Prayer Requests 12-3-12

What should we pray about today?

Psalm 23

1The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

I just love this Psalm.

  1. I love this Psalm, too. A soothing read both day and night.

    Requesting prayer for my husband regarding his job. There are potentially many changes coming effective January 1, largely unknown (though he is not in danger of losing his job) due to the company he works for having bought another company.

    Please pray for my husband’s peace of mind as he waits to see how the transition and beyond plays out. Also pray for our family, as my husband’s change in working conditions could have an impact on our home life.

  2. I popped in to ask for prayers last night for my Baby Girl without much explanation.
    She spent a while last night sobbing in my arms that she wished she were dead, but told me she was afraid to tell me because somehow she thinks she will need to be sent away. (I do admit the thought crossed my mind that Mumsee might be better equipped to deal with this than I am)
    All last week she would text me from school that she hated here life and begged me to come check her out of school. I now work an hour from home. I know she leans towards the more dramatic side so I ignored her. I have sent three emails to her guidance councelor and copied the principal in on at least one of them. I have also left voicemails. No one has bothered to try to contact me.

    Today it becomes more serious. I will go into the office this morning and see what I can get done. I also will contact the therapist she saw last Spring.

    I realize a whole lot of this could just be 15 and hormonal but I also have to throw her thyroid condition into the mix. I know there is a way to fix this, but we all sure could use the prayers.

    Thanks

  3. Kim,
    I’ll be in prayer for both of you. It’s so difficult to see our kids in distress. Thyroid issues can cause depression, as I’m sure you’re aware. I think you are wise to elicit help from her counselor. Good luck with the school. So sorry y’all are going through this.

  5. Thanks for the prayers all. I talked to the school councelor. He said he had not received any messages or emails from me. I am willing to let that slide. He took me seriously. He wanted to know where BG was, if she was at school. I told him it wan’t worth the emotional trauma (to me) of making her go to school today. He asked if she had ever seen a therapist. He was familiar with the one I took her to last Spring. If asked if he could call and try to get her in quicker than I could. We see the therapist at 11:30 and I have a meeting with the school councelor and the 9th grade principal at 1:30.
    As has ALWAYS happened whenever I have had a crisis, George’s secretary is on vacation this week and he cannot attend any of these meetings. I just laughed when he told me and told him not to worry, I would call him with a report.

  7. He restoreth my soul

    How often I have clung to those four words after hitting an emotional bottom!

    I’m praying for Chloe, Kim, and 6 Arrows’ husband [I know that uncertain feeling that comes when your company is bought by another]

    Please add my SIL, Bruce, to your prayer list, he will get the results of his liver biopsy tomorrow. His Hepatitis C has been in remission for years, but his last blood test led to some concern.

  9. Pray for us tomorrow morning. It will be afternoon here, but if you pray for us when you first get up that would be good. We have been having trouble with the clinic staff. We are concerned that they might walk off the job (although I don’t think they will. I think they are trying to threaten the 2 fairly inexperienced missionaries who are running the clinic.) We met with the village elders on Thursday afternoon and they are very supportive of us and think the clinic workers are being ridiculous. They offered to come and have a meeting with our clinic staff. That meeting will take place tomorrow afternoon. I am not part of the clinic, but as the most experienced missionary here right now and the best Wolof speaker I have to be part of the discussion.

  11. Too much to comment on tonight. Ajisuun, thank you. Thank you all who have prayed. I am emotionally exhausted.
    She has another appointment with the therapist on Thursday. She will also have blood drawn that day and we will see her endocrinogist on Friday. The reason she is failing algebra is that she is sleeping through it.

    As I was driving and thinking today, this has been coming for a while but I’ve managed to keep it at bay. I have to think that God has been watching over us to keep this until I had emotional support (Paul) to back me up on this. Literally, Thanks God!
