I don't pray much but I'm sending healing thoughts and wishes to those affected and those working on the frontlines....medical personnel, grocery workers and other retail staff and those who are considered essential and must go to work every day
Mahalia Jackson - I Come To The Garden Alone
George Beverly Shea -- In the Garden (VintageMusic.es)
In the Garden
Johnny Cash
I come to the garden alone While the dew is still on the roses And the voice I hear, falling on my ear The Son of God discloses And he walks with me And he talks with me
[Chorus]
And he tells me I am His own And the joy we share as we tarry there None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of His voice Is so sweet the birds hush their singing And the melody that He gave to me Within my heart is ringing And he walks with me And he talks with me
[Chorus]
Lord, we come into a quiet place to sit and reflect upon the activities of the day and what has transpired throughout.
We ask on behalf of our people who are in their homes doing well continued wellness and an interest to listen to the voices of medical wisdom.
We ask on behalf of our newly infected the Spirit to move, and mitigate the Covid-19 within each one.
We ask on behalf of those in hospital beds spiritual healing power to sweep through the myriad of facilities trading hope for despair, repair for ruin, strength to power on.
We ask on behalf of those taking care of the 'wounded,' mercy for their circumstances and all the tools to provide and work with they can withstand.
Allow tools and medical devices enough to fulfill their cries and requests to come pouring in as though a window in Heaven is cascading upon them.
We pray on behalf of our dying and transitioned, that we will remember in our haste to think of them fondly, kindly, and decently.
All these matters we ask while we sit in reflection in our garden(s) alone.
Good post.
I am so glad you are here. Welcome.
Thanks! Always happy to pray and to support people praying regarding the pandemic as part of our prayer lives.
Please do after your persuasion. Help us - help others.
CB: You are truly a Gift From God, an uplifting spirit in this, our hour of need. Thank you.
I want to hog all of your time, but, I know that you administers to many.
Again, it is an unprecedented honor to know you, my friend.
BTW: Send money, I still have that Mercedes payment. I ain't doing this for free!
Still? 'Juicin' around in that 'hug' machine of yours?! Well, in here we give hugs to creatures of blood and tissue who are going through trials, tests, and tribulations in the New York, Tri-State regions, and all parts north, south, east and west. ETPDNRI, I adore your presence! It is a joy to read you on this page.
That's a very lovely prayer, CB
All prayer efforts and thoughts of good and reflecting are welcomed.
Very nice CB! Amen!
Time for caring and sharing with our fellows. Welcome.
Reach Out And Touch
Heritage Quartet
Reach out and touch a soul that is hungry
reach out and touch a spirit in despair
reach out and touch a life torn and dirty
a man who is lonely if you dare.
Reach out and touch that neighbor who hates you
reach out and touch that stranger who meets you
reach out and touch the brother who needs you
reach out and touch and let the smile of God touch through you.
Oh reach out and touch a friend who is weary
reach out and touch a seeker unaware
reach out and touch though touching means losing
a part of your own-self if you care.
Reach out and give your love to the loveless
reach out and make a home for the homeless
reach out and shed God's light in the darkness
reach out and let the smile of God touch through you.
Reach Out And Touch
Heritage Quartet
For NT who do not pray; words of reflection can give solace to a hurting and stunned nation. Welcome.
My seeds about prayer in this time that is a terrible crisis for all got mocked mercilessly by the godless who were offended the subject of prayer and the national day of prayer was even brought up to discuss. I will continue to pray for our country, it’s people, our elected leaders at all levels, for forgiveness, for healing and so much more. May God bless America and everyone.
May God bless America and everyone. I am so grateful and agree with you in your prayer requests.
Lord--
Please heal those who are sick. Please comfort those who have lost loved ones. Please strengthen and bless those who are the caregivers, medical workers, and first-responders. Please calm and encourage those who are now home-bound. Please bless the other workers who must serve the public in other ways.
Please make Your presence known in all of us, Lord, each of us in our own way.
AMEN
Amen. Gratitude.

For Those In Peril On The Sea
Eternal Father strong to save
Whose arm has bound the restless wave
Who bids the mighty ocean deep
It's own appointed limits keep
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in Peril on the sea
O Christ whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy word
Who walkest on the foamy deep
And how amidst the storm did sleep
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in Peril on the sea
O God, the Lord of hill and plain,
O'er which our traffic runs amain.
By mountain pass or valley low,
Wherever, Lord our brethren go,
Protect them by Thy guarding hand
From every peril on the land
O Spirit, whom the Father sent
To spread abroad the firmament.
O wind of heaven, by Thy might
Save all who dare the eagle's flight.
And keep them by thy watchful care
From every peril in the air
O Trinity of love and power,
Our brethren shield in danger's hour.
From rock and tempest, fire, and foe
Protect them wheresoe'er they go.
That evermore shall rise to Thee,
Glad praise from air and land and sea

Lord, bless the prisoners who are trapped in their transgressions on the land in every town. Bless our brothers and sisters who are trapped under orders to serve and present their lives for their government on the high seas inside may sea-worthy vessels. We ask angels and messengers to watch over our helpless and our dutiful prisoners. They have a special concern and a particular need at crucial times like these. I ask that these be heard, and when so—mercifully and properly attended to.
Come in. Encourage. Be encouraged.
We just want to be close to you New York, Tri-state, and all parts North, South, East, and West:

The Prayer and Reflection Room is open for friends and wished for friends!
I cannot think of a group more deserving of our respect and gratitude than the healthcare workers. Like the first responders of 9/11 these individuals truly are putting their health and lives on the line to save others.
Doctors Nurses Paramedics Police officers Homecare workers Pharmacy and other medical workers Grocery store personnel Delivery people Transit workers Airline workers And anyone who works with the public and cannot stay home
Thank you, thank you, a million times
THANK YOU

Completely agree. People are literally putting their lives in danger in order to help others.
The true heroes.
In the pit of despair - help me celebrate with a JOYOUS noise:
Pachelbel's Canon Extreme (no. 21) - 악보^_^
[Silent applause fills the room.]
Friends, a BOLO word of caution. . . .
There are family members and friends who for inaptitude, lack of 'discovery,' fear, or indecent deception are not spilling the proper truth of their COVID-19 test results. I have just been informed of someone who reported a negative test result; now making statements about recent lab results expecting to find antibodies! What is this?!
Loved ones and friends can mean well and be so misinformed as to leave you wide-open to exposure of this and other harmful viruses.
Be On the Look Out.
Take Proper and Measured Precautions not based on Trust in Others, Please.
Lord, we ask for family in our dwelling places, friends who get close to us, those who visit inside our homes, to be honest about their status. We ask angels and messengers to sound the alert over a difficult person or those we can be on the alert about and against who enter our domains during this time of testing, trial, and tribulation.
To all those who are ill, I wish a speedy recovery
To all those who tend to the ill, I wish safety and healing hands
To all those who have lost, I wish you peace and comfort.
To all those who wonder why, sometimes there are no reasons.
To God, I will continually cry out all the more for the peace of the cities of this world and New York City to be restored.
This Easter we celebrate with the joyous and cry alongside the broken in spirit. Peace Be Unto You.
For those of us who have lost a loved one, a close friend, an associate; for those of us who have been reunited with a loved one, a close friend, an associate; I SALUTE YOU and your hardworking individual who lost or won in the pit of coronavirus conquest.
New York Governor Cuomo and many other eastern governors surrounding the state spoke briefly today about building a coalition 'pact' to return workers to their jobs. That is a positive outlook and I am sure New Yorker City residents can appreciate some movement in a different, a better 'lighted' direction.
In other news, I missed seeing CNN's Chris Cuomo in his newshour for two days now. He is such a positive light to me and many others. So, Chris again you are in my mind for your good. Strength and power, I send to you.
I am thankful to my home state of California for its early SHELTER IN PLACE order in March. Monday, April 13, 2020 state numbers stand at:
22,348 total confirmed cases
3,015 hospitalized
1,178 in ICU and,
687 deaths.
We were predicted to have upward of 25 million, yes million, deaths from this virus over the span of this crisis. Our Governor Newsom acted swiftly, and Lord God, we are grateful.
DEPARTMENT OF OOPS !
Let me make a hasty correction:
The notice was on March 19, 2020 and our governor acted fast to see to it that projection -without assist- would not come to be .

Don't intubate too soon, NYC physician warns

Instead of immediately sedating patients with low oxygen levels and placing them on a ventilator, many New York City physicians are using other techniques to boost oxygen levels while patients are conscious. This includes a practice called proning, in which patients roll to their side or stomachs while receiving oxygen to open up their lungs.
Other physicians are using repurposed CPAP machines to increase oxygen levels or special pregnancy mattresses, which includes a cutout for their bellies, to ease the pressure on COVID-19 patients' stomachs and chests.
New York now reports about 21 new intubations a day, down from about 300 daily in late March.

Prayer and Reflection Room is OPEN! Pray for your nation and reflect on what you are experiencing.
As I surrender at the end of another day, I pray for the men and women in other areas of the world and overnight who are rising up to face this masterful virus that has taken the lives of many of our brothers and sisters here and across the face of our beloved home planet.
Lord, bless the minds and the spirits of men and women to pour over the information laid out before them in their own daylight hours-in hopes of a new doable solution debuting tomorrow. We know that the answers to the COVID-19 problem are out there just beyond our leaders and the science collective's grasp; let this trove of answers come closer and even break open before the eyes and ears of our scientists, physicians, and spiritual leaders. For we know there is more in the unseen than in the seen. That it can be revealed at an appointed time. We ask that the time be now.
We ask and we do it with hat in hand; humbly. For there is nothing we can take or demand from beyond and outside of our ability to 'reach' it. Share with humanity the secret to besting COVID-19 . And, men and women like me will valiantly and carefully give you praise due for it!
Share with our waking working world on the other side of the world, while it is today, and they along with us will rise up to make it a far greater and decent tomorrow. — So Be It.
Just an observation. . . .
There has been an absence of well-meaning Christians, exceptional people of faith on this area of the site. This is a common place for prayer and fellowship and sanctuary of sharing for all. I do mean all NT. It is underutilized.
Have you anything to share?
Good Sunday to All!
ICU Nurse In Her Own Words On Caring For Coronavirus Patients: ‘I’m Powering Through’ | Nightly News
With no other outside entries, I will be locking this room at the end of this week.
For two weeks I have carried something beautiful and caring - this room - on my back; waiting for some proper support from my fellow members. There must be so many interesting and ponderously sad stories out there that we can all grow by and from learn something useful. We all have something in this COVID-19 engagement. We have all responded to it in our own unique ways and means. Needlessly to say, I am proud of what I have done here so far.
Now that the nation is making inroads to 'adjust' to the new normal; how are we doing out there?
