Prayer List

This morning when praying, I determined to start a prayer list on my blog. Maybe others will lift up these items as well for God's amazing power and love to pour forth.

Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus... I Thessalonians 5:16-18

Lord, I lift these items to you with praise, oh God above all gods. Although I do not include names, I pray that you would look in our hearts and know the individual that we lift anonymously to your thrown of grace...

1. Thanks to Him for his mercies and grace.
2. Thanks for Jesus -- a friend above all friends -- giving His life for me to have life.
   
3. Thanks for family and friends. For love that shows at just the right time.
4. Protection of new life that enters the world through birth. Keep Mom and Baby safe -- that Dad and big brother would be supportive and strong as needed.
5. Guidance as life-changing decisions are made. Bless a couple that has waited a long time to have a second part in the couple. Give them wisdom and confidence as they blend their lives together.
6. Healing for mental and physical bodies.
   
7. As we age, help us still to look to you for how you can use hands and feet in ministry to others and for your work.
   
8. Healing for abuse from long ago and protection from those who harmed and now go free.
9. Strength to be a good wife -- submissive, encouraging, loving, and following your ways -- even when that path is not easy.
10. Pouring of Your Spirit during court proceedings -- that hurts would not result in inappropriate words or actions in the courtroom. May the judgment / settlement be what is best for all parties, enough to pay the bills from injury and further treatment.
    

Specifically I lift up Marshall, Paul, Sarah, Kevin, Eli, Susie, Dave, Barbara, Kim, Lori, REB, Ann, and Lois.

Help us to come before You with thanksgiving and praise, honor and reference, love and commitment. May I me a light for You, today...
