“Now
the word of the Lord came to me saying, ‘Son of man, set your face toward
Teman, and speak out against the south, and prophesy against the forest land of
the Negev, and say to the forest of the Negev, ‘Hear the word of the Lord:
“thus
says the Lord God, ‘Behold, I am about to kindle a fire in you, and it shall consume every green tree
in you, as well as every dry tree; the blazing flame will not be quenched, and
the whole surface from south to north will be burned by it. And all flesh will see that I, the Lord, have
kindled it; it shall not be quenched.’
Then I said, ‘Ah Lord God! They
are saying of me, ‘Is he not just speaking parables?’’” Ezekiel
20:45-49
God
always has a plan, even in what seems to be a disaster beyond imagination. That plan is always for our good and His
glory. Sometimes, dramatic events are
considered just news worth, when we know that God is orchestrating a part of
His mysterious plan for all.
Take
care with love, especially His! Your
servant and friend in Christ, who still prays for you each morning. Darlene

NEW PRAYER REQUESTS and some UPDATES too!
- USA – that the Lord would
demonstrate His power in unexpected and uniting ways during these times of
unrest and confusion. Help hearts
settle and rest in Him alone. Let
the truth of God’s Word and ways overcome the drive to destroy our
founding, Bible-based values.
- California
Wildfires – so much destruction has happened through these fires.
- Yalawe – no
update. He had his surgery (cancer)
on 15 October. Please pray for his
full recovery and that his health providers and family would be extra
gentle with him.
- SJ –
as he struggles with circumstances he did not anticipate. Pray for his willingness, for wisdom of
his counsellors as he wanders through this dark time. Pray for his ability to rest and forgive himself.
- Annette and Lyle – Pray for travelling mercies as they begin the next phase of their
wonderful lives together and for good health and a love that continues to
bind them and their family together.
- UPDATE - Patti –
faithful daughter of Doris, wife of John.
A Proverbs 31 woman, who need strength, energy and the ability to
prioritise with grace and resolve.
Pray she will grow in confidence to say ‘no’ sometimes and enjoy a
new season of serving her husband.
- Terri – her relationship of 13 years has just broken and she needs prayers
to travel through this journey.
- Tracey – Pray Tracey finds a new role that will satisfy her and allow her to
grow and share her skills and wisdom.
- Me – Please continue to pray for me as I lead the
Thursday Bible study at work. Pray
for my humility and wisdom to share the Word for His glory. I will be putting the weekly series on
the EspeciallyHis blog site as a
resource for others.
