Heads Up!

Christmas is coming!  

There is so much excitement with that -

for some.

But to others, it is one of the most difficult times of the year.

Many have lost loved ones.

Some are battling health issues.

Others are struggling financially.

Depression is rampant.

And many are trying to bring kids home forever....

but there have been snags and delays...

God's word is clear:

"Bear one another's burdens."

Galatians 6:2

Tomorrow will be a day of prayer {and fasting}.  Yesterday I was talking to a dear friend.  She was telling me about some exciting things God was doing in the lives of her extended family.  She said that she had prayed for years for things to happen - with little result.   She had never fasted before until recently, when she had heard me mention it.  And since incorporating fasting into her life, she was now seeing God do some huge things.  

Sweet bloggy friends and lovely lurkers - there have been certain situations in my life that I could not have handled, had I not been fasting about them.  If you have never fasted before, I would encourage you to ask the Lord for the courage to do it.  Even just one meal.

God loves us so much.  He doesn't ask us to fast to ruin our day.  I firmly believe He desires to see our commitment and dedication to see something happen.  He is not a kill-joy. He longs for relationship with us....deep and personal - He wants to talk to us....

I know in my own life, when I feel things spinning out of control, I fast.  It calms me.  It makes me feel safe.  I can hear God speak more clearly.  I can feel His presence.  I can sense His care.  

So tomorrow, we will fast and pray for each other.  

Please consider joining us.  

All you have to do is post a comment with your prayer request.  There will be, literally, people around the world that will pray for your needs.  

If it is a need you have shared in the past - That's OKAY.  We are here bearing your burden's with you.  Some concerns take years of diligent prayer to see the results!  

Yesterday I told a Memorial Box story...it was a gargantuan concern Dw and I had been praying for for years.  Many years.  God moved when the time was right {and the hearts were yielded!!}.   I just don't know that things would have changed had we not been fasting and praying!

If you have a personal need, you are welcome just to post "personal".  God knows.  We don't need to.  

I am thankful for each of you.  Your prayers for my family have buoyed us through many a not-so-fun time!! I am looking forward to praying again for all those who list a need.  

PLEASE POST YOUR NEED/REQUEST ON TOMORROW'S POST.
I will put it up just after midnight!!
