what an awesome prayer warrior!<BR>Please let me add myself and my H to this prayer list...<P>Lord, I ask forgiveness for being upset last night that things did not go my way.

I ask that you continue to pull me closer to you until my walk is a righteous one.<P>For my H Lord, I ask that his broken heart be healed in the name of Jesus and that the memories of how I have hurt him begin to be replaced with the ones of love we are now creating.

Let us know that you are there to wrap us in your warmth.<P>Thank you Father for the gifts you have bestowed upon my family and I pray that you use me today to shine light into someones life...Amen

Thank you hw for the beautiful prayers. My gloom, anger and dark thoughts vanished today. I'm even more broke today than I was yesterday, but today I was happy. I think your prayer for me was answered, and I was able to see it. Keep praying for the financial part, though. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] I may have written a bad check today.

I just have to share a small awesome way in which God is working.<BR>I had been praying that God work in ways I never expected. Well, a month or so ago my h moved out of his bigger apartment and into a smaller one of the 3rd floor of the same building. When I was with my Bible group at lunch the other day, one of the women said that a new pastor of one of the church's affiliated with our church had moved into a certain area. I said, really a minister just took my h's old apratment that was too large for him. See I had been praying that this family who I new was a minister would be praying for their neighbors, namely my h. Well guess what this minister that lives in my h's building is the same minister from this other church. <BR>My friend is in ministry work in the church and knows them. So she called them to let them know that he has a wife and kids who love him and want him home. Also come to find out their daughter goes to the same boarding school as my daughter.<BR>I do not want to get in the way of God's working, but this was an affirmation that God is really working in ways I never imagined. He is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
