Prayer Circle - Thursay - Sunday 11-18 / 11-21

hello!
I thought that we could run the circle for a few days at a time now...sine we are seeing only a little change on the daily basis. Hope thats ok with everyone.

Please add your requests to this thread through Sunday.
We are still running 10 am and 3 pm EST circles.

under Reagan.

Isn't it? :-(

so it was listed. One of the earlier posts regarding the circle dealt with the fact that we will often see requests that are contrary to our own beliefs or practices. I think the best way to deal with those is to modify the request to something that works for you, or skip those requests entirely. Hope this is making sense :)

In fact, I think we SHOULD be praying for this. I've often reminded myself that our country got through those years, we'll get through this.

My comments were made more as a realization of "Oh boy, things have gotten really bad when we're praying for that."

Sorry if I was being vague.

On edit: In other words, "the bar" I was referring to is the one set so low by B*sh and company.

I didn't really see your post as being critical...I just thought you were concerned that the prayer was focusing on the negative rather than the positive. More a matter of semantics. :)

shine the light back on democracy re: black box voting to be fruitful. For those who undertake these efforts to be protected.

I think we need to go ahead and start praying for God's favor with respect to likely changes to the Supreme Court over the next four years. Pray that God would give favor and open doors to those who would be just and that he would cause the unjust to stumble and fall.

God, may your grace and mercy protect this child and comfort the family.

Amen.

I will be away from my computer at 10. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. :)

I'm focusing on the Center. The Center is moving, and I'm trying to see where. I think this is important.

Hiya A
What do you feel is happening?

I hope everything went okay. I couldn't get on yesterday, but I still prayed for you and all our themes.
:)

They want to do more tests, go over past medical records and then see what they will be able to do... so it will be a couple more weeks before I know whats happening. Thanks for asking. :)

Its appreciated.

I posted a thread on this idea on Tuesday's Prayer Circle, but I probably should have just started a new one.

Politically, it's my feeling that the US is not going to remain a superpower during *'s term. We're going to lose that status very quickly. But that's not much of a prediction; I think most of the world can see that.

Still, something deeper than that is happening, and I don't yet have a grasp of what it is. I simply have a need to focus in that direction, hoping that it will reveal itself in time.

As bleak and horrible as I believe the future will be, I can't help but feel that a new good is arising. I don't know if I'll see it in my lifetime, but I want to be part of the movement that is bringing it about. I am experiencing an inexplicable joy, a lightness of heart and mind that seems to be in contact with something beyond the dire circumstances of this plane. I may be wrong; I'm no prophet. But if there is any hope of bringing about good from the current evil, I will gladly give myself to it.

I cast the I Ching on Monday, expressing my fears. It responded with Hexagram 59: Dispersing.

"There is a possibility of eliminating misunderstandings, illusions and obstacles. The blood flowing from a sacrifice disperses the obstacle between the human and the spirit world. You are involved in a great project. Don't think about anything else now. This is not a mistake. The center is changing. Be part of it."

The center is changing. I think this is important.

Sorry for being so vague. I don't have any answers yet; I'm still looking.

I feel something very similar. I just hadnt connected your post to Tuesdays post. I'm a little foggy today. :)

I'm trying to detach a bit from my own fears about what i'm seeing happening in the world, in order to try and get some sort of sense of a bigger picture (for lack of a batter way to phrase it) - so its a mix for me of horror and light.

Hope everything is going well with you.

:hi:

Also checking in. This seems like a good time for me, if anyone else reading this is on DU at 8 pm, let me know.

I'm pretty regularily on around 8 eastern. Might be a very food time for a third circle time.

10 am

My brother will also be joining us. :)

Keeping you in prayer and hope all will be well soon.

Its greatly appreciated. :)

:)

Hope everyone had a great day :)

hope for the future.

Going to do the 10am today instead of 3pm. :)

I haven't yet organized the 7am and 12pm time here on the West Coast, except for one day; I'm headed out of state this week, but will try to make it part of at least Saturday and Sunday when I get back.

:hi:
