An Ever Broadening Circle of Prayer--Family, Friends, Neighbors, Country, World

My Books and Articles

Tonight as usual I can't sleep. My doctor has prescribed sleeping medication-it is 1:37 a.m. and I have been lying awake praying. I love my family, my friends, my neighbors, my country, and my world. And I have such a deep anguish for what seems to be happening to us all. For those who care read on; for those who don't, well, it is your prerogative to stop here.
I pray for us all.
 
Our Father which art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive
Those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation but
Deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power,
And the glory, for ever.
In your Namesake we ask these things.
Amen.
 
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray Thee Lord
Our souls to keep
If we should die
Before we wake
I pray thee Lord our souls to take
Amen.
God bless my husband and our children, our families all-and those who are not in church, know that they are good of heart and soul; that they hold You in their hearts as their Savior and King.

God bless the friends and neighbors that I have often invited to church and know that they too are all good people. They would do anything for their fellowman. They are pure in heart and hold You there as their Savior and Benefactor.

God, please help our country in this its darkest hour. Change the hearts of those who allow greed and corruption to destroy all that we have struggled for so many years to build. Bring our country back into Your good graces and if it be Your will, forgive us for all that we have done that is wrong in Your eyes. In true Faith and Love I ask these things. And God help the world to see the error of its ways. Help all countries to realize just how much we need each other to survive. Our world is doomed without Your intervention. But again, Lord, if it be Your will; I ask these things in your Namesake.
Your Will be Done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Amen.

hi sandra,
 
i can't sleep most nights either.
 
thank God for the computer.
 
there is much jealousy, destruction, back stabbing, and cruelty in this world.
 
i don't know if that will change in our lifetime, but until it does, no government action can help us.
 
God's will, not mine.
 
thanks for sharing,
 
my best regards,

Thank you, Sue.  And yes, whatever the outcome---God's will, not ours.
That's all we can ask for.
Thanks for reading and commenting.

I agree with you in Prayer, may the hearts who do not trust Jesus as their Lord and Savior, see the beauty and goodness of God and call out to him for salvation.
 
A beautiful prayer, Sandra. Thank you. Teresa
