GOOD MORNING ALL.

I AM HEADED OUT TO WALK. WHILE I AM WALKING WILL BE LISTENING TO THIS PRAY AND PRAYING IT FOR ALL OF YOU. ITS BY BISHOP TD JAKESOur


Father and our God. We left up to you the needs of our sisters, our mothers even our brothers.

We come to you because we know that you are able to see them through every test, every trial every dilemma , every crisis.

For every night they cried laid in agony wondering what to do, where to go, who can I talk to.

We come to you asking for mercy in the hospital room, mercy in the court room mercy in the boardroom , mercy in the bedroom and mercy for every room in corner, every apt. ,every condo, every village every mansion. .

My God let your grace abound.

Some Mama is on her knees her son is in jail,

Some wife is in turmoil her marriage is going through hell.

God in the name of Jesus let your rich grace bombarded them.

Overshadow them and lift them up cause them to know that you are there in the furnace of their affliction
you are their in the mist of their agony
you are there when lights are low and crowds are thin when the challenge seems so formidable and almost impossible.

My God let them know you are their strength to climb mountains that will not move that you are the boat that forge streams when rivers wont disparate. You are the grace that stands up and empowers them to stand forces of hell that come against them..

We bind every sickness every disease every burden every trauma that rise up again them

And we command liberty to break forth let it rush down like gushing streams, prevailing in their lives to give them the grace and the fortitude to stand when having done all to stand let them stand with their loins girthed about with truth, their helmet of salvation and the breastplate of righteousness

I thank you for angels flapping their wings and grace bombarding them. Send strength; send light send help send love

Send beauty for ashes and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness

And lift up hedge everywhere this prayer is heard.

I thank you your miracle worker, you bridge builder, you heavy load sharer you heart fixer you mind regulator.

I trust you now to move supernaturally in the lives of your people.

Someone is expecting a miracle.
Someone is expecting a breakthrough. I thank you now I call it done.

The impossible. the things in their lives that seem that will never change I call it done today in Jesus Name We receive it all. Amen.

I PRAY IT BLESSES SOMEONE.

LOVE,
JILL

Baby--- 12 step programs are an excellent way to find the spiritual beliefs that work for you. It took me a while to get comfortable with praying. One thing that worked for me in the beginning is to find a place out side where you can be alone and feel the power of Mother Nature. It's hard to look at the ocean or the stars and not feel that there is something bigger than you out there. Just experiencing that feeling may be all you can do for now. You don't have to name it or define it in the beginning, just experience it. But chances are that if you seek a connection, one of your very own, you will find it. The first prayer I ever really felt comfortable with was a simple heart felt "thank you" when I felt that I had experienced something positive. It has grown from there. Good luck on your spiritual journey.

Baby- never apologize for being honest. You never know who you may help by voicing your questions and you never know where you may find help. I'm glad you are here and NO I certainly don't think you are not a nice person.

Hi Inhousecouncil
Thank You
Sitting Here With Tears In My Eyes

Many Thanks
Jean
Take Care Xx

Hi Jill, we love it when you take the beautiful prayer walk and then you come here to share it with us. That was really beautiful.

Baby, you do pray without you even knowing it, you pray. It all has to do with what you feel on the inside. Just believe and never give up hope because their is a higher being that looks after people as yourself.

Hey baby.... I am so sorry if my post offend you or anyone else. It was meant to bless others. I agree that in AA you have to believe in something, so cling to anything. They say, "Fake it to you make it".

My desire on this site is to bless. If I can help one person feel better than I am happy.

You are A NICE PERSON JUST A HURTING MAMA. NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT YOU ARE THINKING OR FEELING. That is why we are here.

Love, Jill

hi jill
you didnt affend me
your post was beautifull
its just me
there must be someone up there watching over me
helping me get through these terrible times
oh im hopeless at expressing myself
sorry

Thank you for sharing the prayer, Jill. We know there's not one person here who is not expecting a miracle and a breakthrough--I know I am! And, I, too, declare it done!

Jean, prayer is simply talking to God. You can call Him "friend"! When I first became a Christian (and for a long time after that), I could not pray out loud or in front of others. I was afraid I'd stumble over my words or not do it "right." Plus, my relationship to the Lord is very personal. But, you know what? It doesn't matter what you say or how you say it. God is relational. I used to take long walks (need to start again :)) and that was my very best time with the Lord. I would thank Him for the birds, the blue sky, the breeze, and I would pour my heart out to Him about anything and everything. The Bible says if you seek Him, you will find Him. Before I really believed, I would pray, "God, if You're real, then make me believe." You know what, He did! It was years later, but it happened. And, the best years of my life have followed. Yes, we've gone through years and years of heartache with our sons. BUT, because of Him, I can face tomorrow (as a song goes). He is my hope, my peace, my strength. I will be praying that the Lord reveals Himself to you in a very real way.

Sorry to carry on. Jesus is Lord of my life. I have to give Him the glory and the honor He's due.

With blessings and prayers,

babyblueeyes,
Believing is right. You don't have to have special words to talk to God. You are praying when you just talk to him. That's the way I pray most. I just tell Him what I feel. He knows what's in your heart . I ask Him to watch over my son in prison & let him feel His love. He does love us. So much that He sent his son to die for our sins so that we can be saved. I just had to take this opportunity to witness for our savior & Lord, Jesus Christ. I don't know how I could live if I didn't think of God as my heavenly father. We don't understand everything, but God knows all. Sometimes, I feel like I need a hug from God & I just remember how good & comforting it feels to have a warm blanket around my shoulders when I'm cold. Explain to God just how you feel & how you would like to feel about Him & He will understand & give you an answer. It may not be an answer that you can see. Most of the time with me, it is a quite peace in my heart & that is what all us mom's need. I don't mean to preach, but I really want you to know you are never alone. You were baptized in a Catholic Church, so you know who Jesus is. Just say "Lord Jesus, come into my heart. I make You Lord of my life." You may have already done that a long time ago. Just please talk to God in your own words . It will help you so much to get thru this time in our lives. Bless you.
Jill that was a wonderful inspiring post. Shelly

"Amen" to everything you said, Shelly.

Baby--- 12 step programs are an excellent way to find the spiritual beliefs that work for you.

It's hard to look at the ocean or the stars and not feel that there is something bigger than you out there..
Hi Jean,
Your honesty has really touched me.
As Texas has said " you are praying without knowing it"
and as Believing said " praying is TALKING to God"
and Davidsmoninva was giving a "blessing"

At one time I lived in a city that was only 1 mile from the Atlantic ocean.
When things got really bad for me and I needed somewhere to go to "feel God's presence ( all the churchs around were closed except Sundays), I went to the ocean and as Inhousecounsel said, " feel that there is something bigger than you out there"

To be honest also. I do not go to any "church" at this time. Some people might say that is terrible but I have my reasons.
Anyone that knew me as a very young girl knew that I wanted to be a nun in the Catholic church. But God had other plans for me. My "vocation" as they used to call it, was to be a MOTHER.
I can see now after all these years ( 60yrs) that is what God wanted be to be.
Yes, I have experienced some of the worse mental pain from having a son go to prison. But I have also had some of the greatest blessings that God could bestow on a person because I am the mother of three "children of God"
I had been getting most of my "spiritual" connection from the 12 step fellowships.
But since I have been coming to this web site of the PTO, I feel so much closer to God from all the wonderfull people that I have met here.
The power of prayer is so powerfull on this site.

Three months ago when I was crying day and night, I asked God to help me out of the pain and He answered me. I found this site and all my new friends. I started to feels better right away. I no longer felt all alone
Jean, you are so welcomed here.:)

thank you everyone
you all have been so kind
im so glad for this site

but when im on here i feel different
contented when i read your posts
dont know why i just do
thank you for your support
hope am making sence lol

Babyblueeyes,
I have just said a prayer for your son & you. Alanon is good & keep reading the Holy Bible. My son has been in prison 2 yrs. this time. He was in for 5 yrs. earlier. I haven't seen or heard his voice for over a yr. We keep in touch with letters as the phone calls are so expensive. He will be in another 3 yrs. before he can make parole. His problem is drugs when he is on the outside. Prayer is the only advice I can give you that helps. I pray that God will give you & your son peace in your heart. Keep reading & praying. Shelly

thank you shelly
my son phones 1s a week
we get a visit 1s a month
my heart goes out to you
not seeing your son
you kmow i miss and love him very much but can cope a bit better when i dont hear his voice or see him
thats the worst time as soon as i her his wee voice a fall to pieces, and on the way home from visits i get depressed.
i will say a little prayer for you and your son tonight.
promise i will

Thank You Babyblue eyes,
I understand very well what you mean by coping better when you don't see him. When My son was in prison before, he called every Sunday morning. After his call, I would be so depressed. I would just be getting over it & it was time for him to call again. There wasn't a lot to talk about, but he didn't seem to want to hang up. Like maybe he just wanted to keep the line open as a contact with us even if we ran out of conversation. He was the one who suggested that we communicate by letters this time around & I am glad. God knows the future so maybe He will work everything out for the good for our sons. Hope so. Thanks for the prayer. Shelly

Hi Shelly,
It is nice to hear from you again. How are you doing? I hope the year 2007 brings you peace.
