A VIRTUAL CANDLELIGHT VIGIL FOR PROMISELUV
A VIRTUAL CANDLELIGHT VIGIL FOR PROMISEAuthor: mzgoochi
This is an email some of us received today. To say the least, it brought me to tears.
Please, whether you know Promise or not, take a moment to say a prayer for her
and her family. Make an entry in your journal and ask your friends and family for
their prayers too...http://journals.aol.com/promiseluv372/TheJournalJar/
Promise's Journal: The Journal Jar
EMAIL: Hello, This is Staci. I can't remember who all was on the update list when
Promise had her surgery I'm pretty sure you three were on it. Promise got very sick
yesterday, we thought it was the flu or something then her heart stopped. We called 911,
Thank the Lord her son knows CPR and worked on her until they arrived. She is at this time
in the hospital. Her blood count is very low and she does have an infection. She received a
blood transfusion and is on IV antibiotics. They are running more tests and I will let you know
as soon as I know anything else. She is on monitors and medication, so she is very drowsy most
of the time. Talks a lot about things I have no understanding of. She did want me to email you all,
although I am unsure who everyone she wishes me to email. I am hoping you can get the word
out as you probably know who are her closest friends. I'll update when I can. Thanx, Staci LUKE 18
Then Jesus told his desciples a parable to show them that they should
always pray and not give up. He said, "In a certain town there was a
judge who neither feared God or cared about men. And there was a
widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, "Grant me
justice against my adversary." For some time he refused. But finally he
said to himself, "Even though I do not fear God or care about men, yet
because this widow keeps bothering me I will see that she gets justice
so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!"
And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. and will not God
bring justice for His chosen ones, who cry out to Him day and night? Will he
kepp putting them off? I tell you he will see that they get justice, and quickly.
However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
MARK 5:24 FAITH
"Lord I am not worthy...only say the word and my soul shall be healed"
So Jesus went with him. a large crowd followed and pressed against him. and a woman
was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal
under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she
grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched
his cloak, because she thought, "If I touch his clothes I shall be healed." Immediately her
bleeding body stopped. and she felt in her body she wasfreed from her suffering.
At once, Jesus realized thatpower had gone out from Him. He turned around in the crowd
and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
You see the people crowding against you, his desciples answered, and yet you can ask,
'Who touched me?"But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. Then the woman
knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told
him the whole truth. He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you.
Go in Peace and befreed from your suffering."
HEAVENLY FATHER,
I AM CRYING OUT FOR PROMISE. YOU HAVE GIVEN PROMISE AS A
GIFT TO EACH ONE OF US IN J-LAND. I AM ASKING FOR YOU TO USE
OUR CONSTANT PRAYER TO HOLD HER UP IN HER HOUR OF NEED.
I KNOW YOUR LOVE FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR CHILDREN
AND YOU ARMS NEVER TIRE FROM HOLDING US UP. WHY DO I CRY SO?
WHY DO I FEEL SO BURDENED? WHY AM I HERE ON MY KNEES CRYING
OUT TO YOU THIS DAY? THERE IS NO SOLACE FOR ME. I HAVE BEEN
PREPARING MY HEART TO COME BEFORE YOU ...I KNEEL BEFORE YOU
AND TRUST IN THEE.... IMPLICITLY! I CARE NOTHING FOR THE WORLD;
I WOULD LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR EACH OF THOSE YOU HAVE GIVEN
ME. THEIR DIFFICULTIES HARDSHIPS, CONCERNS AND FEARS ARE
OVERWHELMING. I SEE THEM TOILING AND LABORING WITH PROBLEMS
THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER...ONLY YOU FATHER CAN CHANGE
THEIR PLIGHT. WHAT WILL IT TAKE? WHAT MIGHT I OFFER YOU
THIS DAY?
WILL MY SACRIFICE BE ENOUGH? THEIR LIVES ARE TRULY SHATTERED!
FATHER...ONLY YOU CAN MEND HER BROKEN HEART AND RESTORE
AND RENEW HER BODY THIS DAY. HER BODY IS WEARY FROM FIGHTING
THIS DISEASE.
JESUS, YOU PROMISED, "IF TWO OF YOU AGREE, WHATSOEVER
YOU ASK, I WILL ASK MY FATHER IN HEAVEN AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO
YOU. " I ASK FOR ALL THOSE WHO ARE HURTING AND WANTING TO HELP
PROMISETO KNEEL THIS DAY AND PREPARE YOUR HEART WITH LOVE
TO RECEIVE A MIGHTY BLESSING. PLEASE OFFER UP YOUR PAIN AND
SUFFERING AS A PLEASING SACRIFICE TO OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.
PLEASE JOIN IN MY PRAYER OF AGREEMENT SO THAT PROMISE WHO
IS SUFFERING WILL BE HEALED THIS DAY.
YOU ART MIGHTY LORD AND HOLY IS THY NAME ... EVERY KNEE WILL
BEND AND EVERY HEAD WILL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS
JESUS IS LORD AND YOU SAID, LORD, "WHATSOEVER YOU ASK IN MY
NAME SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU. THE TIME HAS COME LORD ...
OVERBURDENED WITH ANXIETY, SICKNESS, AND FATAL ILLNESS,
AND A BROKEN HEART, PROMISE NEEDS YOUR MIRACULOUS TOUCH
NOW MORE THAN ANY TIME IN HER LIFE. HOW CAN SHE BE HEALED
UNLESS YOU PERSONALLY TOUCH HER THIS DAY... THIS HOUR
THIS MINUTE WITH YOUR IMMENSE LOVE, POWER , AND HEALING ?
GOD THE FATHER ...GOD THE SON... GOD THE HOLY GHOST ...OUR
TRIUNE GOD ... OUR BELOVED MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, KING ABOVE
ALL KINGS, COMFORTER OF THE DOWNTRODDEN REMEMBER US
THIS DAY . WE SHALL NEVER BE PARTED FROM YOU. WE GIVE YOU
OUR HEARTS , OUR MINDS AND OUR BODIES AND PRAY TO BE ABLE
TO GIVE YOU THE GLORY IN THIS MIRACLE PROMISE RECEIVES THIS DAY.
Dear Jesus, surround Promise with a hedge of protection with your angels in
heaven and your Almighty Presence. Stroke her forehead and fill her with
your strength and protection. Wipe her eyes and help her to see your
all abiding love. Sterilize her bloodstream and remove toxins and bacteria.
Fill her with the essence of Your perfection. Create a calm and peace
within her mind, body. and spirit.. Help her to feel our love. Send our love
and faith to her this night so she will know and experience true peace.
Fill her with your peace Father. Come o Holy Spirit fill the heart of
Promise, enkindle her heart with the fire of Divine Love...send forth o Lord
Thy Spirit...and Thou shalt be created, and thou shalt renew Promise this day.
Jesus you said," The Peace I give is not the peace the world gives." Help
Promise to rest and heal...to feel your all abiding Love, especially to know your
perfect peace...Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
AMEN.
WE CLOSE THIS DAY AS WE SING PRAISE TO YOU.
"JESUS NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES
BLESSED REDEEMER......
GLORIOUS LORD
EMMANUEL....GOD IS WITH US
BLESSED REDEEMER ....
GLORIOUS LORD

Living Water
LIVING WATER
My mind is singed by the
Heartlessness of mankind
Douse this raging fire within with
Living water
<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><>
Why Lord do the few
Have the power to
Ruin lives of the many
<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><>
When decay from within is demonstrated
The heavy toll is as the one suffered by
Your own apostles when one of their own
Ruined life for the rest
<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><>
There is nothing
left for me ...
I will only find solace and
Wash these images away from my mind as I
Dive into your deep pool and
Swim in the living water of
Your Holy Word
<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><>
How else might I know Thee
How might I be comforted
If I have not absorbed one
Word you said?
<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><>
Your Holy Word is precious
It is Living Water
I desire Your word
Sing as a brook in my ear
<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><>
When we thirst
Why do we not go
To the well and
Drink sufficiently
From living water
Found in the word of God.
<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><>
At the crucifixion
Water spilled from your side
As you were lanced with a sword
This living water will flow from
The Word
For all eternity for those
Who take the time to
be still...and quiet...and listen
<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><>
Unshakle me from the empty words of men
The word of God is spirit and Truth
<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><>
Set me free Lord
Loose the tethers of worldly cares so
I might rise up to thee o Lord
And be found pleasing in Thy sight
<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><>
cMp
John 7:38
...Jesus stood and cried out saying, "If an man thirst, let him come unto me.
and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his heart
shall flow rivers of living water."

Prayer For The Victims of Katrina
Some times it takes
A traumatic event
To push us
Over the edge
To simply do
What we knew
We needed to do
In the beginning
august 18 2005 cMp
<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><> PRAYER FOR KATRINA'S VICTIMS
A Prayer For The Victims Of Katrina and The Flood
My Father abiding within me, you said the Kingdom of Heaven
is within. You are honored by each of us and our prayer is that
all might know your strength, your love, and your almighty power.
We seek to know Thy will, for in you is perfect agape love. Our
universal prayer is that our words conform to our love we hold in
our hearts, where you abide and guide us to all truth. We
need the manna from Heaven, Jesus, the daily bread Who offered
Himself for the remission of our sins...and to recall His words,
"It is finished!" There is nothing we need to do; belief in His
ultimate sacrificial love for us opens our heart to His boundless love.
In His greatest hour of agony, He cried out "Forgive them Father;
they know not what they do." In our quest to be pleasing in Thy sight
may we never judge our brother, but look to ourselves, as to what we
might do as the ultimate sacrifice to make this world a better place.
How can we be the one to take up our cross to ensure the plight of
another is recompensed. For this is our prayer that we might forgive
everyone as we wish to be forgiven. There is not one of us who is perfect;
we are each struggling to do the very best we can. I know in the aftermath
of this terrible force of nature we witnessed, it is difficult to conceive the
unpreparedness of our cities affected by such devastation. It is up to each
of us now to reach out to help those less fortunate caught in circumstances
completely out of their control...unforgiving Tornadoes spun out of hurricane
force winds wiping out entire neighborhoods, leaving countless individuals
homeless, and injured... or worse, lifeless.We recognize the toll of the rising
flood waters on those who chose to stay behind... because of poor health,
responsibility for others, or their personal poverty which left them no alternative.
In this total destruction many innocent lives were lost, and we must remember
the pain and suffering of those separated from their loved ones so tragically.
Help us all to reach out and help our brothers and sisters this day, and gladly
open our homes, offer our time, our finances, our sacrifice for those caught by
the destruction of this terrrible force of Nature. Amen.

"IN the beginning was the Word
the word was with God
The Word was God
He was in the beginning with God
all things were made through Him
and without Him was made nothing
that has been made
In Him was LIFE
And the life was the LIGHT of men
And the light shines in the darkness
And the darkness grsped it not
There was a man, one sent from God, whose name was John. This man came as a witness to the LIGHT that all might believe through him. He was not himself the light but was to bear witness to the light. It was the true light that enlightens every man who comes into the world. He was in the worldand the world was made through Himand the world knew him not. He came unto his own and his own received him not.
But to as many who received Him, he gave the power of becoming sons of God, to those who believe in His name"
(what an awesome thought...that I am your son, Lord. Because I love you I am the son John wrote this scripture for so I would comprehend the miracle of living life more abundantly in the will to be yours.)
who were born not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
(What is entirely awesome: I have been born of God not because I will to seek to know you, not because of the sacrifices I offer by denying my flesh but because YOU...GOD...gave me the gift of life. If there is anything in the world I must pray for it is that your light will infiltrate those for whom I pray...that you Lord would give them the Gift of Life. I am truly born of God...God has done this for me while I was rejecting Him, denying His reality, and rebelling against His commands.)
"And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us
(He does not just dwell among us in the year of the Lord but in 2005, he comes to us through His Holy Spirit, the Paraclete to all who believe in his precepts, passed down through the ages who can neither deceive nor be deceived.)
"And we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten of the Father, fulll of grace and of Truth
For the law was given through Moses, grace and Truth come through Jesus Christ"
(Grace is not something we can earn...it is a gift, just as Truth is revealed to us through His indwelling spirit)
"No one at any time has seen God. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has revealed Him."
(Thank you Jesus for revealing the Absolute One to me...
please reveal your Father to every soul I know)
MATTHEW: 7:13
"Enter by the narrow gate and
broad is the way that leads to destruction.
and many there are that enter that way
How narrow the gate and
how close the way that leads to life
And few there are who find it."
O LORD FORGIVE
MY INSOLENCE
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE
PLEASE REMOVE
FROM MY MIND
THE SILLY NOTIONs OF Mine and what I think I need
I AM FULFILLED IN
OUR CELESTIAL MARRIAGE ...
YOU HAVE TAKEN ME
TO YOUR HOUSE
WHERE YOU DWELL AND
HAVE OPENED
HEAVENLY TREASURES
I NEED NO OTHER BUT YOU
REVEAL MY SINS TO ME SO
I MIGHT BE PURE IN THY SIGHT
NEVER LET ME BE PARTED FROM YOU
MY ONLY DESIRE IS FOR YOU TO
COME TO ME DAILY IN COMMUNION
I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT YOUR LOVE
OR WITHOUT YOUR ABIDING WITHIN ME
HELP ME TO ABIDE IN YOU
SO WE CAN BE ONE
WITH THE FATHER..........AMEN

THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER
The Parable of The Sower
The Gospel According to Saint Matthew
Chapter 13
13:1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
13:2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
13:3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
13:4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
13:5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
13:6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
13:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
13:8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it <AHREF="HTTP: www.sacred-texts.com bib ebd ebd359.htm#000?> tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
13:32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
13:51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
13:53 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
13:54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

The Lost Sheep
My Lord and my God ,You are omniscient and without you we can do nothing. You have promised through your only Son Jesus Christ ,
"Again I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in Heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." Matthew 18:19
I know you are here Lord and I know you hear our prayer. My Lord and my God, there are many who are lost and now separated from you. They are separated from the One who loves them most.
Faith is a gift.This is a present I pray you give to each separated from you. My Lord, nothing is comparable to the safety of your arms , Your healing touch , Your mountain of love, Your steadfastness, Your mind, Your thoughts, Your compassion, Your mercy and deep burning love igniting every heart finding you. Please guide those who are lost into the safety of Your heavenly Kingdom where you live and reign; demonstrate your personal relationship with each of your children. You said,
"Seek and your will find."
Protect those we care for and keep them from harm's way. Jesus warned,
"If your eyes look at darkness how deep is that darkness?"
Help resolve the issues of those who are lost and have long ago given up finding you. Restore joy and happiness and peace in their life. As Jesus said,
"The peace I give is not the peace the world gives."
Demonstrate to all lost souls your all abiding presence and profound Peace. Restore their dignity Lord, by not only abiding in them, but blessing them with your Almighty Presence in all they say and do.
Jesus said, "No one comes to the Father unless the Father draws Him. "
Please Heavenly Father draw these lost souls to you. Inspire hearts to reach out for you.Inspire minds to empty themselves of all worldly knowledge as you guide their search to enter your heavenly Kingdom where all Truth lies. Once they have entered the Gates of Heaven, I pray they hear your voice. I know prayer is the key to the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus said, " I will not leave you as orphans I will send My Holy Spirit to
guide you to all Truth."
I am begging you to "Come, Holy Spirit, fill their hearts and enkindle them
with the fire of Divine Love. Send forth O lord thy spirit and Thou shalt
be created and Thou shalt renew the face of the earth."
Father allow your children to feel your enormous love and weep with joy as I did the day I asked you to come into my heart. I fell to my knees in repentance for my blasphemy and I experienced your Almighty Presence. Your mantle dropped over me. Help them to see clearly they are a product of You and can never be separatedfrom You. Use my deep abiding faith to cover their lack of faith in the things of God.
Matthew 21:21 Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but you can say to this mountain,'Go throw yourself into the sea and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask in prayer."
Deliver them from the evil one. You said the will of God is this: "that I not lose one that has been given to Me". I come before you now in all humility and beg You Lord to help us. Through our unceasing prayer restore those who are lost to their rightful home. Give their hearts the Wisdom to return before it is too late.
Help them to see we are accountable for every word we speak.
"For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. the good man brings good out of the good stored up in him. But I tell you that men will have to give an account on the day of judgement for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned." (Matthew 12:34 )
Please guide our footsteps so we may never be parted from you. Impart Your Wisdom, help our souls to be mended and our fears to be vanquished. You promised if we stand before you inprayer , if we have not yet forgiven our brother, to go first and forgive him.....and then "whatsoever we ask we shall receive. "
Help us call to mind all those who offended us and help us to take these individuals with us to the Cross. We now call out to You as your Son in His final moments.."Forgive them Father for they know not what they do"...
Help each of us to understand we must forgive to be forgiven.
Jesus said, "I will abide in you and you will abide in Me and we will be one with the Father."
This is simply put and encompasses all we pray for. We will give You the
glory, my Lord, as we see the answer to this prayer which will surely be miraculous.
All we ask , Heavenly Father, is for you to accept our repentant heart with
the sacrifice of Your Son, and bless us with the speedy return of those who
have been lost.
Amen.
Matthew 18:10
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
"See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always sees the face of my Father in Heaven. What do you think if a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills to go look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in Heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost."
