PRAYER
Father, I will look for occasions to bring healing, to strengthen and bless others. I purpose to do good every time it is possible. I will not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of my hand to do so. If my enemy is hungry, I will feed him; if he is thirsty, I will give him a drink. In the name of Jesus, I will overcome evil with good. Amen.
Scripture Readings Proverbs 3:27; Romans 12:20-21
This daily prayer is written by Germaine Copeland, author of the Prayers That Avail Much family book
Heavenly Father, I come before you with a humble heart asking for healing for Denise and her husband; Joanne Heim, her husband, Toben and their daughters, for Alleluiabele's husband and hersel; for Elaine, Billy and their family; Heather Joy; Valerie's husband; Lisa Shaw and her husband; for Kelly's Mom, my husband who is having an attack of the Meniere's disease right now and healing for myself. Father, you know each of the people listed by name, what they need in their lives and even the number of hairs on their head which is a comfort to me and a comfort for all listed that they are in Your care and will answer their prayers as well as those written here. I know this from experience because you have healed me and spared my life several times and I know you will do the same for these dear people who love you. I come against the one who is causing all the problems that he will take his hands off each person named because they are covered by the blood of Jesus and you cannot cross that blood line. In the name of Jesus flee from each one now. Thank you Father for giving us the authority to pray for our dear sisters and brothers in the name of your Son.
We give you the honor and the glory for all that you are doing even as I write this prayer. I love you Father and thank you for the privilege of being able to pray for each one. Amen and Amen.
Thank you for being on stand-by and making yourself available for emergency prayer needs. You are probably already praying for the Middle East and the waves of protest for change that are engulfing the region.
You may be one of the people who have already been praying for years for the region, and now something is happening. The need is to KEEP praying.
Some leaders are saying that this uprising could be a demonic attempt to distract and knock off course the Christian work and harvest in these Islamic countries. A point definitely worth praying over. Here are a few more...
Prayer Points:
Justice: at the base of many of the uprisings are the economic needs and opportunities of families struggling to survive on their low wages, pray for justice.
Corruption: often the reason opportunities are not made available to the common man is because pay-offs/bribes intercept these chances at a better living.
Death & Violence: let's stand in the gap against the plans of the devil to 'kill, steal, destroy' and ask for peace.
Policies that will be favorable for the Gospel. May open doors and platforms to serve Muslim people go unhindered in this transitional time.
Israel: pray that all of God's plans and purposes will succeed. That there will be grace to stand in a posture of blessing toward Israel, since God's blessing hinges on this.
Bible Verses:
-"I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Genesis 12:3
-"The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly." John 10:10
-"...for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God." James 1:20
-"I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you lose on earth will be loosed in heaven." Matthew 16:19
-"The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His unfailing love." Psalm 33
-"This, then, is how you should pray: 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed by Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.' " Matthew 6:9-10
Let's link arms and release the reward of our prayers across the Middle East!
In His love and mine,
Kathleen Dillard
FOR EACH PERSON TO PRAY FOR THEIR OWN HEALING:
Father, in the name of Jesus, I come before You asking You to heal me. It is written that the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if I have committed sins, I will be forgiven. I let go of all unforgiveness, resentment, anger, and bad feelings toward anyone.
My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and I desire to be in good health. I seek the truth that will make me free—both spiritually and naturally (good eating habits, medications if necessary, and appropriate rest and exercise). You bought me with a price, and I desire to glorify You in my body and my spirit—they both belong to You.
Thank You, Father, for sending Your Word to heal me and deliver me from all my destructions. Jesus, You are the Word Who became flesh and dwelt among us. You bore my griefs (pains) and carried my sorrows (sickness). You were pierced through for my transgressions and crushed for my iniquities, the chastening for my well-being fell upon You, and by Your scourging I am healed.
Father, I give attention to Your words and incline my ear to Your sayings. I will not let them depart from my sight, but I will keep them in the midst of my heart, for they are life and health to my whole body.
Father, You pardon all my iniquities; You heal all my diseases; You redeem my life from the pit; You crown me with loving-kindness and compassion; You satisfy my years with good things so that my youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Since the Spirit of Him Who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in me, He Who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to my mortal body through His Spirit Who dwells in me.
Thank You that I will prosper and be in health, even as my soul prospers. Amen.

Heavenly Father, I come to you this morning agreeing in prayer with Kathleen regarding the uprising in the Middle East. I pray for protection of those who are there proclaiming the gospel to these people and for those who know you as their Savior but may be in harms way. Lead, guide and protect those that belong to you and help them to get the message of the cross to those who do not know you. I pray this in the lovely name of Jesus who gave His life for everyone who calls upon Him to be saved. Father, I pray your will be done in all things that are going on in this world and in our own country. Thank you for listening to and answering our prayers. I'm just a little person in this world, but I serve a great, big God, praise Your Holy name.
Praying for: Aaron
Protection Over Trouble
Scripture: You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. -Psalms 32:7
Prayer: Lord, You make rivers to flow in the desert, and set the boundaries of the seas. You carve a path through the mountains, and set the timing of the sun. Nothing is beyond Your reach, and nothing can touch what You protect.
I bring Aaron before Your throne of grace, and I ask that You would hide him under Your wings. Protect him Lord from whatever trouble is lurking about. Secure him in the palm of Your hand, guard his going out and his coming in today.
Lord, show Yourself strong on his behalf, and declare Your sovereignty over his life. Sing over him Lord Your songs of deliverance and drive trouble from his doorstep. Let Your shadow of security fall over him today, and cause his heart to rest. In Jesus name, amen.
Wisdom for Victory
Scripture: “Prepare plans by consultation, And make war by wise guidance.” -Proverbs 20:18
Prayer: You formed the planets and stars, separated the land from the waters, and fashioned man with Your hands. You laid the foundations of the world in Your wisdom, and in Your wisdom You sent Jesus to reconcile men back to Yourself. All wisdom and power belong to You!
Lord, we ask that You would give the leaders of our military, divine wisdom for victory in this conflict. Show them the political routes to lasting peace, and give them military strategies that will end the fighting quickly with few casualties. Release peace to the land of LIBYA through Your wisdom that is “pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits…”
Thank You God that no conflict is too complex for You to solve, no army too mighty for You to conquer. Bring down the forces of darkness that cause contention with the power of Your hand. Victory belongs to our God!
Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus asking for protection over trouble for Aaron. You are El Roi - The God who sees Aaron. There are no circumstances in our lives or Aaron's life that escape His fatherly awareness and care. God knows us and your troubles as well as ours.
I would also add this same prayer for JBR for emtional healing and so much more. God loves you and knows exactly what you need. I ask you Father to let JBR feel your presence surrounding him and protecting, supplying whatever the needs are. Father, just put JBR in the "shadow of of your wings."
I thank you, Heavenly Father for the privilege of lifting up these dear people to you for whatever it is they need.
Psalm 91:1-2 "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide un the shadow of the Almighty". "I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in Him I will trust."
Father God, I lift up Shelby and her family to you today as they remember their loved one who went Home to be with you a year ago today. I pray you will continue to give her peace, joy and boundless love throughout this day, the next day and years to come. May she feel the presence of the Holy Spirit loving her and surrounding her with peace and contentment. Father, you never make mistakes and we know Shelby's husband is in a better place, free from pain and suffering and one day she will see him again. All praise and adoration to you Father God for the love you give your daughter (Shelby) as no one else can. Amen.
Most Holy Father,
I stand in agreement with Alice! Thank You for Alice and her prayers.
I prayed for for her above in the FAVOR post.
Today is the last day of "Carnaval" and though the outreaches will finish, the commission and job to save the lost does not end,for the harvest is ripe and the laborers are few but all is possible through Your Spirit to reach ONE MORE!
Praying for: the prodigals in my (our)neighborhood
To You Good Shepherd
Your Word tells me that
Jesus said, “I AM the Good Shepherd.” '
When we name His Name over a lost soul, we are lifting up the banner of active love. Jesus cares more about our lost friends, neighbors and family members than we do.
[Meditate on these Bible verses and declare His heart of longing over the lost.]
Scripture: For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him. -John 3:17
This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. -1Timothy 2:3-4
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. -2Peter 3:9
Thus it is not [the] will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish. -Matthew 18:12-14
The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have [it] abundantly. -John 10:10
Prayer:
I thank You Jesus for the mercy that I have received. I declare that mercy triumphs over judgment, and I ask for Your mercy in the prodigals in my neighborhood’s lives, my family's lives and this city's lives. You did not come to condemn but You came to save. I ask You to send forth Your Holy Spirit to awaken the prodigals in our neighborhood’s - souls to You. Bring them back as lost sheep into the fold.
I ask for dreams and many divine appointments that would speak deep to their hearts. Jesus, in Your Name I declare that You wish for no one to perish. Send them Your kindness that leads to repentance.
I bind the thief in Your Mighty Name and release the abundant life that You purchased through Your blood. I declare that You are the Good Shepherd and that Your desire is for the prodigals in my neighborhood and city's salvation.
We declare Salvation for many in Jesus' Name and by His blood we are saved. Thank You... praise Your Holy name.
Heavenly Father, I have left a prayer for Emma on the website, but I'm lifting her up to you here and asking that you will heal Emma of the pneumonia in the name of Jesus. You are an all knowing God and you know exactly what it will take to make this little girl better and free to be the child you created her to be. You are the life giver and I praise you for what you are doing in this situation for I'm beliving that you are taking care of Emma and her family. Praise your holy name.
Amen.
Heavenly Father, I come to You again today in the name of Your Son asking that you touch and answer the prayers of everyone who has asked for prayer. You know who they are without my listing them and I know that You are supplying their every need. I would especially ask that you continue to touch Emma and Kelly's Mom and I also pray for Israel. Thank you Father for hearing my prayer today for all of the people who have listed prayer request for this month and the previous months this year. Father I ask for a special anointing upon Peggy as she journeys through 40 days of prayer. She is one of your special child who loves you with all her heart and gives so much of herself for those in need.
You are great, wonderful, the Almighty, The Most High, The Sufficient One, The God who sees and we praise you and give you honor and glory for all that you are doing for the people listed. Thank you that my husband is feeling some better and has noticed a change in the feelings he has with the Meniere's Disease.
You are my wonderful, wonderful God, my friend and helper. To You be all praise, honor and glory in the name of Your Son, Jesus, who gave His life for us that we may have eternal life and healing for our bodies. Amen.
Father God I ask for protection of Peggy, Pia, Lori and any others who are in harms way of the earthquake in Japan. You can do the impossible and I'm beliveing that you are surrounding them with protection. Thank you, Father for answering this prayer.
I've heard from Peggy and she is okay right now. Has been told to evacuate but she has not decided what to do yet. She is trusting in God to take care of her and others.
Tonya at The Christian Courier has asked for prayer for her son Ryan whom she says needs help desparately.
Father in Heaven, I bring Tonya's request for her son, Ryan to you this morning. You know what he needs and I ask that you meet that need in the name of Jesus. We know from your word in Luke that there is nothing impossible with you. I ask that you place a special anointing on Tonya and give her the strength and knowledge to help her son. We thank you Father God for the answer to whatever Ryan's problem is. There is nothing too great for You. I give you all the praise, honor and glory for the answer to Tonya's prayer and mine.
Praise your Holy, Holy name.
Heaven Father, Once again I come to you on behalf of everyone who has asked for prayer in March. You are so wonderful and glorious and I know You know each one by name. Some have some health issues that need Your anointing oil poured afresh on them. May they feel Your touch, Your presence, Your love for each one from the one who is the most sick to the one who has a mildest sickness and the ones who have other issues that need Your help so desperatly.
Mothers who are asking for prayer for their babies, their teenagers, and older. Our children never get too old that they don't need the prayers of their parents. You love all of them, they are precious in Your sight and I just ask that You supply all the needs that have been placed here at The Lighthouse of Prayer. We thank You Father for hearing our prayers and are looking to hear testimonies of what You have done.
Praise your Holy name. We give You honor and glory for all that You do in the name of Jesus.
Amen Amen to all above prayers.
This prayer reflects my thoughts and heart today
Oh God, I thank You for this day. I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I am blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thoughts that was not pleasing to You.
I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear form You. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over and its the best response when I am pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I cannot pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak…Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those that are lost and can’t find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don’t know You intimately. I pray for those that don’t believe.
But I thank you that I believe. I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them.

We will be looking for a great testimony from Abbey that she is free of the port and can be herself again. Thank you for all the blessings you have placed upon this little girl and her parents. Amen.
A button has been made for a friend of Andrea's. Her name is Mary Grace and is in an induced comma. She is very sick and needs prayer.
Father, I come to you this morning asking for healing of Mary Grace. I don't know much about her but You do. That's the greatest thing about knowing You, Heavenly Father. We may not know the people who have been lifted in prayer this month but You know everyone of them and exactly what they need. I pray that You will supply the needs for Mary Grace and all that have been listed here at The Lighthouse of Prayer. Thank You, my Father, for who You are and for loving all of us no matter who we are. I ask this all in the name of your Son, Jesus.
Amen.
Heavenly Father, I come to you with a very humble heart asking for your blessings and protection of the people who are in the areas where the Earthquarkes are happening - Japan, and possibly other areas: Quebec, Canada(4.3) and Chile (7.2) on Wednesday. May these people get the help they need in the name of Jesus.
Father, I have to thank you for the miracle of a little baby who was found in the rubble and also the parents. The baby was swept from the mother's arms by the strong waters. I know they are so greatful that someone heard the baby's cry and I just believe you had her in your arms waiting for someone to get her.
Father, you are so great, wonderful, marvelous, loving, kind and I could go on and on. The things you are doing increases my faith and I give you the honor, the glory and praise for all you are doing to help those in need.
Praise your holy name.
Ohhh Heavenly Father, What a beautiful delight it is to come here and see the beautiful prayers of my sister in Christ Alice, From the Heart...indeed each prayer is from the heart... and Alice is such a blessing! Each one of the people here are being prayed for. I only wish that more would do as Alice has been doing! But I trust Lord, that many come and pray without writing a prayer.
Lord, today is "Fearless Friday" and "Sweet P's" and I have already been praying and lifting up Your Name and my praise and prayers to You! Today I come in a visible way to stand with Alice in agreement for each and every one of these petitions, as Alice prayed, You know them all far better than we do... and You know the unspoken needs that we can't see or possible know. Do a great work in these lives so that we may give You all the PRAISE and GLORY! Be exalted, O Lord above each of our own needs. Though we cry out, we cry out as Your children and pray according to Your Will, that Your Will would be done. Always we seek You and what You may be doing in our midst. may we take our eyes off the problem and focus on You, Our Problem Solver, Our Advocate, Our Helper.

Pia and Lorie Y., Abby, Mary Grace Ryan, Alice and her husband... as well as all their families... Father, Many are in need of Your touch, Your grace, Your miracle, Your healing, Your provision, Your restoration, Your protection,Your mercy and grace! Lord, We need You!
Today, I humble myself before You and ask for a move of Your Holy Spirit through the lives of these people. I know it is not by might, nor by my power but by Your Spirit.
So I bow before You and seek You for the nations of this world but especially Japan. You have already heard my prayer this day over at "Tea with Tiffany" and here from my home for the people of Japan. I ask for LIFE where there has been so much DESTRUCTION and DEATH! I ask for Your mercy and plead that You hold back Your judgement and wrath for our many sins. Forgive us as a nation, forgive us as individuals, forgive us as Your church for not being Your church united. But let us unite in Oneness in prayer as we cry out for mercy. Remove all that hinders us from receiving from You.
Forgive us of any idolatry, unbelief, pride, lack of forgiveness and love for others.
Help us to overcome feelings of insecurity, rejection, guilt, despair, depression, addictions, strongholds that keep us from You and drawing closer. Save the many that are turn away from You! Save us O Lord! Keep us from anger and
being deceived and used by the enemy! Forgive us for our human weaknesses and strengthen us to Your Will and obeying You in all we do. Father, Forgive us... Jesus was right when He spoke these words "for they know not what they do..."
Thank You Jesus for laying down Your very own life for us. Protect those in rescue in japan and those in the nuclear plants that are laying down their lives for the sake of the many. Give them wisdom and quick resolve. Only a supernatural miracle from You will contain this. Send Your Comfort, peace and strength to the many waiting in Japan for Your rescue.
May they hear Your voice and acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Savior, Lord and Redeemer. May the Church be Your hands and feet, as we are in our prayers right here for those in need of prayer.
We thank You for what You are doing and only You can do. Nothing is impossible for You!We adore You above all else and give You all the honor, glory, praise, thanks and ALL of us that You alone deserve... our complete adoration and worship!
Be glorified in us and through us to others in Jesus precious name, we pray...
