Prayer Requests 12/24/09

Merry Christmas! Today, Love in Action hosted a Christmas Eve worship service and luncheon, which got me thinking about the innkeeper who turned away Mary and Joseph on the night of our savior's birth; how often we turn away from those in need. And in doing so, how we turn away from Jesus and the love He offers us so freely.

A friend of a friend — Virginia Carlsen — wrote the following poem, which I share with you all tonight. Please keep this ministry and its guests in your prayers, and please also hold the specific needs of our guests in your prayers this week.

May Christ be born again and again in our hearts!

Blessings,

Erika

-----------------------------------------

The Innkeeper

by Virginia Carlsen

The door had closed and I turned away

From the couple who stood in their plight.

How could I know that the Hope of the world

Would be born in my village that night?

How could I dream that the words I had said

Would be quoted again and again?

"No room in the inn" — I had said them before,

But never to such as them.

How gladly I'd have given my room, my bed,

My all to Him that night,

That in my inn would have been born

The Prince of Peace and Light.

How could I guess that by shutting the door

On two people of lowly estate,

I was shutting out the Prince of Peace,

And now it is too late.

*****

Too late for him, but not for us.

Christ still is at our door.

He's seeking entrance to our hearts

To reign for-evermore.

And though at Christmas time the Christ

Two thousand times be born,

If He's not born within our hearts

Our hope is still forlorn.

So let us at this Holy time

Accept God's cure for sin;

And open wide our hearts this day

To let the Christ-Child in.

-- Alonzo L.: Please pray that I find my family.

-- Ruby: For everyone, Merry Christmas!

-- So my Mom and I can find a permanent home.

-- Pray that my brother Oscar recovers from pneumonia in Broward General.

-- For my father Donald.

-- Pray for Gail A. and Kelly R.

-- Dear Lord, I lift up my prayers, always upwards to your house in Jesus’ name. I always pray. I pray that you hear this prayer to be clean and sober. Amen and amen.

-- That my sisters do the right thing and help me accomplish what I am supposed to do.

-- Hope

-- That I be blessed with a million plus to open a homeless mission – The House of Love.

Prayer Requests 12/17/09

Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth. Hosea 6:3

This week, the rain has been incredible! At Thursday's Love in Action feeding, the rain was coming in sheets, in torrents .... We walked in water up to our knees to get in the front door. Our guests were soaked, it seemed like the rain would never stop. As I write this, it's still sprinkling.

God promises He is with us, just as sure as the rains that fall. This week we will celebrate the coming of Jesus Christ on our Earth, and his love is like that torrent. It washes over us just like the rain this week that washed away everything in its path. He washes away our sins, our shortfalls, our differences. He loved us enough to bring his only son into this world that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but will have eternal life.

We are so desperately in need of his loving reconciliation. We are so thirsty for the healing waters that wash over us by his hand. And like the massive rains of the past few days, He offers us his love and forgiveness freely.

Please keep this ministry in your prayers this week, and pray for the needs of all those whom we care about so deeply. Your prayers are received gratefully and with love.

Merry Christmas!

Prayer Requests 11/19/09

At last night's Love in Action feeding, we were blessed to have a group of twelve Girl Scout volunteers (with five parents), as well as our usual crew of athletes from American Heritage High School helping out. We also had another high schooler in the parking lot giving out backpacks she had collected at school!

It brought to mind the section of Matthew 18 when the disciples ask Jesus, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" Jesus calls a child to his side and says: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Amen! What a beautiful example they set for us! In fact, the first 10 or so prayers on the list this week were offered up by the little girls from the Scout troop, who wanted to pray for the people they met at the feeding.

Many of our guests commented on how wonderful it was to see the smiling, servant faces of these kids. One man, a former Marine and father of four, couldn't stop crying because seeing the girls reminded him of his own children, whose lives he is missing due to addiction and homelessness. You'll see him referred to in the girls' prayers; they were so worried about him.

Please keep these prayers at your side this week. Please lift them up with your own. And let us be thankful for our many blessings, even as we remember those who are struggling all around us.

Blessings,

Erika

Please pray for Joe's success and for financial blessings for his family.

"Last night one of our Thursday night guests came up to me in the sanctuary and gave me great news! He reminded me of having his feet washed about a month ago and how it had helped to transform his life. He went on to say that for the first time in his life he has attended church for 5 consecutive Sundays and on this coming Sunday, he will become a member! Transforming lives….one at a time!"

Praise be to God! Thank you all for holding these precious people and their needs in your prayers.

Prayer Requests 10/29/09

Here are the prayer requests from this week's Love in Action feeding. We had a big group of athletes from American Heritage school with us this week, in addition to our friends from Calvary and our usual volunteers.

It was so wonderful to see such a diverse group of people working together to nourish the bodies and spirits of our guests in Jesus' name!! One of my favorite moments was seeing and hearing all those big, hulking teenage athletes singing "This Little Light of Mine" around the piano before the guests came into the dining room. Their joy was infectious! It was priceless.
