UPDATE for 2013

Not knowing what the future holds in 2013 for Our Lighthouse of Prayer, I'd like to express my thankfulness for the faithful that come here and leave prayers and prayer requests. In Feb, 2013, Linky starts a new subscription and I'm not too sure if we will be continuing to share prayers via LINKY, but I have seen that you do well at leaving them as PRAYER REQUESTS in the comments. It is so important, in lieu of the possibility of no longer having a Linky that you do the following as best you can: 

Please

1st: write the words

PRAYER REQUEST 
first

 when adding your PRAYER REQUEST in the comments
so we know this is a prayer need 

2nd: the person who needs prayer
[the initial of their name if they may not want their name used]

3rd: their specific prayer need
as concise and clearly as you can briefly
click
PUBLISH 

then if you desire to pray for that need
click REPLY under that
PRAYER REQUEST
and add your prayer
ANYONE praying for that same person should click the REPLY
also below the same prayer request.

If you or the person in need of prayer has left a blog post with more about their prayer need, please include the link to that blog post also, if at all possible.

Thank you 
for praying with us!

Let us pray
in
2013
together
in the name of 
Jesus

*Personal Note of housekeeping: Thank you all for your prompt prayers starting off 2013 right. AMEN! I was a bit overwhelmed with all the emails of comments/prayers, but it is wonderful to see you all supporting and standing together in prayer. That's what this is all about! Sorry that I have been so unavailable and not able to respond or have "everything" ready to go right away. 

I noticed there is/was a need for PRAISE reports and thank you for the wonderful testimony that is to God and prayers. Because of this I added once again a separate post for "Praise, Answers, Thanks to God" below and have removed them from here, but added them there. Otherwise, this Prayer Request post gets really long and hard to follow so many and stand with each one. I'm reading each one and praying with you. 

Perhaps I will have to have two prayer request posts per month or more depending on how many we share. I don't like to do that either because then the previous prayers or flow get left behind. 

I so appreciate each one of you that come here and take the time to write out your prayers and for those who pass by and read as well, joining us praying.

FOR THE 2nd part of this month's prayers GO HERE

Prayers left the first part of December are HERE!

PRAISE, ANSWER, THANKS: Part II

Here at the Lighthouse of Prayer, we lift each other up and pray for our needs and those of others we see here and there throughout "blogland".

“I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart” Psalm 9:1

"Praise should always follow answered prayer, just like the mist of earth’s gratitude rises when the sun of heaven’s love warms the ground. Has the Lord been gracious to you, and heard your voice as your earnestly pray? Then praise Him as long as you live! Don’t deny a song to Him who has answered your prayer and given you the desire of your heart." Originally written by Charles H. Spurgeon, published in “Mornings and Evenings,” entry for October 30th, AM. Updated to modern English by Darren Hewer, 2008 

Quite a while back, it was suggested to me to include PRAISE reports!!!

Why of course, we always want to come back and give glory to Our Lord, praise Him and thank Him. In fact, I'm sure that we had a place long ago when we started here. So since we try to keep everything as a prayer around here, I was not sure how this might work ... but I'm leaving it up to YOU! I have noticed some PRAISE shared in the Prayer Requests (that I truly appreciate) but I just wanted to make a special place.

We tried this back in September (Part I) so this will be (Part II.), if you'd like to see how it was done then, read or view a video with some scriptures on PRAISE, click on Part I.

If at all possible, write your PRAISE, ANSWER or THANKS in a form of a prayer ... Thank you and God bless!

When you add a PRAYER REQUEST in comments, if need be, please write PRAYER REQUEST first or please just add your prayer request in the LINKY!

Thank you in the name of Jesus

let us pray

Because of the lengthy comments, the Linky will be continued in another blog post on the 15th of the month, but the 'prayer comments' will not. Sorry. Hope this works better (except for the 'prayers lifted to God's Throne' in the previous comments, which I can't figure out what else to do, other than link to it).

Prayers ONLY please, comments are deleted.

SOMEBODY'S PRAYING FOR ME

We are PRAYING for you! Please add your prayers and prayer requests HERE!

Leave prayers here on anything for yourself or just to God in general that may not fit in PRAYER REQUESTS or PRAISE, ANSWER, THANKS ... prayers that are on your heart. I will be adding some of the special prayers that I receive in my emails from various sites: TGIF, Prayer Central, Germaine Copeland (above in Daily Prayer Page too) and PPT (Presidential Prayer team) when I am able.

TRUE WOMAN: REVIVAL and AWAKENING PRAYER CHALLENGE

I am so sorry that I am not a better LIGHTHOUSE keeper (due to me not being able to be online every day, any hour anymore) and I miss so much, but mostly YOU!

However, during OCTOBER, there were many PRAYER challenges started and some even before that, especially regarding the upcoming election in the United States of America, our nation is in crisis and definitely needs prayer and leaders who can answer directly to God and get His Guidance and Word for direction. Anyways, I try very hard not to get too political here, since it is first of all, a HOUSE of PRAYER! But please listen and PRAY at least #10 below or #16, #22, #23, #30 (when you click over to True Woman, you must click on the purple button that reads "Click here to join in prayer" that should open an audio for you to listen  and agree in prayer).

One of the ministries, that I admire and use to be able to follow is Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Revive Our Hearts and True Woman. I would have loved it if we at the Lighthouse of Prayer had joined her in Praying for the REVIVAL and AWAKENING through the month of October. Although, October has gone by, that does not mean that we still cannot PRAY for REVIVAL and AWAKENING for our nation and our world (whatever corner of the world you reside in, our final authority and kingdom is that of God, the Father, Jesus, His Son and His Holy Spirit, so we are one body, united in prayer as He is One God).

PRAY FOR REVIVAL and AWAKENING

through the month of October

ANYTIME

MEANS

BETH MOORE PRAYING LIVESTREAM ~ A WORD in the STORM

Watch live streaming video from livingproofministries at livestream.com

In case you missed this like I did, I wanted us to unite and pray as we learn. Yes, to pray for all in the path of the current STORM but also for anyone of us who are facing a storm in our lives, LET US PRAY!

Storm References in the Bible:

Psalm 46

Matthew 8
Storms are opportunities for Jesus Christ to speak! LET US PRAY!

Psalm 57

"PRAISE YOU IN THE STORM" by Casting Crown

I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

[Chorus:]
And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to you
And you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You

But as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

[Chorus]

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

PRAISES, ANSWERS and THANKS: Part I

Here at the Lighthouse of Prayer, we lift each other up and pray for our needs and those of others we see here and there throughout "blogland".

“I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart” Psalm 9:1

"Praise should always follow answered prayer, just like the mist of earth’s gratitude rises when the sun of heaven’s love warms the ground. Has the Lord been gracious to you, and heard your voice as your earnestly pray? Then praise Him as long as you live! Don’t deny a song to Him who has answered your prayer and given you the desire of your heart." Originally written by Charles H. Spurgeon, published in “Mornings & Evenings,” entry for October 30th, AM. Updated to modern English by Darren Hewer, 2008 

A while back, it was suggested to me to include PRAISE reports!!! Why of course, we always want to come back and give glory to Our Lord, praise Him and thank Him. In fact, I'm sure that we had a place long ago when we started here. So since we try to keep everything as a prayer around here, I was not sure how this might work ... but I'm leaving it up to YOU! I have noticed some PRAISE shared in the Prayer Requests (that I truly appreciate) but I just wanted to make a special place

If at all possible, write your PRAISE, ANSWER or THANKS in a form of a prayer ...

Bible Verses Spoken from Freedom 01, Hearing God

"I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth."
 Psalm 34:1

"I will also praise You with a harp, even Your truth, O my God; to You I will sing praises with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You; and my soul, which You have redeemed."
 Psalm 71:22-23

"SHOUT joyfully to the LORD, all the earth. Serve the LORD with gladness; come before Him with joyful singing.
Know that the LORD Himself is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the LORD is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations."
 Psalm 100:1-5

"Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; who pardons all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; who satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle." Psalm 103:1-5

"Bless the LORD, you His angels, mighty in strength, who perform His word, obeying the voice of His word! Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, You who serve Him, doing His will.
Bless the LORD, all you works of His, in all places of His dominion; bless the LORD, O my soul!"
 Psalm 103:20-22

"PRAISE the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and forever.
From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the LORD is to be praised. The LORD is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens." 
Psalm 113:1-4

"I will extol You, my God, O King, and I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever.
Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, and His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.
On the glorious splendor of Your majesty and on Your wonderful works, I will meditate. Men shall speak of the power of Your awesome acts, and I will tell of Your greatness.
They shall eagerly utter the memory of Your abundant goodness and will shout joyfully of Your righteousness."
 Psalm 145:1-7

Psalm 148:1-5

If you asked the Lord for any request that He has answered, let us join together and give Him all the praise, glory and honor He most definitely deserves. To God be the glory for great things He has done (and will do)!!!

Don't ya know it's time to praise the Lord!!!
