This time, lets pray for Cat & MJ, Sue and Bridget, Sam & Warren.
Precious Savior,
I personally want to thank You so much for my special friends, Cat, MJ, Sue and Bridget. You have brought these people into my life and I am thankful that I have the privilege of knowing them. I praise You for them and their lives.....
We are so privileged Lord, that we can come to You with our requests, not a list, but with heartfelt requests on the behalf of people we love, because in Christ Jesus our Lord, we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him to Your throne of grace!
For Cat and MJ - we pray that they may not lose heart in any tribulation that may come up against them. We pray that You would guide MJ in finding the perfect job for him, where he can use his talents and where he would also be blessed financially, we ask as MJ writes music that You would also immensely bless him in that direction and that his songs would be heard, played and spread throughout the country for others to sing. We thank You Lord for both MJ's and Cat's voices, as they are so incredibly gifted. Lord help them to see that and not forget who has placed these gifts within them. Open the doors of opportunity wide for them to minister, sing and bless others!
If Cat is to find work, Lord, I pray that she may be blessed with something she will enjoy to do and still be home for their son Mikey, without being exhausted, tired or worn out. Lord grant her strength for every day and give her energy she needs and physical wellness.
We lift up little Mikey too, as he's an anointed child who will be a mighty man of God when he grows up. Keep him focused upon pleasing You, not giving in to pressures around him at school. May he always be a blessing to others and may he be able to be the best student this school has ever had. Help him to have focus, calmness and concentration as he's so young and active. We thank You for this little child and for the indwelling of Your Spirit within him as he already ministers and prays for people! May this gifting and blessing continue to grow - and may he always always honor You in all he does, never lose sight of Who gave him the gift and may his path be straight, so that he won't go to the left or to the right, but follow You in all he does all of his life.
For Sue - we pray Lord for clear direction in the ministry that You have given her. She has such a sweet spirit and such a loving heart and desires to be a blessing to those people You have placed in her life to work with.
Lord, ever since I've known her, she's always been a servant, she's always wanted to help someone, she's involved with a lot of things and finds joy in the calling that You have given her. You have blessed her with working with John in particular and we now pray that You would bring to fruition this calling upon her life as she desires to book John, keep working on his website and be a blessing to him. Please help her to know who to talk to, open the doors, bring people to John's website to contact her for possible concerts or speaking engagements with him. Please guide her to the right contacts or guide the contacts to her. Thank You Lord that she will be a person who others will be comfortable to work with and that she would have the wisdom, knowledge and know how to guide these people in their concert planning and booking.
We thank You that Sue has been such a strength on this message board as well, always involved, always posting and always caring and praying for all of us here. She's truly a blessing and we thank You for her and we pray that You would just bless her mightily because she IS a precious friend to many of us here.
Give her rest as she's on vacation. Help her to relax her mind, get recharged, refocused and help her sort out her own life as she's been through some very tough times. Lord may her heart be filled with joy, instead of sorrow, her mind be focused, instead of confused, her heart be calm, instead of worried and her faith powerfully strong!
I see Sue in this scripture, I Peter 1:22 - Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren fervently love one another from the heart.
Lord, Sue has a fervent love for others, please bless her efforts as she serves you in the capacity as booking agent and webmaster for John and my manager and friend.
Bridget - wow, You've brought a new friend into my life.......thank You, Jesus for her gracious heart and the blessing that she has been to Warren and I personally.
Lord, You have given her a very special gift - writing! You've placed a strong desire in her heart to write John's book. We know that whatever You start - that You will also bring to completion. We know that wherever You guide, You also provide. You started with planting a seed in her heart - a desire to write John's book. You continued birthing this seed with her actually taking a step of faith and beginning to write this book. You furthered this gift by opening the door and her being able to communicate directly with John and Dorla to get the facts right and to have John see the importance of this book and how his and Dorla's testimony will be a blessing to the reader and - change lives!
Lord, You have continued on and guided Bridget to the place where she needs to go to place this book for publishers to look at. Yesterday, Lord God, the first step in publishers looking at it was taken, today 90 more Christian publishers will take a look!
Oh, God, we pray - please, please - let this book title stick out to a publisher so much that they can't help but read it and that they will be so spoken to and will see the vision and will also answer THEIR call in getting this book out and into the hands of those whom You have already ordained to read it - some who may not be saved yet, some who are saved but become disheartened, discouraged or disillusioned, weak in their faith. Lord we pray Your mighty blessings upon Bridgets writings, upon John and Dorla's testimony and upon Your message in this book. Please may Bridget, book and publisher connect as You prepare the way -even now.
For Sam & Warren - Lord it's always harder for me to pray for our needs than the needs of others, but I can pray for my precious husband Warren, whom You have sent into my life and who has been a strength to me, who brought Your kind and loving touch to me and who brings me comfort when my world seems to fall apart.
Lord, we pray for Warren as he is in desperate need of physical strength and wellness. We pray that You would keep him in perfect peace, in perfect health and that You would be his physical strength as he is having to work construction with a bad back and other health problems. We thank You for the ministry opportunities that You have given him as he's come in contact with people he's worked with or worked for who needed a touch from You. Continue to flow through him Lord as You have gifted him with the gift of mercy, careing and counsel.
Lord continue to infill him with Your Spirit and a hunger for You, that he is that blessed man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers but that Warren's delight is in the law of the Lord and in Your law he meditates day and night. That Warren will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does he prospers! We pray that You'd also continue to bless him in his music with his saxophone, that You would provide someone that he can play with or make a track of several songs for him that he can play with as so many people just love his smooth jazz music he loves to play. Please bless Warren with an opportunity for his own CD with this music as it is so soothing and wonderful to listen to. Guide him with the BBQ events that he would like to do this summer - for financial provisions for all the fees, taxes and - the gasoline for us to get there.
For Sam (myself) I pray that my mind would be more focused upon You and that I would not fret so much when things don't seem to go the way I'd like them to. Give me wisdom in the new job that I'm doing at home and good time management so that the music doesn't totally get pushed aside because of the job.
Lord we thank You that You are providing through work and that You would cause Sam & Warren's paychecks to be more than enough and sufficient to pay all current bills on time, get caught up with past due ones and pay off all debt incurred due to last years events that were impacted by the hurricanes.
We thank You Lord for more opportunities that will come about for Psalm 100 Ministries as Sam and Warren seek to please You and are waiting upon You for open doors. We thank You for the contacts already made in Houston and for all the people that have come into their lives to encourage them and be praying friends in their lives. Lord guide them in all that You want them to do and help them to be still and hear from You and wait on You as You already have a plan in motion and Your dream seeds sprouting within them, for this plan to come to fruition and that they will obediently follow the path that You have laid out for them.
