Prayer Requests 7-25-14

It’s Friday! So don’t forget to pray for Mumsee, Mike, and the Nest.

Anyone else have a request or praise to share?

Psalm 27

¹The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.

7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.

11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

  1. Husband is doing well with the new diagnosis and new prescription.
    We are maintaining. People are keeping busy with their things. I am starting to think of getting the young ones back into school as soon as swimming lessons are over. The older ones probably as soon as harvest is over. Wisdom and patience.

  3. Friend N has a biopsy scheduled today for the lymphoma diagnosis. Pray for the best possible news & a clear course of treatment as she goes forward, one that won’t take too much of a toll on her as she’s in her 80s and generally is a person of low energy levels, tiring easily. She also needs to gain some weight, I think, to give her at least some “reserves” for what’s ahead.

  4. Kare, the rheumatologist in Canada says it is definitely not rheumatoid arthritis as he has no symptoms but the blood test which is quite often skewed due to a vast number of scenarios, many of which husband has had. Such as allergy testing. Anyway, he believes it is an infection in the body. With the recurring staph infections, that makes sense. So he is doing some investigating and in the meantime has husband on a low dose of prednisone which the doc was originally adamantly opposed to due to the side effects. Anyway…..

  5. Yes, prednisone is nasty stuff, and the side effects can make you almost as sick as the disease. But it is a powerful drug and it probably saved my life when I had such trouble with my asthma in The Gambia. I was so wired from the side effects (insomnia and irritability are on the long list) that I had to be given sleeping pills, but it got me back to the point where my body could start healing itself. So, despite its nastiness, prednisone is often the best medicine for the job.
