Prayer Requests 4-21-14

Anyone have a praise or request they’d like to share?

Psalm 81

¹Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

²Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

³Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

⁴For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

⁵This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.

⁶I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.

⁷Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

⁸Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

⁹There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

¹⁰I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹¹But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

¹²So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

¹³Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

¹⁴I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

¹⁵The haters of the Lord should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

¹⁶He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

As we were kayaking yesterday afternoon it was too hard to talk with the splashing of the paddles and the other boats, but it was quiet enough to think. There has been so much noise around me lately that I haven’t really been able to think. I had some good conversation with BG this weekend. She told me she had made some mistakes but that she had learned from them—most of this was voluntary information. I asked a few questions and she answered them. Finally I went too far and she shut down. A friend has suggested that it might be best if someone else catches her misbehavior other than me. I thought about that a lot yesterday. It would be best, then I am not the nag. I think my job right now is to love her, hold my arms open for when she needs me, and smother her in prayer. To that end I am asking all of you to continue to pray for her.
I have also decided to go talk to my doctor. There have been times in my past when I had to have a little chemical help dealing with the situation I was in. The last time was after my father died. I am not sleeping, I have no energy, I really have no desire to do anything. I would have been happy to sit outside in the sun and read yesterday if it had not been for Mr P wanting to get out of the house. For the first time in my life I haven’t really celebrated a holiday. What was the point? All classic signs of me being depressed.

sounds like a wise decision, Kim. You can clearly see the difference in yourself.

Asking for a little prayer for my son.He managed to get through two weeks without getting in trouble at school but he left this morning in a bad mood. He also had his worse report card in a while. F in history.

OK, Kbells. Wondering what his excuse was for that F? Does he see no sense in history? Bad teacher? Just curious.

Though I haven’t joined in the discussion around here much lately, I do want you to know I’ve been praying per the requests on this and the daily thread.

Ann, I hope your daughter was not traumatized by the events at her friend’s house where she had the sleepover. Praying the same for her friend’s family, too.
