Christian Answered Prayer and Praise Thread!!

[CaptainDippy]

Well - here it is - Start praising!! Thank you God for everything which is good in my life - Thank you that you never let me go!!

Cause no one else is in yet i've got my worships songs on my laptop.

I'm currently listening to 'I would offer up my life'

just thought i'd share the lyrics with you

I will offer up my life in spirit and truth
Pouring out the oil of love as my worship to You
In surrender I must give my every part
Lord receive the sacrifice of a broken heart

Chorus:
Jesus, what can I give
What can I bring
To so faithful a friend
To so loving a king
Saviour, what can be said
What can be sung
As a praise of Your name
For the things You have done

Oh my words could not tell
Not even in part
Of the debt of love that is owed
By this thankful heart

You deserve my every breath for You've paid the great cost
Giving up Your life to death, even death on a cross
You took all my shame away, there defeated my sin
Opened up the gates of Heaven, and have beckoned me in

As a SAHM I don't get my choice of music on very often - have got quite good at being able to worship while bouncing along to 'Great Big God' though!

Great Big god is wicked - Rock on PandaG!!

BLESSED BE YOUR NAME
In the land that is plentiful,
Where Your streams of abundance flow,
Blessed be Your name.
And blessed be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place,
Though I walk through the wilderness,
Blessed be Your name.

Every blessing You pour out I'll
Turn back to praise.
When the darkness closes in, Lord,
Still I will say:

Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your glorious name.

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me,
When the world's 'all as it should be',
Blessed be Your name.
And blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering,
Though there's pain in the offering,
Blessed be Your name.

You give and take away,
You give and take away.
My heart will choose to say:
Lord, blessed be Your name.

Beautiful Saviour (all my days) by Stuart Townend. (He's another favourite of mine along with Matt)

This one picks me up, when I fall down!

Faithful One, so unchanging
Ageless One, You're my rock of peac
Lord of all, I depend on You.
I call out to You, again and again,
I call out to You, again and again.

You are my Rock in times of trouble
You lift me up when I fall down.
All through the storm,
Your love is the anchor;
My hope is in You alone.

Whooooo!! Hoooooo!! Yey God - You are great!!

Tank you that I feel a bit brighter cos people have been praying for me - Thank you that prayer works!!!!!!!

Thankyou Father for fantastic services yesterday where your presence was so evident. Thankyou for the people you have put around us in the last six months to lift us when we have been at the bottom of the pit. Thankyou that when one door closes another one always opens.

My Jesus My Saviour. Lord there is none like you!

Thank you that DD2 seems to have settled into nursery no problem and thank you that I continue to feel better this week - Thank you to MN for enabling me to be part of these great threads!!!

SNOW ROCKS!!!!!! Thank you Lord!!!! (Bit cold though [wink!!)

Thank you for the two MN friends I spent hours on MSN with last night.

Praise god that PIL have gone to NZ for three weeks and I've got a bit of breathing space just when I needed it!!!!!

Praise God - Milliboy got into the Grammar school!

Many thanks for your prayers for me yesterday CD, when I was feeling sooooo tired. I did get a new lease of life in the morning, felt much much better, and then promptly fell asleep with ds2 - something that I never do - after lunch! I love the way He answers prayers sometimes!! "You're tired?! Then go to sleep!!"

Which reminds me of favourite thought which I thought I might share, then I am off to work: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, He makes me down to lie, in pastures green. . . " Apparently sheep keep on walking even when they are tired or ill, so when a shepherd wants to make a sheep lie down, they have to tip them onto their backs and tie their feet together. "He makes me lie down" means just that. Sometimes God tips us upside down and plonks us good somewhere to rest!!!

Thanks and praise to Him for all answered prayers and for being there for us when we feel least able to cope.

just to echo Captaindippy - Snow is great!

hiya!! thought i'd share a couple of lines with ya too...

the angels bow down at the thought of you.
the darkness gives way to the light for you.
the price that you paid, gives us life brand new,
hosanna forever we worship you
hosanna forever we worship you

for he is worthy, worthy, for he is good, yes he is good.

Thank you for helping us find a great church with fantastic people, for our dd who is a joy, for making my dh have trust in you again and be more positive towards the future.... thank you dear Lord for your unconditional love.
