Prayer & Praise
There is a long list of threats around us: terror, cancer, falling markets, killing, others unlike us in all their variety, loneliness, shame, death-the the list goes on and we know it well.
And in the midst of threat of every kind, you appear among us in your full power, in your deep fidelity, in your amazing compassion.
You speak among us the one word that could matter: “Do not fear.”
And we, in our several fearfulnesses, are jarred by your utterance. On a good day, we know that your sovereign word is true.
So give us good days by your rule, free enough to rejoice, open enough to change, trusting enough to move out of new obedience, grace enough to he forgiven and then to forgive.
We live by your word. Speak it to us through the night, that we may have many good days through your gift.
Walter Brueggemann. Prayers for a Privileged People (p. 83). Kindle Edition.

amen, to each thoughtful, reverent prayer of dusty’s that i’ve read here this morning… Lord, have mercy indeed… we are a sinful people in a fallen world of confusion and rebellion and yet we CAN see Your beauty and Your plan and promised outcome… the Kingdom, the power and the glory… they’re all yours Father, Son and Holy Spirit – God above all gods – Thy Kingdom come … amen

Linnea, I know you have another request, but for the life of me I can’t find it…. Im so sorry!
dusty…I hope you feel better! To be honest, I don’t know what else I asked for prayer for, but in the last week, family relationships have crumbled. My prayer is that God can make something beautiful of the rubble…
Thank you, dusty, for your faithfulness.

love you ladies!
I’m taking mom to a cardiologist today. Her dementia is about the same as far as memory goes but she has some real tough physical issues. My sister has decided she doesn’t want to go so I’m gonna face what seems to be a decision to place stents in her legs due to no circulation. I’ve learned there can be real risks due to my moms frailty. I’m also working on figuring out her finances. Please pray I make good decisions as mom’s not aware of much of anything. Thank you.
With you in prayer Ebrother!! Not an easy task for you I know.
reading thru this thread and joining in prayer again
one can only do the best one can – and pray, because ultimately it is all in God’s wise and gracious hands, eh?
ERunner, are you home yet? how did things go? and for you how did things go? Buster says he is with you in prayer as well.
Lord we know our bodies are not our own. Our souls are not our own. They are Yours, to do with as You see fit. But I ask that You have mercy on those who have requests here. Healing is what they are seeking. From illness and pain. we walk boldly before Your throne and lay humbly at Your feet begging for mercy, mercy please Lord remember Your mercy.
Be with Ebrother as he is with his mother. This is no easy task for him as You know. Keep his anxiety and his agoraphobia at bay as he is there. Be with his mother as she has surgery and keep her mind alert. Father be with them today!!!!
Father take control of Linnea’s family as it seems to be in chaos. Be the whisper in Linnea’s ear that calms her spirit when things get crazy. We ask for healing of mind, body and soul of her sister. Guide the doctors in her treatments. Wrap Linnea in Your warm embrace and give her the strength to be Your ambassador. .
Thank You for David H’s healing and his contributions here. Thank You that he found our corner of the web and stuck around. Continue to bless he and his family.
ERunner- I hope things went well today and that the Lord makes clear the decisions regarding your Mother’s health and finances. Praying for you and your family in the midst of this.
dusty..thank you so much!
Bring healing to Disillusioned, Luisa, and the least of these. Help them see past their pain, past what the enemy wants to steal from them and to see what lay ahead with You Lord. The mighty plans You have for each of them. They each seem so bright and intelligent that I know You have something big in store for them. Hold them in Your mighty hand and guide them to the Truth. The real You. Erase the god they have been taught and show them the Ever Lasting God the True God. The Loving God. The God who loves them so very much.
Praying for MK and the loss of her mother. Give her special blessings as this is a difficult thing. be her Rock her strong tower. Help her remember funny memories and to be able to smile at them. Hold her when she cries and when she can’t stand.
I took my mom to the cardiologist and he said her echo-cardiogram went well. When I asked him why she can’t breathe in the cold or why she can’t breathe in the shower he said he had no idea why. Even though there’s no circulation in her legs he’s happy as she can do some exercise at nifty after fifty.
Every other question I asked as far as if she could hold up for certain procedures he said to ask another doctor. He wants to see her again in four months.
My sister dropped the f bomb on me before my mom and I left which isn’t surprising. She has her own ideas and they don’t align with what I believe is best for mom. My sister has real issues and she’s the one living with mom. That’s difficult as she’s destitute with no money and no assistance coming in. She needs prayer.
I’m still gathering information on her finances.
I’m doing okay but this situation with my sister is a mess. She’s really torn the family apart and seems oblivious to it. I’m wanting to do the best for mom and do not want to make things worse in any way.
Oh yeah been passing a few kidney stones the last few days and have a renal ultrasound tomorrow! 🙂
Thank you Dusty and Linnea for your prayers. God bless you.
Today my wife put in for a four month leave from work due to her R.A. She’s pushed for forty years with R.A. but her body needs a lot of attention. It’s amazing what she has pushed through but for her to do this has hit her harder than the illness itself.
I now know my mom’s financial status and for right now things are quiet. She needs to be out of the cold as it just overwhelms her.
Thanks again for your prayers. Allan
Erunner – my prayers continue for you and yours.
Dusty – thank you for your prayer @ 39. My mom’s memorial service was a few days ago Tuesday. The service was absolutely beautiful – many friends showed up and the priest noted that my mom was a beatitudes woman and she exemplified the fruits of the spirit. He thought her most powerful quality was her gentleness. The gospel message was preached and my family and we were blessed by it.
I’m doing well – I’m truly at peace and feel strong (spiritually); however, physically, my body feels wiped out. When I look back at the past month since early December, I can see why – flying back and forth three times, sleeping at times at the hospital, not eating well nor staying hydrated, and the worry I carried seeing my mom’s decline — all add up at some point. The past two days I feel like I’ve been hit by a freight train! All in all though, I am moving through the grief and expect the days and months ahead to experience a variety of emotions as I move through this process.
Thank you all for your prayers – I am thankful for this community of believers. 🙂 You guys and gals are amazing!
