In 1779, William Cowper wrote, "God of my life, to Thee I call; afflicted, at Thy feet I fall." That has been the only sincere prayer I've been able to mutter for a while. It's become my meditation and my mantra. I pray for all of God's children, especially the afflicted ones, to call to Him and to Him alone, and to fall at His feet. Really, is there anything else to do? What else besides falling at the foot of the cross and calling to God in my affliction can I do for my friends battling serious health issues, or friends greiving the loss of a loved one? I can do my feeble attempts to help in some way (like walking a marathon to raise money for my friend in her physical affliction, and trying to comfort my greiving friend), but ultimately the thing that will help them (and also help me) most is calling to God on their behalf, and on my own behalf,
just falling at the foot of the cross, pleading with my all-powerful and compassionate Father.
Happy Friday the 13th . . . that is, unless you suffer from triskaidekaphobia.
Check my Flickr pictures for visual images of my precious peep falling at the foot of the cross and calling to God.

Your Flicr collection has stayed the same for like a year.
I don't have triskaidekaphobia. In fact, I enjoy Friday the 13th. :)
The best you can do for your friends is to pray for them. I finally learned to say, What can I do beside pray for you? rather than, All I can do is pray for you, as if prayer is something of a second class second thought when it is one of the activities both the Lord and the Holy Spirit engage in for us 24/7.
Pardon sermonising.
Please keep my in-laws in your prayers too. Details if you wish them.
