Prayer Requests 9-1-20

Anyone have something to share?

Psalm 47

¹Clap your hands, all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.

²For the Lord Most High is awesome,
    the great King over all the earth.
³He subdued nations under us,
    peoples under our feet.
⁴He chose our inheritance for us,
    the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.

⁵God has ascended amid shouts of joy,
    the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.
⁶Sing praises to God, sing praises;
    sing praises to our King, sing praises.
⁷For God is the King of all the earth;
    sing to him a psalm of praise.

⁸God reigns over the nations;
    God is seated on his holy throne.
⁹The nobles of the nations assemble
    as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings of the earth belong to God;
    he is greatly exalted.

My daughter’s MIL has decided to stop all chemo and heavy drugs. She called my SIL just in case she did not make it home from the hospital. He and his two brothers will be driving up tonight (separately) to try to see her in time. It may be today or weeks, but this seems to be the end for her. My daughter and the grandchildren will drive up in the morning. Please pray for safe driving, for peace for Joann and for those who don’t know the Lord to be open to his presence. Also for wisdom for all and for my grandchildren. It is an over four hour drive for all.

Oh, Katheleena, this is such a difficult time to go through that for everyone. Prayers for traveling mercies and no spread of any type virus that may have been picked up with the new school year.

And I ask for prayers for my church family friends, a black couple, J and M, who have lost another family member this week. They have lost 7 throughout this past year. This was a son of a sister who died. Two people got infected with Covid at the sister’s funeral. I have never been around a family that has lost so many relatives in a year.

Today has kind of been a “down” day for me, with a lot of discouraging news.

A woman affiliated with our church is going to be induced tomorrow, for a baby not expected to live. This afternoon I tuned in to a Bible study for a former church (most of the ladies in it are friends of mine, including my two best friends from the church, and it’s now on Zoom) . . . to find out that my best friend had just had a sister-in-law die suddenly (don’t know her age, but almost certainly under 60), and during the Zoom call another friend texted the leader (who read the text to all of us) that she will be having cancer surgery tomorrow. This other friend and her husband were very much a part of my husband’s and my courtship, hosting him every time he went to town, she was my wedding coordinator, and more. (They don’t live there anymore, so none of us can support them in the ways they supported many of us, and they never had children.)

I haven’t had anything close to a productive day (no editing done at all) though I have just a bit more than a week to finish this big book.

Don’t want to get into details, but stuff with my sister has also re-entered the picture a bit (another brother hoping to help us “reconcile,” though I don’t think that’s actually what she wants . . . she says she does, but if she really did, she wouldn’t be fighting with me since I’m not fighting with her).

So I’m worn out and weary, a soul and spirit weariness.
