With FOCUSED Prayers & Supplications Swap

Themes: Christian Love, Focused Prayer, Electronic Messaging, Mail A Greeting Card/Snail Mail

The Bible encourages us to pray not only for our own needs but for those who are in need of our prayers as well. In Philippians 4:6 we are instructed to take our requests before Him “by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving” to “let our requests be known to God”.

Some of us have really pressing situations in our lives right now, and could use a friend to vehemently pray for us at this time. This swap has been set up to faciltate these needs in a creative and helpful way. ;)

There are three parts to this swap:

-- You will have TWO PARTNERS. When you have received your partner assignments, you will first contact your partners to ask what they need you to pray about. The Partners can alternatively, ask you to pray for someone in their life, instead of themself. However, I’m asking that each person who participates in this swap will limit the things that they need prayer for to THREE THINGS, with as much detail as possible. The reason for this is that this is a FOCUSED PRAYER Swap.

--After you have jotted down the prayer topics for each of your TWO PARTNERS, you will begin to actively pray for those two partners for a 48 hour period, sending a statement to them via e-mail each time you’ve prayed for them during this time period. You will send the words "Prayed For You" on the subject line of their email each time you have prayed for them.

-- On the deadline date of the swap, please SNAIL MAIL your TWO PARTNERS a greeting card with a few words of encouragement relating to your focused prayers. You can insert a scripture card or other additional information but that is entirely up to you.

All are welcome to join with a well filled out profile. I reserve the right to ban someone at my discretion.

I just want to thank CraftiNana (HP) for her beautiful prayers for me. She has not only been writing "Prayed For You" in the subject line of her e-mails, she sends me sweet notes and talks to me about God. I love her! She is such a gentle soul and a loving spirit and she brings a BRIGHT HOPE to me with every e-mail.

I feel like I could sit down and literally just hang out with danidenco (DC) because she actually tells me that she has me in her thoughts throughout the day, she has -consistently- left me several lines every day. Her prayers for me are so uplifting and when I see her name in my inbox, my face breaks out in a huge smile. She is an angel!

I can feel myself being uplifted, the negative thoughts and self-doubt that were so persistent the last several weeks are vanishing. My one prayer partner send me a verse this morning that nearly knocked me over - it was something so close and personal to me. I

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to CynthiaCelenne777 for the beautiful prayers she has said for me over the past two days! Thank you also for hosting this swap! I feel so much closer to God and to the people I prayed for. I feel really blessed and special to have my concerns held up in prayer. I feel God moving in my heart and my life. I can't thank you enough for your prayers! God is good!!!

Yahoo! I feel the same way. This Focused Prayer has been such a blessing going two ways. It has also reinvigorated my prayer life and reminded me how important it is for us to do this others.

I'm doing about 5-10 minutes of prayer for my people at least 4 times a day.

I feel The Holy Spirit moving in a stronger way since I began this.

Loving it!

I'm thinking this would be a cool swap to do once a month or every other month but I want to give it a cool name that isn't as long as the current swap title. Something short that kind of summarizes the whole meaning and activity of this type of "prayer bombing". Hehe.

Suggestions anyone?

Thank you CynthiaCelenne777 for this wonderful opportunity to lift each other up in prayer! God has taken a front seat in the swap. Instead of dwelling on my problems I have spent more time before God, lifting up others in prayer. Instead of focusing on MY problems I have been able to focus on God and my prayer partners. I look forward to another Prayer swap.

CynthiaCelenne777 04/18/2014 #

Lagemaz - I am finding that EXACT THING in my own life. I've been so busy praying for my partners, that it has taken my mind off of my own issues.

The first day for each of my assigned peeps, I actually wrote out the whole prayer that I planned to pray for them over the next few days. I e-mailed them the written prayer, after that I just started making time every day four or five times a day to pray.

I've been using "natural timed activities": drive to work, after lunch, my afternoon tea break - to pray for them. I use those times just a mental cue to remind me "it's time".

I like what you said to me in your e-mail that you pray while you are crocheting a square. It's made me think about different opportunities and blocks of time that I could utilize for prayer. I never really thought about it before but during dishwashing, folding laundry, the drive to and from work, waiting in a doctor's office, waiting in line at the store, etc.

I loved this swap and my partners. Thank you. I really REALLY feel better. Sorry to see it end.

CraftiNana 04/19/2014 #

This has been the BEST swap ever! I want to keep on doing it, please. Thank you Cynthia for letting Him guide you in this path. I feel everything y'all have stated above. However, I am very compelled to tell what also happened to me during this time. Satan has seemed to be on a very harsh attack, so I prayed more and harder to God. The Holy Spirit was with me every step of the way. There was great guidance, absolute love and compassion for strangers (my prayer partners), and an overwhelming sense of peace that I have not known for quite some time.

I don't know if y'all are interested, but I'd like to do some Bible Study about some specific topics, such as "Sanctification." I'm not an expert by any means, but we could learn together. Just my two cents...

I want to thank everyone who participated in this. Know that God loves you. He is always there; it is us that need to be still sometimes and listen. I will continue to pray for y'all.

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." (Colossians 3:16-17)

CynthiaCelenne777 04/20/2014 #

Wow, CraftNana! Wow! Awesome post. I like the idea of Bible Studies and I will try to post this prayer opportunity again, I have to agree ...this has been a great swap.

PRAYER CHANGES THINGS.

Thank you for hosting this swap. I feel uplifted. I enjoy praying for others; I find it so much easier than praying for myself. I hope to see more of these. :)

It's relevant for me, thank you!

I frequently require help with writing assignments. Especially if a large amount of work has been accumulated. This is common as a result of poor time management and the tendency to put things off until later. And statement of purpose writing service was useful in this case. Especially with the performance of such an incomprehensible task as a statement of purpose.
