Prayer Requests 1-14-15

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.

Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.

Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.

I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

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.

  1. My father-in-law was in the hospital for a week, then was transferred to a nursing-home-type situation somehow associated with the hospital. We don’t know if that’s a temporary or permanent place for him to stay. My mother-in-law would not be able to care for him alone anymore in their home in the condition he’s in, physically and mentally.

    Still lots of unanswered questions about what really is going on and what the next step is. Prayers appreciated for wisdom and patience in dealing with this.

  2. Praying with you 6 Arrows and KI about your parents and the transitions that are happening.

    I would like to ask for prayers tomorrow for my daughter. She is scheduled to have her baby. This is her first boy. I would pray that the induction and delivery would go well for both mom and baby.

  3. Heavenly Father,

    I begin this new day with thoughts of You and what all You might be doing in this day. We see such a little piece of Your big picture. You weave it all together for good for those who love you and are called by You for Your purposes. Thank You for listening to each of our prayers.

    6 Arrows mentions the family situation regarding the father in a nursing/rehab facility and the need for a long term care facility. Lord, You know how stressful the not – knowing what will happen time can be. Please, in Your wisdom and grand inventory of provision, work out the best possible scenario for superior care, convenient location, financially doable, and pleasant and clean environment. Please give family peace of mind as they trust and wait for Your answers.

    Abba, perfect Father, please bless the birth of R KESSLER ‘ S grandson. I ask that You would give a safe delivery with no complicating factors. Please make the time at the hospital be a good experience with kind nurses and doctors. Thank You for all the available helps we have for delivery of healthy babies and recuperation of new mothers. You are the God in whom we trust with this precious request.

    I pray in Jesus’ name.
    Amen
