Prayer Requests 9-25-15

It’s Friday, so don’t forget to pray for Mumsee, Mike, and the young folk at The Nest. 

Anyone else?

Psalm 116

¹I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

6 The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.

8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

9 I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.

12 What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.

14 I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

16 O Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.

18 I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.

19 In the courts of the Lord‘s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

Prayer Requests 9-24-15

It’s Thursday, so please remember to pray for Jo, her students, and the people of PNG.

Anyone else?

Psalm 115

¹Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.

2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.

11 Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.

12 The Lord hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

13 He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great.

14 The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

15 Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth.

16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord‘s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

17 The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.

18 But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise theLord.

Peter’s Pack of Pickled Pigskin Picks “15- Week 4

Put on your prognosticating shoes, folks. Ten more contests on the gridiron to guess the winner. I have included a Pillow Fight, between two teams that can’t seem to win very much. That game also gives Tychicus an extra Big 12 game. And don’t forget to predict the score of the Tie Breaker Game, which is a tough one this week. IBNO chose the Middle Tennessee at Illinois game, since he was last week’s winner. What’s so hard about it? Well, even though MidTen is in a minor conference (C-USA) and Illinois is one of the bottom feeders in the B1G 10, who can say who will win?

So there you are, fellow Wanderers. Have at it.

  1. Boise State @ Virginia (Friday ​7:00 EDT) – Mumsee’s Broncos visit the East Coast.

  2. #24 Oklahoma State @ Texas – The other Oklahoma school crosses the Red River.

  3. #3 TCU @ Texas Tech – Two tough Texas teams tangle together.

  4. Central Florida @ South Carolina – Gamecocks get a breather. Maybe.

  5. Navy @ Connecticut – Midshipmen go to the state where a lot of their ships are made.

  6. #9 UCLA @ # 16 Arizona – This one could decide the PAC-12 South.

  7. #25 Mizzou @ Kentucky – Can the Tigers continue to surprise the SEC?

  8. Mississippi State @ (unranked???) Auburn – Hmm. I wonder if Miss. St. can win at Auburn.

  9. (Pillow Fight) Kansas (0-2) @ Rutgers (1-2) – Jayhawks and Knights. Yawn.

10. Tie Breaker: Middle Tennessee @ Illinois (Guess the winner and the score.) – Some major schools need minor opponents in order to feel like they are having a good season.

Remember: pick winners of all games; guess the final score of the tie breaker, trying not to duplicate someone else’s guess; enter by 7:00pm EDT Friday.

Disclaimer: One entry per person. Prizes include boasting rights and the right to pick the next tie breaker game. Nothing else. Nada. Aught. Diddly. Zippo. Zilch. Zero. No new cars or cash prizes, regardless of the desire or need of the winner.
