“Forever, O Lord, Your Word is settled in heaven, standing firm and unchangeable.  Your faithfulness continues from generation to generation; You have established the earth, and it stands securely. 

 

“They continue this day according to Your ordinances, for all things, all parts of the universe are Your servants.  If Your law had not been my delight, then I would have perished in my time of trouble.  I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have revived me and given me life. 

 

“I am Yours, save me as your own; for I have diligently sought Your precepts and required them as my greatest need.  The wicked wait for me to destroy me, but I will consider Your testimonies. 

 

“I have seen that all human perfection has it limits, no matter how grand and perfect and noble; Your commandment is exceedingly broad and extends without limits into eternity.” Psalm 119:89-96

 

1.    Find an hour and place where you can focus on the Lord uninterrupted.

2.    Bring your Bible, your notebook, a writing implement and a refreshment.

3.    Settle your heart and pray that you will be open to God’s Word.

4.    Take time to listen to the video above and sing the words in your heart or out loud.

5.    Read the passage above and select another Psalm to read.

6.    Write how following His precepts in your life (to the best of your ability) has helped you through times of disappointment and concern.

 

Take care with love, especially His, Darlene (who still prays for you each day)

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.  And pray for Christ-centre, Bible-based revival in the USA and religious freedom for Christians wherever they may be.

·      Isaias and Judith (Ambassadors for Christ the Philippines) – the Philippines is a remarkably difficult mission field and Isaias, Judith and their entire family have maintained a teaching and discipling ministry there for dozens of years.  They are both facing serious health issues and need your fervent prayers, especially Judith right now, who is in much pain.  Please visit their new website:  https://afcph.org/ to learn more.  Pray our Father keep these servants strong and restores their health.  They need funds ($12,000 for the surgery) badly now.  Or take a moment to send encouragement to Isaias Catorce, who teaches and leads the groups at icatorce@gmail.com

·      Callilah – a lost child.  Pray the Lord will capture her heart. 

Pray for those in full-time service

Pray to uphold our Christian leaders – that they never compromise God’s Word, are bold and courageous in the face of evil.  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 with fragile health.  Pray God takes special care with them and protects them in practical ways and that the Lord will have mercy on them during this challenging time.

Pray for the World
