Starting A New Prayer List

Every Wednesday I am going to be putting up a prayer list. If you have anything you want me and others to pray about leave me a comment here. We need to pray about each of these items daily for the week. We need to come together and pray for each other! I don't know about you all but it sure makes me feel better anyway, knowing that others are out their lifting my/our name up to the Lord!

Here is mine...............
I am still asking prayer for the Lord to send (plenty of) work for Karlton. Times are very rough and scary right now! We are still behind on a few pay checks and He has allot of business related bills that are not getting paid, so we are hearing about those 100x a day. So Please lift our family up in prayer right now. It is a very stressful time!

Now please add your prayer request..........................

We also may be moving so I'm asking for peace for us in our decision making process! Thanks for doing this! Friends who pray together stay together!!; June 10, 2009 at 10:48 PM

Mom (Nana) said...: As always, we are praying for you and Karlton and the kids, and for Karlton's work and bill situation.

I would like to ask you and your friends to remember our other daughter (your sister) Kristine as
she is to have her third child by
"C" section next Wed. June 17, 2009
if she makes it that long. Please pray that everything goes well in all that goes along with having a baby and they will both be very healthy through all of the delivery.

Remember our son, Caleb (your brother). He is going for a job interview a 4:00 today. He is trying to get a better paying job with benefits. We just don't know if this will be the right one.

Love ya'll bunches,

Verses that really spoke to me and helped me get through our adoptions.

(John 14:18) " I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you."

(Isaiah 43:5-6) "Do not be afraid, for I am with you,
I will bring your children from the west. Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth."

(Proverbs 25:25) "As cold water is to a thirsty soul : so is good
news from a far country."

(Matthew 6:25-34) The do not worry chapter.
This is the chapter that told me we would adopt again and the
baby girl woud be named Lily (Lilee). "The lilies of the field".
This is a great reminder of why we should not worry, God will take care of his people!

(Psalms 82: 3-4) "Defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Resue the weak and neady; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

(Psalms 68: 5) "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling."

(Deuteronomy 10:18) " He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow and loves the alien, giving them food and clothing."

(Philippians 4:13) "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."

(Philippians 4:6-7) " Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present
your request to God. And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

(Romans 8:28) " And we know that all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

(James 1:27) "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their destress, and to keep oneself from being polluted from by the world."
