The Prayer Closet, a daily prayer request thread

Thu May 15, 2008 at 06:30:37 AM PDT

PhotobucketPlease join our community in prayer.  Just leave your prayer requests and pray for the requests of the community. I welcome all people to join in as the power of prayer/good energy is undeniable.

If you have any favorite prayers or passages or quotes or meditations, please send them to me to share, meeshka1@msn dot com

Please do not argue about the requests of others--you may do that elsewhere!!! If you wish to offer comments of support--please do so! If you choose to rate prayer requests, I like to use a "4" as an AMEN! If you disagree with a request, please just refrain from rating--this is a place where people need to feel they can reveal and unburden their hearts without being criticized. Should any trolls come our way, just surround them with prayer.

Prayer requests remain on the list based upon my judgment.  Removing requests is my decision.  I have no hard and fast rules--I simply act when the list seems to get too long or it seems the request no longer applies.  If I take one off which you would like to remain, please simply request it again.  If the request can be removed earlier, please let me know.  I'm sure we all would appreciate an update.

Thank you!

Today's Meditation: thanks to faith.com




Hopi Peace Prayer


'Above all, the powerful weapons that are in your hands will doom the earth into becoming a likeness of the moon. Remember that We too have weapons of a kind that no man on earth can tame.'


Let us Pray in this Important time in History,


Why I Like This Prayer: This prayer couldn't possibly be more pertinent or more needed right now. The Hopi people have been around for ages and yet they have always had the wisdom to apply to what would come in the future.

    the UMC

    Simplexity for calm

    Jeremy

    that the Orphan Rights Bill will not pass in Congress. For this bill to pass would mean imminent disaster for artists like Art Heals and her husband. Our copyrights would be taken and we would have no recourse despite that fact we owned our images. Please, write or pray for our Congresswomen and men to do the right thing and not let our art become a free possession to those who have no ownership in it.

    PRAY for Grayson Mitchell -- pray that a miracle be performed in his life -- one that doctors can't explain. Pray also for his mother, father and brothers.

    bleeding heart's daughter who has contracted a bacterial infection when she had her c-section--treatments may or may not work.

    ladybug's daughter who "just received a diagnosis of hypothryoidism, and has begun medication and already feels a little better.  It totally explains her many health problems (besides the PCOS), and we apologized for blaming her for being a total slacker!
    However, this is coming too late to keep her in her college, what with the many missed classes and undone work due to the many illnesses, exhaustion and depression she has had this past semester.  Probably this condition has been building up over the last 1-2 years, we figure.  Since she turns 19 in June she goes off our health insurance unless enrolled full-time in school -- we don't know what to do!  
    So prayers for her, please, and for me not to worry so much.  And prayers that universal healthCARE will become a reality in our country soon."

    I loaned my book of Buddhist teachings so I can't quote--that leaves me attempting a paraphrse:

    kindness and compassion towards all living things

    this what makes us whole and gives life meaning

    we are not separate from each other
