| A prayer.....for us |
|
| |
Lord, I lift up the community of believers here on MyChurch.org, most specifically those of us who use this site frequently to fellowship, pray (and seek prayer), learn (and teach), and basically share life as we walk with you. It may or may not have been the intentions of those who developed this site, technically speaking, to foster a diverse yet tight-knit community of believers around the world. But that is exactly what we have become, and your hand has been in it Lord, often very powerfully. Lord, at this moment, many here are hurting. The Deceiver, the Accuser, has been hard at work, and has enjoyed some success here recently. We have been deceived, and some of us have been accused. He has sown misunderstanding, callousness, short tempers, distorted truths, hurt, fear, anguish, despair... In short, he has done his best work, where recently you have been doing YOUR best, Father. I pray you have had enough, and that you will put your hand of protection over us. Lord, I pray that what LOOKS like complaining, but isn't, may be understood for what it really is. I pray that what LOOKS like arrogance, but isn't, may be understood for what it really is. Lord, I pray that what LOOKS like lack of concern for the needs of others, but may actually in fact be concern for needs of someone else, may be understood for what it really is. Lord, I ask you to give us ears to really hear one another. I ask for patience for all, that is, a specific fruit of the working of your Holy Spirit within us! Lord, may you please flood this community with your Spirit of grace, peace, love, and wisdom... We need your Spirit's power in us now more than ever here. This community of believers needs you....although we will obediently abide by your will, whatever it may be. We will go where you want us to go, in peace and love, not in bitterness (I pray). We will stay and persevere, in love, patience, and joy, if that is your will for us. Please help us to understand your will, Father. In Jesus' most precious name we pray..... (Please pray with me, and feel free to add your prayers below. My love to all of you.... ~mike) |

Father, I stand in agreement with these prayers because you said that you would hear us in a time of prayer and this is one time that prayer is truly needed. |

Hi Mike.
I lift up the community of believers here on MyChurch.org, most specifically those of us who use this site frequently to fellowship, pray (and seek prayer), learn (and teach), and basically share life as we walk with you. It may or may not have been the intentions of those who developed this site, technically speaking, to foster a diverse yet tight-knit community of believers, your children. But that is exactly what we have become, and your hand has been in it Lord, often very powerfully.
I agree. Wherever they may be, whether here or elsewhere. There's a calling on people's lives - and they're gonna do it come what may.
Lastly. Maybe it was never intentioned to be as close-knit as it it, but that what it has become - whether people realise it or not. So with that close-knit environment in mind Mike, one person is hurting just as much as the other. Get my drift? |

| I forgot to mention. Although bad grammar, that "close-knitness" has become larger than the site itself - as people are joining up outside the realms of MC life, and in most instances have become like blood brothers and sisters - all aiming for the one cause where things began to grow roots from then on. |

Heavenly Father, you hear the crys of our hearts. You see all that has been going on and hearing all. The hurt is unbearable. My heart is breaking also. This has been a place of fellowship for me and has brought me great joy and comfort. I know it is your working. You have placed Bothers and Sisters of mine in my path, who truly love you and are very good stewerds of the talents you have placed within them. For they are the church that you are building They have inspired me, encouraged me and made my days more enjoyable. I lift them up to you today asking you to bring them peace and encouragement,strenghten their hearts through the working of the Holy Spirit. Help them,( me) as they journey through this land and help them find rest and a place to fellowship once again. And a place to help others as this is their hearts desire. You know what is best for all of us. Give us clear direction and order our footsteps. So much more is
needed Father, you are able to meet these needs. Thank you for whatching over your body and deliver us from evil. All blessings and honor and power are yours,
in Jesus' name, amen. |

I know to pray in private, but I know that sometimes prayers need to be said out loud.
Lord thank you for the your love that has knitted us together. May we be forever grateful, come what may. Amen. |

We do need to pray hard. I just lost a reader and I noticed that the star count went from 9 hundred to 880, which is not important to me except that it means their comments are gone and that their account is also. I am trying to find out who it was and noticed that Stu has pulled down most of his site. Oh My Goodness! This is a sad thing. I love you guys sooooo much. |

| Lord, I stand with Brother Mike and ask that you protect the community that has cermented here together in Your name. I pray for forgiving hearts and that love will prevail and overcome any hurt or mistrust. This is your Church Lord and he will not prevail against it. I stand on that scripture that says 'If one or two will agree here on earth then it will be bound on earth as it is in heaven', Lord I reminded that we are engaged in spiritual warfare not against flesh and blood and what goes on here is only part of the bigger picture. Lord guide us through this troubled time into calmer waters, where we can ALL again share in love. In Jesus name Amen |

I feel this song called 'We Will Stand' from Avalon had fit. Sometimes it's hard for me to understand
Why we pull away from each other so easily
Even though we're all walking the same road
Yet we build dividing walls between
Our brothers and ourselves
But I, I don't care what label you may wear
If you believe in Jesus you belong with me
The bond we share is all I care to see
And we can change this world forever
If you will join with me
Join and sing, sing
You're my brother, you're my sister
So take me by the hand
Together we will work until He comes
There's no foe that can defeat us
When we're walking side by side
As long as there is love
We will stand
The day will come when we will be as one
And with a mighty voice together
We will proclaim that Jesus
Jesus is King
And it will echo through the earth
It will shake the nations
And the world will see
See that
The time is here, the time is now
To take a stand, to make a vow
I won't let go, you're not alone
Now and forever we'll sing together
Behind the Song:
"This song was first done over twenty years ago and the message is just as true today as it was then. If we ever needed one another, the time is now. We will accomplish much more for the kingdom of God when we join hands and put our differences aside. Thanks to Russ and Tori Taff for sharing this wonderful anthem with us. We hope it calls all of us to action." - Avalon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwfZotUX-N0 |

I am happy to know the people I got to meet here. I want to know more people that either I can be a blessing to, or that can be a blessing to me. I don't know where we all will wind up, but I wanted everyone to know my name. If you look in facebook, you will find me. If you look in myChurch, you will find me. If you look in heaven, most of all, you will find me. Jesus came and went. But we know where He is and how to find Him. We will see Him one day, too. That joy will be the greatest day in my life right after He saved me. Amen, and amen. |

Father of Agreement, we thank you for the work that you have created, for the relationships that you have divinely appointed across this site, across this land and across this globe through this social network. We ask you to continue to bless the vision of MyChurch--not our will, but your will is being done even as we speak.
We can't think of what it would be like to lose something as precious as this-and so we cry out together in unity of the spirit for your covering and continued blessing. We ask you to bless Joe Suh and his family and the MyChurch Team who have given so much of their creativity, talent and time to see this work established. We may not understand the burdens they have carried as this site has grown and changed, We only see from our limited perspective---give us all the correct perspective--your perspective, Father. Give the creators of this site the creative vision to accomplish the business they have begun in your name with the utmost of care for those who use this site. You have a plan for it all, Father and we trust you...We thank you for each and every person involved in MyChurch--we are a family--what a great blessing!
In Jesus Name,
Amen |

Amen & Amen!!! What a heartfelt & much needed prayer request!!! Thank you!
Lord Jesus,
We lift up all the prayer request & ask that Your Will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. We ask that whatever is not of You that You will intercede and work it out in Your perfect timing. We rebuke the enemy in Your Name Jesus & ask that he get behind us. Lord, use this site for Your Will, Your Purposes, Your Glory, and For Your Holy & Precious Name. We commit all of the changes on myChurch, the hurt feelings & confusion into Your mighty Hands. Lord, soften hearts & renew minds. May we be Your disciples who reflect Your Light & Shine Your Love....no matter what, when, where or to whom. Thank you for Your forgiveness, Your grace, Your mercy & Your love. In Your Name Jesus. Amen!!!

Holy Father, we are your church. We gather without walls to praise you and do your will. We give you all honor and glory for the works you have done here on MC and we join in unity to fight the wiles of the devil. Please Lord, give us understanding and wisdom in these matters, as well as longsuffering. I pray that you will restore fellowship among those who have fallen to the attacks being brought against everyone here including the MC Team. I love you, praise you and give you all honor and glory. In Jesus name I ask for favor upon all of us. Amen. |

Mike I felt the love in your heartfelt prayer, stinging tears well in my eyes at this moment. Lord heal the hurt that has affected everyone here. Help us to remember that we are family, grant us peace and wisdom as we seek to do your will. May we always remember that ALL of this is for YOUR glory. May we continue to encourage each other in the fullness of your grace and mercy. Lord deliver us from the spirit of discontent and build us up as the "Living stones" that we became when Christ died for us, reveal your will, your ways and your love to us as we prepare to fight the battle against evil. Father YOUR will be done. Amen |
