This week, for the Spirituality Explorers, I decided to do something different. We're going to do a "Prayer Chain". The way it works is for you to pray, meditate, visualize, or affirm--whatever is in alignment with your spiritual tradition--for the person before you in the comment chain. Then you add your own prayer request. The next person will then pray for you and add their own prayer request. At a later date, I will ask that you all report back about your prayer request and what has occurred.

Also, please pray for peace, love and harmony for our world, for my country, for my very special family and for my beloved one... I hope we'll be able to find a way to each other's heart again.
Thank you for the great, great idea! :-)
Hugs & blessings from Moscow - S.
I pray and affirm with you, your husband, the church's members and specially for those making the decisions at the church for wisdom and clarity. We release any and all thoughts that are not Christ like, in other words, any thoughts of judgement, non deserving, or fear, and allow God's wisdom, guidance, love, peace, understanding, power, and strength to flow through your thoughts, your words and your actions. We know and affirm that your wishes are God's wishes. So as you are clear of your intentions and desires, you have all that you need to proceed, accept and receive. And with grateful hearts we say Amen.
Sorry for my lack of "order coordination".
As I close my eyes to pray with you, I could see God's loving, peaceful and healing energy surrounding your beautiful country. I pray that God's peace be constant in each of us, all over the world, allowing us to be loving, forgiving and accepting of each other.I send you, your family, and all of those in your country my love. I pray and affirm with you harmony in all your affairs. Amen
HEALTH_ very sick with multi- problems all add up to HEALTH>
Nan, for your personal request (?) - I'm praying for a great abundance of health blessings as well as true Freedom increasing and increasing in your life and those of your loved ones.
For my prayers:
I request the blessings of clarity of purpose and goodness of heart and truth of action for everyone in our Village who is in a position of responsibility for others - especially those responsible for the very old and very young and for those who need assistance in any way, including animals and trees - all beings.
My personal request is for the blessing of receiving the new, higher-paid position I've applied for - this OR something better, for the highest good of all.
My personal request is for my daughter. I ask that she finds new employment that will give her a sense of satisfaction and joy.
For myself, I would ask for patience and tolerance in dealing with others.
Sveta may God Bless you, your family and your country. I feel so honored to be able to
pray for you. May God bless our world and sent His light of healing over us all.
Luziaand DeeDee, I pray that God showers you with love and abundance, good health and happiness, every day of your lives.
Nan I pray that God sends His blessings to all the victims of hurricanes, floods, arthquakes and all other disasters to keep them strong, positive, healthy in mind, body and spirit. Carolion and Janet, I pray that God sends you the right job in the right timing, with all of the qualifications that you desire for your personal growth and
of those around you. Janet may God bless you with patience and the ability to view others from their perspective which leads to tolerance.
I ask for prayers for my husband, Ernie, for good health. Thank you.
My prayer request is personal. Once again, as is the case in construction management, I seem to have worked myself right out of a job. This time it is a double edged sword because it means I've worked myself right out of a company apartment. Just over one week and I'll be facing joblessness & homelessness and not even sure where to go. I have a couple of good friends here in San Antonio. I have one great friend in Tucson. I have my best friend in NC. My sister and brother Ted are in SC. My oldest brother Alan still resides in Maine and my foremer employer has a bid on the Minnesota bridge that collapsed and said if they get that job, maybe they'll be room for me. One week and absolutely no idea what lays ahead. This nomadic lifestyle was exciting in my 20s, tolerable in my 30s (though it did cost me a wife), but unbearable in my lonely 40s. Whew, I am sorry to leave the next in line so much.
Love and Prayers Amen
And I ask for a prayer for the young man who twisted and broke my grandaughters arm. I worry he will stay angry and grow up withh hate.
I have had a very weak walk with God and need to be stronger. As I look at the needs of some I know my problems are nothing, and the list only grows for those that need help and guidence from God. This list helps me understand just how awesome God is and my list is small compared to what his. I would like for God to use me to help others in whatever or whereever he needs me, I know he will give me the tools I need to do the work he asks of me.
I ask the Holy Spirit to fill me to over flowing, so that God's love shines out to others.
Blessings
There are some that I am already praying for that is on this chain. Since coming to gather I have met many people that are in need of prayers.
Dee Dee I have been praying for you and Robert I do believe God has something special for you.
I am asking for prayer for my family. Both of our vehicles are now out of order, and the bills are starting to pile up. If my son gets the construction job he is hoping to get, or my daughter may find a full time job, or my disability retirement would come in, then we would be able to clear it all up. God knows what is best for all of us. Pray His will comes through. thank you all.
Spefically for Lisa's family, I ask that you show her son and daughter-in-law jobs that provide for their needs and serve and honor you. I ask for a quick and favorable decision for Lisa's disability income.
I am asking for prayers for my son, age 23, that he discover his purpose and go after it, and that I would be provided disability income.
our prayers will be answered and I am grateful for Your truth and Mercy.
I specifically raise up Marilyn, who has need of a disability determination, and for her son, that he will discover Your purpose for him and enable him to persue it.
I also pray for healing for myself, I know You are able to defy even death and I am willing to accept Your will for my life and will try to seek it daily.
I ask all these things of You Lord, with the power of the Holy Spirit, and in the name of
Your precious Son and our Savior, Jesus, the Christ, now and forever, Amen.
I ask LORD that you show me day to day what it is you would have me to do. I ask forgivenss LORD for the sins and short comings in my life, and I praise you for your love and grace. LORD there are so many prayer needs that I know of, too many to list here, and I know that when others pray for the needs, all they have to do is say "for all the needs in this request. Pray for Cheryl to pass the kidney stones that have kept her from work, keep her job safe, as she has only been on this one for a few weeks. Be with Lisa and her husband and son as they have just buried thier little girl, Hannah. Let the toy drive they started that Hannah was such a big part of, be a mighty tool for YOU LORD. Be with the young man that shot himself in the head, and they told the family that he would be a vegatable and yet, he awoke and spoke to them. I praise you for that LORD, and I ask that he be healed in YOUR NAME!! I just praise you LORD, and I thank you for everything in my life, good or bad, as it has helped me to grow in YOUR LOVE. Be with each of us, your children, guide and direct us and use us as YOUR hands, feet, eyes, ears and heart. amen
That this nation's scars be healed, that we as a people return to the ways of our Lord, and as a result of both--that our children grow up healthy in a safe and caring world.
For so as a nation is blessed, so are its people. Thank you all for joing in my prayer as well.
My own request is for my grandson. I pray the medical world will find a way to restore damaged brains. If not in his lifetime, then I pray that he will always be treated gently and with love.
Kay and Jackie, Nancy, Marie, P.W, Susan, Cheryl, Marilyn, Lisa, Wiaka, Darshana, Vivian, Robert, Doris, Ann, Janet, Nan, Carolion, Luzia, Dee-Dee, Sveta, and Carla.
I am going to pray for each and everyone of you.
Lord Eternal God I come before your presence with humbleness and contrition through Christ Jesus your son, My Savior and older brother and ask that you open arms and heart to all the requests and prayer needs above me and blessing and healing and, he guiding then in whatever their special specifc needs are to your glory as you know best. I ask you help them in resolutions to problems, healing of health and illnesses, For our nation and its healing. For Comfort in sorrow and help in jobs and directions, for restoration of health and medical miracles, For those who are troubled and angry to find you Lord. For direction and purpose and knowing what to do and help them to know your will and seek it. To not look to their own understanding but to wait with patience that you in your time will do what is best for each and every prayer above me.
In Jesus name your will be done, Amen
My requests are these. My daughter needs a much better home for her family and better stable income. My husband and I are having problems with an adjacent landowner and we are on a low income below poverty level and cannot afford a lawsuit but cannot afford to let this man mess with our water and legal water rights, the water shed and other things. He is trying to do including trying to move fence lines of 22 years in place when we bought our home and property. He bought sight unseen and was lied to and didn't have surveys done or go through a realtor. For my son Dan who has had chronic pain since his surgery for scholiosis 17 years ago. He is getting worse and is on Morphine for pain daily but he said it is doing damage to his liver and bowels and needs to find something not so harmful. He said his quality of life is almost nil and he hates it. He is 34 and wants pain to be reduced so he can sleep. He sometimes is awake for 48 hours then sleeps for two days in morphine stupor due to pain. He hates it. For healing of family breaches between my children and with an older son to reconcile and God helps restore the family. For help in jobs for son in law and husband. for my health I have bronchitis and laryngitis right now but also Obese and need to lose weight as I hurt with feet, hips and knees with arthritis daily and fibromyalgia. I have 5 small children in my care 5 days a week and homeschooling 3 of them. Thanks for all the prayers.
My prayer request is an easy delivery for my third and fourth grandchildren. That they live happy and healthy lives.
I pray for a safe delivery and health for your entire family.
I need prayers for business success and increased income. Please give me the strength and energy to reach my goals.
