you’ve been prayed for

if you’re reading this, you’ve been prayed for.

granted, i don’t know everyone who reads this blog by name. those of you i do, i’ve prayed for you. those of you i don’t, i’ve prayed for you, too.

every once in a while i have a really hard time sleeping so for the last hour or so, i really felt like i should lift you up in prayer.

some of you i know are going through really tough times – health stuff, church staff stuff, upcoming mission trips, already on mission trips, family problems, depression problems, money problems, loneliness, work stress, transitions in life, your kids, your friends…those are just a few specific things that have been lifted up.

insomnia’s not always a bad thing i guess. i hope you all have a splendid tuesday.

    Anne:
    And yet you continue to be such a tremendous joy and blessing to me as I read anything you say….the way I see it…you put it out there and it doesn’t matter if we are 20 or upwards of 60 years of age, when it comes to writing, you are the best! Your vision blooms off the page and is so absorbed by me being a PW (Pastor’s Wife) and the endless layers of truth, I love!! Thanks for all you say that has truly encouraged my life!

    Apparently, it’s going around. I’m not a frequent insomniac, but this morning I’ve been up since forever as well. And I’ve spent time praying for some friends in need. Thank you for including your readers in your prayers today.

    Thank you – that’s very gracious, and needed in ways you’ll probably never know. And back to you, praying your work today will fly by on peaceful properly caffeinated wings :). Hope your day goes smoothly.

    Thank You Anne,

    I just got word from my family that my family member was contemplating suicide. I felt real guilty, I didn’t get up and fly to this family member… so I prayed

    I am speaking tonight to a large crowd for the very first time about First Impressions, consumerism, and changing lives for our guests at church tonight. I feel overprepared and under prepared at the same time.. so I prayed.

    But first, Like every Tuesday morning I prayed for my pastor and his staff that they can bring forth exactly what we need. This week it was JOY.. You can see some of what he spoke about on my blog. so I prayed…

    Thank you Anne for listening to God on my behalf. I love to come to your blog for a quick and long draw of water for my mental refreshment. It’s so needed.

    Awesome.

    Anne,
    I receive your prayer as a wonderful and timely blessing!

    Thanks for praying for me today Anne. It’s needed.

    Thanks also for being a willing vessel for Jesus to use. When He taps you on the shoulder in the middle of the night, He knows that you are willing to intercede for others in prayer.

    I have prayed for you today.

    Know that you are loved,

    Money problems, stress at work, transitions in life…

    Thank you for these prayers!!!

    Some insomnia I believe to be inspired by God, such as this.

    Thank you for using your restless time to pray for restless souls. I’m joining you in these prayers.

    Couldn’t have been better timing!
    Thank you, friend! Being in prayer ministry means praying for others a lot, and I LOVE it. It is rare though that someone says they have been praying for me. It feels really good! I am praying that you sleep deeply tonight.

    I think we should look into the Insomniac Believer! I know the Lord searches to and fro for hearts that truly belong to Him. What an honor that He knew you would be a willing sacrifice (of sleep) to lift others in prayer. Thank you for an obedient spirit and Praise God for picking them good! Your prayers, as others have said already, are very timely. So many of the things you lifted in prayer I relate too…I know why now why my feet hit the ground with a fresh new purpose and vigor this morning – so I am thankful and humbled…

    Ann – thanks so much for your prayers. I am holding you and this book up in prayer, because it is a great project.

    I think you mentioned me a couple of times in your list of “things”.

    When I can’t sleep I usually either surf the web or listen to a podcast on my headphones…I should probably go run but don’t want to get in bed all sweaty.

    Thanks for the prayers!
