O God, We have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied us and made us thirsty for more. We are painfuly conscious of our need of further grace. We are ashamed of our lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, we want to want Thee; We long to be filled with longing; We thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show us Thy glory, we pray Thee, so that we may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within us. Say to our souls,"Rise up, my loves, my fair ones, and come away." Then give us the grace to rise and follow Thee up from the misty lowland where we have wandered so long. In Jesus name, Amen.

Dear Father, to this inspired prayer of praise and power please add all of our faith. We trust all thy promises. Guard us and guard our husbands from temptation. Through Jesus thou hast given us deliverance from evil. May we always be mindful of thy grace and truth as we struggle in our lives. <BR>Bless our tongues that we may only speak love. Bless our ears that we will always perceive thy voice and the voices of thy servants and heed thy messages from whatever source thou sendest them. Bless our hands that we may ever serve thee as we serve our families, friends and neighbors. Bless our feet that we may always walk in thy paths. Bless our minds that we may discern the good in others and draw them into thy light. Let thy will be manifest in us, help us to be valiant and strong tools in thy hands. We thank thee for working in our marriages to bring ourselves, our husbands and our children unto thee. In the holy name of Jesus Christ, our Master, Amen.<p>[This message has been edited by Karenna (edited June 28, 2000).]

hw - your prayer was beautiful again! Wow! The Holy Spirit was with us... Our prayers are heard, and the Lord is answering. Praise Him, he is so awesome. <P>Thank you all for your prayers. The Lord is with each of us even right now, no matter what circumstance we are in. I want to share a small praise report with you. We have been praying that the Lord hold my husband accountable for his behavior. He finally enrolled in the 20 week course through the women's shelter, and went to the first session tonight!!! I am so thrilled that the Lord worked it out for him to be in a Wed. night class, because now I can go to church Wed. night and pray, pray, pray and worship while he is in class, without worrying that he will be mad that I am not home! Thank You Lord!!!!!<P>I am so thankful to our Lord, I cannot put it into words. And I am so thankful for each of you, and your prayers. Blessings to each of you.<P>AW
