I'm still here, somewhere...

It will soon be a month since my last post of prayer requests. I don't want anyone to think that we're just all kicked back, taking a month off! Actually, since mid-July, our requests for the New Day in Christ devotional calendar have increased fairly dramatically. At the same time, our regular work force has been cut in half by illnesses. So, instead of posting our prayer requests on-line, and other nice office stuff, I've been working hard pushing devotionals into envelopes, slapping on those mailing labels, and boxing them up to haul to the post office.

I give praise to our all-knowing God that the prayer requests sent in have been heard, even as they were first put into words. I give thanks for the sure knowledge that God provides for all of us in the manner most pleasing in his sight. We may be asking for relief from hard work, and God may instead provide endurance to stand the test. We may be asking for release from our bonds, and God may provide us with peace for living of each day. We may be asking God for all the answers, and God may be giving us the clarity of vision to see His way in due time.

Please lift up Karen in prayer. We are praying for her strength to return, for her doctors to be empowered by God to provide the means for her body to be healed from disease. We are praying that the fear in her heart will be replaced by faith that God will see to all her needs, and the needs of her family, during this difficult time.

And please lift a prayer for all the special requests received by this ministry. I hope soon to be able to post some of the prayer request received over the past weeks. But until then, know that there are many people who are in prison all across this state and this country who ask for your prayers. Remember them.
