Prayer Requests 3-9-15

Anyone have something to share?

Psalm 80

¹Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.

2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.

3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

4 O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.

6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

9 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.

10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.

11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.

12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.

14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

19 Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

  2. My weekend retreat was about prayer. We looked upward, inward, and outward in our prayer lives. Toward the end of Saturday we were to break into small groups according to the house we stayed in and discuss. The woman who owned two of the houses and stayed in her home by herself (full time resident) asked my house to meet at her home. (confused yet?). It is a beautiful home on Perdido Bay but since it is her full time home is decorated in antiques. Hanging over the fireplace was a portrait painting of her three daughters. Somehow when I wasn’t paying attention the rest of the women decided that I should lead this portion of our discussion. I made the comment that we had examined prayer from many sides but we had yet to look at answered prayer.
    I started out by saying that BG is 17 and regularly takes my heart out and stomps all over it. The other women shared their stories of the difficulties they had had with their own daughters to make me feel better and assured me that if we could make it to 25 we would become friends.
    I then told them that she (BG) is literally an answered prayer. I told how I had everyone I knew and even strangers from calling prayer hotlines all over the Southeast asking for a baby. I told how I had gone through two artificial inseminations and “broken up” with my doctor when he convinced me to go through it one more time. He prayed with George and me that morning. The woman who owned the house started crying. She could barely get the words out. Her 30 year old daughter and her husband desperately want a baby and are going through infertility treatment.
    Tomorrow (Tuesday), C is going through a procedure in Denver to try to conceive a child. She has less than a 10% chance of this working, but I know from being told it would never happen for me that miracles DO happen and that many prayers help miracles happen.
    Today and tomorrow I am asking all of you to pray for this young woman. The more the better.
    Thank you,
    Kim

  3. Today we drive up to Spokane to pick up son so he can attend our old friend’s funeral. Husband is having another rough day so it may go to me to drive. I don’t drive much anymore. I have driven in many large cities but my eyesight and my brainsight have both deteriorated so I don’t like to. Maybe I can get daughter to run up there, she is closer. We will see. Prayer for wisdom, as always.

  4. Well, we arranged for daughter to run up there so I would only have to drive three hours rather than five but then husband decided he was not up to walking at all and is more comfortable if I stay around so we got son a rental car instead. He can pilot fighters, I suspect he can pilot a rental.

  5. I am so sorry (distraught?) to hear this about Mike. He is such a larger than life personality and the thought of him not moving around saddens me. (you know it IS all about me 😉 )

  7. Good thing we decided not to go. The plane had a malfunction and turned back with a three hour delay. And there was some sort of traffic stop going on up by Moscow, delayed daughter for half an hour going to karate and again going back. Son should be pulling in about now.
