I Need a Prayer thread

It is something that I have long known about myself: there is no one on the face of this earth that I would rather be. With that realisation came the knowledge that I regarded myself as being blessed. It was only yesterday, however, that I acknowledged that there was nothing in life that I needed or wanted to the point of desperation, except having children. I realised some months ago, however, that I will not die if my IVF procedures fail and that my life is full as it is. I realised only yesterday though, exactly how much my staff and students see me as their mother; my students want to walk with me to my car after class and friend me on Facebook and every other social network out there and I have to be invisible online because they rush me when they see me in any of my e-mail accounts. I realised how often destitute people come to my gate asking for food or money to make ends meet and I have always been able to help sometimes to the point of bringing them to tears. It was only yesterday that I began to regard myself as being wealthy; not Bill Gates kind of wealthy, but if I have EVERYTHING that I either want or need in this life doesn't that make me on par with him? He may be able to afford more beds or houses than I can, but he can live in them only one at a time like me; he can eat only so many meals per day regardless of his staggering material wealth. The true wealth in this life is contentment, and at the moment, there is no one on the face of this earth who has more of that than I do.

I needed you and ^^^ that today. You are 100% right sweetheart. Sometimes, or so it seems to me, the things we think we want, or need, we seem to NOT get. But God (and I do believe in God) seems to write (as Nat always says) straight on crooked lines. He gets us where we need to be and gives us what He wants us to have. We're just not patient sometimes.

I :heart: this thread. Thank you for your positivity. In a world so filled with negativity, we can (and I let myself last night) fall into that latter category. I don't like that...you helped me lift myself from it. :kiss: thank you again.

I do not think that there is any rock star out there who gets as much adulation as I do when I interact with my students in my lectures. I realised how often destitute people come to my gate asking for food or money to make ends meet and I have always been able to help sometimes to the point of bringing them to tears. I realised how much pride it brings me that my family and friends see my home as being a sanctuary and they come there often and linger long.

you are amazing I hope that you get what you are looking for because you seem to give so much to so many.
 
I'd appreciate prayers that I'll be able to do well at work. For reasons that were not my fault today was a real test for me. Please pray that I'll be able to handle this.

For those in need of prayer (and those who don't even know they have a need)--I'm reaching up for you.
 

I am not in need of prayer, but feel the need to say hello to the sweet, thoughtful originator of this thread :kiss: (((AZ baby)))
 
I have a list:

For my co-worker. Her husband is undergoing tests this week for a mass they found on his kidney. They are both dear friends.

For my sister: Her 6-week old grandson was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. He's so little - but a fighter - bright eyes and all.

And for me. I am undergoing a major surgery on Wednesday. I was diagnosed with uterine cancer in August. After a couple of procedures and six months of a chemo hormone drug- the cancer is back I am having a complete hysterectomy but not sure if I will need radiation or chemo afterwards.. will depend on the biopsies.

Please keep all of us in your prayers and thoughts as I have each one of you in my daily prayers.

This list and you are being prayed over. Sending you warm supportive thoughts. Know that I and so many others are here for you.

(on a more personal note...I can relate a bit to what you're going thru. I've a strong shoulder and a willing ear if you need to talk, vent, whatever)

:heart::rose:
 
I just wanted to send out heartfelt thoughts and prayers to those who were affected by the recent devastation caused by the tornadoes. There are no words to describe how heavy my heart is for those who have lost loved ones. I pray that His love and wisdom will bless you and protect you during these difficult times.

I also wanted to extend my thoughts and prayers to tweetygal, her co-worker and her sister. I pray that He shines His loving light and heals all of you; not just physically, but emotionally. Continue to be immovable in the promise of His grace and love, because He can produce wonderful blessings out of our pain and suffering.

Deuteronomy 31:6 : Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee;
he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.



In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
