It's me!!!

How many of you guys remember this song?

It's me, It's me -- Oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer.
It's me, It me -- Oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer.
It's not my mother nor my father but it's me -- Oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer.
It's not my mother nor my father but it's me -- Oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer.
It's not my brother nor my sister but it's me -- Oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer.
It's not my brother nor my sister but it's me -- Oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer.
It's me, It's me -- Oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer.

It's me, It me -- Oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer.

Truth be told we are all in the need of prayer.  Whether it's stress and meeting demands of work, the significant or maybe insignificant other in our lives, the crazy children, whom we love dearly, but rather they would either grow up or go away, only to return when fully independent.  Brothers and sisters we are in a praying time.  But how balanced is your prayer life?  Sometimes I literally discover that I have forgotten to pray for myself.  Sometimes outside of our loved ones and friends, we have to cry out with a loud voice.  It's me oh Lord! -- Standing in the need of prayer. 

The challenge for today is to take 2 minutes and pray for yourself.  God knows what your needs are before you even ask.  Okay, so you may not be a prayer warrior, consider praying the Lord's Prayer or possibly writing a list of things that you know that it would take a mighty move of God to accomplish.  If you're Episcopalian, go grab a Book of Common Prayer and look at the prayers that are near the back.  Remember that seven days without prayer makes one weak.  Don't leave yourself open for enemy attack.  Not only does prayer change things, it also changes us.

Peace,
