Happy Wednesday everyone! The weather will be turning a little warmer here in the Pittsburgh area later this week so that is something to look towards indeed. Above freezing is warmer by the way.
I want to thank you for all the comments that you shared regarding the video about the life of Eliot Hartman Mooney, of course it was a tearful story but if you listened to the message at the end. How the message from God about life, devotion and unconditional love by his parents. This story about what truly matters in life, our life, your life it was all summed up in that short video. It puts our lives into perspective. I shared that video with some co workers last night, I don't know how it came up but I felt led. Much like I feel led when my fingers glide about the keyboard as I type my post each morning. But everyone felt impacted by the video and I am glad that I was able to share it.
Late last night I saw a comment on my post from Bertha Mullin who asked for prayers for a couple of families in Pike County, KY. She asked for prayers from this site regarding how a family with children was escorted from a homeless shelter. I don't know the rest of the story but in my prayers I lifted them up to God and I encourage you as well to life them up in your prayers.
Thank you for that.
Each Wednesday I want to title this post 'A Wish and Prayers on Wednesday'. Meaning I want to turn our wishes into prayers, or a prayer chain if you will.
If you know of someone or want prayers for yourself please list them here.
My goal is here for you to list them, review them and pray on them.
We often wish on our Birthday over Candles. We often throw a coin into a fountain and wish. The first star we wish upon at night. We wish for that winning lottery number to play and win those millions. But wishes often come up empty.
We all know the power of a single prayer, and when two or more pray the power of prayer turns into real energy. God hears your prayers, God listens and the energy of those prayers often leads to real answers from God.
So today I turn my wishes into prayers.
Won't you share your prayer requests today.
The Bible states:
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (NIV)
and in
Jeremiah 29:13
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. (NIV)
and within
Mark 11:24
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. (NIV)
~~~~~~~
I hope you share your prayers here. I hope you review the prayer requests of others and may the confidence that prayer truly works give you more power than any wish on a candle.
Have a great Wednesday everyone.
Till next time.... Smile, share and believe!
