Prayer List

Last updated: February 27, 2009

Jesus Christ rose from the dead and is alive!!! Now He is always with us and cares about us. He is the greatest physician and can heal us in every way for our own good. If we ask Him, He will help us carry the crosses we have to carry. In the Garden of Gethsemane He prayed for you and me. He willingly went to the cross to pay the penalty of my sins and your sins. So all we have to do is accept this priceless gift to us, and we will be saved. Furthermore, since our Lord Jesus Christ is risen and alive, He is with us always.

Thank you, dear Lord God, for all the prayers you have answered in the past and will answer in the future, and most of all for showing us how much you care about us. Dear Lord, I pray that you will help us to show your love and grace to others and follow your will. I pray for each person and each family listed below and for each person who visits this web site and reads this.
I pray for the United States of America. I pray that it will always be a nation that seeks to follow and honor God and seeks to know and do the will of God. I pray that all the leaders of the United States as well as all other countries in the world will reflect Judeo-Christian values that are obedient to the values that honor God and will encourage obedience to the principles set forth in God's Holy Word. I pray that God will forgive us for allowing our country to leave God out of our most important decisions and forgive us for government policies that encourage greed, self-centeredness, and disobedience to God's precious Holy Bible and Commandments. I especially ask for forgiveness for the policies that leave God out of our schools by forbidding Bible reading in school and praying to the God who created the world and everything and everyone in it from the very beginning. I pray that God will always be honored in our country and throughout the world. I also pray that God will be honored in our personal lives and in our families that we might be worthy to bear the name of our precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as Christians.

In the name of the precious name of my Lord Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
