Pray, One for Another

Bless me Indeed by Mercy ME

this song has been on my mind a lot lately. So many people think the prayer of Jabez is about things.....is it really? Or is it about a larger territory to spread the word of Him/ God. Last night out of boredom i watched TV. something i usually only do when children are. they were praying for each other, one for another. it made me think of the song too! Yes it's okay to receive blessing! Yes we are to be fruitful. How are you fruitful though? is it by growing up a family in God and His ways? is it by the most toys wins? the last verse below says it all
James 5:7 Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains.
8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near.
9 Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!
10 Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11 As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
12 Above all, my brothers, do not swear-not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned.
13 Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.
14 Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
17 Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.
18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.
19 My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,
20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

Bless me Indeed By Mercy ME

My Jesus, I need you now
May your grace look my way
To hear you sing over me
Make your desires and mine the same

[CHORUS:]
Bless me indeed
Open wide my horizons to share your name
Bless me indeed
Let your hand keep me
from harm and pain
Bless me
Bless me

Lord I cling to your heart
Your love is what I need
All great things come from
May your greatness fall on me

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE:]
The Lord bless and keep you
May his face shine upon you
And be gracious and
give you peace

[CHORUS]

1 CH 4:9 (NLT) There was a man named Jabez who was more distinguished than any of his brothers. His mother named him Jabez [fn] because his birth had been so painful.
10 He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and extend my lands! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!" And God granted him his request

Mansions by Burlap to Cashmere

God of light, light me some passion.
Green fields and lovely mansions.
Let your mansions live inside me.
Love me, light me, give me, guide me.
Cross of skin and naked figure.

Broken legs and crooked fingers,
Help me live for good tomorrow,
Today's too late and full of sorrow.
Light is good and dark is evil,
But I'm running around
Through the cross and through the steeples,
Trying to make it to higher ground.
Come on light, please live beside me.
Love me, light me, give me, guide me.
Pride and hate, they live inside me.
I need your love enough to guide me.

Help me walk across these borders.
I'm a pilgrim in deep waters.
Faithful God, like faithful sunrise,
Help me break from all these old ties.
Lead me all to that is holy.
Break these chains, but break them slowly.

God of light, light me some passion.
Green fields and lovely mansions.
Let your mansions live inside me.
Love me, light me, give me, guide me.
Let your mansions live beside me,
Love me, light me, give me, guide me.
Let your mansions live beside me,
Love me, light me, give me, guide me...

As you read that, Did you just pray a prayer? PTL ask Him into your heart and to forgive you of your sins. that's all it takes.
Dare You to Move
