ABCOPAD Prayer Update
March 27, 2015

 

They cut the branches from the trees and strewed them in the way,
Because they knew their Lord and King would come along that day.

They sang Hosanna to the King and praised His holy name.
Now even in this modern day, we, too, should do the same.

The Christ who came that palm-strewn way to enter in the gate,
Will enter in your heart today, so do not make Him wait.

That palm-strewn path of long ago is still a victory sign
That Christ still comes along the way into Your heart and mine.
Raymond Orner

Please be in continued prayer for the Junior, Dani, and Gail and Bob Smith. There will be another trial for custody on Monday. We are asking God that He help everyone see the truth and understand how devastating this process is for Dani, especially. She needs prayers of protection as this has been very difficult on her.  Please be in prayer for Sarah. We are asking God that He deliver her from the lies she has believed and is attempting to share with Dani, and restore sound mind to her through His Holy Spirit. 

Jen's mom, Pam, is slowly declining. She is now in home hospice, and becoming more confused daily. Jen will meet with the hospice nurse today, and then return home for the weekend. We are asking God to heal Pam by peacefully bring her into His Kingdom. 

Father God-You are a God of mercy and of grace. We know You are powerful and rule in might. We pray O Lord that You would protect Dani during this difficult time. May angels guard her, and may she have her thoughts fixed on Your love. Bring truth into a complicated situation, drive Satan away and may Your Spirit bring people into the light and truth that needs to be seen. Uplift Junior, Gail, Bob and the rest of the family through this process, standing by them and upholding them in Your perfect peace. Bring that same peace to our family Lord, and may You bring Pam safely into Your Kingdom, and help us to be ministers of peace and blessing amidst this trying time. In Jesus' Name, AMEN.

Additional Update: I just wanted to give you an update on Jen's mom. We got a call this morning from Jen's dad that her mom is starting to decline more, and is losing the ability to do many things she was able to do even a few days ago. Jen is heading back down and will be staying indefinitely. 

Thanks for the prayers

Lord, we ask that Your peace rest upon us and that mercy and grace overwhelm us. Hold us in Your love. In Jesus' Name, AMEN.

Dear Dear, I'm writing to ask for prayers for my youngest daughter, Karen. She's waiting to see a neurologist because she's having symptoms of a serious disease. Please pray that she finds a doctor who will diagnose and treat her correctly and quickly. Your prayers would be very appreciated. Thanks for lifting our family up in prayer!

I have another request for prayers for George Yerges.  He has developed pneumonia.  And while you're at it, I'm recovering from surgery myself, so I would appreciate prayers.
