daily prayer

Great Monday morning! How are we faithing after the weekend? I have gotten alot of prayer requests this weekend. We need to remember to lift up those we hear about as soon as we hear because guess what, we forget. It's not that we don't care or are unwilling to remember we just get going with life and well, forget. The love and concern is still there but because things happen constantly it is easy to forget. I have to make notes or ask people to E-mail me so I can be reminded. I do remember at weird times. In the middle of a fire investigation I remember my daughters knees hurt or while mowing the yard I remember so and so's grandma has to have a stint put in Tuesday. Do you do that? This relationship with the savior goes both ways. We need to bring our concerns to the feet of Jesus and we need to listen also. Reading the Word every day is important just like praying is. So the next time you tell someone you will pray for them, do it right then if possible. Write a note so before you set the sun on another day you speak with the Lord.

Col 3:15-17
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
NIV

Col 4:2-6
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
NIV

Eph 3:16-19
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
NIV

Remember Mr and Mrs. Millsap...remember Alicia Caple...remember the Smethhurst Ministries...remember Ty Bates

Heavenly Father,
We thank you for all your love and grace for us. We ask forgiveness for our shortcoming's and ask we recognise them without berating our selves. Help us fix what we can and to seek your wisdom constantly . Lord we lift those up that ask for prayer and those we meet that need it. Help us remember when we need to pray . Lord, thank you for the blessings you give, in Jesus name we pray, amen
