Prayer Chain, link 29

Nina's mother-in-law, Merci, had surgery today for stomach cancer.

Dan's been feeling down today.

I also have a non-gather friend in Massachussetts who desperately needs a new start. Please keep him in your prayers.

7 important rules for visiting the sick by Don M.

I'm working on it, y'all... didn't want you to think you were forgotten. You're not. You NEVER are. I'm not going to get this done properly today. Please forgive me... I will attempt to do better from now on.

This has become a priority.

We begin our permanent prayer requests each day with prayers for our troops, ALL governments and leaders around the world WHETHER WE LIKE OR BELIEVE IN THEM OR NOT. It is right and proper to pray for their safety, enlightenment and wisdom... as well as to pray for their souls. Also pray for all of our countries and their people: born and unborn.

Please 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, woman or child 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 destroy ourselves by our limiting beliefs. Instead of trying to prevent overpopulation by 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 do my best to find prayer requests here on gather that have not yet been added to the chain: you can help 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:
