Prayer Chain, link 20

Mary has asked that we keep her family in prayer. Robin had a job interview today and Steve underwent surgery today. Linda's son had a swollen leg this morning. My friend Cathy who's hoping to get the job she's been interviewing for, has other issues as well and has asked for continued prayer. Another friend, Erin asked to be added to the chain, too.

Short and sweet, here is the Bible verse I was led to share with you today:

Ephesians 4:1 (Whole Chapter)
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called

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.

I found some of the prayer requests here on gather that have not yet been added to the chain yesterday: you can help, if you are less harried than I, by searching for and adding these yourselves throughout each day. 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 daily link is posted. The Praise Reports will be published monthly for the time being, until I start getting more 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:
