OCTOBER PRAYER REQUESTS

"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.  A cord of three strands is not quickly broken"       Ecclesiastes 4:12  

This is meant to be an interactive blog based on comment and response system. That's where YOU come in, we need YOU to help the Lighthouse of Prayer work effectively by joining us in sharing your prayer requests or other's you encounter AND then by leaving a prayer for them, let them know that you are lifting them in prayer with us here.

WE REALLY NEED YOU !

This blog ONLY works if WE all JOIN together 

in prayer and sharing.

We'd love to see your Prayer requests (Petitions) in what normally would be the Comment area, where others will be supporting you through their prayers hopefully, written as a response to your petition there. We'd like this to be a community of prayer, praying for one another.

We encourage you ALL to pray whenever you read a need of someone, so please respond here with a prayer also. You need not be a team member to leave a prayer for someone or bring a prayer need here. We all can lift up a prayer for each person and encourage someone, help to carry another's burden, stand with them and bless them.

This blog post is only for 

PRAYER REQUESTS 

Please use other posts to write other prayers 
but
Your PRAYERS are always welcome here!

When you leave a prayer request, 

please come back to read the prayer(s) for you.

Hopefully you will find them right under your 

PRAYER REQUEST

made possible with the new feature of

When you add a PRAYER REQUEST in comments, please

Thank you in the name of Jesus

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

I had this as "September Praise... but if this looks like it will work out, I will make it a regular feature each month. 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!!!

HIS WORD WHEN...

I miss alot when it's happening because of my lack of computer/time and this was one I'm sure that we all could benefit from greatly that just finished at the end of August over at "Do Not Depart" (a wonderful site and team of spirit filled and anointed women) who share "... Tools and Encouragement to Abide in the Word"
(the rest of their blog title)

and have just started a new study on "Unshakeable Faith"

But that's not what I missed and want to share. 

It was THIS series

Isn't this just what we need when we go to pray?
(well, I know I needed most of these)

They’ve been taking a look on how to apply the truths of the Bible to our lives when we struggle.

If you'd like to read any posts, you can view all posts from the "His Word When I Struggle" series here.

You can also find the posts collected on their pinboard! ~ from their WRAP-UP post

Here are some of the KEY ones of the 10 that I read and believe apply to us here at "The Lighthouse of Prayer"! We certainly can use what they share to pray more, especially for ourselves when we are ... 


HIS WORD WHEN YOU NEED COMFORT

HIS WORD WHEN I'M AFRAID HIS WORD WHEN WE DOUBT

HIS WORD WHEN WE STRUGGLE

HIS WORD WHEN WE WAIT

HIS WORD WHEN WE'RE BURNED OUT

Hope you'll click over to "DO NOT DEPART" and be encouraged in HIS WORD! If you'd like to leave a prayer here or need prayer for any of these areas, let us know ... in the "Prayers Lifted..." and start by writing it like this: 
Abba Father... (or any opening),  I really need You and Your Word as a lamp unto my feet because I need Your comfort...
... or ...
I need Your Word 'cause I'm struggling ... with ... (you name it but don't claim it)
... or ...
I need Your Word for being burned out and worn out ... Please carry me.
Simple and to the point, and we (in our prayer responses) or God, will take it from there ...
Thanks WRITERS at DO NOT DEPART ... this was a great series!!! And I love the very practical one that DNP (y'all) are doing on "Bible Study Notebook" organizational ideas! FANTASTIC!!!

COMFORT

Bible Promises Spoken from hearingGod on Comfort
