“First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world.  For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the preaching for the gospel of His Son, is my witness as to how unceasingly I make mention of you, always in my prayers making request, if perhaps now at last by the will of God I may succeed in coming to you.” Romans 1:8-10

 

“Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may become accountable to God; because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law come the knowledge of sin.”  Romans 3:19-20

 

“For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.  For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare to even die, but God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”  Romans 5:6-8

 

“For the death that He died, He died to sin, once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.” Romans 6:10

 

“For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, ‘Abba!  Father!’” Romans 8:15

 

“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.  


"For whom He foreknew, He also destined to become conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren; and whom He predestined these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.” Romans 8:28-30

 

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” Romans 10:4

 

I am thankful today for the ability to see, to read, to think, to write … that God has given me the privilege to share and serve others with daily reminders that God is good, He is perfect, He is sovereign and His love reaches to the highest places. 

 

Take care, your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene (who prays for you each morning).

NEW PRAYER REQUESTS

·      Hans – a dear friend in Germany, with cancer has been having serious heart pain for the last two days.  His monthly immunotherapy was scheduled for tomorrow.  The doctor decided to try to manage the pain until he goes to the hospital tomorrow when they can investigate the source of his pain.  Please pray for strength through the pain and mercy.  Continue 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.

·      Isaias and Judith (Ambassadors for Christ the Philippines) – the Philippines has been devastated by constant batterings from typhoons.  Their ministry (New Website for information:  https://afcph.org/ ) faces so many challenges and now many of their leadership group and groups of believers have lost everything and their worship centres have been destroyed.  There is also a growing threat of China claiming their country.  Pray for those who lead, administer, work, teach and contribute to the ministry.  Pray our Father continues to keep these servants strong, in good health, safe and supported and that they keep a balance in their lives.  They need funds badly now.  Please pray for them.  Go to the website or send encouragement to Isaias Catorce at icatorce@gmail.com

·      My brother, Tim – just received a new bi-pap machine and already is seeing benefits.  Pray for his continued wisdom and patience in managing his COPD (chronic-obstructive pulmonary disease) and arthritis.  Pray his doctors are attentive, wise and compassionate.  Pray for Barb, his wife for her strength and compassion.  Continue to grow their faith so they can share Christ with others.

·      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.

·      J&R – recently had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with them and would appreciate prayers that God uses His words in their hearts to draw them to Him for Eternity!

·      Kevin and Sandy Currel - (in Melbourne) Kevin has a wonderful ministry in teaching through images and words and has created many Christian resources.  (To learn more:  https://www.kevincurrell.com/ ). He just had another procedure, which looks good and will have the results next week.  Please continue to pray for him, especially that God will supply the funds needed for this extraordinary time.

·      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 – slowly healing from a fall where she broke four ribs.  Pray she will be patient and that the pain will be easily managed.

·      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.

Pray for the World
