Prayer Requests 5-18-16

It’s Wednesday, so don’t forget to pray for The Gambia, and for Ajisuun as well. 

Anyone else?

Psalm 33

¹Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth.

He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

10 The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

11 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

13 The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.

21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

  1. Posted by 6 Arrows last night:

    “Heart rate and other problems I mentioned above seem to be back to normal tonight. Thank you for prayers.

    “I’m not sure how many will see this, but I’d appreciate prayers for my performance Saturday night. I’m hoping to avoid nervousness, and play to the best of the ability God’s given me. If I’m nervous, my hands shake, and it’s very difficult to get a good sound that way if the shake is excessive.

    “I won’t be on the blog the rest of the week, so if any of you who do see this would like to remind the others to pray, I would sure appreciate that. 🙂 Thank you.”

  2. Lee has been offered the job, but he’s not sure if he should take it. The guarantee, which is more than we originally thought, would be about what he is making now, but of course we don’t know if the commission would bring his pay above that or not. The drive to the “depot” is about an hour, & then his route would be a trek, too. He hasn’t given an answer yet, but needs to do so probably within the next couple days.

    More prayers for wisdom & direction, please. (And thank you.)

    (There is a possible fly in the ointment. He signed an agreement with his current company not to work for another bakery for two months after leaving. But the new company is strictly bread products, whereas Diana’s has actual bakery products like cakes & cookies, too, so we don’t know if it would apply to this.)

  3. Lee went to bed still not knowing what he will do, & feeling down about it. The pros & cons of the job he has vs. the offered job (as much as we know about it) are almost a wash. One thing he does know is that travel to & from work will double from what he travels now.

    We prayed that he will awaken with a firm idea of which direction to go, as he needs to give the guy an answer sometime tomorrow.

  4. My policy has been “never move unless it’s up”.
    Or unless it looks like the president situation will slip.
    All sorts of situations, but you should gain something from a move.

    Kim, for instance would benefit from a parallel move with a better “guy”.

  5. That’s generally what we would think, too. But the new position has the possibility of being much better than what he has now. It’s the not knowing if it would pan out or not that is the problem. He had been encouraged by a couple guys he’s previously worked with to apply there.
