You are a father who never fails his children and because of who you are I no I have nothing to fear.  You have created and builded it it all.  You are able to tare down and build up again.  I know that  no destruction can hard me or come my way unless it be your will.  Father I take comfort in knowing my life is in your hands and trust you to do with it as you see fit.  I thank you in advance for the great love you have for me, a love that flows from me and reaches all that I love, care for, and beyond.

Father I thank you for life health and strength and I ask you to fill us with more of you.
Open the hearts and minds of your children fill our heads with wisdom and knowledge that only comes from you.   Teach us how to be the children you'd have us to be.  Let your light shine in us bright enough that it will give those who don't know you a desire to know you.  Father I ask that you open the hearts and minds of  our unsaved family members and friends. 


Lord I ask that you be with the sick and shut in. Provide them with the comfort, support and healing they need for there situation and let all honor and praise be yours.  Lord I ask that you be with those who have lost there homes due to the floods for I know that no matter with the situation and what's going on in this world you can change the negatives and turn it around for good. You Father are an awesome God.  There's none like you and there will never been anyone like you.  Father I ask that you touch your children right now, providing them with everything they need in every situation.  In Jesus name I pray..

Father alone and lonely is what I m feeling right now.  Yet, I know that you are a healer,helper,burdenbearer and mind regulator.  Lord I ask that you fill my cup.  Father fill my cup with all I'll need to make it through this day.  Fill my cup with you.  I really don't know why I feel this way.  I really don't know why my soul feels so down cast but, I am thankful that I have you to turn to.  My troubles and hardships are not so great that you can not take care of what ever the problem is and show me what it is I'm needing on this day. 

Lord pour your sweet spirit on me and be all that I need in this day..
In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Prayer of Comfort

Father I m asking for an extra dose of you.  Father be with the Oram family right now. 
You've taken a dear woman from us. One who will forever have a place in our hearts.  
Lord we don't know the reason why you felt it was time to call her home but we continue to put our trust, hope, life, and dreams in your hands.  I ask that you be everything we need realizing that from day to day we may not exactly know what that need may be.  Father I ask that you strengthen us in ways unimaginable and be that strong tower and rock when the days seem to be unbearable and nights are dark and lonely.  
Father wrap your arms around Sharmond's family especially her husband, children and those who loved her.  Strengthen our spirit Lord and teach us how to adjust to the fact that she's no longer here with us in the flesh, but we thank you for all the precious moments and memories you've given us. 
We thank you for the special times we were able to share with her and we thank you for allowing us to be in her presence and be a witness the changes you'd made in her by entering her life. 

Father she was my friend and I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around the fact that she will no longer be a phone call away. At times my heart is so heavy Lord and I don't know what to do or say, but I know I can look to the hills from where my help comes from. 
I know that in my distress I can look to you. 
I ask you to forgive me for times when I've entangled myself in my own thoughts of loss and pain and didn't take the time to look to you.  I pray that you will continue to lead and guide me.   
I thank you for bring her into my life. 
I thank you for the times when I needed someone to talk to you allowed her to be that person. 
I thank you for all the expressions of love you allowed me to see through her and share with her.   
In Jesus name I pray...Amen

 ⁷ In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me.

       and save the son of your maidservant.
