Thank you for the cross, Lord.
Thank you for the price you paid.
Bearing all my sin and shame, in love you came
And gave Amazing Grace.

Thank you for this love, Lord.
Thank you for the nail-pierced hands.
Wash me in Your cleansing flow, now all I know,
Your forgivness and embrace.

Worthy is the Lamb
seated on the throne.
We crown You now with many crowns
You reign victorious!
High and lifted up
Jesus, Son of God.
The darling of Heaven, crucified,
Worthy is the Lamb.

Analytical thanks bro. .  .

And guys please try as much as possible to keep it peaceful.

At least thats one thing we can borrow from our Catholic bros and sis_s.

Gamine:

Sorry Olaadegbu

don't come here with false doctrines.

Where is PUSH in the bible, please quote scriptures

thanks

You're definately right, but the bible admonishes us to pray without ceasing. I dont think there is anything wrong with making up such acronyms as long as they point us back to the scriptures.

Speaking of which, here's one scripture that has almost literarilly 'revolutionalized' my prayer life:

"And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, he heareth us:
And if we know that[b] He hears[/b] us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have desired of Him" 1 John 5:14-15

The best place to find out the will of God is from His word, because He can never go back on what He has said for He is not a man that He should lie. Therefore, if there is any promise in His word that I desire for myself or for anyone, I can go to Him confidently, without any feeling of guilt or inferiority because I know that He hears me. And because I know that He hears me, I know that He has already answered. It may not come immediately but while I am waiting, I am continually rejoicing because it is no longer a question of "Will God do it"?, it's the assurance that I will see the physical (or otherwise) manifestation of the petition in His time, for there is a time and a season for everything under the sun.

Isn't that so heartwarming?

@ Raymond88
No one is Trying to play God's favorite, we are only Testifying to His goodness and better still strengthening our relationship with Him. Like various NairaLanders have said nobody is perfect. One of the very first verse we ( atleast I ) were(was) taught Roman3:23 reiterates that.

Pataki you beat me to Joshua 1:8. It is trully an amazing scripture.

Another one i like is Psalm 1: 1- 3 (sorry i had to use the amplified version to bring out the talk inside)

   1[a]BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather.

    2But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night.(A)

    3And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].(B)

@ Analytical, Remain blessed my brother, this is a good idea.

Oh Christ Jesus,
Our Lord Our God,
Our Holy Redeemer,
Our Saviour.
I thank you for this day,
For your infinite Love,
Your forgiveness of sin,
Your Crucifixion,
Our Redemption and Salvation.
For our Blessed Mother,

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console,
not so much to be understood as to understand,
not so much to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
it is in dying that we awake to eternal life.


St. Francis of Assisi

God bless you for sharing this . . . .

Oh! God, You are our all in all. . . .Please do perfect Your will in our lives. We love You and choose to love You more. . . . Give us the grace to daily recognise You as the Lord of All.

A song By Elvis Presley. . . I pray God blesses your heart as you read/sing along.
Without Him I could do nothing
Without Him I’d surely fail
Without Him I would be drifting
Like a ship without a sail

Without Him I would be dying
Without Him I’d be enslaved
Without Him life would be worthless
But with Jesus thank God I’m saved

Oh Jesus, oh Jesus
Do you know Him today
Please don't turn Him away
Oh Jesus, my Jesus
Without Him how lost I would be
Without Him how lost I would be


@y'all
Stay Blessed in Him.

Wonderful thread. I'm in.

Analytical, God bless you real good man.

''Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.  For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.''

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

Prayer for Sleep



O heavenly Father, you give your children sleep for the refreshing of soul and body: Grant me this gift, I pray; keep me in that perfect peace which you have promised to those whose minds are fixed on you; and give me such a sense of your presence, that in the hours of silence I may enjoy the blessed assurance of your love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Apostles' Creed



I believe in God, the father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

"I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.

says the Lord your God!

I agree with A K O.

Don't know 'bout y'all bhu this verse gives me some kind of peace and makes me fine no matter wha i'm passing tru.

Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace



Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console,
not so much to be understood as to understand,
not so much to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,

Healing wounded relationships 12 Aug 2008
'I WILL HEAL MY PEOPLE AND LET THEM ENJOY, PEACE AND SECURITY.' JEREMIAH 33:6
The 'surgery' stage of confession and apology can happen quickly. The more complex 'recovery' stage of forgiveness, healing and restoration takes time. Remember the last time you took your car to the mechanic? You brought it in for one problem and he found others you weren't aware of that needed attention. In the same way, the healing process brings into focus issues related to the original one: communication, finances, time, parenting and intimacy issues. If you want a healthy relationship there are no shortcuts; you have to deal with them. If you try to cheat the process, your unfinished business will keep undermining your hopes for a whole and happy relationship. So if you haven't already guessed it, restoration work isn't for the cowardly or lazy. But the rewards are well worth it, so roll up your sleeves! Reinforce each other's efforts. God said, 'Render, honour to whom honour is due' (Romans 13:7) because it's a principle that works. We routinely thank the waiter, the taxi driver and the checkout clerk. It's an ingrained, invaluable courtesy and one we'd do well to take home. People working on relationships need the healing power that comes from regular doses of courtesy. You'd be amazed at the restorative mileage you get from simply expressing your appreciation. The 'principle of reinforcement' says you get more of what you acknowledge, so remember to thank your partner for even the smallest effort to improve things. Not only will you be honouring them, you'll be inviting more of the same and making interest-bearing deposits in your relationship account.

@Pataki

You in Christian thread!

Lord Jesus.

I am shifting to religious thread as well

A very good idea indeed. I just hope that its well moderated,

God Is Our Hope



God is our hope and strength,
a very present help in trouble.

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved,
and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though the waters thereof rage and swell,
and though the mountains shake at the tempest of the same.

There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God,
the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.
