Prayers please

This has nothing to do with weight loss, but I am petitioning you, my brothers and sisters in Christ to pray for me. The Lord has laid it on my heart to write an article for a christian magazine. I know this is the Lord's idea because I never would have dreamed this up on my own. Although I did well in my college writing courses, I never imagined writing something that anyone would ever read. I have been praying for the Lord's leading and direction in my life and he has shown himself to me in astounding ways. I guess this is another answer to that prayer. Try the prayer of Jabez sometime, it works. You will find blessings pouring in. Love to you all, Sherri A humble servant of Christ.

hooray for you sherri! I would like to consider myself an "unplublished writer" i am too plagued by fear of rejection to use my talent.... andie

Congratulations on the call to write an article.Your in my prayers.I would like to know what the prayer of Jabez is I dont think Ive ever heard that or I havent had any one tell me about it.God Bless,Audrey

Audrey, Go to a Christian book store and ask them for a copy of the Prayer of Jabez. (Actually they sell it at Walmart, too.) It is a very small book about a simple prayer prayed by an almost unknown man in the bible, and it will truly change your life if you read the book and start to pray the prayer. Basically it is about praying for God to increase your boundaries and bless you. It is wonderful. In Christ, Sherri

God Bless you Sherri, God is Da Bomb! About a month ago now the Lord put a fictional story in my heart. I mean I woke up with it. The plot and all from beginning to the end. I carried around my writing folder for about 3 days. I told everybody what he gave to me, some of my friends where excited for me, and some picked it apart and then.......................... Well, I am embarrassed to say I haven't picked it up since. Thank You for mentioning the prayer of Jabez and that the Lord gave you something to write. You have quickened my spirit. The Lord truly works in mysterious ways. I will pull my folder out and get back to work. How easily we forget when the Lord speaks to us. I will pray for you and you for me okay. We should never take God's blessings for granted. PS. I wouldn't consider myself a professional writer, but then again I guess we are what God says we are. Agape: Andrea
