PRAYER FOR THE LESS FORTUNATE & THE LONELY DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASONS

 PRAYER FOR THE LESS FORTUNATE & THE LONELY DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASONS

Thank God for the Gift of Prayer in that our loving Saviour made a way for us by His Blood Atoning sacrifice on the cross! It is a privileged to have the inherited authority as a daughter of our Heavenly Father to stand before Him and beckon on the behalf of ourselves and others.

  My heart is burdened for the lonely and hurting. As pastor's we are made aware of intimate details of individuals lives. During this past Thanksgiving, I was moved with the fact that several people I personally knew was to spend this holiday alone. Family may live nearby yet they were alone. Holidays in this still great country usually represent a time of cheer, friendships and of course family. Yet, in the past 24 years of ministry; as my husband and I have counseled the hearts of men and woman, we have seen this loneliness only increase.


                                               PRAYER LIST

1.) For all the elderly that are widowed. 

2.) For the elderly in nursing homes.     

3.) Elderly couples that either never had

children or children/gr. children do not visit.

4.) Sick & Disabled                                

5.) Parents who have lost a child.           

        6.) For orphans.                                               

7.) Pastor's and Ministry leaders (yes,     

they do get lonely & hurt).

 

 

  As well, we cannot forget what we call politically correct the 'less fortunate'. Every situation that has led to financially misfortune is quite different. Irregardless, we should lift up those that are desperate in 'need'. Sin AT TIMES, can lead to great deprivation. We must pray for all to be fed, clothed and sheltered. In addition; spiritually healing and salvation.

  Personally, we know that sickness can lead to a great basin of needs and desires. Faith does increase as we who know this place quite well as we see God bring the manna daily. Yet, many are going hungry, have a gallon of gas left in their tanks-have children who they need to care for and are yet, staring at an empty wallet. Instead of condemnation from the Children of God-we need to pray and be willing to be led to help as well.
