Prayers and Promises Week #43

This week's verse is Psalm 103:2, 3--
"Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits--
who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases."

Here are some prayer requests I would like to share with you:

~ I saw on Facebook on Friday a prayer request and want to ask you to pray for this family. I was in choir with these sisters (one was a couple years younger and the other a few years older than me). One of the girls said her Mom's cancer had spread to her brain, a tumor burst in her brain and she has a brain bleed. She was care flighted to Lubbock and a recent post said the doctors gave her a few days to live. This family has been on my heart, and I ask you to pray for them to be comforted at this difficult time as well as for those caring for their Mom, Joyce.

~ Another Facebook prayer request! Many of you probably know Michele-- she said their heater went out and the repairman is coming Tuesday, they have a space heater to use till then. Where she lives it's already in the 30s/40s at night, so pray for it not to be too cold and also for the repair not to be expensive.

~ Denise (Shortybear).

~ Still waiting on our new house. We have the duplex pretty much packed up besides a few things we are using in the kitchen and bathroom. We are just waiting now. To be honest we can't see with our eyes how this is going to work, but we are praying we could close somehow this week....that is really what we want to happen and feel like needs to happen for my husband to start his new position on November 1. It is going to have to be God for it to all come together this week though; we can't do it ourselves obviously. We had things planned how we thought they would work for the move, and it hasn't gone like that. I read in a devotional book today about the man who asked for his son to be healed of the evil spirit (Mark 9:14-32). The dad said to Jesus, "But if you can do anything...." I was reminded that our prayers to God about this do not need to be "if you can." We trust Him and seek His will in all of this.

Thank you for visiting. Visit others for Spiritual Sundays.

Have a day of blessings!

God answers prayer! I have posted my own praise report this week. How good is it for us to lift each other up through the ministry of our blogs. God is glorified. God is still on His throne.
