"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
Psalm 16:11
"God comes to our lonely, anxious hearts and whispers our name. God says "I see both the fear you have of closeness and the deep longing you have to belong. I have come to comfort you and to respond to your need. I have been seeking a relationship with you. You belong. You belong to me. You are my child."

PRAYER FOR MY BLOGGIE FRIENDS


"Heavenly Father I give you thanks and praise! Even though many times I do not feel like it lately myself, You so deserve the praises of Your people!

Lord, I come before You on behalf of my bloggie friends. For some of us, it is a difficult season to endure. The painful memories of our past can dampen this time of year.

Lord, I lift each and every precious soul up to You! You know exactly what is on their hearts, and feel their pain. I pray that You answer their prayers! Dry their tears. Comfort them in their time of sorrow. Rejoice with them in their time of happiness. Give them strength and peace for the challenges they have to face today. Take their fears and insecurities. Let all feel Your love as never before!!!

I thank you again and all the glory and praise goes to You in Your precious Son's name, amen!"
