My prayer goes out to MicheleH.
I pray that everyone at this site is never given more of a challenge then what their inner strength is able to support.
I pray that everyone here receives blessings and rewards for every lesson learned.
I pray that all here are able to have the peace and love that they so deserve.
I believe with all my heart that every prayer is heard and every prayer is answered.
Blessings to all.....and sweet dreams tonight....

I'm so happy I happened upon this thread...better late than never I guess.
Dear Lord......I thank you for wonderful people like Bill who brought such a wonderful thread for us all to share our innermost thoughts, in prayer, to You. No matter how individual each of us are, we are all very much the same deep down. We all long for the same things - we all want love - peace - healing.....we all have fears and we all care deeply about one another here because we all share a common bond.
I ask God to bless each of us.................strengthen those who are suffering and PLEASE give them peace, give wisdom where wisdom is needed, give caring hearts and true love to each of us as we journey along together.
Thank you Lord for giving me this group of friends....I love them all. Amen.

I, too, want to offer prayers for our dear sister Kate. I ask God to give her strength, peace and healing. May she feel the love we all hold for her and may God send special angels to minister onto her. Also Lord, could you please give peace and rest to all who are struggling with worry and anxiety. Hold each of us close dear Lord and let Your love be felt by us all. Amen

You can include me for prayers for Kate. I will pray that she is given the courage, stength and peace for all that she is dealing with. I want her to know that she is not alone.

great thread
thanks Bill. I too just stumbled across this thread. What a great idea.
Lord, thank you so very much for this awesome support group and all the great people that give their all to make this happen. I know Lord that it was You that brought me here, knowing that I needed the strength that comes from knowledge, knowledge that is so willingly and quickly shared here by all the people that truly love and encourage each other on this site.
Lord, You know ALL things; You know what each and every one of us need for comfort and strength. Lord God, I know that all things are possible with You. I just want to ask that You lift up each and every one here. Please help each and every one of us feel Your presence in our lives and feel comforted by Your presence.
There are some that are especially struggling right now. Please ease their suffering and grant them strength and peace.
And finally Lord since NOTHING is impossible for You, I pray for a cure for this nasty awful disease.
Amen

The Lord has really put a burden on my heart for our dear Michelle H. I pray Lord that you would just touch her where she is today and that she would feel your everlasting love and comfort. I pray that her new drug combo works wonders in her body and that she is well soon. I pray that her family finds the peace that only you can bring. Lord, I am asking you to do more than they can ever imagine. We know nothing is impossible with you.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Hi Tonya,
I hear ya on the motorcycle trip prayers. My husband also take motorcycle trips annually. My prayer for him as I now pray for your husband and group is that God would send His angels to ride along side of them - to keep their bikes upright and for them to travel safe. In Jesus' Name I ask this. Amen.

A Healing Prayer
Thy name is my healing, Oh my God
and remembrance of Thee is my remedy
Thy nearness to me is my hope
and Thy love for me is my companion
Thy mercy to me is my succor
in both this world and the world to come.
thou art the all bountiful, the all knowing, the all wise.
