Saturday Prayer Needs are posted
The needs may look like a lot of work, but I have gotten it down to a 'sort of art.' Most of it is just copy. I do want to notify you that I am NOT going to keep trying to run people down for updates, too time consuming, so if you want prayer or changes, let me know. There are a few of you, who are very good at letting me know how it goes, I will ask them for updates, otherwise - it is your responsibility. Sorry, but I just don't have the time.

I've decided to leave OPP. I'm just wasting my time here. First of all, there are not that many members here. I keep seeing the same people, over and over again, and too many of them are rude and clueless. I've found a better site. It's very active and they have an ignore button, so you won't have to put up with a bunch of a-holes. If any of you would like to join me, send me a private message. I'll give you the address. Adios.

Prayer for 3/22/15
When you were young, did you ever break something that you knew really meant a lot to Mommy ? Did you take it to her crying and say "I'm sorry, mommy?" She would take the broken object, look disappointed, put it down, pick you up and tell you to stop crying, that you mean much more to her than the object. You know where this story is going, you know that is an example of the Lord's love for us. When we sin, a serious sin that makes us feel guilty, we will tell the Lord we're sorry, and make an effort to not repeat that type of behavior. We try!
We reach a point in life where we look back over what we have accomplished and where we have failed. We attempt to make a credit and debit account of our life. Too often, and rightfully so, we feel the debits far outweigh any credits, with tears in our eyes, we hand the list to the Lord. He looks at it, and the debit side disappears. He holds us in His arms and tells us He loves us, that we are forgiven, we are His. We should feel the weight of guilt lift from our shoulders, but so often we feel it's still there, dragging along behind us, holding us back.
Satan works very hard to hold us in his grip of guilt. Our guilt is listening to him in the first place, we know he came to steal, kill, and destroy. Now is the time to hand that guilt back to Satan, and tell him that it is his and you are the Lord's. Every day plead the blood of Jesus over you, your family, and your home. Be safe in the arms of Jesus. Satan and his minions flee at the name of Jesus. Keep His name on your lips, and His presence in your heart. He will be happy and you will be forgiven. We pray in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Prayer 3/23/15
Where do you go when you feel lost? Who do you ask for directions? Did you take the Lord with you when you left home today? If you took Him along, then ask Him where you went wrong, and ask Him to lead you to the right road. Does that sound like a bunch of hooey? Try it sometime, He just may surprise you by guiding you in the right direction? He may alert your inner senses back to that turn you missed, or lead you on to the road sign you were looking for. It will take effort on your part to stay in touch with Him, so you can hear His voice.
Let me tell you a true story about a printer I had. It wouldn't print this paper I needed. I tried doing everything I could think of to make it work, all to no avail. Finally, I put my hands on the printer and told the Lord what my need was - I hit 'print' - and yes, it printed my paper. Am I saying that prayer will make the impossible possible - it can, but I would advise you save those times for when it's a necessity. Prayer is an amazing gift, and it works best when you can lift your mind above reason, and just accept the impossible from a gracious and loving Lord.
In our world of reason, we have been taught that we have to know the why and wherefore. In the world of faith, we have to know the God who is within us, we have to know how to reach Him and just believe. There is always an exception, in this case, we have to remember Satan still has the lease over our world. The devil still has control to make things go wrong, and loves it when we blame God. Build your faith and trust in the Lord, rely on your inner senses - He's always there. This we pray in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

What beautiful words as usual! But this time they could have been said to me. I joined opp for a specific reason and had decided I might have not done the right thing. But after reading these words, maybe I'm just impatient. So I will try a little longer. May the wind be forever at your back. God speed! Till we meet on the other side. I will miss your beautiful words.

Should read "might have been the wrong thing"

Prayer for 3/24/15
Happiness is, out of the blue, you hear from an old friend. They contact you and you are filled with joy. How easy it is to please and lift someone's spirits. That is our human reaction, just imagine the Lord's reaction! WOW! The stars seem to twinkle brighter, the sun shines filling the air with its warmth, and the Lord smiles. His thoughts are of joy to hear from a wandering child. We wander and drift apart, then some memory will flicker to the forefront and we wonder where they are, how they're doing. He keeps track of us daily, and looks for contact.
What do we do with our time that is so important we lose track of keeping in touch, not only with each other, but particularly with our Lord? Relationships become light and casual, there is little depth and commitment even in some marriages. They have no time for each other because of their job, or running in different directions with their children's activities, or their own personal interests. Do their children only know them as a chauffeur? If we have no time to know our spouse, or know our children, do we really know our God?
Time becomes such a precious commodity, yet we find so many distractions rather than utilize it to the fullest. We lose track of people and things, but whatever happens in your life, always find your way back to the Lord. He is waiting, patiently He looks for you to steal a few minutes with Him. To take the time, even stolen time, in His presence can make a world of difference in your day. No doubt you have seen this poem before, but it never hurts to be reminded. We bring our prayer in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.
No Time To Pray
I got up early one morning and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish that I didn't have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task,
"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered.
He answered, "You didn't ask."
I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn't show me;
He said, "But you didn't seek."
I tried to come into God's presence;
I used all my keys at the lock;
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child you didn't knock."
I woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray.

Good morning my friends,
It has been awhile since I have been with you. I can tell you this God has taken me from near death and has brought me back amongst the living. I am on half the pain medication and I am actually walking about a block a day. Things that I would never thought would happen again if it wasn't for my belief, love and complete trust in the Lord. He has and still is with me and some days I find myself so over joked that I cry tears of joy that God loves me so much. All the horrible pain that I didn't think I would ever forget, God has already erased it from my mind. I have been so blessed by God that I can only hope that he will bless each and everyone of you who are willing to put your life in God's hands. I still have two more surgeries to go but I have no fear as I have the best I could ever have watching over me. Thank you my God for loving such a sinner as I and walking with me every step of the way. God bless all of you my friends. I hope to communicate with you on a more regular basis as I grow stronger and can use my hands more. In Gods love. Freda
