Helen, I'm sorry and I will pray for Caressa tonight and keep her in my prayers as I also pray for my family and friends. When you get a moment and only when you get a moment, please post this up in my prayer circle page, as I'm sending people from myspace over to the new site. I will post a prayer on myspace in my blog this weekend. Bless you and your family and most of all your sister. I am blessed to have you in my life

God Bless
Felipe

DON'T QUIT:

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road your trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and its turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When they might have won, had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victors cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when your hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit!

I offer this prayer to Felipe, his friends, his family and all who have requested prayer:

Father, God - as we come before you through your son Jesus Christ - we invite the Holy Spirit to anoint this time of prayer. We thank you for all that you are and all that we seek to be. Thank you for hearing our prayers. Thank you for loving us unconditionally. Thank you for your grace, mercy and forgiveness. I come to you, with blind faith - daring to believe in the things that I cannot see. I know that you are NOT man that you should lie therefore, I believe and know that you are all that you proclaim to be. Thank you for the many things that we take for granted. Forgive us father of our sins, cleanse us as we desire to do your will. Father, you are the God of healing. You are the great Physician. Your will is NOT for illness or tragedy. I know that you will use what the enemy intended for bad and you WILL use it for good, for your honor and glory. Although we cannot understand the "why" behind the valley - we know that we have to endure the valley in order to get to the mountain. I pray that you will strengthen those who are hurting; those who don't see hope, grant them favor and wisdom; those who are dealing with tragedy - let them see your face; embrace them; those who are suffering from illness or death of a loved one, carry them; equip them. Father, we thank you for Jeremiah 29:11. I thank you for never giving up on me, never forsaking me. Thank you for Felipe. Bless him; anoint him; guide him; direct him. We stand in agreement; daring to believe, in Jesus name - Amen.
