Lord,
We come lifting up our Class of 1975 Classmates and their Family members. Lord we ask that you touch them and heal them. Lord, you said that by your stripes we are healed. Lord, we ask for healing in all of their bodies. Lord, you said that your word is medicine and life. Lord, we know that nothing is too hard or impossible for you. Lord, we ask that they all will find comfort in your presence and in your promise to never leave them. Lord, we ask that you give strength and patience to each of them and their families as they wait for their bodies and their loved ones bodies to heal and mend. Lord, we ask for a total restoration of health for everyone included in this prayer and for those who are ill that we do not yet know of. Lord, let us be mindful to always give you the victory, the glory, and the honor in this and in all things. This prayer we ask in your Precious Name. AMEN
FROM: ALL ABOUT LIFE CHALLENGES: "PRAYER FOR STRESS RELIEF"
Prayer For Stress Relief - Does Prayer Work to Reduce Stress?
Let us face the facts: we all have stress. It is the way we deal with stress that differs. The good news is that prayer for stress relief works! Prayer is that unique form of communication with God available to the believer that, when used often and in accordance with God's will, brings us into alignment with God's viewpoint. Being in good alignment means that our whole being is put into its proper perspective and that means life is less stressful and we are better able to deal with the stress we do have.
A proper perspective of our reality is often the biggest stress reliever there is. There is a saying, "Don't sweat the small stuff, it is all small stuff." The proper perspective helps us to understand that our stress is not unique or strange and it cannot defeat us without our help. In other words, when it comes to stress, we give it the power that it has over us. Living a prayer-centered life changes that equation. It is also an amazing thing of irony, but praying for others or intermediary prayer helps to put our own needs into perspective. Because when we focus upon the needs of others, our own needs become less of a focus. "Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37:4).
The adage that "Prayer changes things," is only partly right, especially in stress relief. Prayer changes the one doing the praying. God is sovereign and when we pray, we are told to pray with in the will of God as Jesus taught His disciples in Matthew 6:9-13. This model of prayer is a good basis to start from and it can lead us into a deeper life of prayer. This deeper communion with Christ has a result of bringing a clearer understanding of our dependence upon God and His grace, which changes us and can consequently result in changing "things."
James makes this statement: "You ought to say, 'If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that.'" (James 4:15). Therefore, when we are praying, we need to do so not with a personal laundry list but with the attitude of submission to God and His will. That is not to say that we should not use prayer for stress relief. "You do not have, because you do not ask God" (James 4:2). There is nothing in our lives that God does not know about so when we pray we are not informing Him. Rather, we are bringing our will into alignment with His Will.
But how does prayer relieve stress? When we communicate with God, we do so on a one-to-one basis with no intermediary. This is the only time when we can be honest with ourselves and with God. You'll find no artifice in the prayer closet. One can't simply mumble "I'm fine" when one is alone with God. The realizations that God knows our frame, has a clear understanding of who and what we are, and that He loves us anyway gives us a humility that strips us of false pride and opens our heart to allow the LORD to change us. Situations that cause stress in our life may not change instantly, but our attitude of peace in the face of the stress will make our life seem different. The result of prayer as a stress relief is the recognition of our dependence upon the "Prince of Peace" to bring us through anything!
A prayer for stress relief might include some of the following statements to God: "Father, I know that You know my life and You know the problems and stress that I face. Help me to keep my eyes not on the problems or the stressful situations, but upon You and Your mercy and grace. Father, I cannot change the situations that cause stress in my life but I know that You can. LORD, keep my heart humble and willing to submit to the 'all things' that you have allowed into my life. Father, give me Your strength to stand because although I do not understand how this will change me, I know that You are working in and through me to conform my life to glorify You. Lead me into Your truth by helping me to surrender to Your Word. In the name of Jesus, Amen."
We have all sinned and deserve God's judgment. God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible. If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.
Someone sent this prayer to me, so I wanted to share it with all of you!!

Please bear with me, I'll try my best to post an individual personal note to all of you when I get the chance.

THANK YOU (Joyce Johnson, Tawnette Fulton-Gilbert, Jerlilia L. Ryan, LaNeal White-Hicklin and Clara Arlene Weston) for your condolences and words of sympathy. I and my family really appreciate your kindness'.
Note from Clara Arlene Weston:
At 11:25 on November 3, 2010, Clara Arlene Weston said...
Q: As Apache Alumni intercessors will we receive prayer assignments. My prayer focus is for the Class of 2011 - that "the eyes of their understanding be enlighten, that they may know what is the hope of their calling and they inherit the riches ordained for their lives. I pray that their minds be completely focused during their time of study, the key of knowledge is opend with understanding and they continually present their minds and bodies not to be conformed to the world, but to the service of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
To Clara,
Thanks as well for the Message regarding the Centennial High School students that you left on my page. In answer to your Question: No, There are no specific Prayer Assignments given out to anyone on this Alumni website. Anyone who wants to pray for an Alumni Member, Family Member, or etc. can feel free to do so. I really loved the way that you took the opportunity to pray and give advice to our future 2011 Graduates coming out of Centennial High School. Because Prayer definitely changes things (especially collective prayer), and the students can really use that much needed encouragement.
Thank You all again, for thinking of me and my family in our time of grief. I and my family really appreciate it.
God bless!!
Love and Blessings, Phoebe Macon c/o '75
We are One Family in Christ in Heaven and on Earth
Eph. 3:14-15- we are all one family in heaven and on earth, united together, as children of the Father, through Jesus Christ. Our brothers and sisters who have gone to heaven before us are not a different family. We are one and the same family. This is why, in the Apostles Creed, we profess a belief in the "communion of saints." There cannot be a "communion" if there is no union. Loving beings, whether on earth or in heaven, are concerned for other beings, and this concern is reflected spiritually through prayers for one another.
OurFather in heaven, God we thank You for the precious gift of life. This is the day that You have made and we're grateful to still be here, so we will rejoice and be glad in it. Lord, it matters not what our situations look like right now, it matters not how good or bad we've been; You are the God Who changes not. You're still good, You're still kind, You're still merciful, You're still faithful and all that You are, You're still alive and reigning in our lives. We thank You Lord for Your ever presence and for always making Yourself available to us. Help us Lord to draw closer to You and realize the closer we get to You, the more we are assured everything is alright, in fact, we can call it "good" in advance. We thank You for this day and we praise You for the victory, in Jesus Name, Amen.
God, for this day we say thank You. For the rain we say thank You. For traveling grace we say thank You. For protection throughout this day we say thank You. We thank You Lord for we know this is the day that You have made and all that's left for us to do is, rejoice and be glad in it. Lord, we're praying one for another, especially the McCoy, Hunter and Williams Families, and we ask that You will strengthen each person, help us not to complain about anything. Give us the strength not to fuss, no matter how much we're disappointed and the courage to smile where others may be wearing a frown. Lord, we recognize You are the source of our strength and the strength of our lives; So if by chance we forget today where our help comes from, remind us to take a look around and see the beauty of Your creation, and as we look around and see Your handy work, help us to say hallelujah anyhow! We can say hallelujah because just as You spoke in the beginning, You're still speaking now ---speak Lord in our lives and give us the courage to speak back to You with praise and adoration. Hallelujah, Christ the Savior is alive! We purpose in our hearts to worship You with the lives we live, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Thank You For Today's Prayer Bishop Willie Williams!!
Love and Blessings, Phoebe Macon c/o '75
May today there be Peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love That has been given you. May you be content knowing that you are a child of God! Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul The freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us!!
Our Father in heaven, God we thank You for another beautiful day that You've made, and we
praise You because it's full of Your unconditional mercy and grace.
Lord, we thank You for looking beyond our faults, our disobedience, our
attitudes, our stubbornness, our selfishness and loving us, always.
God, Your love is everlasting and it's so powerful that it reaches us at
our lowest point, it strengthens us when life's circumstances and
situations have caused us to grow weary and it comforts us when we feel
like all hope is gone. You are an awesome God
and our prayer is that You will help us to remember Who's hands we're
in, and give us the courage to trust You more and more each day. Lord,
we thank You for supplying our needs this day. We thank You for
protecting us as we travel the dangerous highways. We thank You for
keeping our family and friends safe. We thank You for the door that You
opened and we thank You for closing the door
that we were determined to walk through on our own. We thank You in
advance for a wonderful day and we shout hallelujah for the victory, in
Jesus Name, Amen.
Thank You So Much BISHOP WILLIE WILLIAMS for your prayers. The strength of your heartfelt prayers are felt and received. Thank You for taking the time to post them. God is good and so are good friends. We Your Centennial High Alumni Family appreciate you and we hope that you will continue praying for us. May God abunduntly bless you & your family always!!
Thank you for all of your wonderful works for the Apache Alumni Association. Blessings to you and your family, not only this holiday season, but throughout the years to come. If I can be of assistance in any way, please don't hesitate to let me know.
As we begin another week of hurrying and scurrying about our busy lives, we pause to express our sincere praise of your majesty. We are amazed that the Creator of the Universe is mindful of each one of us and thankful that you are attentive to our needs.
We confess to you that we are intensely aware of our frailties and failings as humans. We also acknowledge that we are utterly dependent upon you for all that we have and all that we are able to do in this day….in every day. We ask you to help us deny ourselves, take up our crosses and simply follow Jesus so that we might live in such a way as to bring you honor and glory.
We humbly ask you to guide our steps throughout this week. Help us search for and find ways to serve as instruments of your peace in this tumultuous, sin-savaged world. Help us to be a blessing to others. Please help us choose actions that are just and merciful; and, fill us with your Holy Spirit that we might be empowered to walk humbly with you each step of the way.
Please bless those whose names flow from our hearts to your throne.
Provide for each of these according to their needs.
Accept our thanksgiving for your sustaining grace in our lives. Thank you for being the Giver of every good and perfect gift we have received. Help us to bring you pleasure by enjoying these gifts. Help us, also, to honor you by being good stewards of all you have placed in our care.
Above all, thank you for the indescribable gift of your Son to be our Lord and Savior. Please give us the faith, courage, grace and wisdom we need to follow in Him each and every day.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus we pray.
Good
morning Lord! It's another good day that You have made, filled with
Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace and we thank You for blessing
us to still be here. God, we're in the last week of 2010 and there are a
number of things we said we wouldn't do, that we did; And, there are a
number of things we said we would do, that we didn't do; And, already
we're saying what we're going to do and not do in 2011, but right now we
ask that You will help us to stop planning long enough to ask You what
You want. Help us to remember how our plans messed things up, but when
we followed Your plan, we enjoyed Your peace and provision. Father,
open our eyes that we may see where we're in control and give us the
courage to let go and let you have Your way in our lives. Lord, help us
to admit our way brings confusion, turmoil, pain and strife, but Your
way brings happiness, peace, joy and contentment--Give us the strength
to place both hands on Your way and move forward. Father we lift unto
you the Families of Bishop Ralph Salary and Dr. Lonnie Dawson, and we
ask this in Jesus Name, Amen.

Gracious Savior, let me make,
Neither error or mistake---
Let me in Thy love abide,
Ever near Thy riven side.
Let me, counting all things dross,
Find my glory in the Cross,
Let me daily with Thee talk,
In Thy footsteps daily walk.
I would gladly follow Thee,
For Thou gently leadest me,
Where the pastures green doth grow,
Where the waters stillest flow.
For me is Thy table spread,
And Thou doth anoint my head,
And my cup of joy o'erflows
In the presence of my foes.
(Josephine Henderson Herd, 1890)

Q: As Apache Alumni intercessors will we receive prayer assignments. My prayer focus is for the Class of 2011 - that "the eyes of their understanding be enlighten, that they may know what is the hope of their calling and they inherit the riches ordained for their lives. I pray that their minds be completely focused during their time of study, the key of knowledge is opend with understanding and they continually present their minds and bodies not to be conformed to the world, but to the service of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
To Clara,
Thanks as well for the Message regarding the Centennial High School students that you left on my page. In answer to your Question: No, There are no specific Prayer Assignments given out to anyone on this Alumni website. Anyone who wants to pray for an Alumni Member, Family Member, or etc. can feel free to do so. I really loved the way that you took the opportunity to pray and give advice to our future 2011 Graduates coming out of Centennial High School. Because Prayer definitely changes things (especially collective prayer), and the students can really use that much needed encouragement.
Thank You all again, for thinking of me and my family in our time of grief. I and my family really appreciate it.

May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love
That has been given you.
May you be content knowing that you are a child of God!
Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul
The freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us!!

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Lord, we thank You for looking beyond our faults, our disobedience, our
attitudes, our stubbornness, our selfishness and loving us, always.
God, Your love is everlasting and it's so powerful that it reaches us at
our lowest point, it strengthens us when life's circumstances and
situations have caused us to grow weary and it comforts us when we feel
like all hope is gone. You are an awesome God
and our prayer is that You will help us to remember Who's hands we're
in, and give us the courage to trust You more and more each day. Lord,
we thank You for supplying our needs this day. We thank You for
protecting us as we travel the dangerous highways. We thank You for
keeping our family and friends safe. We thank You for the door that You
opened and we thank You for closing the door
that we were determined to walk through on our own. We thank You in
advance for a wonderful day and we shout hallelujah for the victory, in
Jesus Name, Amen.
Blessings,

A Monday Prayer

Dear Father in heaven,
As we begin another week of hurrying and scurrying about our busy lives, we pause to express our sincere praise of your majesty. We are amazed that the Creator of the Universe is mindful of each one of us and thankful that you are attentive to our needs.
We confess to you that we are intensely aware of our frailties and failings as humans. We also acknowledge that we are utterly dependent upon you for all that we have and all that we are able to do in this day….in every day. We ask you to help us deny ourselves, take up our crosses and simply follow Jesus so that we might live in such a way as to bring you honor and glory.
We humbly ask you to guide our steps throughout this week. Help us search for and find ways to serve as instruments of your peace in this tumultuous, sin-savaged world. Help us to be a blessing to others. Please help us choose actions that are just and merciful; and, fill us with your Holy Spirit that we might be empowered to walk humbly with you each step of the way.
Please bless those whose names flow from our hearts to your throne.
Provide for each of these according to their needs.
Accept our thanksgiving for your sustaining grace in our lives. Thank you for being the Giver of every good and perfect gift we have received. Help us to bring you pleasure by enjoying these gifts. Help us, also, to honor you by being good stewards of all you have placed in our care.
Above all, thank you for the indescribable gift of your Son to be our Lord and Savior. Please give us the faith, courage, grace and wisdom we need to follow in Him each and every day.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus we pray.
Amen

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace and we thank You for blessing
us to still be here. God, we're in the last week of 2010 and there are a
number of things we said we wouldn't do, that we did; And, there are a
number of things we said we would do, that we didn't do; And, already
we're saying what we're going to do and not do in 2011, but right now we
ask that You will help us to stop planning long enough to ask You what
You want. Help us to remember how our plans messed things up, but when
we followed Your plan, we enjoyed Your peace and provision. Father,
open our eyes that we may see where we're in control and give us the
courage to let go and let you have Your way in our lives. Lord, help us
to admit our way brings confusion, turmoil, pain and strife, but Your
way brings happiness, peace, joy and contentment--Give us the strength
to place both hands on Your way and move forward. Father we lift unto
you the Families of Bishop Ralph Salary and Dr. Lonnie Dawson, and we
ask this in Jesus Name, Amen.
Blessings,
Bishop Willie Williams
