“…God is love… God is love… We love him, because he first loved us” (1 John 4:8b,16b,19 KJV).

God does not simply love, but His very nature is love. What does that mean? In 1 John 3:16, we read: “Hereby we perceive the love of God, because he laid down his life for us:” Our Apostle Paul put it this way: “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). God’s nature is love—selfless, self-sacrificing!

O Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress.  Isaiah 33:2

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23:6

Lord, I know that my strength relies on you as its source. I pray that I will continue to exercise the strength I find in you and not become prideful of my own efforts. Father, keep my eyes open, help me notice your presence with me throughout today. Show me your mercy and goodness on my path. May I always Praise you. Amen

didn't get one through the woods, took me too long to figure out my phone LOL  Also much better in person. :)

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God.
Philippians 2:14–15

Father, help me to be mature in my faith, aware of my feelings but not ruled by them. 

Phoenixmom, this ones for you.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.  Hebrews 10:23

God’s promises are bedrock—unmovable, unshakable, eternal. Our hope has a foundation in the only One who has never broken a promise. He is always faithful.

Lord, it’s hard for us to trust sometimes, mainly because a lot of people have let us down. Remind us that we can always count on you. Thank you Father for your Faithfulness and Love.  Amen

Blondie Thank You, and I do need to let you know with so many sending Prayers he has been touched and he actually had a Great weekend. he was able to get out of bed, he did eat a little bit and he is regaining his strength. AMEN! it was very exciting to see. We went to Dr.'s yesterday and they remain positive at removing the cancer from his tongue. It's been an Ordeal but we remain hopeful in every way. Thank You!

Welcome Praying Mom to the Navy Prayer Wall

Praise be to God!  My Bible Study today is so fitting, so sharing it here. 

Something We All Need
by Pastor Kevin Sadler

"Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness" (Col. 1:11).

Patience and longsuffering, this is something we all need in life. Difficult people and circumstances in our lives can make patience and longsuffering difficult to live out. However, we are promised God's help in this area. By the indwelling Holy Spirit we are "strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power" to be more patient and longsuffering. God's selfless love teaches us that "Charity suffereth long, and...is not easily provoked" (1 Cor. 13:4-5). Living out this attribute of Christ in our relationships can make a great difference in the quality of these relationships and, in turn, the quality of our lives.

Father thanks for bring Praying Mom to us.  We hold her up for your Blessings.  Give her strength Lord.  May we be of service to her and all those you send to us. 

Thank you for giving Phoenixmom's husband strength and hope. May they fight the great fight. Be at their side Lord Jesus and if it be Your Will heal him.  Guide his doctors, give his nurses and care givers your Loving touch. We KNOW your are here Lord and you Love us. But we know our plans are not always your plans. Lead us Lord, stay with us, allow us to lean on you and each other.  With Your Great Love we will help each other. Thank you Father for listening to me ramble. Amen

Asking for prayers for my pregnant daughter, she was hospitalized yesterday with the flu and dehydration.  There is problems with her heart beat.... Father be near them, give them strength and wisdom.  I place them into your Loving arms. Thank you Father.

AMEN! AMEN Love it! Thanks Blondie you are such an Inspiration.

Thank You for sharing your Bible study, This is something I'm sure we all can use in our Lives. Something that I have been working on within myself. It is a struggle at times because we are always being tested in many ways, But I have been catching myself and I stop and say a little prayer.

Thank you  Blondie    In prayer for your daughter and Phoenixmom for you and your husband

Thank You Jesusintheboat!

Your Daughter and Baby are in my Prayers.

thank you all.  My prayers always include you, your families and our Military.

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear"

1 John 4:18

Courage isn't the absence of fear, but rather the awareness of Jesus being near. Soldiers For Faith

Prayers going up for everyone... GOD is still in control no matter what we see with our earthly eyes.

Amen

[Jesus said,] “Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.”  John 12:26

Lord, help me to serve as Jesus served, to give as you give, and to comfort as the Holy Spirit comforts. Amen

God wants you to know that you can't rid the world of sorrow, but you can choose to live in joy.
Sorrow is with us not because we are bad at stopping it, but simply because it's part of being human. What matters is not whether good or bad things happen - both will, but your relationship to them. Just think back over the last 24 hours, - what had you taken hard that you could have taken lightly?

Amen Thank you for that Blondie

Live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Ephesians 5:2
 Lord, I want to be a sweet fragrance to the people I encounter today. Let your sense of love and compassion linger behind me wherever I go.

Thank you for these thoughts, scriptures and prayers Blondie!  It helps to know that God is in control and has these young men and women in His hands even when we can't hold them close in our arms.  His love is farther than the east is from the west!  Prayers for all, especially those who might be going through a time of discouragement right now.

BearcatMom

Amen, totally agree. Thank you Father for being there when we can not.

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.  Psalm 68:19

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.  Isaiah 26:3

He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.  Psalm 23:2–3

Dear God, I feel so weighed down by life sometimes. Thank you for bearing my burdens and lightening my load today and always. Father, I know that today won’t be perfect, but I also know that your peace is all I need—because it is perfect, just like your love for me. In the midst of my busyness and activity, please remind me that I need you and you want to give to me quiet moments. You want to come to me and give me your Peace, I just have to invite you in and remain with you. Thank you for ministering to me, Thank you for Loving me, Thank you for your Grace, thank you for my Peace. Through Christ Your Son, Amen

This song is stuck in my head.

Refrain: Jesus, come to us; lead us to your light.
Jesus, be with us, for we need you.

1. Lord, we come before you, listen to our prayer.
Fill us all with hope and your love.

2. Lord, we come to praise you for your faithfulness through night.
You will be with us; this we know.

3. Lord, you give us wonders, your glory to all. We believe in you; come to us.

Sorry Ladies I have been absent. Life struggles.... But our God has been Faithful and stood by me.  He gave me strength when I needed it and words when my own failed me. 

A friend since childhood was arrested and convicted and sentenced for rape under the age of 13.  It just sickens me. Been Praying for his family, the victim and her family and yes for him. what snapped?  A father figure to me for the last 28 years had 3 heart surgeries last week!  besides the one he had 2 weeks ago, his families struggles and fighting I was able to be somewhat of a sensible voice and ease some calm. A close family friend's father passed away, one of my bosses (like a sister to me) son was expelled from school..... On a happier note my nephew was in the school play and my pregnant daughter and SIL came down for Sunday's showing so to see her feeling better and being able to make the trip was priceless! Our taxes were done wrong and we owed $14,000.00! The owner of the accounting firm met with us Saturday evening and we got it straighten out, we get a refund.... so as you see it's been and up and down couple of weeks, our clothes washer died, my van need major repairs....But the Lord our God seen us through it all. Praise be. 

So as you can imagine our Lenten Season is not going as planned. But my Mama always said we plan and God laughs.  So I told my Husband, maybe God was telling us to slow down, look what's important. Maybe our Lenten Journey is to make time for others, sympathize, grow more dependent on him!  Because that is what has happened. In our busy lives we made time to see family, time to Really Talk to people, Listen and Try to Understand. And believe me we hung onto Christ and depended on our Father to see us through.  Nothing got done at my house, but really it's only a house, dishes, laundry.....People, family, community Matters.  Thank you for listening. May God Bless you and your families.

The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.  Nahum 1:7

I trust you completely, Lord, and take refuge in the shelter of your goodness. Thank you for protecting me from all the storms that came my way.  My I keep my calm and values...And my sympathetic heart and love of others always. Thank you Father, please continue helping me. With Christ your Son all things are possible. Amen 

Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.  1 Peter 3:9

Lord, remind me of your grace as I seek to show mercy to others rather than retaliate or seek revenge. Help me to bless those who would harm me.

Set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.  1 Timothy 4:12

Dear Jesus, I look to you as my perfect role model and holy example. Keep me mindful that others see you by what I do and say.

These have been a Great help to me through all this. In my mind there is a fine line between gossip and being of help. My family wanted all the details and did you call.....?  No just because I KNOW something doesn't mean I have to tell all to everyone.  If it doesn't concern them or their family...Why do they Need to know?  If I ask you to Pray for me or a family member or a joint friend, do I need to tell you which friend? and why?  No GOD KNOWS !  Just Pray!  As you can see (guess)  I struggle, trying to be kind and thoughtful but I feel no need to gossip (even if I know it's true) or Spread the word.  I feel like they are rejoicing in others pain. Or boosting their egos.....But then I have to remind myself Don't judge them!  

I struggle Lord, You Know I do.  But I turn to you for Help.  I want to Love all and be a good example. 

Ladies please Pray for us.

Blondie,

Glad to hear that you found our Jesus faithful to see you through all the things going on in your lives! He is faithful! Praying that He will continue to give you strength and trust and the peace that passes all understanding and that Jesus will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. 

Blessings,

Yvonne and John

Amen!  Thank you

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.  Psalm 34:18

"But God commendeth [directed] His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8).

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us" (Titus 3:5)

Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, that He died for your sins, and rose again (I Cor. 15:3,4)For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

God loves you; Christ died to save YOU!

[Jesus said,] “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”  Matthew 11:28

Father, like a child lying against a parent’s shoulder, let me lean on you, secure in the tender strength of your arms, and let go of all my worries. Thank You Father for your love. Amen

“I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13

I trust you, Lord, and appreciate the way you reassure me when I’m afraid. Thank you for going with me today, holding my hand, and leading the way. Amen

AMEN!

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.  Psalm 23:1

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  Psalm 91:1

Jesus, please lead me as the Lord of my life. Remind me that I have more than enough of what my heart truly desires when I have your love. Father, I release my cares and worries to you. Help me to still my soul before you, soaking in your presence, trusting in your Love and Care.  If you are for us, who can be against us?  Thank you Lord, Amen

Thank you for these scriptures and words of encouragement - so true!  I am asking us to pray for all of our recruits and sailors who might be dealing with some type of physical injury or setback. They all work so hard and push themselves to the limit.  This could be discouraging and I pray against any type of discouragement for these brave young men and women.
