Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.
If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.
Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.
In John 17:20, Jesus prayed for the disciples and the lost.
We have lots of power when we "remind" God of His promises. Praying "in his name" means remaining in him and having the Word of God in us. Jesus is the power source, and His Holy Spirit draws people.
8 things to pray for:
1. Cleansing: what we have that they don't (Ephesians 5:26-27)
We are cleansed by hearing the Word. Other things we listen to, read, talk with people about, etc., affect cleansing.
2. Love and unity
I can't speak against people if I don't pray for them.
3. Greater faith (Romans 10:17)
I can't condemn myself or think that God will give up on me because of my little faith. A man actually asked Jesus to help his unbelief. See 1 John 3:21-22 and James 2:5-6)
4. Spreading of the word of God
5. Work of the Holy Spirit (e.g. conviction)
6. Laborers (people to witness)
7. Acts of love (ministering to needs without pay) (John 13:34-35)
8. Christ will be lifted up in all things that we do.
I have a good opportunity to witness when I get a compliment.
