Whatever FOR!?


“Now He said to them, ‘These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.’ 

“Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and He said to them, ‘Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and rise again from the dead the third day; and that repentance for forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.  You are witnesses of these things.’” Luke 24:44-48

God had a plan and a purpose for our lives from Creation.  Just read Psalm 139 for a reminder.  And His plan was painful, but purposeful for our good. 

Take care with love, especially His!  Your servant and friend in Christ, who still prays for you each morning.  Darlene

NEW PRAYER REQUESTS
·        Pray for any new strangers in your church – Easter brings individuals into the church who need a warm and encouraging welcome.  Please pray for courage and love.
·        USA – that the Lord would demonstrate His power in an unexpected and uniting way during these times of unrest and confusion.  Help hearts settle and rest in Him alone.
·        Sergio – lost his job and is now looking again.  He was recently diagnosed with adult-onset diabetes.  Was living with his brother, but has been asked to move out, leaving him homeless.  
·        Toron – finishing his high school studies needs your prayers for continued strength, focus and confidence, especially with maths.
·        UPDATE - Len Carbone (58 years old).  Pray he wakes to the message of the Cross and the compassionate love of Jesus.  Had brain tumour surgery (2002) on disability since.  He has very few friends (it is difficult for people to care for him because of the effects from his condition). Has lost both parents who provided support.  Has two older brothers and a granddaughter (Callilah) who no longer want to visit him. All he has left is an empty house (in bad repair), a car and cell phone -- no Internet or TV. 

PRAY FOR THOSE IN FULL-TIME SERVICE
