***PLEASE indulge me in this and it does not matter your belief nor does it matter if it is this prayer you say, but please take the time.*** *My friends this is a prayer and not a poem, but if you would just read it aloud then you would be praying for a little baby and a very dear friend. It will only take a minute and there is no name at the end as it will be the prayer from all those that recite it. I posted here in this forum as it is the busiest forum in here and the more prayers the better. It is nothing fancy and you need not thank me just leave your smile so that Martie may know you were here supporting her. Thank you and I know that I can count on you all. Lord ... Thank you for all that you have blessed me with and for all the beauty you have placed before me. You know of a little one in "YOUR" care right now and lord I ask that you comfort her and all those at her side tonight. I know that you will see to her as you see fit and I know that you have plans for all of us and I would ask Lord that you reach out and touch the hearts of Martie and those in tears of fright tonight my lord. Please Lord let them feel the comfort of your grace and the peace that you offer to us freely. I ask this in my love for you and in the love and acceptance of your son Jesus Christ, our savior and our light from the ravages of earthly binds. Thank you Lord and I ask this once again in Jesus's name.........Amen [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 10-12-2000).] |

A few of my favorite books in the Bible considered to be "poetry" Psalms, Proverbs, and Song of Solomon which contain words of praise, prayer and poetry. Yes, this is every bit poetry but also a prayer and yes it is very appropriate in an open forum,. because all prayer should be open and seen by as many as care to respond, and I will. God bless!

Dear Mark and poet friends...the infection that the baby Andrea had is not in the blood...she is doing much better...although still tiny and in much danger...I feel in my heart that she will be alright...thanks in part to all the beautiful hearts that have prayed for her. I don't really know how to tell you how much it means to me and the baby's parents to have so many people, so many hearts lifted in this manner...I know it is very powerful medicine...Thank you! Much love, Martie |

God is with us all no matter what are beliefs are and He is especially with those in need. We will pray for Marie and the baby that He keep them safe in all their needs. It's just good to know that He will never abandon us in our times of need. We love You Lord. Amen. There are two path's in life. Your own and God's. If you want to walk with God, you've got to go His way. The way of the truth and the light. All my blessings, trevorskogsbergh Better to die, and sleep The never-waking sleep, than linger on And dare to live when the souls life is gone. |
