SEPTEMBER PRAYER REQUESTS ~ Week 3

"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 
REPLY


If you are praying for that prayer request
please use the REPLY right under that prayer request.



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

In Jesus' name I ask, amen.

Lord I place Alice at your altar and throne of grace. I pray you would lower her cholesterol to normal levels, help her with her diet and medication, heal her ear and give her energy and strength. I pray that she would have abundance in her day to day energy to get done the things that she needs to do and to have time to minister to family, friends and those you put in her path. I thank you Father for keeping her thus far and praise your name for what you will yet do in her life. In Jesus' name I ask and pray, amen.

PRAYER REQUEST ~ For the Missions of Hope, Kenya for all monetary, physical and spiritual needs to be met, for enlargement of territory and an increase in prayer and financial sponsors.

Father God, I ask a special blessing upon the Missions of Hope Kenya. I pray for enlargement of territory through new and faithful donors. I pray that the ongoing monetary needs would be met and that the volunteers would stand in faith and pray for all needs. I pray too for an enlargement of faithful prayer partners and donors.

I pray for a special blessing on Jonah for his own personal needs to be met. Give him strength as he nears the finish line of his studies and make a way where there seems to be none. I also ask for your special favour on Elvis, Linet and Edwin. Lord your heart aches over all these dear ones and the needs they represent. I pray your mercy and grace upon them and the favour of men and women who read and hear about them. I ask that you help us to help them. In the precious name of Jesus I ask, amen.

Since I cannot open the Reply after everyone's comment Father, I will lift up and agree with all who have prayed. Heal those who are sick, watch over and care for those who are in harms way fighting for our country in the name of Jesus. I ask, Heavenly Father, that this pray will post, in the name of Jesus. Father You know all the requests and You know exactly what is needed in the lives of those listed. Please watch over Peggy and give her the help that she so desperately needs in the name of Jesus.

Heavenly Father, I ask that you will bless my oldest daughter and her fiance' as they say their vows to each other on November 17th. You know what lies ahead for them and I pray You will cover them with Your wings in the name of Jesus. Amen

Praying for: Israel ~ Speak Peace to the People

Scripture: “Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret — it leads only to evil. For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.” (Psalms 37:7-9)

Prayer: Lord, You are the sovereign God over all creation. In You we live and move and have our being. Every breath we take is a gift of grace from You. Apart from You we can do nothing, and all power is in the palm of Your hand.

I lift up the people in Israel, and I ask that You would deliver them from envy and vengeance. Break the cycle of wickedness that perpetuates itself through anger. Give them the grace to let offenses go, and stamp a spirit of forgiveness on their hearts.

I speak to the people of influence in Israel in Jesus name, “Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him, do not become angry when wicked schemes succeed. For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.”


Add your faith to that word and plant it in your heart, you will see the Lord do something. I would like to call your attention to something very important today. You have been summoned to, ‘Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.’ (Psalm 122) In this moment when so much of human history is in a rumble, or at the very least in transition, your prayers for God’s manifest blessing over Israel are vital.

You will find a whole section on Prayercentral dedicated for praying for Israel:

http://prayercentral.net/engage-me/targets/israel/praying-for-israel/

Some of you may just pray today, and below you will see a prayer where you can join your brothers and sisters around the world and pray for the peace in Jerusalem in the next few minutes. However, the Lord is also calling forth a number of you to TAKE THIS UP and enter into His Presence for a season with a burning prayer burden for Israel. Listen, He IS calling YOU.

“Take your eyes off yourself and reset your focus. Take your eyes off your mountain and turn them to your mountain-maker. Take your eyes off your hardship and refocus, past the chaos, beyond the veil, where My sovereignty reigns over all. In the press, in the whirlwind, in the shifting sand, I have things to tell you that will usurp the ‘usurping one’, that will calm the storm, and will place the mountain into a swallowing sea. Turn to Me. Step back, step away, and turn to Me!”

Scripture:

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” -James 1:5

“By wisdom a house is built and through understanding it is established.” -Proverbs 24:3

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.” -Hebrews 12:1-2

These two from Prayer Central are submitted by Peggy to here but written by Kathleen Dillard. This is from "Word for Today" (21)

Also here is the link for Praying for Israel ... I noticed that neither link worked above.
Being a Peace of His Plan is where the above is taken from ... if you go there you can click on the part that says "I prayed"

Lift up your voice now to His throne of grace:

Prayer for Syria~

“Oh, God of the nations, please have mercy on Your Body in Syria. This ancient church is in grave danger of extinction in the land of Paul and Ananias. The nations press for one outcome, but we plead for Your intervention and Your outcome. Only You know the truth in the midst of deception, and only You can sort things out in this confusing situation. May You expose all darkness and deception and let Your Kingdom come in the name of Jesus. I bind the enemy who comes to kill, steal and destroy in Jesus name. I ask that life, light, justice and peace would be released and established. Grant escapes from death. Have mercy Lord, let angels go to intervene, for as it is written ‘the anger of man does not accomplish the righteousness of God.’ Let your will be done and let your kingdom come in Syria in a fresh measure in this season of travail. In Jesus’ name.”

His precious wife Michelle is devasted, please love on her extra sweetly, and comfort her breaking heart. We will be going to the vistation tomorrow evening, give me the words to say Father. I love You. Amen.

PRAYER for Our Nation

This was shared in an email from the Presidential Prayer Team:

Declaration of Independence Signer

Samuel Chase
George Washington (1732-1799), 1st President of the United States

"Almighty God: We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy Holy protection; and Thou wilt incline the hearts of the Citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to Government; and to entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow Citizens of the United States at large, and particularly for their brethren who have served in the Field. And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that Charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the Characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed Religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." --

This prayer of George Washington appears in St. Paul's Chapel in New York City.
