Prayer Requests 1-7-20

Anyone have something to share?

Psalm 129

A song of ascents.

¹“They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,”
    let Israel say;
²“they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,
    but they have not gained the victory over me.
³Plowmen have plowed my back
    and made their furrows long.
⁴But the Lord is righteous;
    he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.”

⁵May all who hate Zion
    be turned back in shame.
⁶May they be like grass on the roof,
    which withers before it can grow;
⁷a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,
    nor one who gathers fill his arms.
⁸May those who pass by not say to them,
    “The blessing of the Lord be on you;
    we bless you in the name of the Lord.”

I requested prayer last fall for a childhood friend (Debra) of our family’s whose sister (her only sibling) passed away. Their father had died not a long time before that — 21 months earlier — but their mother was still living.

Now their mother has died, which means Debra lost all of the members of her family of origin in just under a 2-year span of time.

There are some hopeful signs that her family and Debra herself is/were believers. Debra, of course, and her family (husband, two daughters, a son-in-law, and a grandchild) will need prayers, nonetheless, experiencing these significant losses in such a short time.

Thank you for praying.
