Prayer Requests 10-13-14

Anyone have a request or praise to share?

Psalm 104:1-24

¹Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.

11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.

12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.

16 The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.

22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

24 O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

  5. Prayers for my friend Norma who (finally, after 5+ months of tests and poking and probing and appointments that took much too long to schedule as medical office staff kept dropping the ball) goes in for surgery today at 11:30 a.m. (pacific time).

    The plan is to do a laparoscopy first, to scope out whether the 2 masses appear removable. One appears to be next to the liver so it will depend on whether (and how much) it is attached to the organ.

    She’s been such a dear friend for about 15 years now and so many people in church are praying and pulling for her. She’s 81 so a surgery like this also could be tough to recover from, but it was better than the alternative of doing nothing. Her faith is strong, but her body has been flagging through all of this. And she’s just plain tired, she just wants this all to be somehow over with.

  6. That was me on the Ipad–at least it spelled correctly!

    After a lovely memsahib experience in Carmel, I got bad news on my novel–which now pretty much means I start with a blank page this afternoon to rework. I’ve been struggling with the emotional fall out from that.

    (Though I will say I got a really lovely rejection letter on Friday)

    So, after quite a bit of prayer, I got up this morning to read Oswald Chambers. Today’s title:
    “Individual Discouragement and Personal Growth.”

    !!!!!

    Laughing, and feeling better. Thanks for your prayers. Maybe around 3:30 when I stare at a blank, new page to begin again? 🙂

  9. Update on Norma, they have decided to do the full-on surgery and remove the tumors, still in surgery. This is a good thing, of course, but she’ll be hurting. Keep praying for a successful operation, thanks.

  11. Whew. Norma Update — Surgery finished (4 hours), they took two large tumors out. Sounds like he got the totality of each one and prognosis sounds positive, She’ll be in the hospital for another week then some time in a rehab. Thank you again for your prayers, so grateful it sounds as positive as it does.

  12. Thanks for your prayers, and your affirmation, Jo. I got a similar affirmation from a writer I respect who didn’t even know what was happening in my life today. Funny how God does that, isn’t it? Or is it just me? 🙂 Much more cheerful tonight.
