a brother. You are that kind of

    friend to us. Thank You for being with us day and night.

    You entered our hearts and set up housekeeping. You

    tell us the truth even when we don't like to hear it. Your

    patiently  counsel us in the right ways. You never cause

    us to stray Lord, for You do not tempt. You provide zeal

    for our life and help us keep a positive outlook. We discover

    morsels of wisdom from Your words. When we are weary,

    You wrap Your arms around us and give us rest. You nourish

    and restore our souls. When we go through deep waters, You

    wade ahead and hold on to us with Your strong, firm hand.

    Whether we are on a mountain or in the valleys of our lifes,

    You listen to our every word and care. You are more then our

    Friend. You are a Lover of our souls. Let our souls entwine as

    one, Lord. Come what may, help us yield and trust in You. We

    cling to Your counsel and follow You. At day's end, We will rest

    securely in Your safe keeping. For You are our treasured Friend.

    Lord, Be with; Genia, Jo, Patoo, armywifenmommy,mmm5, Mary,

    kbugmom, Deborye,Patty, seaotter,sue_blue, Spar,Selya,ivorymom

    kmccraw423 and all the other loving sister here. We love You Lord

    Oh Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, please bless Thy daughters especially those struggling with this terrible plague upon women.  We pray that Thou might comfort them, ease their pain, reduce the side effects of their treatment and bless them for their service to you, oh Lord.  Your daughters around the world serve you Lord.  Bless them with strength to continue their fight, courage to go on in the face of great pain and hardships, and love and support from all their families and friends.  We are so very grateful for all the blessings You have bestowed upon us and pray that we will continue to strive to be of service to You Lord, to show our love for all Your children and stay steadfast in our devotion to You so that one day we may return to Your loving arms.  Amen.

    Heavenly Father, you know our every need from the smallest sparrow to us sinful humans.  Please forgive those sins.  Know we love you and we know you are there to help us.  We may not see the big picture or understand why certain things happen but you do Lord and I am putting all my faith in you.  Please help and protect all of the men and women serving in the armed forces.  My stepdaughter just joined the navy after spending years in the army.  Please keep her safe.  Give all the troops all that they need and protection. Be with all my sisters here and meet their every need Lord.  You are an awesome God, thank you so much.  In Jesus name Amen

    We praise You for the way You took our life's of turmoil and

    strife and help us threw it. You call us all by name, and we

    follow You.  You are our Helper and we can lean on You.

    How we honor You, O Prince of Peace for listening to our

    prayers we constantly lift to You, We don't always have the

    answers right away. Test and challenges don't dictate Your

    plans for future. You are in charge. When we bring our concerns

    to You, O Prince of Peace, You never fail us. You are the Way,

    the Truth, and the Light, Thank You for helping us keep trusting

    in You as we win our fights with cancer and all the surgery, chemo,

    and tests. Please watch over and comfort, Genia, Jo, Patoo, kbugmom,

    O Lord, When we read the book of Genesis about the

    way Joseph's brothers threw him into a deadly pit, We

    thought how frightened he must have been. We are

    thankful for You helping him and giving him courage.

    Although Joseph was pulled from the pit, it didn't

    solve his problems. You helped him and guided him

    during the following difficult years. Thank You for being

    with him and for his faithfulness to You. No one had the

    power to break Joseph. During his years in bondage, You

    gave him countless blessings. When he was falsely accused,

    You gave him honor. You helped him step over the stones

    of cruelty and stand firmly on foundation of compassion and

    love. When we are in the pit of despair, Lord, we felt like we

    were being buried under trials.  Like huge rocks, our troubles

    piles up around us. Hurt and hopelessness were breaking our

    hearts. The only way we could see was up, When we looked

    up. You were there. We praise You for showing us how to take

    those terrible boulders and change them into stepping-stones

    toward victory. Each time we take a step, We could sense

    Your holding our hand, steadying us, and giving us courage.

    Thank You, Lord, for providing us stepping stones of courage

    so we can experience numerous victories in You! Be with and

    comfort these wonderful sisters; Genia Jo, Patoo, Jane, Mary,

    Spar, Seyla, armywifenmommy,kbugmom, kmccraw423,Patty,

    mmm5, seaotter,sue_blue, Deborye, Suzanne, ivorymom and

    everyone else here in need of Your peace, as the go threw many

    different things, to be Your winners. Thank You for all You have

    done for us, and we give our trials  to You, As we look for You

     in our heart each day. In Your Wonderful name we pray. Amen
