Loneliness

Pray for "lifes a story". http://making-history.blogspot.com/

Peace

Instead of a request I bring forth a prayer.

Father in heaven as we come before you with prayers of thanksgiving and requests I ask that you, in your infintie wisdom and grace grant us peace as we continue to serve you within the redeemer community ans without. LORD i ask for peace amidst the storms of life. I pray for healing. LORD I pray that this site may be an instrament of your love as we share the burdens that we carry with fellow believers.

amen

Gramma Poole

please pray for my gramma (many people at redeemer know her). she fell hard a week ago, breaking her hip and her femur and causing multiple fractures. she had surgery that went quite well, but she still is in a lot of pain. she has a hard time eating too much, and she often talks as if she wants to die now. she was also having doubts (the most steadfast, godly, faithful christian woman was having doubts!) thinking that God was punishing her for not reading her Bible enough, or praying enough or something, and she is just getting more and more incoherent. pray that she will have rest, and regain strength to live. pray that she'll be assured that she is still held in the arms of God, who loves her so much. thanks....

Prayers for Hollywood

Please pray for the missionaries in Hollywood. There are so many Christians working here in Hollywood, and they need our prayers just as much as any missionaries helping those in Africa. If you want to pray for something more specific, you can pray for my church -- Ecclesia Hollywood -- and you can pray for all of the students at LA Film Studies Centre. There are 48 of us here and we're all facing the pressure of being under constant stress as well as learning how to live for Christ here in LA -- very different challenges compared to life back at home. There a couple of the students who are not adjusting that well, so please pray for them as well. Okay that's all for now. Good idea Lstew.

Dawson College

Pray for the wounded students of the Dawson College shooting, some of whom are in critical condition; for the parents of the dead female student; for the parents; for the scared students; for the provincial police in Quebec; for a community that has been violated.

Sickness

A quick prayer request. There are a lot of students who are sick with colds and such right now. Just for prayer to get our strength back to continue with classes and enjoying life at Redeemer.

The First Request

I guess something weighing on me right now is Redeemer clubs and ministries. It seems a little like the few are doing the much - and they are very stretched out. Our school is growing and we need new people to join ministries, teams, clubs and not the people who have always done them - 'new' people. So I guess my prayer would be that God would move strongly in people's hearts to get involved.

The First Post

If you've read and side bar (and you should do that now if you haven't yet) you should have an idea of what is going on here.

I (Lstew) would encourage you to log into blogger using the instructions also located at the side and go ahead post a request (you don't have to leave your name in the post if you don't want to). Also, if you get any sort of answer to prayer that you want to share - well, do that too! If someone's request moves you to encourage them with words you can leave a comment to tell them what has been laid on your heart.

Once this gets rolling I'm anticipating that you'll be able to check back many times a day to view more requests or praises. The ability to post anonamously (all posts will show up as being posted by Prayer) should prevent this from becoming a rumour mill, but a place where we can bare our bruises and seek care.

Oh, and if you have a blog, kindly add this to your blogroll and maybe post about it.

Thanks and Peace,

Lstew
