    Heavenly Father, When storms of life toss us about, 

    like a bobbing cork in the sea, and a raging billows hide

    any hint of welcoming shelter, We take heart at being securely

    planted in the hollow of your hand. When illness or treatments

    bring discouraging dark clouds or feeling alone with troubles. 

    We will take comfort in the hollow of Your Hand. We feel Your 

    loving arms guiding us through all the side effects and make us 

    weary, You wrap Your steady fingers around ours and hold us

    in the hollow of Your hand. Thank You for Your comforting love

    and peacefulness You give us all, In the hollow of Your hand.

    And when the light at the end of our troubled tunnel and take

    pleasure in sunshiny days, We will still rejoice. Still nestle in the 

     hollow of Your hand. Thank You Lord for taking those that are

    going through a lot of health challenges, We will remember they

    are all in the hollow of You hand.  Amen

    Dear lord, when the times feel dark and scary, shine your love upon us

    When we are scared or in pain, full us with your peace and love

    When we are afraid our needs won't be met, let us have faith that we will always have what we need

    When we are lonely or sad, help us to remember we are never alone

    When we are waiting test results, help us let go of our anxiety and fear and be patient

    When we are uncertain about our future, help us to trust in the present

    In Jesus name we pray, Amen

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    We come together as women of faith, bringing our burdens to You and laying them at the foot of the cross. Please bless Footprintsangel, and help her to get through her medical testing, the anxiety provoking waiting for test results, and should she be lonely in the long hours of the night, may she take solace in Your Holy presence and her loving dog, Grace, and receive Your peace.

    Please bless the prayer of Jazzygirl, as she asks for Your merciful intercession for us in all our distress. These are the scriptures spoken over these requests. May we treasure them in our hearts. They are the Living Word of God.

    In Jesus' name, amen

    Just a Prayer Aways

    If life seems to pass you by

    And the day seems like years

    Remember you have a friend in God

    And He count every tear.

    When things go bad to worse

    And life just isn't fair,

    It's nice to know your have a friend,

    Someone that really cares.

    Sometimes it's hard to understand

    Why our burden is so great,

    Or why we had to be the one

    With a heart that always breaks.

    So when Your sad and lonely

    And you need a friend today,

    Rememver help is very close--

    It's just a prayer away. by Chet Stanhope

    The Lord is my strength and my shield,

    in whom my heart trusted and found help. 

    So my heart rejoices; with  my song I praise

    my God. Psalm 28:7

    Into Your hands I commend my spirit;

    You will redeem me, Lord, Faithful God. Psalm 31:6

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Thank you for the love we receive from You, and Your love that You send by the Holy Spirit through people who are God's vessels of love.

    Thank you for the forgiveness of our sins, because sin separates us from You. It is written that we hide in darkness lest our wrong deeds be made known when we come into the light. Ephesians 5:13 There could be no greater loneliness than to be separated from You.

    Thank you for giving us opportunities to be of service to others while we are still here on Earth. We may not think we are in a position to serve others in our condition. But every small act of kindness abounds in love. A phone call, a word of gratitude, or a note of love and support are all examples of service abiding in love. Thank you for teaching me this.

    Jesus gave us many examples on how to serve.

    In Jesus' name, amen

    Salvation in Jesus

    We can make God happy

    By loving someone dear.

    Happiness comes in God's heart,

    When we keep Jesus near.

    Open your heart to Jesus

    And let Him enter in.

    Jesus is the Lord who saves.

    Salvation is in Him.     Carol Zileski

    or waiting for the results of them. Please wrap Your arms of

    peacefulness around them. Bless all the wonderful people that

    need Your guidance and love to walk with them through weakness

    and challenging times. May they find comfort knowing You are 

    there to carry them. Please be with the people that are going 

    through treatments or surgery, for we know You guide the hands

    that are doing it.  Bless and give Your caring hand to those that

    are afraid to ask for help and need it. We are so grateful to have

    You as Our Father, and all the wonderful things You do for us.

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Some view You as a wrathful God, smiting us with fire and brimstone, a God who created both heaven and hell, with standards so holy that in Romans 3:23, it is written: for all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. The Old Testament, the books and laws of Moses, was the Old Covenant between God and man.

    Some loathe You with such contempt that they deny Your existence. They say they don't believe in anything, yet they hate the nothingness they believe in with a vengeance. They admire Your creation, yet deny a Creator. They study the design of the galaxies, but deny a Designer. The further they delve into science, and discover microcosmic and macrocosmic universes, and the physics and scientific laws that govern all, the more they deny a Lawmaker. Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

    Yes, Heavenly Father, Your eternal heaven is holy, indeed, so holy that sin may not enter it. But because You are so holy and so is heaven, and the standards You upheld we could not meet with our sinful natures, You made a new covenant with us to save us from damnation.

    image

    Jesus Christ is the New Covenant. When we believe in Him, and make Him our Lord and Savior, we are declared free and forgiven, and we are promised eternal life. Thank you, my Lord Jesus, You are my only hope, and You are my deepest love.

    God already blessed me ;

    He blessed me today,

    In many wondrous 

    And kind, loving ways.

    He blessed  with the birds

    Their melodious song.

    Sent  rainbow from Heaven,

    Gave right to what's wrong.

    He blessed me subshine,

    He blessed me with rain,

    Gave me courage, endurance

    To conquer pain.

    With our Father above,

    And all of His blessing

    He giveth with love.  by Katherine Matheney

    There are time's when I am happy,

    And sometimes feeling blue.

    But whenever I feel down, my Lord

    I know I can depend on You.

    You lift me when I am down

    And fill my heart with love.

    Smiling down on me, and saying

    " Here I am my Child. From You throne

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    You know every cell in our body. In Your word, You tell us that even the hairs upon our head are counted. Luke 12:17. You know every devious trick of the enemy cells that try to kill us. We are embattled against this enemy, but You cause us to be victorious. Please guide our doctors to give us the best treatments suitable for our individual diseases.

    May You enable us widespread access to the treatment utilizing Your creation of our own immune cells: immunotherapy. Thank You for completely curing end stage patients with this treatment, including former President Carter, who continues to serve You at His church teaching Sunday School. Out of our mouths, we will speak goodness, hope, and victory over our bodies through our faith in You, Lord. In Jesus' name, amen

    Little Act of Kindness

    Little act of kindness may

    Chase somebody's blues away.

    A smile, a look, a fond "hello"

    Is a gift you can bestow.

    When a soul is in distress

    And they send an SOS,

    A smile can go a long, long way

    When a life has gone astray.

    Don't be afraid to say, "hello"

    Or help someone that's feeling low,

    For smiles will lift a spirit up

    And happiness will fill his  cup.

    Little act of kindness bring

    A happiness awakening,

    So with a smile and friendly nod,

    Give the gift that comes from God.

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4

    You are the Good Shepherd.


    image

    Thank you for guiding me to this scripture today. Lord, thank you for guiding me to the credible near death experience of a young lady by the name of Angelica in Equador yesterday. Lord, I feel humbled and blessed that You have shown me this scripture, because she said while she was in Your presence in Heaven, Jesus, that You told her, ,"This is where my people go in and go out and find pasture."

    Lord, may our souls trust in Your promise of eternal salvation, when we believe in You, Jesus, as our Lord and Savior, repent of our sins, and walk in Your ways.

    Lord, please comfort and reassure us as we go through great tribulations that You are with us. We seek Your love, comfort, and peace. We know that our tribulations are here on Earth, and when we take our last breath here and our next breath in Heaven as Your followers, there will be no more tears and no more suffering. Blessed be Your Name.

    Amen

    Still Waters

    Somewhere are tranquip waters

    That we all seek to find,

    To leave behind our sorrows

    And capture peace of mind.

    I find mine in the country

    Where small wildflowers grow,

    Where your eyes can follow birds in flight,

    Not knowing where they go.

    Where fields are wet with morning dew

    And color fills the sky.

    My Jesus waits on dusty roads

    Where I'll be passing by.

    Perhaps you seek  still waters

    To help you on your way.

    You needn't be where I find mind--

    Stay where you are and pray.  By Edna Fonaine

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Thank you for Your love, for You use hardship to refine us like silver to serve You. In our pain and anguish, Your gaze is not indifferent, but filled with compassion and loving kindness. You forgive our wrongdoings and accept our repentance. Help us to forgive others, so that You will forgive us. Mark 11:26. You heal us, renewing our strength, and we come out of our trials closer to You, with hearts more compassionate to the suffering of others.

    Please heal us, renew our strength, and give us grace and patience as we wait upon You. Please be with JunieB as she is recovering in a hospital. Calm her fears and give her Your abiding peace. May she be healed through You as You bless her treatment.

    In Jesus' name, amen

    I wait for You

    I wait for you in the cool of morn

    When the dawn breaks day anew.

    Our talks of family and friends

    Are all too short and few.

    I wait for you at midday

    When you sit to eat a meal.

    I hear your words of thanksgiving;

    Listening for you to pray.

    I wait for you to speak with Me

    About the happenings of the day.

    Each time you whisper words of love

    Was the happiest that I had been.

    I'll wait for you throughout the night

    Until you speak with Me again.
