Day 29

Today I’d like to ask for your help. I’m going to do this the old-fashioned prayer petition style. Please pray with me:

God, please be with my sister and her family right now as they paddle through the whitecaps of another culture. Please offer guidance in a country where many do not call for your help. Please help them communicated and get through this difficult journey.

God, please bless my friend and her unborn Triploidy baby with Spina Bifida. She needs you so much in this difficult decision making time in her life. Please help her and be with her in this time of need.

God, please bless my daughter and keep her safe tonight in her new bunk bed in her own room. Now I lay her down to sleep I pray the Lord her soul to keep, and angels watch her through the night, and keep her in their blessed sight. Amen

Lord, please guide my dad in the right direction and steer him toward the missing piece that is holding him back from something. Because I am so much like him I know when something is off and I sense he is unfulfilled with himself. Also, please help keep his blood pressure low and heart strong so he can carry on this journey.

Although her lungs and heart may not be the strongest, she has done laps around everyone in the selfless department of constant caring. Please let my mother be around for years to come as I would be blessed to have my daughter even become a fraction like her and her father.

God, please continue to keep my eldest sisters family in good hands and keep them safe and happy.

Please be with my friend and her dad during his battle with lung cancer.

God, please help comfort Farmer’s wife and family and be with his spouse during these grieving times. Please guide her in the direction of peace and understanding.

Please give me strength to stay sober and help me continue in your direction.

AMEN

Lord first of all I would like to thank you for guiding 'survivor' in this path of finding herself. For helping 'survivor' get to where she is now. Through you 'survivor' is able to reach out to us. Through you all of us who want to be on the path of 'survival' we are all able to reach out and touch each other. Just like it was the right time for 'survivor' to give up her demon, we all pray that you stick with all of us to see us as well through our troubled waters. Amen.

Praying with you from Tokyo. Pleasantly surprised at our new surroundings but feel a bit more hidden/anonymous in this crazy metropolis. "Still I find you there" is what I keep hearing when I look toward the moon off my balcony tonight. Ah, I love you Lord.

Please help her to understand that this is her blog for her needs, for her health, for her future. Stay focused on the vision of health and happiness; worry not about the others. Okay....it's her blog and she can do whatever she wants. Amen, and again I say Amen.

And Dear Lord please put your arms around this dear girl writting her blog with her heart pouring out to us all. Remind her always to keep strong and reach to you at all times in thanksgiving and in looking for support. Stand by her side and keep her strong. AMEN
