The POWER of PRAYER

I have been learning different ways to pray. I just the love the fact that I can come to my Father so intimately. Depending on my mood & request I come to Him in different ways.

Praying the names of God:
El Elyon: The God most High
El Roi: The God who sees
El Shaddai: The All Sufficient One
Yahweh (Adonai): The LORD
Jehovah-Jireh: The LORD will provide
Jehovah-Rapha: The LORD who heals
Jehovah Mekoddishkem: the LORD who sanctifies you
Jehovah-shalom: The LORD is peace
Jehovah Shammah: The LORD is There
......Of course there are so many names & you can google different ways to pray (I only have 30 of them & their meanings)........

Praying Scripture

(thank you Becky McDonald who gave me the guides to prayer on our women's' retreat October 2007. Also, The Power of a Praying Parent & Power of a Praying Wife (by Stormie Omartian) are great books & I just finished Becoming a Women of Prayer by Cynthia Heald)

So, I wrote this post because I have been agonizing for a while over the chicken farm in Cambodia. This is a village in Cambodia that is basically one big brothel. I'd seen a special on Dateline & heard Oprah talk about it over a year ago or so. It's called the chicken farm b/c you can pluck a child like you could pluck a chicken there. No consequences. There are girls you can buy time with as young as 5 years old. This is a big attraction for pedophiles from all over the world to come visit.

On Saturday, July 11 Women At Risk is holding a day of prayer specifically for the Chicken farm. For those of you who would like to go, call W.A.R's office & reserve a spot. If you can not make it, please join in prayer from where ever you are.

These are little clips of the children who are caught in this tragedy.

Unfortunately when I was looking for pics & videos to show I stumbled across a horrific site. This was disgusting & vulgar. It was a how to guide for picking up kids in Cambodia. He told the best & worst places to go & even rated the girls on looks & performance. It was all I could do to not throw my computer out the window. I was so sick to my stomach that I have this ache in my heart even more than ever for these precious victims! I feel like I can't get low enough on my face before God as I cry out for help for these victims all over the world! How can we allow this to happen to our children??? This is a plea to pray! I am begging you to get on your knees & pray for traffic victims all over the world-even here in America! There are so many children being forced into sex slavery every day here! I believe in the Power of Prayer! We need to be an army of prayer warriors!
