The Prayer Closet, a daily prayer request thread
Fri Aug 08, 2008 at 05:39:24 AM PDT
[editor's note, by PoliSigh] I am traumatized--almost didn't get home last night--my town was flooded--bottom of my street closed....a guy who works for the town drove me up through the mud that settled at the bottom of the street....pray for the little 7 year old who died and for her family--they tried to escape the flooding but their car overturned in the rushing water. See you this afternoon.
Today's Meditation: to listen and for more verses, go to Oremus Hymnal
How lovely is thy dwelling-place
How lovely is thy dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts, to me!
My thirsty soul desires and longs
within thy courts to be;
my very heart and flesh cry out,
O living God for thee.
Beside thine altars, gracious Lord,
the swallows find a nest;
how happy they who dwell with thee
and praise thee without rest,
and happy they whose hearts are set
upon the pilgrim's quest.
Words, verses 1-2: The Psalms of David in Meeter (The Scottish Psalter), 1650
Music: Brother James' Air, Harington
Thanks so much to my friend Ken for today's photo.

Prayer Closet description and procedure:
Please join our community in prayer. Just leave your prayer requests and pray for the requests of the community. I welcome all people to join in as the power of prayer/good energy is undeniable.
If you have any favorite prayers or passages or quotes or meditations, please send them to me to share, meeshka1@msn dot com
Please do not argue about the requests of others--you may do that elsewhere!!! If you wish to offer comments of support--please do so! If you choose to rate prayer requests, I like to use a "4" as an AMEN! If you disagree with a request, please just refrain from rating--this is a place where people need to feel they can reveal and unburden their hearts without being criticized. Should any trolls come our way, just surround them with prayer.
Prayer requests remain on the list based upon my judgment. Removing requests is my decision. I have no hard and fast rules--I simply act when the list seems to get too long or it seems the request no longer applies. If I take one off which you would like to remain, please simply request it again. If the request can be removed earlier, please let me know. I'm sure we all would appreciate an update.
Thank you!
Please post your prayer requests below, or email me with them. Please join us in prayer.
