Prayer Requests and Praises

01/09/2021

Philippians 4:6-7

“Be not anxious for nothing, but in prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

PRAISES

Despite the challenges, we face every day, God has been good to us and kept us safe and sound thus far. We are grateful to be able to worship together as a church family while taking precautions such as wearing masks, avoiding hugs and hand shaking for now.

Praise the Lord for the Sabbath message by our Pastor Jeff Donaldson – “Love Your Enemies”, Matthew 5:43-48. When we let Jesus fill us with His agape love, then we shall be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect. The message is available on church website as well as on church Facebook.

Praise the Lord for each of His mercies and His goodness endures forever.

Ann praises God that her cousin Vander Lee is out of his coma and relatives are moving him from Missouri to Virginia.

Please take time from your busy schedule to mention these prayer requests during your personal prayer time. Use the bulletin insert given earlier to write the names of people you are praying for and place the list in your Bible. This will give you the opportunity to pray for these names every time you open your Bible or during your devotional time. Be sure to thank God for answering prayers.

Please feel free to let Pastor Jeff, Elder Said Leon, or Ann know of your prayer requests.

Sometimes when pain and suffering enter our lives, we lose hope for a little while and wonder if God cares. Remember he has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. Rest and heal in His presence for He is upholding you with His righteous hands.

May God continue to bless you! Have a joyous and safe week.

Ann

“The greatest want of the world is the want for men – men who will not be bought or sold; men who in their inmost souls are true and honest; men who do not fear to call sin by its right name; men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole; men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.” – E G. White
