"And when Esau was forty
years old he married Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the
daughter of Elon the Hittite; and they brought grief to Isaac and
Rebekah." Genesis 26:34-35
The
conflict comes from Jacob persisting in his hope that his first-born WILL
inherit the blessing of the Lord, so he compromised to please his son and the
price was grief.
Take
care with love, especially His! Your
servant and friend in Christ, Darlene

ANY PRAYER UPDATES TODAY? Please send
updates! For any of you who wonder if
prayer is worth taking time for, just page back through previous entries and
see the hand of our loving Father in action!
URGENT
PRAYER REQUEST: Please pray for Adrian, his physical pain is so
difficult now. He needs the arms of the
Lord surrounding him with warmth and love.
His isolation is difficult as he begins a 4-6 week journey, as they kill
his immune system and replace his T-cells in the hope of stopping this cancer. He'll be in isolation in Royal Brisbane Hospital.
If you can help by sending him an email or card and perhaps paying him a visit (in
a couple of weeks - he is too ill for visitors presently), please contact
me. PB
needs a heart-kidney transplant and is waiting in the hospital now.
NEW
PRAYER REQUESTS: Please pray for Tarrega who is in the hospital
having heart proceedures. Please pray
for John, Patti's husband how
has had his second knee surgery and is not progressing well. He needs to manage his health now to prevent
blood clots and infections.
Deepak:(who still needs our prayers
for his situation) asks that we please pray for Melanie Karunaratne, a young mother with two little boys. She's in the hospital with cancer. Raven - in hospital. Has had surgery and begins chemo and
radiation. Remember Daniel Craver, now 4 years old (we prayed as he had a liver
transplant last summer). It seems his
body is rejecting the transplant.
Pray
for Paul R, that his present
challenges will work out and that he would grow his time management
skills. Pray for Milo as he studies in Germany till February and for his mom,
Sabine that she will adjust
to this time apart.
PRAISE & THANKSGIVING: Betinna’s
husband, Jim (with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia) got to go out for the
first time on Monday, his birthday!
Please thank everyone again, for their prayers. She sent this message today for Adrian: "Jim and I can send an encouraging
email. We know that God is God and that
He has Adrian in His hands."
Isaias and his wife Judith need prayers for their
ministries in Mindanao, Philippines from 31 July to 20 August, as they have a
very heavy teaching schedule during this time - guard their health and hearts. PNS
is finally recovering and has arrived, pray for him finding a job and
continued growing strength and bless him for his patience.

complicated health challenges. Tim (my little brother) with
CPRD, needs financial help and satisfying work.

horrible infections and pain in his bones.

ONGOING
JOB RELATED: Barbara (sister-in-law) has had a few very promising job
interviews. Pray the Lord has one of
these positions for her. Be with Hans as he struggles through changes
in his life – that he'll cling quietly to the Lord and that there will be an
unexpected, satisfying job in his chosen field for him. My project, actually the product and entire
department where I was working, has been dissolved. Please pray for the wisdom of my next steps.

dramatically apparent in the lives of all
who receive and read this devotion...that His mighty works would be
worked out in each life for His purposes in surprising and wonderful ways!
