“Be gracious to me, O God, according to Thy
lovingkindness; according to the greatness of Thy compassion blot out my
transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from
my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, and
done what is evil in Thy sight, so that Thou art justified when Thou dost
speak, and blameless when Thou dost judge.
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast
spirit within me. Do not cast me away
from Thy presence, and do not take Thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, and
sustain me with a willing spirit. Then I
will teach transgressors Thy ways, and sinners will be converted to Thee.
“Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thy God of my
salvation; then my tongue will joyfully sing of Thy righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, that my mouth man declare
Thy praise. For Thou dost not delight in
sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; Thou art not pleased with burnt
offering. The sacrifices of God are a
broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, Thou will not despise.” Psalm
51:10-17
Once you were lost. Then
you were saved. Remember the day? What a day it was! That is what being a baby Christian is about –
that amazing day when you surrendered all, confessed what you could and fell
into the strong, warm arms of your Abba Father for all eternity
Take care, your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene (who
still prays for you each morning).

loved ones. Pray they are wise, patient

Doris
(my second mom) – celebrated her 101st birthday 22 December 2019, is suffering
from lack of visitors and has fallen twice, hitting her head. She is not eating well and is being carefully
watched but doesn’t understand why no one is visiting her. Thank the Lord for Patti, (daughter), and her husband John for their faithful support by daily
face-time calls with her.

Baby

back to full health for her after meningitis and kidney
failure. Decision on whether she will keep her leg still not
made. Parents so grateful to all for the love and prayers.

him. Please pray he finds a GOOD job soon. So many challenges for him to provide for his
sweet family of new wife and two children.
Help him trust in the wisdom of our loving Heavenly Father so he knows
God is working in all this for the best outcome for them all.

Pray Freddy, Doris’ son, now
in his third marriage, does more to help while she is still here and that he
reaches out to his Father in heaven for guidance and hope.

Penne
– just
lost her husband of 43 years after being his total caregiver for the last 10
years. She suffers mental problems,
stemming from a childhood experience and has reached out to Patti (pray for her
wisdom and patience), but seems unstable and confused. She has ‘disowned’ all her family, and
although a believer does not attend fellowship for support. Please pray for peace and God’s guidance for
her that her faith may be invigorated once more.

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.
·
Fred
– is
making plans to move from California to Tennessee in the Fall of
2020. Pray for his wise attention to detail, stamina and roaring
good health as he makes these life changes.

Me – my laptop was
not fixed and I am back to using the old one, sorry for the inconvenience and
formatting of the devotions in your email versions.
NEW Prayer Updates
- ·
Sarah – had run away from home. Police returned her home, put her in
treatment and she is now with her parents.
She is not happy being there and watches every move her mother makes to
escape again. Very stressful during this
time of ‘sheltering in place’. They hope
she will find a job when possible. Thank
you for praying and that she is finally home, getting help and support.
- · Julia – (Patti’s daughter) now teaching online so less stress. Adrian (9-year old) is on new medication that is finally working and Micah (6-year old with Type 1 diabetes) have been getting along well. Continue to pray for her strength, patience and resolute heart as she helps her children grow up.
- · Patti’s Best Friend – lost both her parents within six months after a lifetime of caring for them. Her husband’s mother died in January and his 94-year old father now lives with them. Help them take time for each other and keeping their faith strong.
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.
