Each of us may be sure that if God sends us on stony paths He will provide us with strong shoes, and He will not send us out on any journey for which He does not equip us well. -Alexander MacLaren
We completed the church survey this past Sonday - it was an interesting experience, wasn’t it? Please pray that Father uses this survey as a tool to guide us in the direction He would have us go.
What a joy it was to run into Sharleen Ferree on Sonday. She looks GREAT! Her surgery went fine! Thank You, LORD, for Your grace on our sister!
Erik Hamilton, Pastor Gene Wright’s grandson, is back in Fallujah and will be headed back home on February 14th! What a valentine from Father God!
George Esparza will finally be going to a specialist in San Francisco on February 21st. Please keep our beloved brother in prayer.
Peggy Molander took a fall recently and broke her shoulder. She is in the health care center of San Joaquin Gardens.
Harley Sowell had heart by-pass surgery yesterday. Please pray that this warrior for God will shortly be restored back to full health.
Please pray for Nola Ambler, Judi Wright’s mom, who has been hospitalized with a foot infection.
We had been praying for Marty Clifton and his family. Marty was suffering from leukemia - but is suffering no more. He has gone home to be with Jesus and Jesus has wiped the tears from his face. Please pray for the family that he leaves behind.
So many parents on our prayer list from Sonday are praying for their children to come back to their faith - we should be in constant prayer for all of our children - the world looks so tempting to them.
We continue to pray for: Betty Arnold and family as they mourn the loss of Lula, Remo & Susan Paul and their pregnancy, Delaine’s friend at work, Lorraine Esparza’s daughter, Bianca & Stephanie, Kelli Hastings, Tony McDonald, Ellen Burton, my friend at juvenile hall, Walt Couch, Nancy Eland, and Michael Ferris.
Pray for our missionaries – Meghan Dineen in Mexico, Matthew, Lisa & Nathan in Jos Nigeria, Judy, Faye & Miisaw at the New Life Center in Thailand, Jan & Larry Martin in Thailand, The Reaching Hand Society in India, Yvonne Deel in Belize, Bounkham & Khamla’s mission to Laos, Gospel for Asia, Laurie Bethall in Prague, and all the missionaries worldwide.
Pray for our pastors our leadership, our ministries, and Father’s provision for His Church. Pray that we recognize opportunities to share our faith with others.
Pray for our country, her leadership and our military.
Father,
I have been so drawn to the vision that Isaiah had of You, high and lifted up, with the train of Your robe filling the throne room. The thought of seeing You like that makes me breathless. But what is even more astounding is that You, Great and Glorious God, looks down for me and pauses to hear my slightest whisper to You. Thank You for Your love for us. Thank You for Who You are, and for what You have done.
Holy Spirit, use this survey and this process to guide us in the way You would have us go. Our only desire is to follow You.
We lift up George to You and ask that You guide the specialists that he is going to see, be with Peggy as her shoulder heals, restore Harley to full health, Spirit of Life, and take away the foot infection from Nola. We pray in agreement for our beloved friends.
Jesus, our Savior, we cannot grieve for Marty, he is with You. He has joy beyond what we can even begin to imagine. We pray for his family that he left behind and ask that You comfort them in this time.
Good Shepherd, we pray for our children, we ask that You
We pray for our family and friends who remain on our prayer chain, Jehovah Jirah, and ask that You continue to provide for them.
With joy we sing out the names of Your missionaries, and thank You and praise You for them. Take care of them, LORD.
God of our Peace, we thank You so much for the pastors and leaders that you have brought to our fellowship. We ask that You continue to bless them. We lift up Faye Lowes before You, Abba, and thank You for the extraordinary servants heart that she has. Truly she is a woman after Your own heart.
El Elohim, sometimes You show us opportunities to share Your good news and we act clueless. Forgive us when we have failed to tell others about us. Help us to recognize opportunities.
Bless our country, God of the Angel Armies, bless her leadership and bless the military that serve us around the world.
Holy, Holy, Holy, LORD God Almighty, which was and is and is to come! As I type these words of praise that my heart is shouting out to You, I am aware that in Your throne room the Seraphim and the Cherubim are also singing these words. How awesome!
