Weekly Prayer Requests/Praises

Anonymous: Healing prayers for my precious sister-in-law who is in a fight for her life because of addiction -- Lord, the wounds are deep -- the generational iniquities are also there -- rescue her, Lord, from the depression, oppression, self-rejection, and self-hatred.  Your blood was shed for her.  May she accept that the curses have been broken in Jesus' name! And may she choose life now and forever more.  Amen.

A. Rucker:  My godson was made a cook at the drug rehab. Req: My godson to get closer to God.

Anonymous:  I pray for unity and healing in my circle of friends.  I ask you to pierce their hearts and crush the pride that keeps everyone fighting for position and not living in freedom and intimacy.

S. Heard:  Asking for and praising God in advance for what He has done in bringing  Milton through his first year of college with a strong testimony that wondrously glorifies God which He will use to encourage and strengthen others.  Asking for and praising God in advance for unseen but hoped for provisions for tuition, materials, transportation, and all those other things that He has known about from the beginning of Creation.  I thank God that He is God and I'm not, that He asks that trust Him, I rejoice in Him, do the next thing in doing my part, and ask Him for the things that I want because He has already provided for those things we need. Thank you.

11 As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you,
    I will free your prisoners from the waterless pit.
12 Return to your fortress, you prisoners of hope;
    even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.
13 I will bend Judah as I bend my bow
    and fill it with Ephraim.
I will rouse your sons, Zion,
    against your sons, Greece,
    and make you like a warrior’s sword.

14 Then the Lord will appear over them;
    his arrow will flash like lightning.
The Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet;
    he will march in the storms of the south,
15     and the Lord Almighty will shield them.
They will destroy
    and overcome with slingstones.
They will drink and roar as with wine;
    they will be full like a bowl
    used for sprinkling[c] the corners of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will save his people on that day
    as a shepherd saves his flock.
They will sparkle in his land
    like jewels in a crown.
17 How attractive and beautiful they will be!
    Grain will make the young men thrive,
    and new wine the young women.

Zechariah 9:11-17
