Please keep this ebola situation in your prayers. The two nurses who contracted the disease from a patient they were caring for are still in the news. One is doing ok, the other not so ok. Ebola has and is affecting thousands in Africa. America is blessed not to have had to deal with it till now but now it is here on our shores. I am praying that God put His hand on this situation for a cure and healing for those who have the disease.

May God bless you and keep you today

Today let's be in prayer for:

~our children and youth of America, that God will grant them protection of body, soul, mind and spirit and fill them with godly desires and true hope.

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Eph 6:10-18 

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much

James 5:16 

And, let's please add the nurses who have come down with the ebola virus that they got from a man they were caring for. and for this nation in this crisis.

I know, the booklet said this would only take about 5 minutes a day and I keep adding things. Sorry. Had, had, had to put in the whole armour of God this morning-I needed that passage badly for myself and "All Mine". 

God bless you and keep you this Thursday and always

31 DAYS OF PRAYER-OCTOBER 15-IOWA AND KANSAS

What a difference a few minutes of prayer can make. I know it is making a difference in my own life, in my own peace of mind. That peace comes from knowing that God can and will take care of everything if we just turn it over to Him. This 74 year old, great, grandmother can do nothing about the disasters in this world but pray for them I cannot protect "All Mine" as they go out into this world that is becoming more evil with each day that passes but I can put them in God's hands each morning.

Today is October 15, 2014

Let's be in prayer today for:

~the leaders, churches and Christians of Kentucky and Louisiana

~a spiritual awakening across the nation, that the Gospel would be communicated across the full spectrum of American society and that people of all ages, races and backgrounds would be drawn to Christ and receive His life and salvation.

~ADDING: the new victims of ebola, those who have contracted the disease from taking care of other patients

 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

Mark 1:35 

May God bless you and keep you today

How time flies. Only 2 1/2 months left in this year. And how much time do any of us have left in our lifetime? Years? Months? Weeks? Days? Hours? MINUTES? Thank you for taking this few minutes to pray for our country.

Today let's all pray for:

~the leaders, churches and Christians of Illinois and Indiana.

~candidates for public office, that they would be moved by God to seek what is honorable, just and moral.

2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

31 DAYS OF PRAYER FOR AMERICA-DAY 6-OCTOBER 12, 2014

Sunday morning-another day of nothing but bad news-A smoke bomb thrown at people in the subway in New York, Isis is marching on Iraq and Kobani-such evilness and it is fast invading our shores. We need to so keep our minds and hearts on our God. 

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Phil 4:6-8

Today, I will be attending a memorial service for my former sister-in-law, Rita. I am praying for nephew, Randy and his family, in the loss of his mother. She and I are the same age-kind of makes one think, doesn't it? Am I doing all I am supposed to be doing? Am I procrastinating on things that need to be done?
