"Sing to the Lord a
new song: Sing to the Lord, all the
earth, sing to the Lord, bless His name; proclaim good tidings of His salvation
from day to day. Tell of His glory among
the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples...
“For great is the Lord,
and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens. Splendour
and majesty are before Him, strength and beauty are in His sanctuary." Psalm 96:1-6
"And Jesus came up
and spoke to them saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on
earth.
“Go therefore and make
disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the
Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and
lo, I am with you always even to the end of the age.;'" Matthew
28:18-10
We sing because we know there
is a plan for each of us and for this world:
to know (not just know about) His love, grace, mercy, compassion and
justice. We sing because we know we have
something to do to ensure that plan flourishes.
Take care, your servant and
friend in Christ, Darlene (who still prays for you each morning).

NEW PRAYER REQUESTS and UPDATES
(NOTE: Words
underlined have a link embedded to provide more details)
To serve
you in a new way, I’m researching and writing practical information for you
about the pandemic. Please visit: https://newsaboutcovid19.blogspot.com/
Please pray for all involved, for health care
workers, those trying to contain the spread; for those contagious, for those who
contract the virus, for those feeling afraid and lonely and for the families
who have lost loved ones. Pray they are wise, patient and take
precautions to protect others.
· Today in 209 countries
· 2,399,840 reported cases
· 54,215 critical
condition
· 164,939 reported deaths
- Hans – was to have exploratory surgery for a mass discovered in his abdomen from a car crash he was in many years ago. Please pray for his healthcare providers and for his patience.
- USA President Donald Trump as he leads us through this pandemic – It is especially 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.
- Barry - took a serious fall in January, was hospitalised and has been recovering at home now. Please pray for his practical and financial needs to be met. He so loves the Lord!
- Fred – is making plans
to move from California to Tennessee in the first quarter of
2020. Pray for his wise attention to detail, stamina and roaring good health as he makes these life changes.
- Tracey – Thanks you for praying she found a wonderful new, permanent role.
PRAY FOR THOSE IN FULL-TIME SERVICE
During
this time, when the entire world is struggling to understand this ‘plague’, it
is critical that each of us upholds our Christian leaders. They will
be a very stretched resource for us all. Pray for their safety and
strength their families and most of all, their wisdom to pace themselves.
PRAY FOR THOSE WITH ONGOING HEALTH CONCERNS
Many of
us have family, friends and loved ones who are fragile
health-wise. It is important to protect them in wise and practical
ways and most important we must pray even more for them that the Lord will have
mercy on them during this challenging time.
