Thank you everyone who is praying. Your prayer support and encouragement mean a lot.

For everyone else who is experiencing difficulties:

Lord please help us to keep our eyes upon You
And to know that our difficult situations will pass;
May we run to You - our strong tower and refuge as soon as
we hear the oppresser whisper lies to us.
Help us to praise you even when our hearts are breaking
because You bless those who bring You a sacrifice of praise.
May we always remember that You promise never to leave
us or forsake us and even when we don't 'feel' your presence
may we walk with the eyes of faith upon You.
Thank You for these trials and difficulties and for everything You
want to teach us through them
May we come forth as gold and may You be glorified.
AMEN.

Cherished, I'm sorry that somehow I missed this part of your post yesterday, till I saw Liveloved's post.

1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

May God hold you so very close. I am praying



sparkleingsnow -> RE: KINDRED SPIRITS - Encourage One Another (4/23/2008 4:23:54 PM)

for both lightshineon and Liveloved

Jeremiah 30:17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.

Hosea 6:1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

lightshineon, I understand. It is havrd for me to ask for myself, also. :)

I am praying.

I just pray and with a pure heart ask God to bless all my kindered Spirits, this week, showing himself in a way that none of us has experienced before. Thanks to all my friends for caring.[:)]

If God be for you, then whom shall you fear?

I am the Lord your God

Be anxious for nothing, for I am with you

Ok just some verses that stick out and to let you know that I pray for you nightly.

God Bless

Focusing -> RE: KINDRED SPIRITS - Encourage One Another (4/24/2008 3:53:56 PM)

YAY!!! I just noticed the thread has been opened!! [:D]


I love this verse ... it is a beautiful reminder to continue lifting each other in prayer.


On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who remind the LORD, take no rest for yourselves
Isaiah 62:6



As I read through the prayer requests, know that I am lifting each one up to the Lord. He knows all the details surrounding the situation, and He is holding each one tenderly. My hope is that each one struggling feels His touch ... feels Him near.

Don't be afraid to ask for prayer for yourself ... we are told


... yet ye have not, because ye ask not
James 4:2



Come and ask, and let us lift you in prayer ... allow yourself to feel the love being extended through your siblings! [:)]

Psalm 20:4-6

4 May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed.

5 We will shout for joy when you are victorious
and will lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the LORD grant all your requests.

6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed;
he answers him from his holy heaven
with the saving power of his right hand.



Liveloved -> RE: KINDRED SPIRITS - Encourage One Another (4/26/2008 2:23:06 PM)

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised!
In the city of our God, His holy mountain.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion in the far north,
The city of the great King.
God, in her palaces,
Has made Himself known as a stronghold.

Yes, great is the Lord and MOST WORTHY of our praise! Thank You, Lord!
Blessings to you today, sisters and brothers![:)]

I would like to dedicate this Hymn to ALL who visit this thread.
Nothing is touching you or your life that the Lord is unaware of.
God is with you, He loves you, and He is Faithful!
Press on Christian Soldiers!

HIGHER GROUND

I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I’m onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

Refrain

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s table land,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where those abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

Refrain

I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.

Refrain

I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till Heav’n I’ve found,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

(ETC.)


"The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places."
Habakkuk 3:19a

"I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God
in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:14

Thanks Ignited-Faith, I really needed that, this morning.



CherishedbyGod -> RE: KINDRED SPIRITS - Encourage One Another (4/27/2008 4:44:48 PM)

I cried as I read through the posts and see that some are praying so unselfishly, as I read through the encouragements to press on and upward, as I read the scriptures

I just love you all so much[:)]

A song for you: Please click on "I Will Lift My Eyes" when it comes up[:)]

How are you feeling, precious sister?



lightshineon -> RE: KINDRED SPIRITS - Encourage One Another (4/27/2008 6:05:10 PM)

Better, still in bed, and missed church, and daughters concert in the park. I may go get plants (lol) if can. but the prayers, verses, and love have helped. The medication has helped also, just worried why, but then I read this thead, and read scriptures, song verses, and I am lifted up. How is everyone else doing? Are you ok Cherished? Thanks everyone[:D]

Psalms 8:1 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. 2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. 9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!



Liveloved -> RE: KINDRED SPIRITS - Encourage One Another (4/28/2008 1:17:42 PM)

I am really in need of your prayer right now. I am dealing with some health things that are very frightening and my tendency is to be discouraged. I won't go into all the details but I would certainly appreciate your holding me up.

I know that fear is not from Him. I am being called to greater love and trust. But I need my believing friends. So thank you for encouraging me through your faithful prayers. Bless you, LL[:)]



Focusing -> RE: KINDRED SPIRITS - Encourage One Another (4/28/2008 1:25:14 PM)

Lifting you in prayer LL ... and that you continue trusting in Him

Lord I pray for Liveloved - that you would help to quieten
the stormy winds of adversity which have come against her;
Keep Liveloved's head above the waters which threaten to
pull her under when they think about this health issue which You know all about
May she look unto You and be encouraged in that
nothing is happening in her life which You cannot use
to bring her into a closer and more precious walk with You.
You O Lord know all our concerns and fears and You
do not wish us to carry them alone -
Please help Liveloved to cast her care upon You and may she
sense Your uplifting and enabling power through this anxious
and unsettling time.
Thank You for your love and concern for Liveloved and for helping
her to share so we can pray as You would have us do for our
precious brethren.
Help Liveloved to offer You the sacrifice of praise because You
bless those who offer You such and it pleases You
Help her to know that You have already gone ahead into the future
and are therefore able to work all things together for good due to Your
great knowledge about us and our circumstances past, present and future.
You are an awesome God and may Liveloved rest secure in this knowledge.
Bless Liveloved and make her a blessing and may she comfort others
in the days ahead with the same comfort as she receives from You.
AMEN.



sparkleingsnow -> RE: KINDRED SPIRITS - Encourage One Another (4/28/2008 3:53:55 PM)

Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

Father, Your word says that all things work to the good for those that love You and are called to Your purpose. Thank You for this promise. Be with Liveloved. Hold her close and comfort her. Father, we ask for healing, and help in every area of Liveloved's life. Don't let her be discouraged, but fill her with joy and peace as she leans on You. Turn everything around for the good. We thank You and praise You Lord. In Jesus name. Amen



Liveloved -> RE: KINDRED SPIRITS - Encourage One Another (4/28/2008 4:55:47 PM)

[:)]Thank you, dear family, for upholding me. God is good and has been so good to me. I know He is The Trustworthy One! And I am so blessed to have each of you praying for me. I pray showers of blessings on each of you as well.[:)]

[sm=icon_smile_sing.gif][sm=icon_smile_sing.gif] Singing His praise!
