Daily Prayers:
My family, both those that do walk with the Lord and those that don't. (65 total)
Prayer Warriors, for both prayer groups that meet. (29 total)
Prayed for Salvation Praying Group to grow to 12 people by the end of 2018.
Prayed for the Power Hour Praying Group to grow to 24 people by the end of 2018.
Prayed for average church attendance to grow to 150 people by the end of 2018.
Today I will be going to the church for the Salvation Praying Group and pray over 205 that are lost.
Prayed for 40 people in our church body.
Prayed for myself: forgiveness for being a chatterbox last night; wisdom and direction.
Praises and Blessings:
I am so thankful that my friends Brad and Pat came to Tenebrae last night.
Thankful for Rhonda, a new friend from the Praying for Lebanon Group came last night too!
Praising the Lord that Brad has had such an improvement in his health.
Thankful that another dear couple has said they are going to come to the next Life Track Series.
Thankful that blessing that my sister and her husband took me to lunch yesterday for my birthday.
Thankful that I was blessed with over 150 birthday wishes! I am so blessed thank you!
Bible Reading:
I am reading in 1 Corinthians and today I was able to get to verse 9 in chapter 1. It says, "God is faithful ...". I am going to make it, you are going to make it, not because of anything within myself or within you, but because if I walk with Him, if you walk with Him we are held by His right hand! So if I slip He is faithful to still be holding on to me.
Book Reading:
"Listening for God" by Marilyn Hontz
Still reading in chapter 8 ... pages 104 through 108 talks about prayers of relinquishment.
"Thy will, not mine, be done.' The sweetest lesson I have learned in God's school is to let the Lord chose for me." D.L. Moody
I can relinquish people and things. I have seen this in action in my life! Trust God and be sure He is first in your life and He will so amaze you day after day!
My Call to Action Today:
I need to think about every person, emotion and thing in my life and be sure I am placing God above all. I place all my hopes, desires, friends, material things, fears, everything with God knowing and trusting that He will chose the best for me.
Have a blessed day!

New Beginnings
I am going to reopen this page and try to post daily and be more accountable.
Daily Prayers:
This morning I prayed for each member of my family (65).
I prayed for the 29 prayer warriors that attend the prayer groups at church. This includes Pastor Sheridan, who gets an extra portion of prayer daily because of the huge target on his back.
I pray for a list of 205 people that are not following the Lord, by name every day.
There are over 200 people in my church family and I prayed over 40 this morning and try to do that each day so that by the end of the week they have each been prayed for at least once.
Bible Reading:
I read until something pops off the page to me. Today I started 1 Corinthians and got to 1:1 ... A man by the name of Sosthenes is working with Paul. But if you read in Romans Sosthenes led the Jews against Paul but they were all thrown out. The Jews became angry with Sosthenes and beat him ... so something must have happened to convert Sosthenes.
That story all in one little verse reminds me that there will be people out there that will give me a hard time about my faith and my walk with the Lord. BUT they might be the very ones that the Holy Spirit is convicting and the enemy is fighting for them ... but they might be right on the verge of conversion ... never give up on anyone.
Book Reading:
I am reading "Listening for God" by Marilyn Hontz. I am in chapter 8 and there is so much information but on pages 101-102 it talks about the "burden of prayer". Sometimes you feel a need to pray for someone or something - it might even wake you up at night. Do it and do it until that feeling goes away even if there does not seem to be an answer. She talks about an experience where they needed a worship leader and her call to pray ... coincidence? I think not!
My call to action today:
I felt led to post a "Sinners Prayer" invitation today. I did it on my facebook page ... this is when the enemy often puts in my mind "Who do you think you are?" But I do anyway , because I think some of those thoughts have to be from God.
I am excited about Tenebrae Service tonight, especially because my friends Pat and Brad will be joining me! So I am off to fix my portion of the meal for tonight!
Have a blessed day!
