Plenty of times I come online and have good ideas to post.. then get caught up doing other things.. I just added a new section to this journal which took simply ages to work properly..

Above are daily prayers from Germaine Copeland.. from her Word ministry website.. I recently bought her book.. Prayers that Avail Much.. a big volume of three different books of prayers for all occasions written from scriptures.. They have been a life saver of such..

We are told to pray in the Spirit with all kinds of prayers and requests.. and well how many times we pray for someone and really really don't know what to pray.. but we want to pray really bad for them.. Certainly if we have been praying for a very long time for someone or something and it doesn't appear to be changing we feel like wanting to give up.. But yet we don't and know we cannot!!

This book helps me praise God.. by using scriptures on praise when my own words fail me.. helps me pray for those who do not know Jesus.. the needy.. my own family.. my church... etc.. And it is strengthening me in knowing what Gods will is.. because His will is the Word and as I pray it outloud the words of God are going down into my spirit!!

I was laying in bed this morning before even properly being awake.. God was speaking to me.. Reminding me of the words coming out of my mouth.. and that they influence the situation I am in.. I have been speaking negative words about my husband of late.. And his whole being and way he responds in the household seems worse then normal... This is apart from my prayers!! Thank You Lord for helping me to realise how I speak at all times IS important.. even if not to someone but even about them!! But I can see that my attitude is not right at all times if I am not always in love..

God was also reminding me about my prayers.. how that I can in faith.. call things that be not as though they are.. God spoke the world into existance.. I confessed with my mouth to salvation.. And so it is with anything else that works in that realm.. and yet my whole self has to then act in agreement with what I have said.. It has to become who I am in all parts of me..

If I am praying for God for my husband... such as this prayer below where I pray in the third person for my hubby until he wants to pray it with me.. standing in the gap for him.. This is one part of a prayer out of the book but I also found a copy online at her website.. for a new creation marriage..

*Father, I take responsibility for my family just as Christ does for the Church. I am a provider for my family. Marriage calls for reciprocal giving, so I love my wife with the self-giving love that Christ showed for His family, the Church.

You are helping me provide leadership to my wife the way Christ does to His Church, not by domineering, but by cherishing. I will go all out in my love for her, exactly as Christ did for the Church — a love marked by giving, not getting.

And then I go around speaking of the bad things he has been doing and getting on his back about things.. instead of building him up and speaking of the good.. then my faith amounts to nothing.. because faith without works.. love.. is dead..

I really really see that by praying the Word of God it is convicting me.. but also showing me where I need to change things.. because one of my heart cries is.. please help me know what I am doing that is so wrong!!

Here is the site for Word Ministries.. http://www.prayers.org/

And here is a site where you can find written prayers that pertain to situations in your life.. http://www.prayers.org/prayersearch.asp

All you have to do is type in a word.. such as husband.. pain.. suffering.. peace.. etc.. and then it will bring up a section of written prayers.. and you choose the one that might be applicable.. and then click on that.. it opens to maybe a short written piece on the subject.. then you can find written a prayer using scriptures.. and also with the scriptures below for further study or to meditate on..

I hope the site blesses you as it has me..
