Prayer Requests week of 9-4-12

Do you have a prayer request you’d like to make? This is the place.

Make one, update us on one, find someone to pray for, or just let someone know you’ll pray for them. Encourage one another.

“16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”

James 5:16

Something New

One of the things I’ve always loved about the internet is that it let’s people communicate nearly  instantly. You can pass on news, stories, concerns, good news, bad news, whatever. It’s a great tool for these and many other things. What I’d like to do is use that in a way that’s beneficial to folks.

Most here are the praying type. We pray for our friends, family, coworkers, even total strangers, and ourselves. As followers of Christ, it’s what we do. It’s beneficial to all involved, those praying and the ones being prayed for. So I decided last night, while praying 🙂 that maybe we could use that to benefit each other. So I’m thinking that along with the Daily thread, perhaps another daily thread for prayer requests would be a good idea. I’ve seen them in the open threads, and that people respond when asked to pray, and I decided to try a a thread for just that purpose.

If you have a request, put it up. You can be as vague, sometimes too many details can be a problem,  or specific as you’d like. Your call. Besides, God knows the who and what of it, even if the details are vague to us. He knows already. So if you have a request, put it up. If you’re a Prayer Warrior, do your thing.

I consider it a blessing when folks pray for me, and a blessing to be able to ask God to help others when they need it. It’s win/win people. 🙂

Philippians 4:5-7

5Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

6Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus
