It’s Wednesday, so don’t forget to pray for the Gambia.
Anyone else have something to share?
Psalm 31
¹In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.
4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.
5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
9 Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
14 But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.
17 Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
23 O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.
Prayers, please, for our son to have traveling mercies today. It will be great to see him after this longest time of not seeing him. Thank you for praying.
Please be with Kare and her husband in a major way at the hospital. Help him to feel better soon. Ease Kare’s anxiety. Bless them with quick diagnosis and recovery, please.
Please help Amos in his troubles. Bless Kim with peace as she awaits word.
Please give Wesley traveling mercies today. I ask for him to feel Your presence keeping him company through his flight.
Please bless Mumsee and Mike. You know their needs.
Thanks for praying. We’re still in emerg. Tim’s neck pain and muscle spasms were so severe this morning that he passed out from the pain. They’re trying to get his pain level down so he can have X-rays done. So far he’s had Toradol morphine and now they’re trying dilaudid!!!! Kind of scary.

Praying for Kare & Tim, & also 6 Arrows, & Janice’s son.
Last week, I had trouble getting enough sleep, ending up feeling a lot like 6 Arrows describes. Right on top of that, I developed a muscle ache in my back that is worse when I’m lying down trying to sleep, so it disrupts my sleep. 😦 Prayers appreciated.
Thank you, again, for praying. Tim passed out again when they tried to x-ray him a second time, so they did a CT scan instead and put a C-collar on. The collar is a huge relief as he doesn’t have to hold his head by himself. He still has awful pain, but with the collar he is not spasming or tensing for the spasms. They kept him in hospital overnight as they didn’t want him to pass out and fall at home when we’re so far from town. They figure some anti-inflammatories for a few days should calm things down and let him start to heal. Donna is as good a diagnostician as the resident and the doctor. 🙂 Hopefully, he will feel much better tomorrow.

How scary. Thanks for the updates Kare.
Must be something pinching something. (My official diagnosis.)
I’d never heard of dilaudid until I started watching criminal minds & one of the characters had issues with it.
Will keep praying !
