A Weekend Of Rest & Peace

[K-J]

This has been a very tough week for me - emotionally, spiritually, physically, financially - and I know I am not alone simply by reading the other requests on the board. I praise our God and Father for all of the past, present and future blessings in my life...whether they have come through joyous, happy times, or trials and tribulations. I cannot thank Him enough for considering me worthy enough to be refined, to be cherished, to be saved. As the weekend closes in, I simply pray for a time of peace and rest with the Father - a chance to hear His voice and feel His presence. I pray the same for all who are burdened and weary. Come to the living water and be still. How could I ask for more? In Christ - KJ

There's nothing like the warmth of a summer afternoon

Waking to the sunlight, and being cradled by the moon

Catching fireflies at night

Building castles in the sand

Kissing Mama's face goodnight

Holding Daddy's hand

Thank you Lord, how could I ask for more

Running barefoot through the grass

A little hide and go seek

Being so in love, that you can hardly eat

Dancing in the dark, when there's no one else around

Being bundled 'neath the covers, watching snow

Fall to the ground

Thank you Lord, how could I ask for more

So many things I thought would bring me happiness

Some dreams that are realities today

Such an irony the things that mean the most to me

Are the memories that I've made along the way

So if there's anything I've learned

From this journey I am on

Simple truths will keep you going

Simple love will keep you strong

Cause there are questions without answers

Flames that never die

Heartaches we go through are often blessings in disguise

So thank You Lord, oh thank You Lord

How could I ask for more?

My Father, it has been a tough week but we are thankful for You that we didn't go through it alone, thanks for being there with us, You are our living water. I pray for each of us this weekend to open our hearts and to hear You speaking to us, comforting us through the trials we may be going through. I pray for K-J and her husband to feel Your peace surrounding them, a peace we cannot explain, just one that comes from knowing You and standing on Your promises. Thank You for the promise we have in knowing we are Your children, and that is something that cannot be taken from us. In Jesus' name, Amen.

[K-J]

Father, I pray for Your continual presence in our lives. Make us stand up and recognize the blessings all around us, the gentle ways in which You coax and nudge our spirits in Your direction, the sacrifice that was made for our eternal salvation. Make us more aware of Your living presence each day. In Jesus' name, send down Your presence, we want to see Your face. Amen.
