I used to be sort of selfish I guess with my prayers. The past few months I have widened my prayers Worldwide with all I know is going on. It’s hard because in a class of mine they ask for any prayer requests at beginning of class (I go to a Christian college) and I want to say so much, but don’t think I can.

@General Peaches @Maga gal is right. Just from your heart. You're talking to your best friend who knows you better than you do so you can't mess up. I forget names but He knows all names. I have a fear when I pray but it is a good kind and I have been a believer in Jesus since 1988. Actually I have learned to talk to Him all thru the day when I am not talking to others. One day at a time.

Thanks, Extreme Dad! 🙂

@Maga gal, of course you can! give it a try! I’m sure everyone in your class is just as reluctant but their hearts of full of things they’d like to express.

@General Peaches I used to imagine myself crawling onto my daddy's lap when I first started reading the Bible as an adult. He would show me things, words would just pop out at me. He knows your heart and wants more than anything to talk with you. @Maga gal Perhaps you can pray about eyes being opened, sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, discernment, wisdom, protection., maybe key words that won't be too alarming. See if you can include Exodus 34:19 from the KJV .The word "matrix" is used instead of womb. That might startle them just enough to get them paying attention. Being on here has helped me to find my voice and be a little braver one little step at a time. You can do this!

@General Peaches I’ve been saying the same thing to myself. Some are aware of human trafficking (big problem in our state). Maybe I’ll start there.

@lmbd I know I have to try. Good advice! I will do Wednesday night!

Take a look in the mirror
Tell me, what do you see
Are you the one you aspired to
Or are you just like me

Where did the time go
Way to fast for me
Yesterday seems so close
Alas, it's not to be

Does my life mean anything
Is there a purpose I must fill
I put my faith unto the Lord
I know he's with me still

Proclaim the news, God is not dead
He is there among the pews
He is begging us to see the Truth
Passed on by the Jews

Seek the Truth and you shall find
The travels that you've made
Were all a preparation
For in His likeness you were made

Let not your hearts be troubled
Fear not what you don't understand
Keep the Lord in your heart
In Him... you make your stand

The best that we can do now
Is come together as one
The world is so confusing
Let God's will be done

Treat each other with kindness
Look out for those in need
By practicing the Golden Rule
It is not words... but deeds

So enjoy the good things in this life
It is not for you to know
Keep your faith and try to do good
While the winds of change doth blow

Lay your head down in His grace
Try not to understand
The things in this life are fleeting
There is a Master Plan

Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit, bring us into union with you. Guide us into your truth. Direct our steps, our thoughts, our words so that we are following your path. Ensure that your love is the basis for everything we do so that even when we make mistakes, the seed of what we do is Yours and yours alone. Cleanse our hearts, burn away anger and unforgiveness, let only Your purity of spirit and love remain in our hearts. Put your words in our hearts, on our lips and in our prayers so that we are saying, and praying Your Will here on earth, just as it has been declared in heaven. Remove the blinders from peoples' eyes so that they can clearly see Your Hand in all that happens. Remove the hardness from their hearts so they can deeply feel Your purifying Love. Remove the fear and confusion from Your people, for you have chosen us for such a time as this. We are your remnant, we are your beloved. Bring our spirit into communion with Your Holy Spirit. Fill us with your holy fire, to seek You, to worship You, to praise You and to thank You with all our whole being. In Jesus' name we pray.

I Hope this isn't inappropriate for this room. It has been a very long evening. Our nephew along with another person were shot at work at UAB Hospital in Birmingham, AL. The shooter then shot himself. Unfortunately, the other victim died of their wounds. My request is for prayers for Tim, he received three gunshots to the chest. He made it through the first surgery, is stable and in ICU. There may be more surgery tonight depending on how he does. For those so inclined, please pray. If this request isn't allowed please feel free to delete. Thank you all.

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
1 Timothy 6:9

perdition

n.
Loss of the soul; eternal damnation.
n.
Hell: "Him the Almighty Power/Hurl'd headlong . . . /To bottomless perdition, there to dwell” ( John Milton).
n.
Archaic Utter ruin.

✝ Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong...~ St. Paul, 2 Corinthians 12

@oldpatriot Just saw this. Praying for Tim now

Thank you for those reminders @Sweet Tea ❤

@oldpatriot Oh, no! Prayers to Tim, you and your family! May God guide the surgeons and those who are caring for your nephew. Please update us when possible.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honour him. Psa 91v15

@modsquad The news is much better today. He is in ICU, has gone through a second surgery. Tim is young, healthy and is still hanging in there. He was attempting to protect the female nurse that passed away. Thank you all for your prayers, I will update occasionally as he progresses.

Praying for Tim and for you! @oldpatriot 🙏🏼

@oldpatriot Praying for your nephew and all families connected.

but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31

" I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

O God, who have prepared fitting helps for us in our weakness, grant we pray, that we may receive their healing effects with joy and reflect them in a holy way of life. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen

God is good all the time. Tim is a miracle of God. Two days after being shot in the chest 3 times, having damage to lung, kidney and liver, he is awake and talking some. He is able to say "I love you" and "thank God". Our great and merciful God is healing him at a tremendous rate. Given the uncertainty of the hours after the shooting, we consider this a miracle in the making! All glory to God! Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. God put together an amazing medical team for this precious young man.
