Prayer Requests 8-7-19

It’s Wednesday, so don’t forget Ajissun and the folks in The Gambia.

Anyone else?

Psalm 5

Listen to my words, Lord,
    consider my lament.
Hear my cry for help,
    my King and my God,
    for to you I pray.

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
    in the morning I lay my requests before you
    and wait expectantly.
For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
    with you, evil people are not welcome.
The arrogant cannot stand
    in your presence.
   You hate all who do wrong;
you destroy those who tell lies.
   The bloodthirsty and deceitful
    you, Lord, detest.
But I, by your great love,
    can come into your house;
   in reverence I bow down
    toward your holy temple.

Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness
    because of my enemies—
    make your way straight before me.
Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
    their heart is filled with malice.
   Their throat is an open grave;
    with their tongues they tell lies.
10 Declare them guilty, O God!
    Let their intrigues be their downfall.
   Banish them for their many sins,
    for they have rebelled against you.
11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
    let them ever sing for joy.
   Spread your protection over them,
    that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

12 Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;
    you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

  1. She is sprung and laughing over Beethoven 2.

    Interestingly, she again did not have a good night of sleep as, at the nurse’s station they were listening to music. Who do you suppose? First one up: Billie Eilish. She colored some very dark pictures and wrote some astonishingly dark stuff but managed to rebound. Had a good talk with the psychologist about religion and that it is to help her, not to make her feel like a prisoner.

    Prayer for her continuing recovery. And for us to be wise.

  2. I remember the years of struggle with our relative. Now he is pretty much stable and leads bible studies. Once in awhile he will call with some paranoia or some such. A little reassurance and some grounding in reality goes a long way. I pray she will have all the best help she needs to get beyond this and into what God wants in her life for His glory.
