Please pray for Alie and the family of her dear friend. Also for the children mentioned in the article. My friend, whom I mentioned in this article, also needs our prayers, as does my friend Cathy who is in the final round of interviews to get a job she wants (and deserves to get) very much. I'm going to be hearing soon whether or not I get the job I've applied for, too...
Also, please pray for our friends in Pakistan.
In chatting on Yahoo Messenger this morning with a longtime friend in Pakistan, the dire plight of his country is brought to mind. I did not realize that part of the problem there is that there are three (or more) languages and no one "national" language. It's interesting because while English is our "national" language here in the States, it is becoming more and more necessary to be bi- or tri-lingual to get a job.
I believe the time has come to make the prayer chain a daily event. There is too much need to keep putting today's prayers on yesterday's list.
I have altered the permanent section at the end, so you may wish to re-read it if you've been skimming over it thinking it's still the same as it was.
The Bible passage I was led to share with you today is:
Revelation 6:4 (Whole Chapter)
And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
Take heed. In these times one can not afford to limit one's knowledge. Read, learn... and trust the Master.
We begin our permanent prayer requests with prayers for our troops, governments and leaders around the world 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: all of them, born and unborn.
Pray, too, for an end to ALL violence: true peace. REAL civilization. For as long as the barbarism of any killing is still tolerated, no man can truly rest assured. If we were to stop killing and focus on LIFE we could likely put an end to nearly all disease as well as explore the furthest reaches of the universe. We limit ourselves by our limiting beliefs. Instead of diminishing our numbers through slaughter we should be seeking extraterrestrial colonization possibilities. Yet if we do not curb our thirst for blood those exploits would also soon be doomed to extinction as well. Read Isaiah 65.
As often as I can, I find some of the prayer requests here on gather that have not yet been added to the chain: 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 ESPECIALLY gather members who have been missing for a while. Don't forget 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. Daily, from this point forward. 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:
