Prayer Focus For The Week of 8-25-13

O Lord God, great is Your faithfulness.  Even when things in the world don’t look or sound good, I can still find hope and expectation in Your Word.  I remember how merciful You have been to me in the past and I rejoice that Your mercy is renewed each morning.  Your faithfulness is truly great! 

 

My soul says, the Lord is my portion and I will hope in Him.  The Lord is good to those who wait for Him and seek Him.  I hope and quietly wait upon the salvation of the Lord. 

 

Lord, I wait for You.  My expectation and hope are in You.  As I obediently make the changes You show me, my strength and power are renewed.  I lift up my wings like an eagle and soar closer and closer to You.  When I walk or run, I don’t get weary or tired and faint. 

 

I only desire to seek after You and forever be in Your presence all the days of my life.  There I can look upon Your beauty and meditate and inquire in Your temple and You will always answer me.  

 

Thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness, for it is truly great!  In Jesus’ name, amen.

 

 

 

Lamentations 3:21-26 (various translations)

“But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.” (Isaiah 40:31 AMP)

“One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.”  (Psalm 27:4 KJV)

The Power of Praying for Your Adult Children

If you are in the Indianapolis, Indiana or surrounding areas, please mark your calendars for this awesome study on praying for your adult children.

'The Power of Praying for Your Adult Children" by Stormie Omartian

The following is a report on the practical applications of Stormie Omartian's new book, The Power of Praying for Your Adult Children (Harvest House, 2009).

You want to continue to support your adult children while still giving them the freedom to make their own choices. But where do you draw the line between helping them to build their own lives well and enabling them to remain dependent on you? And how do you deal with all of your many concerns about them – from their friendships and romantic partnerships, to their career pursuits and financial management?

We will begin this study on June 11th, Saturday, at 10:30am and meet every other week.

We will meet at LIFE Church and Training Center, 5895 E. Thompson Rd., Suite D, Indianapolis, IN 46237

A Prayer for Your Wife

Prayer For Your Wife

Father, I thank You for (insert name) who delights herself in You. Your Spirit rests upon her - the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and power; the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

Thank You, Father, that (insert name) is loving, patient and kind. She is not envious, boastful, proud, rude, or self-seeking. She is not easily angered and never keeps a record of my wrongs. She is quick to forgive. She rejoices when righteousness and truth prevail.

She always speaks well of me and believes the best of me. She always hopes and perseveres because You, Lord, are her primary focus.

Father, because we love You first and foremost and are submitted to You as the Head of the Church, we are committed and submitted to one another, daily maturing in the oneness You meant to exist in our relationship.

In (insert name) tongue is life and not death. She strengthens our relationship by speaking Your Word, Lord, in the face of any circumstance. She is never degrading or intimidating, but always uplifts, edifies and encourages.

Thank You, Father, that my mate is a peacemaker. She refuses to allow strife, envy, or selfishness in our marriage and home. Because our home is a haven of love, peace and harmony, our prayers are not hindered and Your blessings are overtaking us, Lord.

Thank You, Father, for helping us to mature in You and in our relationship with one another. Amen.

Unforgiveness or Forgiveness

Unforgiveness or Forgiveness?



Unforgiveness or Forgiveness?
It is our choice, you know.
We hold this power within our hands
to keep or to let go.

Seems so hard, but is it really?
Yes, impossible in our flesh.
But isn’t the Grace of God sufficient
even to meet this test?

It’s not hard; just make the choice.
Receive God’s Grace – Forgive.
After all, we’ve been forgiven
time and time again.

None of us is perfect.
We all fall short and sin.
But God in his great mercy
has taught us to forgive.

It keeps the doors open
and the pathways clear
for the Love of God to reach
around this earthly sphere.

So come, let’s make the choice today
to forgive and set each other free,
to walk in peace and love and joy,
to walk in harmony.

Rev. Dorothy K. Pierce
