IN PRAYER

Lord, I almost don't know where to begin. So many many of you have stepped into the gap for me when I barely had the strength to push and pull air. As I said before their are days when you gather mustard seeds and days when you lend them. Today is a lending, planting, watering kind of day.

Today I am asking you all to join together with me as I pray not for myself but for the world at large and the many friends around me who are just going through it.

I know how devistating it is to loose loved ones, be on the cusp of bad health, have relationships crumble around me.  So as my one friend said... THIS IS ME ....STANDING IN THE GAP...TURNING MY POCKETS OUT SO THAT ALL THE MUSTARD SEEDS I'VE SELFISHLY HORDED CAN BE SHARED...

I am asking all my friends, family and fans to join me in prayer...for those around us and for ourselves. When believing people pray-----

James 5:16

King James Version (KJV)
 16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Father I know You've heard my cries, and the cries of those around me. We need a healing now Lord.  I come to you not only at the side of those who are even in this moment turning their hearts to you, but I come in place of those who can't even find the strength. Somewhere  the pain is too much, the cross seems too heavy and I am asking you Lord to breathe a salve into the farthest reaches. Spread your healing and love around those in need right now. Help them to see that they are not alone, never alone and even though these moments are dark, and the night seems so very long, joy comes in the morning. Its ok to cry right now...its ok to feel hurt and anger right now, release that now so that they can make room for the peace, for the joy. Father we know here in these moments that the deeper it stings the greater the relief. The lower we are brought the higher we will ascend. And I thank you now Lord, because I feel the rainstorm coming.  And I will not rush to find and umbrella or rubber boots: I'm gonna turn up my face and hands and dance.  For you are faithful.
And I praise your Lord, for keeping us. Even when we forget to keep ourselves, to keep each other.
Amen.
