Lonliness of God

“And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the Garden. Then the Lord God called to the man and said to him, ‘Where are you?’” Genesis 3:8-9

“’Abba! Father! All things are possible for Thee; remove this cup from Me, yet not what I will, but what Thou wilt.’” Mark 14:36

“And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?’ which is translated, ‘My God, My God, why hast Thou Forsaken Me.’” Mark 15:34

“The central idea of the great part of the Old Testament may be called the idea of the loneliness of God.” – GK Chesterton *

Take care to understand His Word. Your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene

PS: New Prayer Requests: Fred’s first heart procedure was successful, one more to go. Casey, with huge life changes. Sue, recovered from cancer, now battling a rare-related condition (paraneoplastic syndrome). Earl, with cancer, needs bone marrow & for Lyle who may be a match. Adrian for loss of a special friend (and praise the Lord has helped him find a home and work.).

JOB Related: Pray for those seeking work, that they will trust the Lord to be preparing the perfect role for them, even now as we pray: Carla, had job interviews last week; Barb had her job interview also after waiting so long. Tim (as he supports Barb) also needs work.

Praise: Michael got the full-time job he has hoped for. Leslie has completed her chemo and no signs of cancer remain. Freddy came home to see his mom! David (great health now!); Nancy (with head trauma) has passed 6 month mark and doing well. The other Nancy continues her battle with Ovarian Cancer.

Thanksgiving for: Reg, Carla and Paul.

Continue to pray for: Deb, special friend with multiple Myeloma, Isaias (family safety & his mission work in Philippines); Adrian with significant life changes. God’s grace on USA. Wisdom for doctors caring for Doris, David, Poetry and Gary. Michael (his mum grows more frail); Randy (unexpected changes in his life). For Kevin (wisdom with his son).
