Weekly Prayer Requests/Praises

Anonymous:  I am praying for strength and guidance.  I pray that God gives me patience and motivation, the healing of my husband Isaiah C.  I pray that he shows me how to be a better wife and mother and strength in my marriage.

Manami K.:  Protection for my brother's baby till they get here.

Jordan F.:  This past week my ankles and heels have been hurting constantly especially my right heel which sometimes when I take a step feels like a knife is being driven into it.

Al R.:  Hours at job--no work since June.  Closer walk with God for my godson Tony.

Anonymous:  Praying for family members to be touched by the Holy Spirit--to hear wisdom and truth in this specific matter--Holy Spirit capture their hearts--may they hear from You and understand that this is God's perfect will.  Amen.

Kevin S.:  I lost my job on Friday, and pray for God to open doors to an opportunity that is better than my last job.


So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:


They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.


None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.


Romans 8:31-39
