Prayer Chain, link 12

Renee has urgently requested prayer. 

Also, please pray for Diane, who is in a lot of pain.

In the book of Psalms, chapter 118, verse 24 it says: "This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." I think it's important to add this to our prayers as a constant reminder. It's actually a great chapter, if you have five minutes to read it.

Please also continue to lift up in prayer all those from previous links. Even those whose prayers may have been answered... and pray for each other as well. Including those who don't request prayer but may nonetheless need it.

The lastest requests I receive via email etc. will be added at the TOP of the article as I receive them, until the next link is posted. Usually a few days. The Praise Reports will be published monthly for now, more often if I start getting a lot of them.

The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh links of the prayer chain are all still valid, as are the links spidering off from them. I must change this to a directory table soon, (not sure when!) as the number of links is growing and will continue to do so.

We begin our permanent prayer requests with prayers for our troops, governments and leaders WHETHER WE LIKE OR BELIEVE IN THEM OR NOT. It is right and proper to pray for them to be safe, enlightened and wise... as well as to pray for their souls. Also pray for our countries and their people.

As often as I can I will find some of the prayer requests here on gather that have not yet been added to the chain, but you can help, if you are less harried than I, by searching for and adding these yourselves. If you have a prayer chain or list, I would be honored if you'd link to this one. Please don't forget Heather's daily prayer list! She gives us a beautiful prayer each day.
