Prayer Requests 7-27-19

Anyone have something to share?

Psalm 146

1 Praise the Lord.

   Praise the Lord, my soul.

2 I will praise the Lord all my life;
    I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
3 Do not put your trust in princes,
    in human beings, who cannot save.
4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;
    on that very day their plans come to nothing.
5 Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
    whose hope is in the Lord their God.

6 He is the Maker of heaven and earth,
    the sea, and everything in them—
    he remains faithful forever.
7 He upholds the cause of the oppressed
    and gives food to the hungry.
   The Lord sets prisoners free,
8  the Lord gives sight to the blind,
   the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,
    the Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord watches over the foreigner
    and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
    but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

10 The Lord reigns forever,
    your God, O Zion, for all generations.

   Praise the Lord.

  1. The Ossetian language is part of the Iranian group of the Indo-European language family. The northern half of their traditional homeland, Ossetia or Alania, is in the Russian North Caucasus. The southern half was an autonomous region in Georgia but has been at war for many years, supported by Russia, and has currently broken away from Georgia with its own border, recognised as independent by Russia and a few other countries.

    Some Ossetians are Muslim, others are Orthodox Christian, and some follow their own unique, ancient animist religion, with its body of legends about the Narts, their mythical heroes and heroines (some of which are shared with many other Caucasus peoples). Getting past their ancient traditional religions is a major spiritual barrier to coming into real relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

    Please pray…
    We need to find keys to reaching them in their culture, and help them find their destiny as a people of God. As with all ancient peoples of the Caucasus, of which there are many, they need to deal with a pride that is a barrier between them and God.
    The area needs peace after long years (in the south) of war with Georgia.

  2. Tonight I was able to easily compose an email to my siblings about my most recent visit to my parents. (The email I was struggling with so much last evening.) Matter-of-fact and without emotion. THANK YOU for the prayers. I was a long way from that ease yesterday.
