Wall Of Prayer

Pray that their eyes be open to the uncool kids around them. That cool doesn’t mean hip it means rebellious.

Now that deosn’t mean cool is bad just a starting point to evil.

Pray that they can incorperate every kid into their lives.

(TSS another update up soon)

I don’t know if this is the appropriate time to post this, but I feel the urge to say this.

Try this, and think of it as a mind-opener or something like that.

For one day, for as much as you can, think of life and the world around us as works of art. Of beautiful, wonderfully created art. Examples include:
-Sunrise/sunset
-Snowflakes (that is, if you see any)
-Color changing on leaves
-The tall trees in a forest and the animals that dwell in it
-The lovely flowers and their special scents, in a garden or wild
-The great, big oceans, with the many many many amazing creatures that live in it
-The clouds, wispy or fluffy, like soft pillows and paintings in the sky. Use your imagination as you see the many shapes they can take
-The bright, glowing moon at night, full or cresent
-The stars, tiny but breathtaking nonetheless. Like little sparkling dots sprinkled over the sky.
-A rainbow. Colors ordered and arched like a magical bridge
-At the beach, see the many grains of sand, the seashells that are left on shore. Smooth and rough and in different shapes and sizes.
-Rocks, boring most of the time, but each one unique if you examine them closely.
-The huge mountains, hills, and landscapes.
-Spiders, knowing to be patient and make almost-invisible, delicate webs without anyone teaching them
-The rain, sounding like drumrolls on the roof and falling like miniature confetti from the sky. Snow, just the same, but quieter and cooler.
-The many different colors and cultures of people of the world.

And the list goes on. Look around and see the beauty of the world, like a
carefully created work of art.

Then, the next day, pay attention to detailed science. Look through a microscope if you have one, a telescope if you have one. Notice the ways how everything is functioning perfectly.
-The itty bitty cells and atoms each build up to be something, and they work so well even for something as microscopic as they are.
-The way our Solar System works. The planets revolving around the sun, and the planets’ rotations and the moons revolving around the planets- seems like a subway station to me.
-Photosynthesis, how the plants turn energy into their food.
-People and animals, how every part of the bodies, inside and out, have specific functions and benefits. Microevolution and adaptation, which help creatures change with their environment and time.
-The water cycle, going on and on, working so well.
-Even beyond Earth and our Solar System. Look at the stars and just imagine the planets that might revolve around some of them, very very very far away.
-Erosion, small changes every day for rocks, minerals, and others. Very slowly, things taking new shapes…
-Rainbows are pretty, and you know the science behind it, right? Yet, still, the science structuring something so colorful, and so vivid, is astounding. Yes, I know how they form, but I also feel amazed that something like that could appear at all.
-Ants and bees, no matter how much people can’t stand them, I think they are really good at cooperation and teamwork. And they also help keep some balance in nature.

And so on.

Either way I look at the world, as pure beauty or as the science in it, I still acknowledge a designer behind it all. The Creator set the laws of science for it to work as if a factory, a well-working invention, and put an artistic touch into it for us to be impressed.

Praise the Lord for it!
Thank you, God, for the wonders of the world. :smiley: Please give us and all people the wisdom to take good care of the Earth. Amen.

Please pray for the Newman family, as they’re in mourning. Paul Newman has passed away. :cry:

Oh God…help our economy. If its your plan let us fail but please don’t let us fall…Our economy is bad. 777 points down is the dow jones…God please help us!

I don’t see my future anymore God!
I don’t see the light anymore from America…

I pray that you see our suffering and bring us a new beginning that sets America back up…

I’M SCARED…seriously guys i’m scared!!!

It is looking really bad, but I thnk that we can pull through out of this.

We have no reason to be worried about Depression II, which is coming, because it will be a time to bring us closer to God. In fact, it could be an excellent time to have a Third Great Awakening.

I’m praying for you, Al, that you won’t be scared, and that God will protect you and your family.

My advice: Get a small home with only your “necessities” (and no, that does not include a car) and keep going to church. When Depression II comes, remember that you have your family, and most of all, that you have Jesus. :wink:

I agree. We just need a good plan. You know, it is not our fault that gas prices are so high. It just that the middle east price gas high. All we really need is to get away from depending on the middle east for fuel and we’ll get rid of that problem, and after that the economy will undoubtedly get better.

That is only a step. LOWering gas prices is one thing that, but other stuff must be done as well.

Lower taxes…help the economy by letting americans spend more by lowering taxes.

I think it was really well done- it got me close to tears.

Okay…i’m feeling really confident that the world is getting closer to the end. I’m totally getting scared out of my wits with this national bank and curency deal. AHHHHH!!! Its like God himself came down to the United Nations on friday and said, “Make a national bank so that I can end the world now!”

I’m truly becoming a sick twisted freak…that is me.

But this is the wall of prayer so i will attempt to encourage readers through the scriptures and through my whimpy brain…

Even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil.

Haaaa…that feels better. Just read that slowly please…let its slip in. No matter what we go through we always will have someone watching over us all the time. (no not Obama)

With the economic crisis encouragement is crucial…here’s a story i have been granted to share;

[i]What do you think when you hear the word hero? Do think Superman or Batman? What makes a person a hero? Is it super powers, cool gadgets, or is it the costume? Well to explain what I think makes a person a hero let me tell you a little bit of my life.

Before I was born the doctor told my mom that she should have an abortion; in other words kill me. The doctors said I would be born abnormal and have all types of problems, but my mom told the doctor no and I was born completely normal. My mom is a hero because she basically saved my life.

Later on in life, around the time I was about five or six years old, I asked Christ to come into my life and He did. God is actually more then a hero because He created me and He saved me from my sins. As I got older I started being a better Christian and started serving others. But as time went on I started feeling depressed because I felt like I was a slave; it seemed as if I was always stuck doing everything for everyone else. Then one-day between the ages ten and thirteen I tried to kill myself. I took a knife out and was going to plunge it into my heart but my dad walked into the kitchen and told me suicide was not the answer. We talked for a while and after the talk I realized my dad was right -my life is not my own. I am bought with a price and that price is the cost of Christ dying on the cross. I am made in God’s image and I am also one of his adopted sons. My dad is a hero because he saved my life and helped me through my depression.

After a little while I met people who cut themselves, do drugs and tons other things that are just so horrible to hear about and I realized I wanted to help these people; I wanted to be a hero. I didn’t realize it at the time but I was already a hero having fought with depression and having defeated it day after day. So I helped these people and some changed and others didn’t but I know that God is taking care of them. One day a friend of mine asked me for a clean slate. How many of you want a clean slate? I do and guess what! I got it and so can you! Just ask God to forgive you and He will. Ask Him for strength and He will give it to you so that you can forgive yourself. My challenge for you is to stop doing what you’re doing that is wrong; stop cutting yourself, stop doing drugs, and stop doing whatever else I forgot to mention. Ask for forgiveness and then forgive yourself. I know it’s hard. I have struggled with it many times but it’s the greatest thing to be free from sin and to really know that in your heart that you are forgiven. If you’re still struggling write down your sins on a piece of paper and burn it.

If you ever need some one to talk to you can always talk to me. I’m here to help you not to hurt you but remember God has always been there for you and He is there for you now and always will be there for you so turn to Him first because He never fails. While others sadly can fail you God won’t ever fail you for He is God almighty the One True God. Last thing I have to say is I believe each of you are a hero in one way or another and if you don’t think that you are then go out there be a hero and help your friends or other people you know who are hurting inside.

Jeremiah 29:11-13
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”[/i]

It is, in fact, true that Conner, the boy who died in my school, committed suicide because of bullying.

I pray the bullys relize and repent their sins and he is now in heaven.

Amen…

I pray that people here in the U.S. will not panic and choose the right candidate for the oval office.

Rac_rules: because of that, I pray for everyone who has bully troubles, hoping they can get through it without killing themselves.

Rac_Rules: May Conner be in a better place, and other troubled kids like him keep themselves from suicide. I hope whoever had bullied him in the past repents.

Did anyone see the video in the link I posted earlier? I really liked that skit and the meaning behind it, even though there were no words.

The world is full of turns and u-turns. Life throws us curveballs and sometimes screwballs. We can choose to look up at God and say WHY!!! or we can look up at God and say…Your Choice. You Will.

If you have seen Fireproof (A Christian Movie) the man is about to get a divorce and the end is in sight. His dad comes over to talk to him and they set out on a walk. As they start to walk they come upon a church outdoors camping site. As the man explains how selfish and sinful and unexceptable his wife it towards him his dad walks over to the cross and says. “Maybe that is how God felt?” We were unexceptable and selfish and sinful but he chose us despite all of these problems…why did he? Why would he?

BDD-I will be praying for you and for Dillion. Dillion’s death is a sign that life is short, bully’s don’t understand the problem they bring, and hiow much we need to save people who would do such things to others.

I would like to encourage you to pray for this bully and even try to become a “good friend to him”. Most likely he hasn’t ever had a good friend. And be careful bully’s can sometimes create other bullys.

If you have any questions just pm me…i’m here to help.

I pray for wboon…that he may disclose his feelings and problems in a way that will effect no one.

I also pray for Soue1313…that his broken toe may heal and not require surgery.

I think the term you were looking for is “affect,” Al-Bob… ~o~" But thanks, anyway. :wink:

:-\ .... :)

Your are welcome…
