I have a challenge.

[mrs617]

My very dear friend, Dawn (who some of you know) is going through some extremely tough physical problems...and I mean tough! This woman is an amazing example of Christlike spirit and grace, but even great Christians get discouraged and frustrated.

Here's my challenge. I want to pray Dawn around the clock. I want to know that each hour, someone's taking her to the throne of grace. Can we get 24 people? How 'bout we start with a commitment of a month. Are you willing to do this with me? Do you have mutual friends? Let them know!

Since we've got people from all different time zones here on LJ, I'm going to ask that you choose your 'Dawn hour' in Eastern Time Zone since that's where she is. Let's surround our sister in prayer!

I thought about avoiding your post because I can't set myself up for failure. But I want to let you know that I do pray for Dawn, and I will continue to pray for her as God lays it on my heart. I think your heart is in the right place, and I didn't want you to be discouraged.

That's ok, I know what you mean...and I know you're praying for her. :) That's what counts anyway.

I have a friend who has been a Christian less than a year who made a community recently called daily_prayer. I think I'll make a prayer post for her in there. :)

[mrs617.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

Do you mean each hour for an hour, or at least once an hour. I think it's a marvelous idea, but while I can and happily will do the latter, I know that my schedule won't allow me to take an hour out of it every day. I would love to, but I know I can't make that commitment without breaking it very quickly.

However, if it's the latter, I would really love to be part of it. 1amETZ would fit me well.

[mrs617.livejournal.com]

I meant the latter, thanks!!

I'm with kiwiria, I can't pray for an hour solid, but between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., she's on my watch and my heart will lift her up to God then.

Are you aiming more for prayer at least once an hour round the clock? Or are you thinking more like perpetual adoration?

[mrs617.livejournal.com]

I was aiming for prayer at least once an hour around the clock.

[singersdd.livejournal.com]

That'll work! Dibs on 7 to 8 p.m. Eastern time (I know I'll be conscious and home then).

you are TEH sweet.

she'll be on my watch as i make dinner - 4 to 5 pm est.

[kebhouse.livejournal.com]

I can take a morning time... 7, 8, or 9 am EST is good for me- just let me know what fits best.

[singersdd.livejournal.com]

skipperja and zonneschjin are in, too.

If they aren't on your flist, add 'em! (especially zonnesjchin - she's the one I told you about in our e-mail exchange Saturday, I think)

[singersdd.livejournal.com]

Eh, hem.

I mean, zonneschijn. Sheesh. Make it hard to spell!

[zonneschijn.livejournal.com]

It's not hard to spell if you speak Dutch. ;)

[singersdd.livejournal.com]

Probably not, but I ain't Dutch!

I'm an Irish-Scot-English-German-Swiss-American Mutt. :)

[zonneschijn.livejournal.com]

I ain't Dutch either, I'm Scottish-Irish-American! 0:)

But I speak Dutch. ;)

[singersdd.livejournal.com]

Ch!

Yeah, well, it's still hard to spell 'cause I don't speak Dutch!

:-PPP

[zonneschijn.livejournal.com]

Well, before too much longer you should be able to at least spell one Dutch word. :D

[singersdd.livejournal.com]

Ha. Ha.
Only if I have to keep typing your username over and over!

[mrs617.livejournal.com]

oooh! I can do better than that!

I'm an Irish-Norweigon-French-English-American Indian-German-American!

I just saw this

No one's ever done anything like this for me before

I don't know what to say

I'm crying so hard right now

Sol's crying too

thank you isn't enough

Oh God I wish I could reach out and hug and kiss everyone of you. I wish I could meet you all. Do you have any idea how much this has helped me? So many times I feel so alone but not anymore...not after this!

I love you Jesus. I love you Holly. I love you all.

Father, thank you for this beautiful blessing of true Christian love and prayer. You do indeed make beauty from ashes. Thank you Lord for Your perfect beauty. Thank you Lord for Your perfect love. Bless all these children Lord with Your love. I will continualy shout Your name and praise You as my Lord and Saviour. I pray the name of Jesus be the first words on our lips in the morning and the last thought in our hearts at night. I love you Jesus. Praise Your Holy name. Bring us together Lord in a way that is pleasing to You. We want to glorify You in all things. Thank you Lord for Your good and perfect gifts. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be His name.

I love you♥
