Dear Friends,

As we all know, the power of prayer is an amazing thing. We also know that if we'll just ask Him, He will always answer our prayers. The answer we get may not always be the answer that we're seeking, or think that we need, but God knows what is best for us.

The Bible says:
"...The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
                                                 Philippians 4:5-7

"God loves it when when we talk to Him...Tell Him exactly how you feel. Pour out your heart to Him. Unload every emotion that you're feeling. God can handle your doubt, anger, fear, grief, confusion, and questions. Admitting these things to Him can be a statement of true and sincere faith!"
                                                Rick Warren, The Purpose-Driven Life

A friend of mine sent me the most beautiful prayer the other day, and I just had to share it with you...

Lord, fill me with Your Spirit today. I can't fix yesterday, and tomorrow seems a long way off.
Today, Lord: Cleanse my heart from the fleshly residue of yesterday's fallen humanity.
Today, Lord: Scrub my thoughts and motives till they shine with singularity - wanting Your glory alone.
Today, Lord: Wash me and I will be whiter than snow, purposed afresh to follow Your footsteps.
Lord, fill me with Your Spirit today. The tasks ahead are too much. If I must go alone, I cannot go at all.
Today, Lord: I'm not smart enough to know what is best, and not strong enough to choose what is rightous.
Today, Lord, My husband, my family, my friends, my church, my ministry...I am not sufficient for these things, and I know it.
Today, Lord: Or else what unfolds in the hours ahead will fade into the abyss of worthless, wasted time.
Lord, fill me with Your Spirit right now. Come, make these 24 hours all You've created them to be.
Now, Lord: You know how to 'give good gifts' and I am so thankful to be called Your child.
Now, Lord: By faith, I receive the Presence You've promised, and delight to know that Your Word is true.
Now, Lord: You are filling my life with peace and purpose and freeing my soul to sing.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Ephesians 5:18, Be filled with the Spirit.

I know you've seen the bumper stickers and the magnets on the cars. You've seen the yellow ribbons and the banners in the windows. The war in Iraq seems to have gone on for so long. It seems so distant for a lot of us, yet it is SO REAL!!! Please continue to remember our troops. Please pray for the men and women who risk their lives everyday for the security of our freedom! God hears our prayers! When you talk to Him each day, don't forget our heroes!

P.S. Please pray for our country with our upcoming nominations and election for president. This is a very important year for the presidency. Please pray that God will oversee this process and that His will will be done.

I have made a precious new friend. Her name is Gladys Wambui. She and her husband, Peter, and their two daughters live in Kisii, Kenya. They are native Kenyan missioniaries, and they minister to the people in their area. Please pray for them as they do the Lord's work so many thousands of miles away. They are true servants of God. Please pray for the Kisii people as well, as they are hungry for the Word! Currently there is much political instability in Kenya. They have seen so much violence and death in the last several months. Please pray for the safety of these people! And lastly, please pray for Gladys, as she will give birth to twin boys in the next month.

Thanks so much!!!
