Prayer Requests 7-1-15

It’s Wednesday, so don’t forget to pray for The Gambia. 

Anyone else?

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.

  1. I had my initial physical therapy consultation last Friday, which included doing some things like the doctor getting measurements of my range of motion, etc. but today is technically the start of “the real thing?”, maybe you’d call it? I’ve improved a fair amount since last week, and thought about canceling the appointments I’ve set up, but my husband didn’t want me to do that. (He’s had physical therapy, also, with this same doctor, a nice gentleman from our church, and has been pleased with the results, so he encouraged me to not cancel, as the doctor spent a lot of time already working with me to get an appropriate plan set up. And I can understand that.)

    I am kind of apprehensive, though. The PT said it would be uncomfortable, and I believe it. Prayers are appreciated. My appt. is 11:00 Central. If I can get through without passing out (the home exercises are a bit uncomfortable, and the slight pain I’m in doing them causes me to feel lightheaded sometimes), I would be happy. My blood pressure is very low (90s over 50s, generally), so that exacerbates the lightheadedness.

    Thanks.

  3. Glad to hear it, the real. Let us know what they decide.

    Praying Six.

    Husband has to try to straighten his knees so he has to sit on his chair with fifty or sixty pounds directly on the knee. Sounds very uncomfortable to me and from the way he looks, it is to him as well. Does that twice a day.

  4. Thanks, all. It went pretty well. Uncomfortable, yes, but not so bad that we couldn’t carry on a conversation with each other while he was working on my arm/shoulder. I have two new stretches to add to my repertoire — seven now — and we both can see improvement since last Friday.

    Praying, AJ and Mumsee.

  6. OK. I’m home now, and my knee feels much better already. They drained it, and then shot it with some painkiller and some medicine of some type. Got a new knee brace too. I can already bend it and get my foot flat on the floor, which I couldn’t do this morning. 🙂

    They’ll send off the fluid they drained to test for gout and Lymes, the latter because I have chronic joint pain everywhere. The doc also reminded me that this is more than likely a temporary fix, and that sooner or later, he’s probably gonna have to go in there. 😦

  8. I confess I am a meddlesome ex-wife and mother.
    This morning I sent G a text suggesting that he see if BG wanted to go to dinner tonight.
    I just sent a text to BG to ask where she was and what she was doing. She said she was a Friend’s and had a dinner date with Dad.

    A girl needs her daddy.
