“Don’t worry about anything;

instead pray about everything;

tell God your needs and don’t forget to thank him for his answers.

If you do this, you will experience God’s peace,

which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.”

~Philippians 4:6-7 LB~

Ora Lee Wilson is doing well following her hand surgery.  She said she is expecting a major improvement in the use of her right hand.  She already on the path to much improved use of the hand.  Thank God for carrying her through this time.

Ora Lee reported that her brother-in-law and sister-in-law are both in need of our prayers.  She said they and their families continue to struggle with sufficient care and setbacks.

Today, please look on Facebook for “Prayers of Eli”.  Then, take some time to specifically pray for him and for other children who are very sick.

Missions – I’m happy to report that Susan has now made 1460 gowns for hospitalized children.  She has done all this sewing by herself!  Don’t forget the basket at FBC, Kentwood where you can contribute to help her.  Thanks to all who have already done so.

Thursday Addition

Robby Lynn Callihan Kirby will have major surgery on May 28th at Baptist Hospital in Jackson, MS to remove a malignant tumor on the tail of her pancreas.  About half of her pancreas and the spleen will be removed.  The tumor should be completely gone, so no chemotherapy will be needed.  Pray for Robbie Lynn and for her family as she undergoes yet another surgery for yet another problem.  Pray for peace and comfort for all before, during, and after this surgery.

Thursday

“LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble;

You will strengthen their hearts.

You will listen carefully.”

~Psalm 10:17~

Pray for the world situation, especially our country.  Pray for politicians, voters, old, young, black, while, rich, poor, Christians, and unchristians.  Pray God will use all to make a better world for us all and to bring those who don’t know the Lord to sit at his table.

Pray for victims to man-made and natural disasters.  May we all do our best to keep ourselves and others stay safe.  Especially pray for the people of Texas who have faced the latest natural disaster.  May our disaster relief people be there to help them with meals, clean clothes, rebuilding, but mainly with their spiritual needs.

Mrs. Seymour, mother of two of my former students, Karen Joanne, and Becky, passed away last night.  Many of you may remember her as co-owner of a store of highway 16 between I-55 and highway 51.

I went to bed last night praying for the Jones family.  Read the latest posts and hear the heart of Gavin Jones.  Pray for peace for his thoughts and energy to face each day.

As I ponder the good medical report I received Tuesday, I know all medical reports are not so positive.  Pray for each person visiting a doctor, because we never know when they might get a negative report.  Pray for those who will face that situation today.  Pray they will allow God to prepare their hearts for the near future and for eternity.  People in these situations are often very open to hearing God’s Word through us.  Take time to visit, call, pray, share a Scripture, etc. to help make their day a little lighter and their eternity much brighter.
