ALL I NEED


 “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.  He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.  He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.


“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. 

“Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows.  Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life.  And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23

The first passage I ever memorised when I got my first Bible at nine years old.  And what a perfect one to begin my walk toward the Cross with!

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

For more information, I’m researching and pulling an overview of this for you at:  https://newsaboutcovid19.blogspot.com/

Please pray for the health care workers, those trying to contain the spread and most importantly those who contract the virus – that they are wise and take precautions to protect others.

o    Today in 33 countries

o    11,569 critical condition
o    2,470 reported deaths (all in China except two in Iran, two in Japan, two on the cruise ship, one each in S. Korea, The Philippines, Hong Kong, Taiwan and France)

  • Scott is engaged to a wonderful Christian woman and they plan to get married in March.  Hopefully, she can help inspire him to seek the Lord once again.  Please continue to pray he seeks the Lord for himself and his children.
  • Baby Jolie 11 months old with meningitis and kidney failure.  Has been on dialysis and a respirator.  Her breathing tube now removed, and she is out of Intensive care.  However, they still MAY HAVE TO AMPUTATE her leg.  Please continue to pray her leg will be saved, her health carers to have wisdom and compassion, her parents to have patience and peace and that the Lord provides a miracle of healing for this child.  Family so grateful for all the prayers.
  • Savannah – 15-year-old granddaughter of Cliff and Beth, diagnosed with a difficult-to-treat, psychological disorder with potentially serious consequences.  New meds seem to be helping.  She has a long recovery ahead, but there is progress with this brain injury.  Pray for her attitude, wisdom for her health carers, patience for her parents and complete healing.
  • USA President Donald Trump – It is our responsibility as Christians to remember God has a plan through this man.  If you doubt the importance of his appointment, just look at how much antagonism there is against him.  Surely Satan is NOT happy and means to thwart God’s plan.  Pray someone helps President Trump understand the true meaning of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, that he will have a driving hunger to read God’s Word for himself and that God sends a Bible-believing Christian to regularly disciple him in the Truth and that God shuts the mouths of the false prophets who circle around him. 
  • Fredis making plans to move from California to Tennessee in the first quarter of 2020.  Pray for his wise attention to details and stamina as he makes this life change.
  • TraceyPray Tracey finds a new role to satisfy her and allow her to grow and share her skills and wisdom.
  • Me – The Lord has provided me with a short, 4-week project.  Thank you for praying.  Please pray He finds a way for my laptop to be fixed soon (if you receive the email version with the full prayer list, the formatting is different (sorry).

PRAY FOR THOSE IN FULL-TIME SERVICE
