How to Pray for the Fallen

Posted by Jennifer Weed on August 23, 2013 at 11:47

I am copying this from my original post over at www.cityonitsknees.com.

This past week, a local youth leader of a ministry called The Basement here in Birmingham, AL was arrested a second time for impersonating a police officer. The fallout from the arrest will most likely be messy. People are very divided in their opinions about the situation. I debated and prayed for several days about whether or not to post anything, and if…

The Pain of Separation

Posted by Jennifer Weed on May 4, 2011 at 23:11
So we made it through our first "holiday" since Rusty died. For me, it had it's sad moments. It wasn't as hard as it could have been simply because I don't have a lot of recent memories of Rusty related to Easter. We just always ended up doing different things that day. However, there were several times, especially watching the kids hunt for eggs, that I got teary-eyed thinking how much he would have enjoyed watching them and how he would have added another whole…

Waves of Grief

Posted by Jennifer Weed on April 18, 2011 at 23:34

Most of us have heard about the stages of grief. I think there's denial, anger, depression...and I can't remember the others. So far I've definitely experienced those three. I remember at my brother's funeral I kept telling people, "This is wrong. We are not supposed to be here. My brother is NOT supposed to be in that casket." The day after the funeral I went back to the grave and just stood there, staring at it, trying to…

I Can't Fix This

Posted by Jennifer Weed on April 11, 2011 at 13:00
It will be 3 weeks ago tomorrow that my youngest brother took his life. I've blogged about the details of that night, but haven't been able to post it yet. I don't know that I ever will. It was just good for me to get it out of my head and down on "paper".

The week after it happened, I met with my worship pastor/friend Kevin Moore to help sort through some of my emotions and thoughts. One of the things he pointed out was that I was struggling with the fact that I couldn't control…

Who Needs a Hero?

Posted by Jennifer Weed on December 31, 2010 at 10:45
Who needs fake superheros? I have a real hero who gave up power andprivilege just to be with me. He came toe to toe with his enemy when hewas physically weakened from hunger and thirst and still came awayvictorious. He embraced pain and rejection, while weighed down by mysin, to face death - for me. He then conquered death when he rose fromthe grave. He loves me passionately. He delights in me and rejoices overme with singing. He quiets me with his love. He has no equal. There isno limit to his…

An Act of Worship

Posted by Jennifer Weed on August 25, 2010 at 12:00
My husband had surgery in July to remove a
benign tumor from his thigh. It was outpatient surgery, and was a
complete success! We saw numerous answers to prayer in the process - from it being a benign tumor, to it not being in any muscle tissue, to it being encapsulated so they could get it all out! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! However, he had a 6" incision with staples in it,
which will take a little while to recover from.

So, naturally,…

A Team Effort

Posted by Jennifer Weed on April 2, 2010 at 12:21
Kevin's comment to my last post touched on a point that I meant to include. This has to be a team effort of all the intercessors who are called to support the pastor in prayer. It cannot and should not be just about the team leader (I actually prefer the term point person) praying for the pastor. Our team is an invaluable asset to me, as well. I know that the requests I present to them on Kevin's behalf are faithfully lifted before the Lord on a regular basis.

Because we are a team…

More on Pastoral Prayer Support Teams

Posted by Jennifer Weed on April 1, 2010 at 23:45
One of the things I shared in my last post was about how the success of the prayer support team depended on a relationship between the pastor and the point person, or leader, of the prayer team. I feel the need to elaborate on that a bit. I'm going to share my personal experience, not because it's necessarily the right or best way, but because it's the way God showed me, and I hope something in it helps or encourages you if you are an intercessor trying to start a prayer support team, or if you…

Pastoral Prayer Support Teams

Posted by Jennifer Weed on March 27, 2010 at 1:30
Kevin Moore suggested I blog about praying for pastors, and this post actually started as a comment in a forum started by Phil Miglioratti (I hope I spelled that right. I did it without looking.), but it was getting so long that I turned it into the blog post that Kevin suggested. I think it is vital for pastors to have a prayer support team - more so than ever before, it seems to me, because of the times we're in and how the intensity of spiritual warfare has escalated.

When we…

Developing a website/blog to connect people to pray over our city

Hi Everyone,  I've been asked to help develop/manage a website/blog that we hope will be a tool to connect people who have a heart to pray for our city. We will inform them of specific prayer needs as they arise; we'll post Scripture and Scripture-based prayers for the leaders of our metro-B'ham area (includes 7 counties, 92 cities); and we'll encourage people to comment with their own prayers. We also hope it will help give the various city-wide prayer ministries a connecting point so that we…

    Make my day, Jennifer! Thanks so much for letting me know how the study is going for you. 

     

    Yes, there will be more. They will take a while to release--the second one (Knowing the God You Pray To--about how we pray according to the way we know God so knowing Him for who He really is is SO important and helpful!) will come out in about a year. I'm currently testing the third one (on prayer and Scripture--how Scripture helps us to pray in a personal, relational way). It will be released much further down the road.

     

    Many blessings on your and your group. I'm so glad to hear about your experiences. Keep me in mind if you'd ever like someone to lead a prayer retreat on the ideas you're experiencing in that study. One of my favorite things to do!

    Thanks for your comments, Jennifer. Yes, it felt GREAT!! And, I wasn't nearly as nervous as I thought I would be. God was definitely helping me through the nerves part! I do hope that if there is someone out there in my same situation that it struck a chord with them. Thanks again!

    Hi Jennifer,

    Love this "facebook for intercessors" as you call it. Thanks for letting me know about it. Awesome!
