Pray for Me...Pray for Others 07/29/2009

We participate in "Pray for Me... Pray for Others" on the Riggs Family Blog. Check out their blog to add your prayer request. Join a community of friends who care about you, and hope you will care about them.

This week I'm asking for a simple prayer for me ~ Would you please pray for peace & calmness of my mind. It's been a bit chaotic & stressful with all God CHOOSE for me to do and things have been a bit difficult to LEARN. That's right, I've taken a few steps forward & risks in the world to LEARN some new things in many areas [mostly the Computer - Bible - Orphans] so that I can continue to reach out, help, support and make a difference in this Beautiful world God Created for US and WE have really messed up along the way... WE are responsible for cleaning up OUR messes. So with that please SEE many of the prayers I've listed below.

First please Pray for all the Lil ones out there who are suffering so terrible from lack COMPASSION, WATER, NUTRITION & LOVE. There are so many Children dieing DAILY it's hard to even comprehend... things many of us take for granted DAILY! To start out here's a Video of Reality...

CHARITY WATER

And so many of God's children are in desperate need for LOVE! Please pray that WE would look in OUR hearts of adopting &/or supporting a family the means to adopt through show Hope. BUT it doesn't stop there! Not only did Steven Curtis & Mary Beth Chapman along with their many children start show Hope, they've recently OPENED Maria's Big House of Hope [SEE my top header words?] in China as to give many Children in need HOPE! Please do watch the video and then check out their sites.

Here's a great OPPORTUNITY for US to give a child HOPE through Compassion. They ask this of US... "Please pray for our development cntr workers in Burkina Faso, that the Lord grants them energy & strength as they minister to the children."

CompassionArt is a spot where you can buy a CD/DVD that was created by a number of musicians who are FULL of Compassion. The music is AWESOME [I have it] & ALL the sales go toward those struggling in Poverty. Please Pray for people to become aware of this site & find the means to buy or spread the word.

Shane Board is a singer/songwriter/actor who works hard to raise money with his talents God gave him. In turn he gives 100% to find a CURE for DIABETES. He could really use sponsors & prayers to get his album out to the world. [This year I witness my Aunt die because of this disease & it not only happens to Adults! I even had this deadly disease, it's NOT fun!]

The Good Lord, Jesus Christ, has given US the means to have a way of LIFE; whether it be computer, phone, travel... won't you please give so His children will also have LIFE???

How can WE give? So often we hear ourselves say, "I can't afford to give."

Did you know there's a FREE, SIMPLE , QUICK way to give??? It's through PRAYER and being HIS hands and feet! Do you believe in Jesus??? He DIED on the cross to give US a FREE life in Eternity???

We can Spread the Word to the non-believers. We can volunteer to help a local, community, state, national or even international event. We can REACH OUT to our neighbor with a plate of food. [I'm tickled pink when someone invites me over for a meal!] WE as an individuals can put OUR heads & hearts together in UNITY and give HOPE to HIS PEOPLE one at a time!

For ONLY dimes a day WE can sponsor...

[that's much less than 1 cup of coffee, soda to drink and certainly less than a meal out or an "extra" trip to SEE a place.

Most of all I pray that YOU
find true peace and happiness FROM within

May you have a blessed day :-)
