PRAYER TO REMEMBER
Heavenly Father, Help us remember that the jerk who
cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother
who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to
cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and
spend a few precious moments with her children.
Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed,
disinterested young man who can't make change
correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student,
balancing his apprehension over final exams with his
fear of not getting his student loans for next
semester.
Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging
for money in the same spot every day (who really ought
to get a job!) is a slave to addictions that we can
only imagine in our worst nightmares .
Help us to remember that the old couple walking
annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking
our shopping progress are savoring this moment,
knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back
last week, this will be the last year that they go
shopping together .
Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the
gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is
not enough to share that love with those we hold dear.
Open our hearts not to just those who are close to
us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and
quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.
Sixes Prayer Ministry - Please lift our children, both young and older, that God will protect and direct them everyday while in school and at home. Help every adult in our congregation understand the importance in sharing their time, experience and attention with these young believers.

Daily Prayer: email submission from one of your brothers in Christ,
Dear Lord,
I thank You for this day. I thank You for my being
Able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because
You are a forgiving God and an understanding God.
You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said,
or thought that was not pleasing to you.
I ask now for Your forgiveness.
Please keep me safe from all danger and harm.
Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of
gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind
so that I can hear from You.
Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.
Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over,
and it's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.
I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart.
Continue to use me to do Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.
Keep me strong that I may help the weak...
Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for
others.
I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way.
I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood.
I pray for those who don't know You intimately.
I pray for those that will delete this without sharing it with
others.
I pray for those that don't believe.
But I thank you that I believe.
I believe that God changes people and God changes things.
I pray for all my sisters and brothers and for each and every
Family member in their households.
I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out
of debt and all their needs are met.
I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem,
circumstance, or situation greater than God.
Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye
that sees it.
Prayer for our Troops
"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they
protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they
perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our
Lord and Savior. Amen."
written by Cindy Prater, Assistant Professor, Adult & Career Education,Valdosta State University

From the prayer corner: Please remember to lift Rev. Jim and Brad and their families in your daily prayers. Please pray for God's direction for the "bride of Christ" our loving church at Sixes to know its purpose and for all the members of its body to serve with joy and gladness.
Pease remember our sacrifice of thanksgiving and praise to our Heavenly Father for all He has given us.... it makes Him smile (from 40 Days book!).
