A Prayer for the Infertile
Lord, thank you for this Friday. Today we come asking for your help for couples that are trying to have a baby but can't get pregnant. We know that your timing is perfect, Lord. Please ease the anxiety of these couples and help them to get pregnant as you will it. For those people that are seeking medical help in getting pregnant, we ask that you would give wisdom to their doctors and that ethical decisions would be made. You created us with the desire to be families, Lord, so we desire to be parents, but Father, show us if that's not your will for us and then heal our hurting hearts if that's the case. Thank you, Jesus. We love you.Please join Given Life in praying for:
Ricardo. He is still struggling with his HIV and hepatitis C treatment. Praise God that he has a relationship with Jesus. Ask that God would use his testimony to bring people to Christ. Pray that God would continue to reveal His love and grace to Ricardo, and that Ricardo's health would continue to improve.

A message from Given Life:
To those of you who visit regularly, I must apologize for the extended absence of the daily prayer this week. The system that I use to post the prayers was down for some time (or at least it wouldn't let me access it), and that was enough to trip me up in my diligence in maintaining the site. I'll do better! Thanks for your patience and partnership in prayer. Angela, thanks for posting prayers and for the encouragement.

A Prayer Against Legalism and Pride
Lord, tear down the machine that I keep building. It keeps cropping uplike a weed. Clear away the devices that I create to cope with the
world, and help me to become wholly and completely dependent upon you,
Lord. Nothing that we do can get us to where we need to be, where you
want to put us. Nothing on this earth that we grab a hold of can make us
whole. Nothing except you! Make us whole, Lord! We need you above all
else! We love you, Lord!

Thank You for Your Grace
Lord, thank you for your grace and mercy. We are a fallen people, Lord, and we continue to stumble, but in you, there is no condemnation. Help us to keep our eyes on you, Jesus, and help us to realize that we can't live life effectively on our own. We need you, Father. We love you, Holy Spirit.Scripture that Gives Life:
Luke 21:12-19, "12...there will be a time of great persecution. You will be dragged into synagogues and prisons, and you will be accused before kings and governors of being my followers. 13 This will be your opportunity to tell them about me. 14 So don't worry about how to answer the charges against you, 15 for I will give you the right words and such wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to reply! 16 Even those closest to you – your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends – will betray you. And some of you will be killed. 17 And everyone will hate you because of your allegiance to me. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish! 19 By standing firm, you will win your souls."

My husband of 13yrs and our 3 children have recently filed for bankruptcy due to hospital bills and were forced to leave our 2story home for a 1975 double wide. We had to give back our new Rendevous and get an 89 buick. I dont know how many times we had driven past that old doublewide on our way to the park and never noticed it. We made it new again, to shelter us as it was built to do just as God makes many of us old, not so great christians new again. We have thanked God for this tough life lesson and the joy it has brought our family. Please pray for us, The Jennings family. Thank you Jesus for teaching us not to over look the abandoned old things in life for new shiny ones. Thank you God for washing us white as snow with you merciful blood and turning us brand new.In Jesus name I pray. Amen Angela Jennings
