ah cheers sue!
im over the moon that you like it!
your boys are lovely,im usually rather nervous around children but i never found them at all intimedating!theyre both lovely!

il be praying for him,and for the rest of you...........

prayer request for me........i am on the worship band at my church now,and its my first sunday singing this week,am really nervous,im quite the clumsy type and im woried if i dance and hedbang liek i usualy doil trip over the mic lead and go flying with all the sound equipment or sumthing!

 

Arlia I will gladly pray for you....I think the key thing is to be yourself...God wants what you have to offer...and if that is enthusiastic head banging ....you go for it girl...should you fall over...people will probably think its part of the performance


Hmm who are those cute kids with that funny looking old woman?

 

YAYA! Go ARLIA!
thats sooo cool! will be praying for ya too! excellent stuff! Go for it! Devote the time to God and you wont fail!

i try never for my worship to be aperformance but a honest and genuin expression of love for god!
bein put up on a stage is kinda scary becaus i know that sometimes ppl can get offended by the way i praise god in church.

i will always be myslef i guess im jsut nervous about tripping up and messing up everything

 

I feel so awful asking people to pray for me when there are so many people so much worse off then me. But hopefully God will not think I am selfish.

I am struggling with a lot right now. My mom and dad are getting a divorce, one of my good friends has a terrible herion addiction, and I have no self control when I get angry and it's ruining my life. I feel trapped in my job, and my relationship is hanging on a thread that gets thinner every day. I need a soft place to fall and someone to help wipe the tears away.

Forgive me for being so petty. I know these problems are quite insignificant.

 

dont be silly,your problems are not insignificant,every tear our god collects,every pain you feel god feels it as though it were his own.

god is the soft place in which you can fall,but dont stay down,lift yourself up,adn overcome all of these worries and fears.god will not think you are selfish but admires your honesty,yes there are alot of bad things happening in the world right now,but that doesnt mean that god god hasnt got time to look after one of his princesses

 

I think we are at cross purposes here ...I guess I think that any kind of getting up and singing on stage is a performance....but I didn't mean to make your worship sound false in any way, I think that anyone who has read your posts could be in no doubt of your total sincerity Arlia....and when I said be yourself, I guess I was thinking about the kind of person you have described who might be offended by the way you praise god in church.

I think you have a lot to offer, and your church is very lucky to have you

 

i hope you didnt misinterpret what i said in any way!
i knew waht you meant,i jsut wanted everybody to know there is a differnce between perfoming and worship!
performing is all about yourslef,worship is all about god.

thank u for what you just said you are so encouraging!
*sends youa big ol hug*

 

No you are not being petty....there are ( probably!) always going to be folk worse off than you, that doesn't make your problems any less real, or mean that you are not worthy of prayer. You are a child of God and he knows what is in your heart and is your soft place to fall.

I'd be glad to pray for you....thank you everyone who prayed for Hamish today.......it went a whole lot better than I expected ....

 

im glad to here it!
hesa a wonderful kid!

 

Arlia, I'm praying for your worship and your nerves on stage. My husband and sons are worship leaders, so I well understand your position and concern. One of my sons is very expressive and passionate in his worship. He's a big guy with long hair and some of the older folks in the congregation have been put off by him and complained that "head banging" etc. were not honoring to God. Most people, however, are blessed by his very real and evident passion for the Lord. It is often a fine line that a worship team walks, and the only way for it is to walk in the spirit, keep your worship pure before God, and keep your connection with Him strong. Don't worry about tripping....just worship God and let him take care of that! :O)

headymoechick I'm praying for you.

I could use some prayers right now too. I've got a bad sore throat, head ache, etc. my car is broken down and may not be repairable, my dog was attacked by the neighbor's boxer and has a pretty bad wound on her neck which is worrying me. To top it all off my husband may be out of a job come summer. It isn't looking good and it is hard to keep my faith in the midst sometimes.

Anyway, I appreciate your prayers!

 

ah wow!
your son sounds really cool!
tell him he is awesome!
and i knwo how he feels bout some ppl kinda frowning upon idividuality,but its ok,coz god knows that its out of pure love and excitment for what he has done for me......i am really excited,but still kinda nervous,iv never sung to this amount of ppl before!!!

my brother is also looking for a job at the moment and it appears to be very hard,keep having faith,god will bring you the right job at the right time!it took me 2 years to get my 1st job,patience is something i learnt very well through that.
i pray that you will get better soon!

yeah its been missing this fro a long time hasnt it!

 

Could somebody please pray for my friend Phil, who died today in intensive care after a car crash. He was going to be celebrating his 18th Birthday next week. I can't believe he is gone but I know I will see him again some day. Rest in peace angel.

 

i am not a Christain...but does that mean then i cannot pray? or others cannot pray for me?

 

You can pray, and I have just said a little prayer for you.
Anyone can pray.
If you pray with the firm view that it makes a difference, I really strongly feel that it will.
I like two prayers more than any others.
"Thank you."
"Thy will be done."
They just seem to me to be the best ones.

 

prayer is for anybody!
wen we a re in jneed or want to give thanks or are concerned fro another person but have no power to do anything ourselves!

 

This is a really nice thread....I don't normally come into the Christianity forum because it often seems like one big arguement:H ....but I think I might just decide to stay here
