What should the next series be?

or search YouTube for Psalm 36 by Shift Worship
“Thy lovingkindness, O Lord, extends to the heavens, Thy
faithfulness reaches to the skies. Thy
righteousness is like the mountains of God; Thy judgments are like a great deep. O Lord, Thou preservest man and beast, how
precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God!
“And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy
wings. They drink their fill of the
abundance of Thy house; and Thou dost give them to drink of the river of Thy
delights. For with Thee is the fountain
of life; in Thy light we see light.
“And Thy righteousness to the upright in heart. Let not the foot of pride come upon me, and
let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
There the doers of iniquity have fallen’ they have been thrust down and
cannot rise.” Psalm 36:5-12
This week I’m praying about the next series and have two in
mind. If you would like to give me an
indication of your preference between the two, I would be ever so
grateful. Just send an email to me at darlenerichard@gmail.com
There are two topics I’m praying about (if you would like to
nominate another one other than these two, please feel free):
1. Cross
Referencing Jesus from the Gospels – all the Scriptures Jesus quoted from the
Old Testament
2. Conditions
to Biblical Promises and Why They Matter.
Take care with love, especially His, Darlene (who still
prays for you each day)

(where you will also find a series of beginner Bible studies to
share). You can easily find the WeakDay Devotion online by doing a Google
search for ‘WeakDay Devotion’. (Also,
there is an android ‘Google
Blogger’ app you can download to read them on your phone. Not sure about Apple.)
NEW PRAYER REQUESTS (any updates?)
· Tonga – volcanic explosion and tsunami – destroying one third of the island, unknown number
of deaths. The island is without water,
normal services, communication and further damages continuing. Please pray for those on the island and all
those rushing to aid those left behind.
· Christians in Afghanistan – Many Christians went to this country to
share the Good News to many who would never have heard of Jesus. These leaders and baby Christians are now in
heightened danger and need your prayers to protect them and sustain them during
this time.
·
Ray Jr. –Pray the Lord holds Ray Jr. (and his brothers) closely
as they deal with the practical matters after the loss of their father and
comfort their hearts.
·
Family of Eric – Eric at 52 died suddenly leaving his 47-year-old
wife and three girls (ages 16, 19 and 23).
Pray the Lord comforts the family through this time of mourning. Pray for their wisdom and that Go-d will send
trustworthy, honourable, Bible-based councilors for the many decisions that now
must be made.
·
Grant’s brother
- still has quite severe headaches. Had
a shunt put in his skull to drain fluid from around the brain, as the fluid was
putting pressure on the brain and affecting balance. Pray for his health carers
as they work to adjust the flow rate and help minimise the pressure.
· Peyton - eldest granddaughter of Jeff and
Rachael – now in her second year of college.
Please continue to pray for her that she does well, makes good decisions
and continues having a good relationship with the Lord.
·
Adam –
please pray for his strength and peace as he pursues new job possibilities and
that the Lord will guide him clearly in his decisions and to know without doubt
the depth of forgiveness; and that his wife will be the loving supporter he
badly needs.
· Barb – my brother’s
faithful and kind wife. Thank you for
praying for her. She needs prayers to
sustain her and protect her health and energy during this time of additional
stress and challenge at work.
·
Sophie – three-year old daughter of a friend. She is chronically unwell and frail. Please pray for her, her parents and health
carers to find ways to manage the symptoms and heal her.
·
Hans –
a dear friend in Germany, the cancer seems to be stable for now. Pray for his financial situation to improve
and for his ongoing strength through the pain when it comes. Pray for his patience and God’s mercy. Pray for his healthcare providers and that he
is surrounded by faithful and compassionate Christian friends who will support
him through this journey. Pray for his
Mom (age 84) who is also unwell -- that their time together is filled with
extraordinary good memories and lots of love.
·
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.
