I added the following to my prayer list. I hope you will also add it to your own prayer list.

Pray for Maritime SDA OnLine that it will become a haven of rest where we all can grow in the Lord and be a greater service to our church and to others.

Also pray that others will be drawn to Maritime SDA OnLine and will become members of MSDAOL.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I sincerely believe that You impressed me to create this forum initially for the benefit of our Maritime Conference and Canadian people which as a result of a not so great of an anticipated Maritime and Canadian response, was soon expanded to include the whole world.

I thank you for the atmosphere and blessings that You initially blessed this forum with, however, very soon after the devil tried to discourage this forum from without which eventually affected things from within the forum.

As You know, Maritime SDA OnLine suffered from this outside and inside influence, and its atmosphere was affected as a result, but You are still here working and enouraging this forum to continue through the participation of the faithful members and moderators of MSDAOL. I thank You for their faithfulness that, according to Internet Statistics from an unbiased outside source, has made MSDAOL the most active of all the other SDA type forums.

I also thank You for the donations that made it possible for MSDAOL to continue and expand from its beginning. The substantial donation near the beginning of MSDAOL's existence came just at the right time. A later and more recent substantial donation of about a year ago made it possible for MSDAOL to continue and upgrade its software. I especially thank You, dear Lord, for impressing those two particular donours to donate those substantial dollars to the ministry of MSDAOL.

I now pray for the restoration of the atmosphere and the mission and vision of MSDAOL, that it may truly become a haven of rest where the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ will be presented and lived in the lives of those who are posting here. I thank You that this prayer request is already being realized in the fact that one of our newer members were baptized into Your truth, and have, he and his family, given their lives over to You in Christian service within their local church. I thank You for this encouraging sign which tells me that MSDAOL is heading in the right direction and that the loving and caring atmosphere of MSDAOL is being restored. Please help us to always love one another here as You have loved and still continue to love us.

Please help us all to be on our guard that the devil will not be able to infiltrate into MSDAOL a bad atmosphere. Give me and the moderators here discernment as we lovingly watch over the forums of MSDAOL.

I now conclude this pray by asking You to direct others here to Maritime SDA OnLine where they will feel right at home amongst this Family Fellowship of Forums.

I thank You for hearing and for already responding to this prayer.

In the Loving and Caring Name of Jesus Christ I pray,

Amen!
