"A Little Prayer (Wolverine's Theme)"
from "X-Men"
Lyrics by John Aboud
Vocals by Marya Grandy
Music by Baron and Baron Productions
Cold shiny claws
Pop out from my paws
To slay the evil mutants,
But they can't stop
Anti-mutant laws
Which spread with such virulence.
Normal humans suspect
They'll be crushed like insects
Sometime in the near future.
Professor X
Calmly interjects
Our wise but crippled tutor.
My mutant chromosomes
And the strong metal in my bones
Help me fight Sentinel robot drones
And I heal very quickly.
We're special, see,
Born differently
The children of the Atom
Senator Kelly
Calls me "mutie"
He'll taste my adamantium.
Cut you down to size
Cream and murderize
Sabertooth like so much spinach.
Rays from Cyclops's eyes
Will finalize
Big fights I can not finish.
My mutant chromosomes
And the
Strong metal in my bones
Help me
Fight Sentinel robot drones
And I heal very quickly.

By Dr. Harold Sala
Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. John 16:24, NKJV
Did you say your prayers last night? a father asked his little girl at breakfast. Candidly she replied, No, daddy. I didn't want anything last night. Well, there is one thing for sure: When your back is to the wall, when trouble is knocking at your door, or a tropical storm is threatening to wipe out your home, you pray . You really pray. None of this business of rubbing your eye brows and mumbling a few words.
But are times of desperation the only times we need to pray?
I often think of asking an airline pilot friend of mine what he thought about when he lost an engine on an Airbus A320. His response was that he didn't have time to think. He was so engrossed in stabilizing the plane and getting the passengers safely to an airport that he himself went on "automatic pilot." But what stuck in my mind so forcibly was his comment which followed as he said, That's why you had better be ready to meet the Lord any time because sometimes you don't have time to pray.
Prayer, said John R. Rice, is asking and receiving. And that is true, but it is much more than this. Question: Why should God answer my prayer, or any one else's prayer for that matter?
In Paul's letters he tells us that prayer is based upon a relationship, and he uses the analogy of the relationship of a father and a child who has been adopted. As the adopted son, the youngster has a new relationship with his father. He belongs to him, and because of this, the little child asks freely of his father, who delights in bringing happiness to the little boy.
You find this truth in Galatians 4 and Romans 8 in the New Testament.
Frankly, I am often reproved by the simple faith of brothers and sisters—often in faraway lands—who ask God quietly to do something, and God honors that request. In our sophistication, we rely upon miracle drugs and medicines, upon MRIs and CAT scans, upon medical technology, not bothering to bring our needs to God's throne in prayer.
Instead of walking up a dirt trail or road to a prayer mountain where a thatched roof offers some shade as believers pray, we beat a well-worn path to a doctor's office where we trust medical science. Now, lest I be misunderstood, I'm not opposed to the remarkable help which the medical profession and science and technology have brought to us. But I'm wondering if with our sophistication and progress, we have forgotten the simple truth that God still hears and answers prayer.
On the wall of my godly grandmother's home was a little plaque which read, Prayer changes things! Yes, I know what it meant. But I've come to learn that prayer changes people and people change things. Most of our problems are not typhoons or tornadoes or even bacteria or blight, but people problems—the kind medical science cannot change.
Have you marked those promises in your Bible such as Mark 11:24, which says, Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours? And Matthew 18:19, which says, "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.
I think James was right when he said that we have not because we ask not. Never forget the encouragement which Jesus gave to His disciples as He said, Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full (John 16:24, NKJV). Yes, why not ask even now?

MORNING PRAYER
by Dr. Harold Sala
In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. Psalm 5:3
C.S. Lewis, a professor at Cambridge University , usually had his morning tea, then headed for the classroom or study. He also discovered what you have probably learned--that it is better to pray for God's guidance and help at the beginning of the day than to look back at the end of the day and beg for forgiveness. Said Lewis, "The moment you wake up each morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists in shoving it all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger, strong, quieter life come flowing in."
For centuries wise men and women have sought God's help at the beginning of the day, taking time for prayer and meditation, asking God for wisdom. You think clearly early in the morning before you are bombarded by ringing telephones, honking horns and the blurring of details—all of which you are convinced must be done today.
There is nothing to compare with the freshness of a new day, the cool morning, the crispness of the air. It's true everywhere, but especially true in desolate, dry areas. When David hid from Saul, he often spent time in the desolate area near the Jordan . In Psalm 63 he spoke of his early morning encounters with God. Here are his words: "A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah . O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water" (Psalm 63:1, NKJV).
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German patriot and theologian who was finally executed by the Third Reich, also knew the importance of beginning his day with God. He wrote, "O God, early in the morning do I cry unto you. Help me to pray and to think only of you. I cannot pray alone. In me there is darkness. But with you there is light."
In my personal life, I've found that the best time to seek the Lord is upon rising. This is my time, and when, for whatever reason, I miss that, I feel shortchanged and somewhat inadequate, praying quick prayers during the day—like a firefighter with a squirt gun.
I must warn you, however, there are some enemies, some challenges of early morning prayer. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
Enemy #1: Drowsiness. That's why I usually fill my coffee mug and open my Bible about the same time. If you get drowsy when you pray, then walk and pray. Or pray audibly. Take an old notebook and write your prayers.
Enemy #2: Wandering thoughts. Frankly, that's the one which I fight the most. Oswald Smith, the great missionary statesman, had the same problem. He once wrote, "I used to have all kinds of thoughts, plans and programs come in upon me when I was praying, and I found myself thinking. And how did I get rid of these wandering thoughts? By praying aloud, by putting my petitions into words. I always pray aloud," he said, "and have done so for the last forty years of my life." Though it's not impossible, it's difficult to let your thoughts stray when you are carrying on a conversation with someone. The same thing is true when you pray audibly.
Enemy #3: Interruptions. That's why taking time for prayer at the beginning of your day will beat the ringing of the telephone or the challenge of unscheduled conversations, or the little voice that says, "Mommy, can I have....?" Try the morning watch.

The town of Ware, MA is like any other small rural town - twenty something's with little direction causing trouble, oversexed housewives seducing their daughter's friends, crazy former crack heads starting religious cults...just a quaint stop off Route 9. Everybody in Ware seems to have a void to fill, they just use different means. Steve Reynolds had been filling his void with drugs, but a vision of God has now inspired him to "recruit people into the Lord's army." His methods for bringing about a spiritual awakening are twofold - either prayer or crossbow (if one doesn't work, the other always does). While on his modern day crusade "Father" Reynolds must fight his own obsessive compulsive demons as well as a checkered past, a slew of uncontrollable Disciples and a tendency to relate the Old Testament to Survivor. Will Steve be able to save the sinners from their sins with a little divine intervention...
only God knows.

 | 5 Minutes Bible Study - When Can I Meet with God?
Tags: Bible, communications, science, social, Study
Description:
WHEN CAN I MEET WITH GOD?
by Dr. Harold Sala
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
A pastor began his message reading Psalm 42. He read, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?" He had no sooner asked the question of the psalmist, "When can I go and meet with God?" when the voice of a little child, about six years of age, loudly proclaimed, "Right now!"
At least someone was listening, and although the pastor hadn't expected an answer to that rhetorical question, the simplicity and honesty of the child's response was far more moving and sincere than anything anyone could have said.
When can I go and meet with God? Right now! Suppose, just suppose for a moment that you were to have an audience with the Creator, the Almighty who knows neither beginning nor ending, the Alpha and Omega, the Supreme Judge of the Universe, what would you say? "Just a minute," you may be thinking? "All those titles sound rather scary, and besides, I don't know what I would say."
If, however, God is your heavenly Father, and you know that you are His child, and besides, every day you spend time in His presence as you open your heart in prayer, there is nothing frightening about meeting with Him. If you had a meeting with a business executive, say, an acquaintance with whom you do business, no doubt you would think about your presentation-- what you would say and the order in which you would present your case. If, on the other hand, you were meeting a close friend for lunch, you would probably just talk in random sequence. As you thought of something important, you'd just say it, right?
Well, when you meet with God, on occasion both approaches are valid. You don't have to prepare a sales presentation when you talk with your heavenly Father. You can just say what's on your heart. But if the prayers of Paul in the New Testament form a pattern for our prayers (and I believe they should), there are certainly elements which should be included in our prayers. Like what?
First, the ingredient of thanksgiving. Before you ask God for anything, focus on what He has already done for you. Sometimes this necessitates reflection, pondering God's goodness in the past, momentarily forgetting the needs that you have. "Pray continually," says Paul, adding, "give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:17,18). To the Philippians Paul wrote, "...In everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God" (Philippians 4:6).
Next, include the element of worship and praise. This changes your focus from what you want to who God is, and it is amazing how quickly your problems get dwarfed when you really see the greatness and majesty of the Almighty. A few moments of reflection on hymns or songs such as Jack Hayford's "Majesty," or the old favorite, "How Great Thou Art," begin to liberate your downtrodden spirit.
As you reflect, search your own heart. Call this confession. "If we confess our sins," writes John, "he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).
Then comes the petitions or requests. "We have not because we ask not," wrote James, the half-brother of Jesus. John 16:24 commands, "Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." "When can I meet with God?" asked the psalmist. Why not take the advice of a little boy who suggested, "Right now!" Yes, why not?
