Prayer Requests
STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN
Signs Of Life
Let Us Pray
I hear you say your heart is aching
You've got trouble in the making
And you ask if I'll be praying for you please
And in keeping with conviction
I'll say yes with good intentions
To pray later making mention of your needs
But since we have this moment here at heaven's door
We should start knocking now, what are we waiting for?
[CHORUS]
Let us pray, let us pray, everywhere in every way
Every moment of the day, it is the right time
For the Father above, He is listening with love
And He wants to answer us, so let us pray
So when we feel the Spirit moving
Prompting, prodding and behooving
There is no time to be losing, let us pray
Let the Father hear us saying
What we need to be conveying
Even while this song is playing, let us pray
And just because we say the word, "Amen"
It doesn't mean this conversationi needs to end
Let us pray, let us pray, everywhere in every way
Every moment of the day, it is the right time
Let us pray without end and when we finish start again
Like breathing out and breathing in, let us pray
Let us approach the throne of grace with confidence
As our prayers draw us near
To the One who knows our needs
Before we even call His name
[CHORUS]
Let us pray everywhere in every way
Every moment of the day, it is the right time
Let us pray without end and when we finish start again
Like breathing out and breathing in, let us pray
Are you distressed? disturbed? sick? burdened and depressed?
Allow us to pray with you and let
God and the healing power of Jesus Christ
enter your life. Simply email your prayer request to us.
Remember with God nothing is impossible.
May the unchanging God bless you and keep you always.
" KNOW THAT THE LORD IS GOD. IT IS HE WHO MADE US,
AND WE ARE HIS; WE ARE HIS PEOPLE,
THE SHEEP OF HIS PASTURE. ENTER HIS GATES WITH
THANKSGIVING AND HIS COURTS WITH PRAISE; GIVE
THANKS TO HIM AND PRAISE HIS NAME. FOR THE
LORD IS GOOD AND HIS LOVE ENDURES FOR EVER;
HIS FAITHFULNESS CONTINUES THROUGH
ALL GENERATIONS."
( PSALM 100:3-5 )
The Full Version of the Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the Serenity
To accept the things I cannot change...
Courage to change the things I can,
And Wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His will.
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen.
Dear God..
I want to know
Exactly how to Pray.
I need some Words
Which ones are right?
Please tell me what to Say.
I've Bowed my Head
I have Knelt down,
But ... should I be Upright?
I've Closed my eyes,
I've Raised my hands,
Or ... should I Fold them tight?
Do I stand up?
Should I sit down?
Dear Lord ... what do You like?
Are Lights turned On
Or are they Off?
Maybe ... Candle Light?
Wear my Glasses?
Take them off?
Be at my desk or table?
Should I Whisper?
Speak out loud?
Do I quote the Bible?
What do You think
About the Time?
Do You prefer the Dawn?
Should I Pray Fast,
Or keep it Slow?
Better Short ... or Long?
I'm New at this
What are the Rules?
I want to do it Right.
How do I know
You'll even hear
That I am in Your sight?
And while I sat there quietly,
Waiting for some sign,
I Heard a Gentle Voice Say
"Oh, dearest Child of Mine ...
Do you think I really care
About the Time of day,
Or whether you are Standing up,
Or Kneeling when you Pray?"
"I don't care about your Posture,
Or about the Place you choose;
Just open up your Soul to me,
I have no other rules.
Tell Me what is in Your Heart,
And tell me what you Seek;
Tell me of your Sorrows,
And of those things that made you weak."
"Speak to me in Private
About what concerns you most;
I know about your Good Deeds ...
You have no need to boast.
My Child, You don't need Lessons,
Just Talk to Me each day;
Tell Me Anything you want, dear child,
Anyone can PRAY."
BLESSING ALWAYS SHAN 
ON THE WINGS OF PRAYER
Just close your eyes and open your heart,
And feel your worries and cares depart.
Just yield yourself to the Father above,
And let Him hold you secure in His love.
For life on earth grows more involved,
With endless problems that can't be solved,
But God only ask us to do our best,
Then He will take over and finish the rest...
So when you are tired, discouraged and blue,
There is always one door that is open to you,
And that is the door to The House of Prayer,
And you'll find God waiting to meet you there.
And The House of Prayer is no further away,
Than the quiet spot where you kneel and pray.
For the heart is a temple when God is there
As we place ourselves in His loving care.
And He hears every prayer and answers each one
When we Pray in His name - Thy will be done.
The burdens that seemed too heavy to bear
Are lifted away on the wings of a prayer.
IN CHRIST SHAN
