Prayer Requests 11-12-13

Who has a request or praise to share?

Psalm 86

¹Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

11 Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.

15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

  1. Heavenly Father,

    Thank You for another day when we can be thankful for knowing You care for us and never leave us alone in our troubles. Some are greatly troubled, especially in Oklahoma, because a beloved son has died in a plane crash. Please comfort those who are processing this totally unexpected grief. May they know joy in the midst of sorrow as they consider their son’s new home in heaven. May the family and friends and the funeral service be a strong witness of how Jesus has overcome that old enemy, death.

    Abba, I also continue in lifting up 6 Arrows, Help her to feel comforted each day to know she has friends here who do understand that she has a full life with great responsibility. May she feel espeecially loved by her husband who takes seriously his role as the leader of their family. Thank You that he sets reasonable boundaries to guard their precious time. I pray You will help 6 Arrows be creative in limiting her computer time. Please provide paper catalogs of homeschool curriculums for her to review before she goes online to research the best. Lord, You know how You blessed my son and I with the used curriculum fairs. It was a wonderful yearly treat to see what was out there and it gave my son a chance to be in on the selection. You hVe a multitude of alternatives to computer usage for 6 Arrows. Please give her increasing wisdom in this area.

    I pray in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus. Amen

  2. Such a good reminder:

    “Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God’s grace… Pharisee-type believers unconsciously think they have earned God’s blessing through their behavior. Guilt-laden believers are quite sure they have forfeited God’s blessing through their lack of discipline or their disobedience. Both have forgotten the meaning of grace because they have moved away from the gospel and have slipped into a performance relationship with God.” – Jerry Bridges

  3. Thank you for that prayer, Janice. I really appreciated this: “Thank You that he sets reasonable boundaries to guard their precious time.”

    Yes, that is such an important reminder to me to be thankful for that, and not to chafe under what my flesh likes to tell me is a restriction. That was very needful and a blessing for me to read today.

    Donna, that’s a great quote. I have a little notebook where I write down quotes and other things I come across that really speak to me. This one made it into the notebook today. Thank you.

    All of you reading here and praying, thank you for lifting me up. It is helping.
