"Prevailing or effectual prayer, is that
prayer which attains the blessing that it seeks."

Morning Devotional...Personal Life:
Face Down, Listening
--Genesis 17:3-4
The Scriptures declare, "Abram fell on his face" as the Lord talked with him (Genesis 17:3). Abraham was reverent and submissive. Probably there is no better picture anywhere in the Bible of the right place for mankind and the right place for God. God was on His throne speaking, and Abraham was on his face listening!
Where God and man are in relationship, this must be the ideal. God must be the communicator, and man must be in the listening, obeying attitude. If men and women are not willing to assume this listening attitude, there will be no meeting with God in living, personal experience....
Yes, Abraham was lying face down in humility and reverence, overcome with awe in this encounter with God. He knew that he was surrounded by the world's greatest mystery. The presence of this One who fills all things was pressing in upon him, rising above him, defeating him, taking away his natural self-confidence. God was overwhelming him and yet inviting and calling him, pleading with him and promising him a great future as a friend of God!
Men Who Met God, 21-22."In this fast-paced, busy life, Lord, we don't spend nearly enough time face down before You. Tozer talks of lying flat on his face in his study in prayer; draw me to this position of humility and reverence more often this year, I pray. Amen."(https://www.christianphotographers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fchristianphotographers.com%2Fforum%2Fgraphics%2Fmusicbar.gif&hash=637dd9890548bda3a02471b2c36ba2756754912b)
Draw Me Nearer (http://christianphotographers.com/sounds/drawmenearer.mid)
(Click to hear music)
Author: Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915
Musician: William H. Doane, 1832-1915
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Refrain
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
Refrain
O the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!
Refrain
There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
Refrain

Thank you Pat for that wonderful devotional.
God Bless
Love Ruthie
:groupwave:
Thank you Lord!
12 Miners Found Alive!
It's a miracle!
:groupwave:
Yes, Pat. It IS a miracle!!! Praise God.
I love Draw Me Nearer. Thanks for that, Pat.
Marilyn, I've used the nasal strips at times. They really help.
Alma, I'm so sorry about Lionel. Maybe the vet will find exactly what is wrong and treat him quickly.
Pat, Angel doesn't have the same address. I'm not even sure what it is. It's hotmail I know, but not sure about the rest. I don't email her since she lives with me. :)
I'm tired tonight, so will say goodnight. I didn't sleep well last night, so tonight's the night. I'll sleep like a baby.
Hey there, Nita! Sure hope you get a good night's sleep.
I have just uploaded some more photos of David and his family. I'll see if I can get a link ... hang on!

I guess I'm going to have to study how to do that correctly --- one of these days. :-[
Good devotional and great music....from today/yest. It is 11 PM and I am sort of tired. Finally got to the computer, had a busy day.
Visted your photo's, Jane and they are nice. Left a short comment.
Goodness Marilyn, you have been a busy gal! Etta Sue, I do so like your graphics. Certainly catches one's attention.
Read all the posts and it is so great to have Chris & Margit back. I do enjoy the music and that is a cute bird! We get lots in the garden as Wendy puts out Suet, etc. and they have a feast. Misty (cat) watches them with great hope. So far, they escape being her tasty treat! I try to keep her too stuffed with cat food to be hungry and have a large bell on her collar.
Lots of rain here, but not like in California. How terrible! Hope things get better and the sun comes out again. Isn't there a song about 'It Never Rains in Calif.?'
Best not play that around Al!
Too tired to think, so will give a small smile:
Remarkable Parrot
Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered.
They discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother.
The first said: "I built a big house for our mother."
The second said: "I sent her a Mercedes with a driver."
The third said: "You remember how our mother enjoys reading the Bible.
Now she can't see very well.
So I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible.
It took elders in the church 12 years to teach him.
Mama just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot recites it."
Soon thereafter, their mother sent out her letters of thanks.
"Milton," she said, "the house you built is so huge.
I live only in one room, but I have to clean the whole house.
"Gerald," she said, "I am too old to travel.
I stay most of the time at home so I rarely use the Mercedes.
And that driver is so rude! He's a pain!"
"But Donald," she said, "the little chicken you sent was delicious!"
:) :) :) :)
Pleasant Evening/Day all and God Bless.

Oh, dear...
The news is now untrue and only one miner has survived.
Such sad news.
It's just after 3 am and I just can't believe this news.
We must pray for the families of these miners who were told first that 12 miners were alive and only one dead and now the news is only one alive and he might not survive.
So sad.

Off course you are right Pat. These families will need all the help they can get...what better way is there than to pray for the families. I'll be praying with you!
This is very sad...

Hi everyone.
Indeed the miner's situation is sad and I can't imagine what those families have gone through the last 48 hours or so. I was shocked when I heard them talking this morning that the laws are written such that the mine company has no responsibility to the families other than for salary that the miners would have earned.
It is a beautiful sunny day here in Georgia and suppose to get up close to 70 degrees today according to the weather man.
I spent most of the day yesterday resting and don't really feel any less tired today. Guess I am in one of those tired periods that I seem to have every so often. I hope to feel up to going to choir practice this evening but if don't feel better by evening I will probably pass.
I did hear from my friend who is in Las Vegas. He had just gotten Internet access at the conference and we chatted a little bit using MSN Instant Messenger and our webcams. He will be speaking this afternoon around 5:30 pm my time and I will be able to watch as he will be webcasting it.
Hope everyone has a good day.
Good Morning Pat great devotional this morning.
So sad about the miners. Praying for the families here.
Nothing new to tell you about today, So I won't tell you about nothing. :peepwall:
Going to Tai Chi class shortly.

This is my little Lionel, he weights almost 3 and 1x2 pounds so he is very sick, they said if I hadn't noticed RIGHT then We would have lost him. My little Lionel somehow got something poisonoius and it almost killed him, he had been on iv for 2 days, we are having his liver tested to see what happened, he is so small. Please feel free to pray for him.Alma
Thank you all who saw this yesterday and have been praying for us.
Good morning to everyone, I am waiting from a call from the vets, I just called, so I will keep you posted.
ALma
Hello everyone...
I have been so saddened by the terrible news from West Virginia. I awoke this morning to hear breaking news that 12 had been found alive and see the joy on the families' faces. Less than an hour later I arrived at work to find out the horrific and tragic truth. The families are in my prayers.
Alma, I've been thinking of you so much today, and praying for little Lionel and for you. Hope he's better soon... please keep us posted, my friend.
Take care all of you....
Anna x
Alma, he is so precious. What a little darling. I can imagine he'll be even more precious when you get him back home. :)
I slept on the couch last night, and fell asleep with the tv on. During the night, I heard the announcement about the terrible news that 12 miners were dead instead of having survived. I was immediately awake and shocked. This is just very sad. My heart breaks for the families. We pray for them. In spirit we come along side them, and hold them in prayer. :(

Hello again: Alma thank you for the update on Loinel. I am still praying for the little guy. It hurts so much to see our pets sick and hurting.
Still nothing to talk about here. No rain today nice sunny day here all day long.
TTYL
Alma, the bible tells us that God sees every sparrow that falls. He sees little Lionel now and hears your prayers.
The doctor says to keep taking the medications as prescribed and see the other doctor at my scheduled appointment. He says to avoid stress carefully. I've passed that message on to one of the bosses who is such a pusher and keeps the pressure on all the time.
Ruth Ann
Thanks for that link, Chris.
I've been so tired today after not much sleep last night.
Alma, what a sweet photo of your poor doggie. Please keep us posted.
I was going to post to you all but the phone rang and it was a very old friend of mine from school days and we had such a long chat about both of our husbands both passing away and how different life is now for the both of us.
I'll be back. I feel I now need a cup of tea.
Ruth Ann, how's the foot. Praying for you sister. Constantly.

The Comforter Has Come (http://www.christianphotographers.com/sounds/the-comforter-has-come.mid)
(Click to hear music)
"I will ask the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter." John 14:16
Words: Frank Bottome, 1890, in Precious Times of Refreshing and Revival.
Music: William J. Kirkpatrick (1838-1921)
O spread the tidings 'round, wherever man is found,
Wherever human hearts and human woes abound;
Let ev'ry Christian tongue proclaim the joyful sound:
The Comforter has come!
Refrain
The Comforter has come, the Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost from heav'n, the Father's promise giv'n;
O spread the tidings 'round, wherever man is found—
The Comforter has come!
The long, long night is past, the morning breaks at last,
And hushed the dreadful wail and fury of the blast,
As o'er the golden hills the day advances fast!
The Comforter has come!
Refrain
Lo, the great King of kings, with healing in His wings,
To ev'ry captive soul a full deliverance brings;
And through the vacant cells the song of triumph rings;
The Comforter has come!
Refrain
O boundless love divine! How shall this tongue of mine
To wond'ring mortals tell the matchless grace divine—
That I, a child of hell, should in His image shine!
The Comforter has come!
Refrain
