well, nice to see no one answering - maybe no one has worries?!  I wish.

I've learned that I can come up with an honest prayer & worry for just about anyone.

Today, particulary, a baby born into a difficult circumstance, with no good answers anywhere.  People who aren't capable of responsibility & good decision-making, over-burdened supporters, no end in sight.  But there will be ample love.

My prayer - smooth waters ahead so that what little support & hope there is can be enough for a happy healthy life.

I pray for my friend, Justin, that a loving understanding will complete both sides of the issues.

Be Blessed,

IB

Here is a verse for that.

Romans 15:5 (NKJV) 
    Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,

i posted this on the other thread, but i think that it belongs here, with birthstones prayer...

*The Squirrel offers up a prayer.

God, i pray for the whole foster care system.  PLEASE Do *something* there.  It is great how many people you have given the hearts to help, but the system itself needs your working.  Protect this little boy from what that system can do to him.  give an abundance of forgiveness and understanding to the child in "the system".  May he feel you through the love of those who care for him through his life.  May he know that he is beautifully and wonderfully created in the image of God and accepted no matter what in your arms.  Please guide this boy into homes that will care for and love him, accept him and hold him, awaken his spirit and nourish it.  May the anger and bitterness that is possible be tempered with understanding and love.  Let this little boy know in every part that he is loved and accepted.  by and for your grace, Amen.

Lord.  My Daddy.  It could be said that FG is struggling through "normal" teenager parent stuff, but that isn't true.  Each one of us is unique, and each of our circumstances is unique in one way or another.  I know I struggled through my teen years too, as with many of us, but he is in the midst of that right now.  The emotions and reactions are real and immediate.  Help FG to see inside himself as to why he is reacting the way he is to his parents.  Not just to what they are doing, but to what sort of emotions are being brought up in him.  Help him to find the roots of his reactions, the ways that he himself has fallen and needs your restoring touch.  Help his parents in the same way and if it is possible to, help them do this together as a family.  I know you have created us in community, and it would be awesome to see him and his parents living that out in this time of his life.  To see them struggle through life and difficulties together, supporting and understanding one another.  I know that part of that is on our side too, but do what you can to lead them into that type of relationship.  Help them come to you as a family in love and peace.  and help me and my own little family do the same.  Thanks Dad for your patience with us as we learn to do this, and thanks for the help in doing it.

Greetings!

Hey FG, placing you in the center of God's love (where grace abounds and shows us how to forgive when we are unable to do it in our own strength) in all areas in your life.  And I appreciate others doing the same for me.

Hope, peace, joy, love ...

i pray for my yonger brother, hes 28, hes a drug addict and acholoic , been in jail and arrested so may time, im on burn out mode to help him, I pray God saves him, i dont understand, i brought him to church, in an alter call i have seen him come under Gods power, then he stays clean for a few days and goes back to his ways, 3 weeks ago he overdoced on cocane and almost died, last week he went on a drinking binge and totalled his car. I pray for him daily that before he kills himslef or worse kills an inscoent person that God saves him.

Oh Lord of the worlds, please help me in this great transition in my life into a self-sufficient adult.  Allow me your grace in finding an apprenticeship and place of residence.  If it is your will, it shall be done.

I really need all the help I can get with this :(

I ask for prayer for my friend April who was abused early in life and doesn't have the love and acceptance she should have now. She's an incredible person and deserves so much better. I'd like to ask for prayer that some friends of mine who aren't saved will come to know GOD. I want them to have Heaven so much. I also ask for prayer for myself to be closer to GOD, (I'm closer than I have been in recent months but not as close as I should be) and because of my Chron's disease.

Hi everyone,

Since this is prayer request time I will add mine.

I am having surgery June 5 and all prayers are welcome!!!

            (I am a bit nervous about the surgery)

.......and I will keep everyone with requests in my prayers.

First of FG you're in my prayers as well as everyone else I started a list so I would forget no one.

I need prayer more then anything right now. I pray that somehow I will be able to forgive Aaron for all the lies he has told to me, that I will be able to be the bigger person in this situation and to not give into the temptation of losing my patience and going crazy at him. Also, I pray for him.... as much as I can not stand him I pray that he would come to know God and that the love of God would fill him up so that he would no longer feel the need to be so nasty and to lie to others.

Bless you Puppypaws. You're showing such love and maturity. It's so difficult to turn the other cheek, to show love and sympathy to those who do us wrong. You're showing a very CHRIST-like spirit.

a new prayer now, for a wee baby girl born into love, but little support.  Miracles?  please.  Sounds like we could all use a doozy. (my other post made it sound like she'd been born, but it hadn't quite happened.  All was still, baby safely inside, the storm not yet arrived.)
