Prayer Requests 3-1-14

Anyone have a request or praise to share?

Psalm 37:1-27

¹Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.

10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.

18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

What’s interesting in the news today?

Open Thread Weekend, so enjoy yourselves.

Here’s one I found interesting, with a Hat/Tip to Janice for bringing it to my attention.

From Alliance Defending Freedom “Obamacare’s Abortion Pill Mandate is on trial at the U.S. Supreme Court on March 25, 2014. Two family-owned companies, Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties, are challenging the Abortion Pill Mandate that would force them to pay for life-ending drugs, or face crippling fines. The outcome will have a dramatic impact on your religious freedom in America.

With so much at stake, Alliance Defending Freedom is committing to pray during the 9 weeks leading up to the court date. We invite you to join us each week, lifting up the people and issues related to the trial. “

“Americans are finding out every day that there is a lot not to like about Obamacare, but  the most offensive aspect of Obamacare is its assault on religious freedom.”

“All Americans – including job  creators – should be free to live according to their faith and to honor God in their  work. But Obamacare’s architects have decided that employers can only be  concerned about their bottom line and must leave their faith at the door whenever  they open for business.”

We’re seeing this same type of assault on religious freedoms where the issue of homosexuality is concerned. Dissent is not tolerated.
