Prayer<P> Lord, I do not understand why You have allowed this trouble to assail me. It was after I began to follow You in obedience that this trouble was manifested in my life. I have exhausted all my possibilities for changing my situation and circumstances and found that I am powerless to change these things. I believe; help me overcome my unbelief. All things are not possible with man, but all things are possible with You I humble myself before You, and You will lift me up.<P> I have a great High Priest Who has gone through the heavens, Jesus Your Son, and I hold firmly to the faith I profess. My High Priest is able to sympathize with my weakness. He was tempted in everyway, just as I am - yet was without sin. I approach Your throne of grace with confidence, so that I may recieve mercy and find grace to help me in my time of need.<P> In the face of discouragement, disappointment, and anger ; I choose to believe that Your Word to Moses is Your Word to me. You are mighty to deliver. Because of Your mighty hand, You will drive out the forces that have set themselves up against me. You are the Lord, Yahweh, the Promise-Keeper; the Almighty One. You appeared to Abraham, to Issac, and to Jacob and established Your covenant with them.<P> Father, I believe that You have heard my groaning, my cries. I will live to see Your promises of deliverance fulfilled in my life. You have not forgotten one word of Your promise ; You are a Covenant-Keeper.<P> It is You Who will bring me out from under the yoke of bondage and free me from being a slave to __________. You have redeemed me with an outstreached arm and with mighty acts of judgement. You have taken me as Your own, and You are my God. You are a Father to me. You have delievered me from the past that has held me in bondage and translated me into the Kingdom of love,peace,joy and righteousness. I will no longer settle for the pain of the past. Where sin abounds, grace does much more abound.<P> Father, what You have promised, I will go and posses, in the name of Jesus. I am willing to take the chance, to take the risk, to get back into the good fight of faith. It is with patient endurance and steady and active persistence that I run the race, the appointed course that is set before me. I rebuke the spirit of fear for I am established in righteousness. Oppression and destruction shall not come near me. Behold, they may gather together and stir up strife, but it is not from You, Father. Whoever stirs up strife against me shall fall and surrender to me. I am more than a conqueror through Him Who loves me.<BR> In His name I pray , amen<P>------------------<BR>Just call me - Deb<BR>------------------------<BR>The only day I can do anything about is today, yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not yet mine.<P>

Thanks Deb. I tried posting earlier to thank you but I think the site was down or slow or something.<P>You know me, read my profile.<P>God Bless. I'm taking a break from reality....<BR>

I rebuke the spirit of fear for I am established in righteousness. Oppression and destruction shall not come near me."<BR>Renews the spirit, makes me feel whole.<BR>Mrs Mush, how bout a little more help....a few more hints for those of us that are challenged!

Thanks Deb -<P>Definitely needed this one tonight....<P>Whack-A-Doodle didn't show up or call - he was supposed to take me to get a TV.<P>Oh well, worst part is that I am going to have to get hold of him because he lent the pump from the cellar to his father to use on their pool and with all the rain we've gotten and are in for - I have to have it back.......I told him this (the big jerk!!!!) and is it here? NO!!!!!<P>Oh Phooey!!! <P>How are you doing? How's Mike's sinus's feeling now? <P>Hugs to both of you,<P>Sheba<P>

Mrs. Mush,<BR> Hmmm, I think I know who you are, your profile doesn't really say much but I have a sneaking suspicsion that you are a good friend. I am so glad you all like these prayers.<P> cl, <BR> This is as close as I could find for hope, <P>Sheba,<BR> Mike is at work, he is still walking around "stewing in his own juices" so to speak. I don't know Sheba, maybe it's time to get the frying pan from Butterfly. , <P>------------------<BR>Just call me - Deb<BR>------------------------<BR>The only day I can do anything about is today, yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not yet mine.<P>

hi all, thanks deb, it is great!! I have it printed and hanging in the master bathroom. That is sort of the designated place in this house for meditations, prayers, reminders! Like the poja and the total honesty committment and the saying from my grandma about the pigs!! <BR>"Don't roll in the mud with the pigs: you both get dirty and the pigs love it."<BR>Mrs Mush, I should remember but need help-I think all this marital work has given me alzhiemer's at the least-mush for brains at the most? Some more clues please. <BR>

Mrs. Mush, should I ask where the trust went...?<P>Deb, thanks again. I copy each and every one of these off, carry them in my purse. I sent this one to my H.<P>Do you have anything on praise and thanksgiving? Even though there is balance in many of these prayers, I feel like all I do is nag God.<P>And how about praying for our enemies? The OP comes to mind...of course I like to pray David's psalms about his enemies. Makes me feel pretty mild mannered.
