jennifer,

this was a wonderful idea. It is so calming to pray and ask the Lord to be with us all.

Lord I pray for everyone here who is going through such a difficult time in their lives. I pray for the peace to be able to continue doing wha tI need to do to take care of my family. I especially pray for my husband to turn around and give himself back to you and see the light of your love. I pray for peace for my children and all of the c hildren affected by this horrible thing tearing their famlies apart. In Jesus name Amen ......

Good Morning Lord,

Thank you for this beautiful day. I pray that it will bring new strength to all the people here.

I pray today for my children's safety as they head off to school.

I also would like to pray for my husband. I worry about him not living his life as he should Lord, I pray that you will come into his life and show him that the right path is the one back to his family.

This I ask in your son, Jesus Christ's name.

Amen

Lord, Thankyou for today, and all the blessings that go unnoticed or taken for granted.

Lord, I'd like to pray for Hurtinginokla. She has been thru so much. Thankyou for being there for her, and helping her to get thru each day, one day at a time. Lord, I pray that you will continue to touch her heart and give her strength, as she goes thru this very difficult time. Also, Lord, I ask that you touch the heart of her H. Lead him, Lord, in the direction You think he should be. He is lost, and needs your guidance. Please watch over this family, and take them into Your arms, and comfort them with your sweet love.

I also would like to pray for Cherished. Lord, I ask that you give her the direction that You would have her take. She believes in You, and is waiting patiently for Your answers, concerning her life. Please keep her and her children safe, and open the door to some light of hope in her life. Also, please touch her H, and soften his heart. Only You know the answers to her situation, and what she needs to do. So guide her with Your strength, as You lead her and the children to follow Your will and live out the plan you have in store for her.

Thankyou, Jesus. In Your name I pray, Amen.

Hi Lord !

Today I don't want to complain, I don't want to cry anymore, I'll stand on my feet and say Thanks..

It's been a while since I have been off your roads, only you know the reasons, I gave you my
back since I never really cared and never appreciated all your love in my life, unfortunately
now in the rough times, I do.

Thank you so much because that very day you came into my life and changed what I used to be,
you know better than no one the mistakes I've made in my past and you how I regret it, once more
thanks for giving me the chance to know you and to be sure that even through the darkest path, you
will carry me and protect me...

Thanks for taking control over my problem, thanks for helping me get rid of all the images in my head
that cause a lot of pain, thank you for giving me and my fiance a new chance to start but this time
all by your side.

Thanks for the hope that grows daily in my heart, thanks for all the pictures you put in my head, pictures
of my future wedding, honeymoon, kids, family trips, thanks because I KNOW you will make it happen because
you LOVE ME.

Thanks for bringing me to MB, since I got here I've made myself stronger and just as the song says, you raise me up
for more than I can be, thank you for being always with me and NEVER let me down, for that and for everysingle
litlle details that you take care of,

THANKS

Lord, I'd like to say a prayer for Nkay. She is experiencing alot of pain and confusion. She needs a little light to shine on her and her situation. Lord, please lend her Your hand and provide her with the strength she needs to get thru this. Let her know what Your answers are for her, and give her the courage to follow thru. Lord, I ask that you lift her up to you, and comfort her in Your arms. I know You have a plan for her, so please give her hope for her future. Watch over her and her family, as well as her H. Touch him, too, Lord. He needs the strength of Your stability and wisdom, to make the right decisions. I bring these requests to you, in Your name, Jesus, Amen.

Lord, I also pray for Sickofthis1961. Please hear her prayers to You. She is asking for Your hand in her situation, and needs Your comfort for her pain.

I pray that You will watch over her son, as he goes to war, and to be with him every step of the way. Thankyou, Lord, for ALL you've done and continue to do, for everyone here. Help us to turn our troubles over to You, and to put it all in Your hands, Lord. You are our rock. Thankyou! In Your name I pray, Jesus, Amen.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for your son, who died on the cross for our sins, we are not worthy of your love, and yet you give it to us anyway.

I praise you for all the things in my life. Good and Bad.

I was guilty of using you like a spare tire, only in an emergency. I know that I must have you in my daily life.

I believe that my husband's infidelity, and the events that followed are a test, I pray that you will give me the guidance to pass this test.

Your love fills my heart, and I know that with you all things are possible.

When I lose hope, you are there to pick me up, dust me off and put me back on the right track.

These things I thank you for, in your son Jesus Christ's name, Amen.

Amen, Caren!

Lord, I'd also like to pray again, for L2S. She is trying to come to terms with her situation, and she is realizing that only You have the power of change. Please help her to feel your presence, and to calm her of all the anxieties she is feeling, concerning her life. Let her know that she will be ok, no matter what, as long as You are there, and she accepts Your help. Please give her the strength, courage and desire to carry out Your will for her, Lord.

Thankyou for all You do, and will continue to do! In Jesus's name I pray...Amen.

Please pray for me again since my H served me D papers yesterday. I don't feel the strength that I need to get through this. I am lost in all of the hurt and confusion. I believe in prayer and I love my Lord with all my heart.

Please Lord, Help me with this pain and confusion. I am so lost in this act that Satan has helped create. I need your strngth and you calming hand to see me through today since tomorrow is beyond what I can handle. Please, Lord, help me see taht all of this is just a moment compared to eternity with you. Please Lord, help me to remember that you gave us so much and yet we turn away from you time and time again. Please Lord, hear my cries and answer my prayer. Please work in my WS' heart and help him to find his way back to you and to his family. Please help me to be the kind of woman that would please you and guide my H back into my arms.
Amen

Loni

Lord, I want to pray for Loni, and her family. She is feeling pain that is difficult to put into words, yet the kind of pain You know. She needs your comfort, Lord. Take her in Your arms, and soothe her soul. Let her feel your presense, as she endures these recent events in her life. Lord, I ask that You give her strength to face this situation in the way You would. Help her to put this in Your hands, because this is too heavy for her to take. Let her know, that by Your grace and love, that she will be ok, no matter what is put in front of her.

Lord, we don't know what the answers are. Evil is all around us. We just ask that You protect us, and guide us. Please touch the heart of Loni's H. He is on a path that does not belong to you, Lord. Protect him, and awaken his soul, as he goes down his own path. Maybe he has some lessons to learn, before he finds his way back to You, Lord. But we just ask, that somewhere along the way, he will remember You and Your love.

In Jesus's name I pray,

Amen.

Lord, please be with Loni at this very moment! And EVERY moment from here on out. She is facing some devastating issues, and needs Your strong arms of comfort wrapped around her. Please help her to see this in a differnt light, Lord. Her world feels very dark, so I ask that you shine a light for her, and guide her thru the darkness. Let her feel peace, Sweet Jesus, even if only for a while. Help her to find relief thru You and the Holy Spirit. Let Your presense surround her and comfort her, Lord. Give her some rest. Thankyou, Jesus!

In the name of Christ I pray, Amen.
