My Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I couldn't sleep last night, go figure, so I answered a lot of postings. Afterwhich, I read James.

It was not this passage, but the notes within my Bible that struck me.
"So speak and so act as people who will be judged by the law of freedom. For the judgment is merciless to one who has not shown mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment."James 2:12-13
Notes: The law upon which the last judgment wil be based is the law of freedom. As Jesus taught, mercy (which participates in God's own loving mercy) includes forgiveness of those who wrong us.

Dear wife,
I forgive you for the actions and emotions you are choosing to bring forth right now. I forgive you for the belittling and arguing you initiate in front of our children. I forgive you for the name calling and venomous remarks you have issued me in the past and to this day. I forgive you for how you treat our children. I forgive you for hating me.
I love you my dear wife and because I do I am praying for you to Our Heavenly Father.

Our Dear Heavenly Father, please bless my wife with Your Protection and Mercy. Forgive her her transgressions against You and Your Children. Read her heart and see that she is truly a good woman, and invite her into Your Family. Send the Holy Spirit to her to enlighten her with Your existence. Let the Spirit move her to change the path of external sorrow she is headed on, and to accpet Jesus Christ as her Lord and personal Savior. Bind Satan who has blinded her eyes and filled her heart with pride (wounded). Loosen her soul to see that he, and his emissaries on earth, have shown her lies by denying Your existence. I ask this in the name of the Most Holy and Precious Lord, Christ Jesus. Amen

A PRAYER FOR YOUR SPOUSE AND FAMILY

Lord, I pray for my prodigal and all other prodigals and families who have seperation or divorce coming against them. Dear Lord, I pray in agreement with thousands of other standers across the world that if two of us on earth agree about anything we ask for, it will be done for us by our Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in Your name, there You are with us. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed me and my family in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
Thank You Lord, that You have lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Lord, as I have opportunity, let me do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Lord, I pray that You will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers throughout this weekend. I pray that You will remind all spouses that they are one flesh, that they have a covenant marriage, and that You hate divorce. Thank You Lord, that You look after Your lost sheep and rescue them from from all the places where they are scattered. You said that You will break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the hands of those who enslaved them. You will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. You will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them. Thank You Lord, that Your Word says You will deliver even one who is not innocent, who will be delivered through the cleanness of Your hands. Show me Your way, O Lord, teach me Your paths, guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth.In Jesus name. Amen

That was a prayer from rejoicemin.org.

May God bless them richly for being a Godly force in standing for marriage. May all of our hearts be joined with theirs that marriages all over the world will be restored and healed. That God's mercy and grace, His love and forgiveness will reach out to all, to those who are not even looking for Him, that His will be done. Father God, I would ask that you go to those who are decieved and that You would put Your Son in their path. That Your light would shine upon us all, and lead us to all truth, to the foot of the cross, where the blood can cleanse anyone who will just come. Their is not one who is too great a sinner. Your love is greater than any sin. And You will restore whatever has been destroyed. You are the potter, and we are the clay. Father God, bless and heal us all. Again in Jesus name. Amen

Father I lift up SG's unspoken request for physical healing.
Lord this morning I "hear" in his type two requests. One that you would heal him and the other than you would encourage him.

Father, sometimes we don't understand why You have the abiltity to heal and and You could speak the word today and it would be done, and yet it seems you pass us by.

God we trust you that you have a purpose for all things. But we are also thankful God that those seasons of our lives come to an end.

And I lift up my brother's affliction to you today and ask that you would now remove it.
That you would begin to restore all those years the locusts have destroyed and all those years of pain and suffering emotionally, and you would heal.

I thank you God that as all this stuff gets restored in his life, that the physical ailment will go too.

I ask in Your name Jesus that you remove it from him.

Encourage your son this morning God. Encourage his mind and his emotions. Let him know that you have only good planned for him.

And YES, you do have a plan. A plan and a purpose and hope.

Father let him rest in perfect peace this morning knowing you have not forgotten him.

You will NEVER leave or forsake him and Your thoughts toward him this day and forever are good.
In Jesus' precious name,
Amen

Thanks Dzzz,
I will receive that prayer, and I thank you that you can discern what I am feeling thru my post. I would hug you if you were here, and your hubby!!!!I think it's the holidays and hearing everyone's plans and going to the mall and seeing everyone shopping, and all the holiday cheer. And then being alone. God, change my season. I'm not a bad guy.
