Prayer Requests 8-8-23

Anyone have something to share? 

Psalm 27

Of David.

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—
    whom shall I fear?
   The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
    of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked advance against me
    to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
    who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
    my heart will not fear;
   though war break out against me,
    even then I will be confident.

4 One thing I ask from the Lord,
    this only do I seek:
   that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,
   to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
    and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
    he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
    and set me high upon a rock.

6 Then my head will be exalted
    above the enemies who surround me;
   at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
    I will sing and make music to the Lord.

7 Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
    be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
    Your face, Lord, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
    do not turn your servant away in anger;
    you have been my helper.
   Do not reject me or forsake me,
    God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
    the Lord will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, Lord;
    lead me in a straight path
    because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
    for false witnesses rise up against me,
    spouting malicious accusations.

13 I remain confident of this:
    I will see the goodness of the Lord
    in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord;
    be strong and take heart
    and wait for the Lord.

  4. Son is back today, from his tour of the Middle East. Prayer for him as he reconnects. Sadly, he will probably reconnect most with alcoholic son and go back to the same path. But it does not need to be! May God intervene and draw him to Himself.

  5. So sad for those deceived and caught up in various vices common to people since the Fall. This morning in Bible study we were in Genesis. Gotta hate that evil tempter and enemy of God. May God this day lift many from bondage to addictions such as alcohol and put a right spirit in them and change their hard hearts to be softened to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. May that miracle be seen in the families of the Wanderers. Please, Lord. Fill our hesrts with joy over new salvations within our midst. You know the ones of which I speak. In Jesus, I pray, Amen

  9. He is growing up. We learned our lesson and don’t plan to be guardians. He will either cooperate or move out at eighteen or so. We are thinking voc rehab where a job coach goes to work with him to keep him on task. We have not found the key.
