Prayer Requests 10-17-17

Anyone have something to share?

Psalm 66

1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth!
2  Sing the glory of his name;
    make his praise glorious.
3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
    So great is your power
    that your enemies cringe before you.
4 All the earth bows down to you;
    they sing praise to you,
    they sing the praises of your name.”

5 Come and see what God has done,
    his awesome deeds for mankind!
6 He turned the sea into dry land,
    they passed through the waters on foot—
    come, let us rejoice in him.
7 He rules forever by his power,
    his eyes watch the nations—
    let not the rebellious rise up against him.

8 Praise our God, all peoples,
    let the sound of his praise be heard;
9 he has preserved our lives
    and kept our feet from slipping.
10 For you, God, tested us;
    you refined us like silver.
11 You brought us into prison
    and laid burdens on our backs.
12 You let people ride over our heads;
    we went through fire and water,
    but you brought us to a place of abundance.

13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings
    and fulfill my vows to you—
14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
    when I was in trouble.
15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you
    and an offering of rams;
    I will offer bulls and goats.

16 Come and hear, all you who fear God;
    let me tell you what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
    his praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened;
19 but God has surely listened
    and has heard my prayer.
20 Praise be to God,
    who has not rejected my prayer
    or withheld his love from me!

  1. Could I ask for prayer for us? I’m crumbling. Not sleeping didn’t help. I’m missing only one med, I thought it was more, and after I fell apart crying on the phone with both doctor AND pharmacist, I’ve discovered I just need one. Don’t know if I should call back and cancel all–except I could use the blood pressure meds I may or may not need at this point.

    I’m concerned I’m not thinking clearly and I need to be doing that.

    Daugher-in-law has been wracked by nightmares–bad nightmares of fleeing–all night long and now has/gets to drive to her parents 2.5 hours away with two kids and two cats in the car.

    We’re all having trouble focusing, even The Commander. I’ve got new appreciation for refugees (!) and people who have been traumatized–and that’s not even me. Chances are like 99% my house will stand, I have friends, close friends, who have lost it all.

    (But I cannot go to the hell of shame and survivor’s guilt–which are FALSE!)

    We’re going to be broken a long time out here in Sonoma County. I’ll be one of us.

    OC today, the classic, “prayer is the greater work.” Let it roll!

    Smiling now. But then Adorable #5 has put on ridiculous boogie music and the kitten is flying around the house. Where there’s life, there’s laughter and it’s good. xoxo

  6. Michelle – I’m not in the same situation, but I understand about the scattered thinking, feeling like your brain is not working as it should. And breaking down into sobs, exacerbated by lack of sleep.

    Prayers for you & yours.

  8. I need a brain too, got halfway to the bus stop this morning and realized I had left my bus pass in my apartment. Thankfully, I had left early, so I wasn’t late to anything. Trying not to worry over the strike, but it is so strange to be moving forward with some but not all of my school courses. I can see many ways this could be disastrous, and few where it could work out well. I understand talks have broken down between the two sides and the strike could be a long one. As I said, trying not to panic.

  9. Oh, and the doctor yesterday was totally stumped by my descriptions of my recurring sore throat – which is back again. He suggested more steroid medication (nasal spray this time), I nixed the suggestion (the inhaler is powerful enough already). He sent me for a blood test, we shall see what the results show (probably nothing, but it’s worth a try).

  10. The Boy’s fever seemed to go away, but is back this evening. Tomorrow will be another day at home. Nightingale is working during the day, so it’ll be just he & I at home together. Please pray he gets well soon, & that tomorrow goes well for us. Thank you.
