There Is A God
“Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and
said, ‘Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Now gird up
your loins like a man, and I will ask you, and you instruct Me! Where were you when I laid the foundation of
the earth?
“’Tell Me, if you have understanding, who set its
measurements, since you know? Or who
stretched the line on it? On what were
its bases sunk? Or who laid its cornerstone,
when the morning stars sand together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?’”
Job 38:1-7
“Then Job answered the Lord, and said, ‘I know that Thou
canst do all things, and that no purpose of Thine can be thwarted. ‘Who is that that hides counsel without
knowledge?’ Therefore, I have declared
that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not
know.
“Hear, now, and I will speak; I will ask Thee, and do
Thou instruct me. I have heard of Thee
by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye sees Thee; therefore, I retract, and
I repent in dust and ashes.’” Job
42:1-6
Our individual disappoints are built upon our personal
perspective, for who can see all of time unfolded in a line other than our
Heavenly Father. With all His power, His
love and mercy are matched and demonstrated by His creativity to find a way to
provide a way for each of us to kneel at His throne and confess our
gratefulness for His patience.
Take care, your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene (who
prays for you each morning).

NEW PRAYER REQUESTS
·
USA –
Pray the Lord will 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. For Christ-centre, Bible-based revival in the
USA and religious freedom for Christians wherever they may be.
·
John McArthur –
is taking some time off to rest. God
seems to be using this crisis to focus on His Truth in an unexpected way. Please pray for Pastor McArthur and those who
support him and pray protection from all who would do him harm.
·
Bob –a
friend of my brother and sister-in-law who has just had a tragedy in his life. Pray the Lord uses these recent experiences
to help him realise his need for the Lord Jesus Christ.
·
Peyton
- eldest granddaughter of Jeff and Rachael.
Pray for this lovely woman of God as she goes off to college, that she
remains safe and strong in her beliefs and convictions and continues to
encourage many with her loving faithfulness to the Lord.
·
Tracey’s Mom –
home now. Her ability to think clearly
and care for herself is weakening. Pray
for a home health carer to be found and that her loved ones will make time to
help her through this time.
·
Tracey –
as she deals with the difficulties of her Mom growing less able to care for
herself. Pray Tracey will pace herself
and cherish every moment with her Mom.
·
Hans –
a dear friend in Germany, has stabilised.
His CT scan has shown no advancement of the cancer. He thanks you for your prayers and reports
that his left hand is also improving (it has been paralysed since this began). Please continuing to pray for his healthcare
providers, his patience and wisdom. Pray
he is surrounded by faithful and compassionate Christian friends who will
support him through this journey. Pray
for his Mom (age 83) is unwell herself, that their time together will be filled
with extraordinary good memories and lots of love.

USA President
Donald Trump – As Christians it
is our responsibility to pray for our leaders and trust 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 understand the true meaning of a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Pray they will both have an insatiable hunger to read God’s Word for
themselves. Pray God sends a
Bible-Believing Christian to regularly disciple them in the Truth. Pray God shuts the mouths of the false
prophets who regularly circle around them.
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.
