Psalm 139, Again
or search YouTube for Psalm
139
by Shane and Shane
You wrote the story of my life
You go before You fall behind,
Before a breath beyond my death
You are with me all the way to everlasting
Oh I can't run, I can't hide
Even darkness is a light
From the lowest place to the highest praise
You are worthy
Amazing love how can it be
Far too wonderful for me
There's only one thing left to say
You are worthy, oh!
Search me God and know my heart
Try me, know my anxious thoughts,
Find the weakness in me and lead me in the
way
Everlasting
You formed me in my mother’s womb
You know my frame, my flesh, and bone
Oh, how wonderfully made
Oh I can't describe it's way too hard
You see me through and through
and call me loved
What a wonderful grace, oh
Those of you who know me, know of my love for God’s
Word. The 139 Psalm, however, holds a
special place in how my life has been sustained throughout.
So this is an informal, WeakEnd
Assignment: find your Bible and read Psalm
139 through again this weekend and consider its personal message for you. Oh and I’ve found our next series, ‘Disappointment
With God’.
Take care, your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene (who
prays for you each morning).

USA President
Donald Trump – As Christians it
is our responsibility to pray for our leaders and know that God has a plan for
the USA through this man. If you doubt
the importance of his appointment, just look at the baseless antagonism against
him. Surely Satan is NOT happy and means to thwart God’s plan. Pray someone helps President Trump and Melania to understand the true meaning of a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and that they will both have a
insatiable hunger to read God’s Word for themselves – and that God sends a
Bible-Believing Christian to regularly disciple them in the Truth – and that
God shuts the mouths of the false prophets who regularly circle around them.

Fred I – planning a move from California to Tennessee in
the Fall of 2020 (if possible). Pray for

their faith strong.
Pray for those in full-time service
During this time, when the entire world is struggling to
understand this new ‘plague’, it is critical for us to uphold our Christian
leaders. They will be needed
everywhere. Pray for their wisdom,
safety, ingenuity, strength and for their families.
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 practical ways and most important we must pray even more for them that
the Lord will have mercy on them during this challenging time.
