    O Lord, How wonderful You are, my God. How awesome

    it is to come in Your presence. We worship You with

    joyfulness and thanksgiving, for we know You are our Lord,

    our God. You are the creator of everything. You wrapped

    Your fingers around the mountains and formed the highest

    points. You reached down and dipped Your hand into the

    depths of the earth. You scooped out huge cavities and

    filled them with oceans, lakes, and rivers. You skillfully

    shaped the dry ground.  You took the care to plan our

    distinct beings, before we were even formed in our mothers

    womb. With puffs and breaths and thumps to our chests,

    You made us the people we are today. Thank You for

    allowing us to be Your children and for being Our Heavenly

    Father. Who can we compare You to, Our God? There is no

    other so great. You are all-knowing, forever loving. Your mercy

    to endure us forever, Even beyond our earthly lives, Your

    indisputable love shall last throughout future generations.

    Forever, You shall be exalted among the nations Forever You

    shall be exalted over the earth. We come to You and bow

    down, As we bring our special friends to You, Be with and bless

    Genia Jo, mmm5, ivorymom, armywifenmommy, Spar,seaotter

    sue_blue, Makraz, Deborye, Patty, Mary, Jane, Patoo, and alot

    of other very special sisters here in need of comfort ands peace

    as they each go threw so many things. Please bless them and

    keep their faith strong. You are our Lord, our Maker. You Lord

    are the true God. There is no other who compares with You.

    We thank You for all You have given us. In Jesus name we

    pray. Amen

    Dear praying sisters.

    Our SIL Scott is the process of departing for Iraq as I type. My DD Sarah dropped him off at his AFB late this afternoon. He is to be deployed there Iraq/Afghanistan for the next 3 months as part of the Ohio Air Guard. I would be so grateful if you would keep both of them in your prayers over the weeks ahead.

    Many thanks.

    Dear Lord, Over and over we give You our pains and shortcomings.

    Each time we do, Father, You show us the answer in Your Word

    of healing and assurance, of love and protection. We find ourselves

    often turning to Ephesians where it tells about Your spiritual armor

    and the way it helps us. First we read about Your breastplate of

    righteousness. We recall how the breastplate used by the soldiers

    in Bible times was made of overlaid pieces, which didn't allow even

    the smallest weapon to penetrate. It protected the hearts of the

    soldiers. In the same way, We discover how Your breastplate of

    righteousness protects our hearts from the harmful evil one.  We

    know we have to keep listening to Your guidance and make sure

    we allow no careless cracks to form. We must stay close to You

    in order to get through the spiritual and emotional battles we face.

    We most trust You to fight them on our behalf. Somehow, step-by-

    step You help us realize we don't need to struggle with wrong. You

    are doing that for us. Your righteous Spirit cleanses and heals our

    hurts and eases our minds.  Thank You Father, for how You are the

    guardian of our hearts, keeping us safe in Your care. God please bless

    our sisters here; Genia, Patoo, Jo, Spar, mmm5,Mary, armywifenmommy

    kmcrraw423,kbugmom, seaotter, sue_blue, ivorymom, Deborye, Selya

    Jane, Makraz, And others wonderful sisters here, in need of Your comfort

    and gentle love. We thank You watching over Our Soldier overseas, please

    comfort and keep them safe. In this we pray, In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

    Dear Lord, Please be with and guide Scott, As

    he goes to help others in Iraq/Afghanistan. Please

    help him to be safe from harm and help his other

    soldiers, So they can all come home and enjoy

    their families. I give him to You Lord,  I say this in

    the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

    Lord, I also lift up Faith... to you; that you will give her peace beyond all understanding.  She is your precious daughter who believes in your grace and mercy.  She knows that you will not leave us; that you are there walking before us and she is following that narrow path.  Help her to see your light and feel your spirit within.

    In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

    I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within

    me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:

    Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,

    for His compassion's never fail. They are new every

    morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself,"The

    Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him." Lamentation 3:20-24

    Dear Lord, Please comfort and be with Faith as she deals with

    a very special person going overseas. Please be with her and her

    son. Help him to walk with you and be safe as he helps others

    like Faith helps us. This is a very special family that Faith has.

    Please stay with them through it all. There will be a special

    smile and prayer of thanks when he comes be home safe.

    In Your precious name I pray. Amen

    O Lord, We know not what the future holds, dear Lord,

    but were sure You hold the key. We are glad You are

    the One who cares for our days ahead. If they were in

    our hands, We would probably make a mess of things.

    How wonderful it is that You are all-knowing. Your

    insight and wisdom surpass everything else. Thank

    You for unlocking the door to each day as it comes

    our way. We take great comfort and joy in how You

    step through the doors before us. Then You guide us

    through. We don't have the foresight to make decisions

    without Your counsel. You give us more security with

    each step we take. When things become a fog and we

    grope in a mist of confusion. We feel Your sure hand

    taking hold of ours and leading us. You know our wants

    and needs. You understand our greatest concerns.

    Patiently, You unlock the door to faith and help us trust

    You. Thank You, Lord, for holding the answers to the un-

    known. As we walk this road of life. We look back and

    understand a little how You have fit things together for

    our good. Our past, Our present, and our future, We place

    in Your capable hands with our friends in need; Genia, Jo,

    Patoo,sue_blue, armywifenmommy, kbugmom, kmcrraw432,

    seaotter, Spar, mmm5, Mary, Jane, ivorymom, Deborye,

    Makraz,Selya, Paula, and other wonderful people here. We

    thank You for being with us through each trial we go through.

    You are our Friend, Father, Creator, and much more. We love

    You and thank You for all You have given us. In Your name we

    pray. Amen

    God, I offer myself to Thee - to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt.  Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will.  Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always!  (AA P63)

    Bless all of you for the prayers you send out for others.  I am so thankful for each of you.

    There is a young lady (19) named Andi who was in a terrible accident on Dec. 29th.  She has damage to her brain.  Things are not looking so good for her.  We need zillions of prayers going out for Andi so I knew right where to come, to the prayer warriors.

    Also an update on my sons friend, Jordan, who had the 4-wheeler wreck last summer.  He is home and we visited his family during Christmas.  After the visit I was depressed for 2 days. This 20 yr old young man is imprisoned in his own body.  The part of his brain that controls his body is damaged.  He does not speak or do anything for himself.  He responded that he knew me by blinking his eyes.  My heart is hurting for his family.  I believe in miracles and I am praying for one.  I know God can heal Jordan's brain.  So please join me in praying for these 2 young people.  Thank you so much for being messengers for God.

    to each of you, have a healthy, happy, and blessed 2010.....

    Love to you

    Linda

    So sad about Andi and Jordan and I send up fervent, intercessory prayers for both of them that our Lord will touch them with healing grace and give their families the strength to withstand this. 

    I also lift up all my sisters who are still dealing with various procedures that God will provide the power they all need to persevere.

    Happy New Year everyone.  Let's pray for miracles in 2010.
