Prayer central

Hi Everyone,    God is good... and has a sense of humor... or I could just be embarrassing myself.   I got a new iphone but am still learning what to do with it. I flew into NY and been driving south. I am now in S.C. visiting family so I feel like vacation has really started. The last few days I have been writing for the prayer blog but have discovered that I can't send out my emails... but I now can use friends computers again.  So a brief on some of the prayers I have been writing..... Woke up @ 1AM in a motel in VA feeling the need to pray Thurs night. Thank you Lord for providing the Holy Spirit to intercede when I don't know what to pray!  I opened my email and saw Patti's update on the candidates. Thank you Lord for giving our church such devoted volunteers for these interviews and providing the right person to become a new member of our education leadership. We all look so forward to what you have in store for us and him or her. Also Lord, you know who else needs a special prayer tonight. Thank you for giving them the answers, comforting them, protecting and guiding them. And I trust your timing since I'm having trouble sending outgoing email. The people who see this prayer will know you have not forgotten them.   The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart and saves those with a contrite spirit.  I went to a Baptist Church today. We all opened our Bibles for the sermon. The Lord is powerful and present in all places. The words from His mouth will not return empty but will accomplish what God desires and will achieve the purpose for which God has determined. God sends us out in joy and He leads us forth in peace. We are in the hands of Jesus who is enclosed in the hand of God and sealed by the Holy Spirit. AMEN. Can you feel that protection? We are present, in the place we are supposed to be because God has a plan for us, to give us a hope and a future. HE is preparing us for HIS purpose. So be still and know that GOD is GOD. We don't always know if the good we are in will be bad or if the bad we are in will be good so praise GOD anyway. Don't ever grow weary of doing good, perseverance is motivated by God's provision.  

   SO... keep praying and praising God... and absolutely know you are welcome to send in your prayers to Sheri so we can all share... or send to me if you would like to be included in these "all together" prayers. Blessed be HIS name.
