Prayers of the righteous

So - tonight was prayer time with the wonderful people who have become my brothers and sisters in Christ on the Christian Cafe (yet another shameless plug). We had 18 people tonight (I believe that's a record), and it was incredibly amazing. Tuesdays at 9 have become a much-anticipated time as several of us gather to share what's going on in our lives and in the lives of those around us. The most difficult of times are shared without fear (which is awesome in and of itself because some don't know each other at all). This atmosphere of welcomeness and acceptance reminds me of Christ's love and His sacrifice for us. "Come one, come all, and lay Your burdens at My feet." I can hear Him say these words to us on a regular basis. We have to be able to let them go and not hang on to them, and that's tough. We have to trust that He is at this very time working in each and every one, and that He has a plan and an answer for each and every one. (I'm not sharing any deep wisdom here, just rambling...) Anyway, it was another terrific night of sharing and prayer, and I'm so very grateful for the ones who gather there.

To close, I need to share (I know, again!!!) some lyrics. Because it's what I do. :) One of my new favorite groups is Building 429. They have a great new CD out called "Iris to Iris", and the song that is currently getting a lot of play by me is track #10 - "Constant":

I can't live without You
I can't live without You
I can't live

The light has gone and darkness has covered me
The moon is hidden and my eyes don’t see
I still follow, I still follow
Beautiful is love revealed to me
Through the depth of my disparity
Even when I’m shattering I know that … you’ve got me, yeah you’ve got me
When everything else is changing... you are constant
Lifting my eyes to see far beyond this misery

I am consumed with you
I can’t live without you
Breathe without you
I must confess to you
That I can’t live without you
Breathe without Your love

Perfectly ordained and formed with love
My heart has been designed for your touch
So I will follow, I will follow
Stunning is your glory revealing
The hope that lives deep inside of me
And I know that you have captured me… you got me, yeah you’ve got me
When everything else is changing.. you are constant
Lifting my eyes to see far beyond this misery

I am consumed with you
I can’t live without you
Breathe without you
I must confess to you
That I can’t live without you
Breathe without Your love

I can’t live without you…
