Forwards and More Forwards

[miltie]

I got the following email delivered to my inbox today.
I don't usually forward lots of jokes or inspirational emails unless I think they're just that good, and While I have no problem forwarding enlightening messages that have to do with God, his blessings, and prayer, I think this one is over the top.

Curious to know what you think about it? We'd all like to get rich and not have to worry about money, but I think I would feel more comfortable asking God to keep me grounded and not stray from the right path than to ask him to send me lots and lots of money.....see below:

God bless you with physical & spiritual abundance...
>
>
>May God pour you out a blessing that there is not room enough to receive it.
>
>May you have $0.00 balances on all your bills FINANCIAL SALVATION FOR 2006. We can all use this. Here is your financial salvation! It's a simple prayer, you got 30 seconds? Don't sleep on this....Someone recently read this for the first time and received exactly enough for a $0 balance on all bills. If you need a financial blessing, continue reading this email.
>The Prayer:
>
>Heavenly Father, Most Gracious and Loving God, I ask that You will abundantly bless my family and I. I know that You recognize that a family is more than just a mother and father, sister and brother, husband and wife, but all who believe and trust in You. Father, I send up a prayer request for financial blessing for not only the person who sent this to me, but for me and all that I have forwarded this message to. And that the power of joined prayer by those who believe and trust in you is more powerful than anything. I thank You in advance for Your blessings. Father GOD, deliver the person reading this right now from debt and debt burdens. Release your Godly Wisdom that they may be good stewards over all that YOU have called them to be in their financial handling. Father, I know how Wonderful and Mighty You are and how if we just obey You and walk in Your Word and have the faith of a mustard seed, that You will pour out Your blessings. I thank you now Lord for all the
>blessings I have received and for the blessings yet to come because I know You are not done with me yet.
>
>In Jesus Name, I pray, Amen.
>
>TAKE 60 SECONDS and Send it on quickly and within hours, you will have caused a multitude of people to pray to God for each other. Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life for doing the thing that you know He loves, which is talking toHim and sharingHis word. God bless you all.
>** REMEMBER : - ) Because HE lives, YOU live also!

I love these things and can only hope and pray for the blessings.

ok, ok. then i will pray that YOU get money if you pray for me to get money. i just can't ask it for myself

[MsNikaPooh]

I know I feel funny asking for myself but I will ask for everyone else and hope that they would do the same for me. I believe that God works for you the best when you are busy asking for and helping others. Something about thanking him for helping Sister or Brother So and So and next thing you know you are getting blessed.

What the heck, I'm on board. I wish $0.00 balances (on money owed) and big balances (on money in the bank, etc.) for everyone here.

[Hmph]

and an Amen to that!

Blah, I hate it when those kinds of things get forwarded to me...not really so much about praying and stuff...just in general. They are, in my opinion, just a waste of time...the whole 'something good will happen if you do this' or 'something bad will happen if you don't send this to at least 5 people' bit is really old. Look, if something bad happens to you, its not because an E-Mail said it would...its because life is like that and things happen...same with the good...'nuff said.

But praying CAN and DOES help...way more than forwarding one of those E-Mails...

I just pray that I can pay off my student loans quickly and save enough money to move out of here!!
