Never underestimate the power of prayer -

My dear family in Christ, I have been away from CFF and fellowship for sometime. This is partly due to my Internet server, which restricts me to access.

I have also been dodging the fiery darts of the wicked one. Times are tough all over, and things are changing - many signs of the times seem to point to the birth pains of later days.
I have need of prayer for my family and for my friend, and sister in Christ who is also going through a tough time.

I have a hefty line of prayer requests -

For my son Edward to be given a grant for college, more work hours, and repair for his car.

For my son Jamie who is living with us, he is a candidate for employment with the local Fire Department. If he passes the test he is to take on Monday, then he will have another test to pass, and then the possibility of being 'hand picked' for employment. He needs this desperately. He is traveling two hours daily to a job that he must work a day to pay for his gasoline to work there. My husband has allowed my son to live with us while testing but if he fails then Jamie will have 30 days to find other lodging. He can't afford it on his salary which is barely above min. wage. If that happens, my son will join the Army, which surely means a combat zone... I pray that is not the future our Lord holds for my son. Please pray my son Jamie passes the test on Monday. I am told that 40% fail. I pray he will not fail, that he continue on in the employment process.

For my daughter Amie - our relationship is strained at this point. The Lord knows the situation and why. Please pray for our mother/daughter relationship to mend.

For my father, Gordon, who is 85 years old, he has Emphysema and Prostrate Cancer. He is now on oxygen 24/7.

For myself, I have unspoken prayer -

For my friend Joy in CA. That the Lord help her and her family, they too are going through difficult times financially.

*Thank you all for your prayers and your friendship here on CFF.

When I Call on Jesus – Song from the Heart

“When I call on Jesus” is a phrase from a song that has been recorded by the popular Christian artist Nichole C Mullen.

I’m so very ordinary
Nothing special on my own
I have never walked on water
I have never calmed a storm
Sometimes I’m hiding away form the madness around me
Like a child who’s afraid of the dark.

But when I call on Jesus
All things are possible
I can mount on wings like eagles and soar
When I call on Jesus
Mountains are gonna fall
‘Cause He’ll move heaven and earth to come rescue me when I call

Weary brother
Broken daughter
Widowed, widowed lover
You’re not a lone
If you’re tired and scared of the madness around you
If you can’t find the strength to carry on

Call Him in the mornin’
In the afternoon time
Late in the evenin’
He’ll be there
When your heart is broken
And you feel discouraged
You can just remember that He said
He’ll be there

The lyrics say it all.

Joye, You and your family are in my prayers and we know the prayer of a righteous person avails much.

Great to see you back!

Thank you Brother Frank, and thank you all for your prayers.
As the weekend draws near my prayers continue, I was even praying during the night and early morn... I know the Lord will get me through.
I pray that my son Jamie passes the test on Monday, and will continue on with the selection process -
also for my unspoken prayer needs.
