Please pray for Crystal's mom, who is in the hospital. Also, Mark Lange, who has been suffering from pneumonia. My friend Cathy has also requested prayer regarding a career move she is attempting to make.
My chat article today is about The Serenity Prayer. While it does not come from the Bible, I think it is a very well-known comfort. Another well-known comfort, at least to me, is The 23rd Psalm:
1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Amen.
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.
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 previous links of the prayer chain are all still valid, as are the links spidering off from them. Here is the directory table of those links:
