Conference yukon::christian_v7

Thanks, Mark

Gracious LORD, we lift up to You this fellowship.  Many of us have never 
met, and never will on this earth, but are united in You.  Some have yet to 
meet You....  Grant that this may be a place of peace, light, and love.  
Where You are seen, and not just the fallen face of mankind.

I lift to You the dear ones mentioned in note 6, who are in need of prayer 
just now.  Brian - we thank You that his condition is not as serious as was 
first thought, but we ask for Your continuing hand upon his body and his 
life, his family and marriage, his job - including the interview of Monday 
- and his move.  Be his peace throughout these things, and work Your 
sanctification within, dear LORD....

For the family Nancy brought before us, we pray my Father.  That You would 
meet them in this severe distress.  That You would be their comfort and 
peace; that You would protect them from vindictive hearts; that Your mercy 
would be shown in and through this family....  I pray also for the 
murderer, that his heart would know conviction and true repentance.

I bring Fran before You Holy LORD.  Thankk You for the recognition - the
diagnosis.  I ask for continued wisdom for the doctors in treatment, and
for opportunities for Fran to know Your loving mercy, even in this
outworking...

    RE: .397  My wife went through a period of adjustment when she stopped
    working to stay home with our children (she had always been in the
    workforce).  I told her that we are dependant upon one another and that
    when we stop being dependant upon each other, our marriage is in
    trouble.  It took a while, but she got over it, taking a part time job
    helped as well.  Our home life improved immensely with her being at
    home.
    
    
    Peace,
    
    
    Mike

    Steve,
    
    Thanks for entering that prayer request and the encouraging words.  I
    echo the need for prayer for our Brothers and Sisters who allow shame
    to outweigh forgiveness.  
    
    Your Sis,
    Nancy

	Praying with you, Steve.

	Karen

    Though this "split" format between requests and prayers is a little
    less conducive to a quick reply, I just want to assure those who have
    entered requests that I am praying.

    Mark L.

	Praying for Dave Floyd and his daughter, Toni Marie.

    Praying for Toni Marie as well.

    Re: 6.400  (another prayer snarf...)

Hi Chele ....

Praying for Peter and Judy and their daughters....  Also for Pam & Malcolm, 
in the distress of the situation for them all, that the LORD would bring 
His real healing to their hearts.  And for you, Chele, of course, that the 
LORD will give you the right words to share, bringing light and life to a 
dark situation.  Praising Him for the gleam of light reaching Pam and 
Malcolm.  He has to take us to the end of ourselves and our resources 
before we admit our need of Him...

Graham, may the LORD be your Healer truly and completely, filling your 
heart with an awareness of His loving care, and building up your physical 
resources with His joy...

Phil, praying for encouragement for Danielle, and strength for you, 
standing by her through this traumatic time.  Also, that the LORD would 
reveal His perfect plan to yuor hearts, as the new path opens up before 
you.


Thanks for the reminder, Steve .... I was speaking to someone the other
day, who was lacking assurance.  It leaves them prone to say almost
anything, losing their grip on the reality....  And we are all only 
supported by His grace.  

Dave, upholding Dave Floyd's daughter Toni Marie.  And for the family as
they watch and wait.  My heart aches for them.... 

Brian!  Good to see you here again, my friend.  Prayers continue over all 
aspects of your situation.

May God bless you each one, richly, from His bountiful storehouse of 
love...

								Andrew

	Praying for Danielle, and continuing in prayer for Brian.

Hi Nancy,

Praying for Louis' family, under the double stress they have received...

								Andrew

	Praying, Nancy!

    Praying for Dano and his family!  Hope you're reading Dan.
    
    Your Sis,
    Nancy

Thanks for the update, James ... Continuing to pray for Irena, Erik and
family....

For Dan and family, too, Jeff, over this move.  They can be a real strain...
May it be given to the LORD!

Chele ... continuing in prayer for Malcolm and Pam ... that they might have 
their treasure laid in heaven....

						God bless

    Hey all,
    
    Remembering Irena and Malcolm and Pam.
    
    Nancy

>    A good friend and dear brother in the Lord (Jim) has applied for a
>    position in the Electric Utilities division here in Colorado Springs. 
>    This position opened up when his supervisor retired and quite a few
>    people have applied for the position.  He has an interview tomorrow
>    (June 2) at 1:30.  Would you please pray that his interview would go
>    well and, if it be God's will, he be selected to fill this opening.

    I heard from Jim last night and he told me that God has chosen to keep
    this door closed.  Jim told me that he was angry at first but quickly
    changed his attitude about it and realized that it was not God's will
    for him to have this job.  He also stated that of the people who
    applied for the job, the one that was selected was the one he was
    hoping would get it (after him, of course).

    Jim said to thank all of you for your prayers.

    Ron

    It's funny, everytime I've looked negatively at a closed door, I've
    come to find out that the open door was the better option!
    
    Praying that your friend Jim finds his open door.
    
    Thanks for the update,
    Nancy

    Remembering Dan's reloc situation and Ann's uncle in prayer.
    
    (Ann, I moved your request to topic 6 with the prayer requests).
    
    Mark L.

Having been in a situation similar to Dan's at one time I am keeping he
and his family in prayer.  It is not a fun situation to say the least.

And, keeping Ann's family too.






Jim

Lifting up Dan and Ann's family.

    Praying for Dan, Anne's family, Fran, continuing to pray for Lisa's
    Uncle and cousin, Brian and Daryl G. as he moves on into what the Lord
    has for him.
    
    Nancy

Continuing to pray for Brian and family, in so many needs ...

For Louis' family, mourning, and with the extra stress...

For Dan Yackel and the family, in the move situation, waiting for huose 
sale and family reunion...

For Irena and Erik and family, for the LORD's arms around them continually....

For Malcolm and Pam...

For Ann's uncle and cousin, with cancer diagnosed....

My LORD, I bring each of these before You now.  The sick for Your health, 
the distressed for Your comfort, for those in the bondage of sin, for Your 
release.  And each, LORD, for the comfort and peace of Your presence, the 
assurance of that salvation which goes beyond mortality, to bring a 
contentment which goes beyond man's comprehension, to bring an awareness 
of eternal appetites and fulfillment.....

							In Jesus' Name

	Praying for the Yackel family, and for Brian, Robin, and their
	children.

	

    Hi Mike,
    
    No problem on that prayer request... Being a puppy, now dog owner, I
    understand.
    
    :-)
    Nancy

Mike, I can join you on that one.  Having taken pets on their last journey 
to the vet, tough enough on the kids once....


Also with you, Nancy on the prayers for TFSOs, you mentioned in 14.blur

My department gets to hear soon, I believe...

								Andrew

    Mike, 
     You are right, God does care about the "trivial" things, what a great
    God we serve!

    So sorry to hear of your family's troubles with cancer, Annie.  Will be
    keeping them in prayer.
    
    Having made a few moves in the past, I have a little bit of sense of
    what you must be going through Dan.  Thank God for His provision for
    both you and your family back in NE.
    
    Continuing to lift you up in prayer, Brian, as well as your family
    situation.
    
    Sorry if I've forgotten anyone else . . .will pray that the Lord
    ministers specifically to your needs.
    
    Love,
    
    -gret

Continuing to pray over the move and family bond, Dan....

For your friends, Jim, physical and spiritual needs there...

And for Malcolm and Pam, Chele (also you and David, in Greg's absence, as 
well as for Greg himself...)

								Andrew

Father, for Phil and Dani - 

         It is because of your great love for us that you have a wonderful, 
         purpose for each of our lives. Your eye remains constantly upon 
         us, and you do not allow anything to happen to us which is outside 
         of your Divine plan.
         
         It is also because of your love that you want us to enjoy every 
         part of our lives, living them to the full, giving you the glory 
         through doing this, and this includes our recreation. 
         
         Praise you that Phil, although falling like a wounded bird, was 
         not more seriously hurt, that your ministering angels as it were 
         broke his fall. Quicken now the healing process, give the medical 
         staff added wisdom from your heart, and may they be astounded at 
         what you will reveal about yourself through this episode.
         
         Minister also your great and loving comfort to Dani as she comes 
         to terms with a double dose of potentially bad and stressful news. 
         May she experience that deep sense of "peace which passes all 
         understanding"
         
         Amen

    
    Praying for all!  
    
    jeff

    Praying for Chele's friends, and for PDM (and Dani).

    AW geez Phil... sigh...
    
    Sorry, had to let out the emotion first... :-(
    
    Phil,
    
    If you are reading this... remember a dear Brother's wife who is
    similarly been unable to do the things she loves [for her family no
    less].  I told her that when I hurt my ankle and couldn't *do* for my
    children and I couldn't *go* anywhere... God used that time to speak
    to my heart, it was as though I audibly heard, "Be still, my child and
    know me."
    
    Maybe God wants your attention for a while.  I dunno... but I'm praying
    for you.
    
    In His Love,
    Nancy

Praying for Phil and Dani .... That they will be aware of His arms around 
them during the waiting / healing time, as they were clearly around Phil 
when the parachute was set aside...

Also for those being laid off about now, and for their families...


								Andrew

    Praying for PDM and his wife...thanks for letting us know, Mark.
    
    -greta

    I'm praying, too.

    
    Praying for Phil 
    
    

         Father I lift up my Christian brother who very shortly will be 
         involved in downsizing discussions concerning his group. May he be 
         given wisdom from you through the Spirit within his being. Fill 
         him also with peace, and remove any fear from his mind concerning 
         the uncertainty he faces over his own position.
         
         Amen

Anne, 

Remembering Uncle Elma, and Aunt Gert, in their health - and not being
allowed to drive... ! 


Paul,

Holding your parents before the LORD, especially your father's heavy
commitments and calls on his strength.... 

James,  

Remembering your sister before the LORD, that she will be able to join in
the rejoicing personally at your brother's wedding.

    Dave Johnson's job situation.
    
    Mark L.

	Praying for all...

	Karen

Hi Ron,

Praying for Carol and the family, over the MS situation as much as the 
broken leg...  May she know the LORD's presence close beside her throughout 
this time of trila.

Some 30+ years back my mother had MS, and went for a course of trying out
some then new treatment under test.  It was effective for her, with no side
effects, for which we were very grateful, but it was a very testing time
as you'll understand...

						God bless
							Andrew

 Praying for all..






Jim

    Praying...
    

    Praying for all...

 Praying, Brian...




Jim

    Praying for you Bro! :-)
    
    Nancy

	For Brian:

	Lord, be watchful over Brian tomorrow as he undergoes an angiogram.
	Bless the doctors with wisdom and guide their every movement.  Bless
	Brian with your peace, which surpasses all understanding.  I pray
	that your healing power be released upon his heart, that he may
	be free from blockage and from damage, and be restored fully
	and completely.  In the name of your son Jesus, I pray.  Amen

    Praying for you Brian, and for the technicians who will do the test,
    may their hands be steady, their minds clear and their decisions clear.
    
    Daryl

    Praying for you and Sandy, David. May God show you and Sandy what it is
    that you each need to come close to each other again and strengthen
    your love for each other and toward God.
    
    
     In Christ Jesus, Amen.

    Nancy

    Hi Phil,
    
    Will pray for Danielle... it's tough being at home when you've been in
    the work force... transitions can be painful.
    
    Nancy

    Praying for Danielle and your continued healing processes.

    Phil,
    
    I'm praying for Danielle, too.  Please remind her that she has my home
    phone number.  I would love to talk to her.

Praying for Danielle and Nancy

	re.433

	PDM,

	If it would be of any help to Danielle, my wife (Bobbi) also went
thru a similar experience having worked at DEC for over 16 years, etc. I'm
sure she would be willing to get with Danielle for prayer, or just to listen,
or share what she went through on phone or in person.

	Send me mail offline, if you feel you'd like to pursue it.

regards,

	Nancy,

I think I should have posted my note here instead of in 6. Could you move it

Nancy is in the midst of an office move. Another mod will have to do the work.

	Praying, Jim.

    Jim,

    Praying for you...

    Ron

My heart is with you all, reviewing requests from before I was on vacation, 
to rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep, knowing 
His loving arms surrounding all.

Particularly, Brian's domestic and work situation, and the move...

Rod N., as Chele told us of his departure...

Dave, though you won't read this ... your marital situation, and - we're 
going to miss you a lot, bro.  

Progress in healing for Carol's leg.

Cpmfort, direction and discernment for our sis Nancy... and especially for 
that deep peace in the heart which comes only from Himself...

For Danielle, Phil, that our dear LORD will delight her heart with a 
revelation of Himself which makes everything else a mere passing shadow; 
that she will be delighted to see herself as He ses her, enthroned beside 
Him...

Good to hear of potential progress, Jim.  Praying for more!  How did it go?

 								...Andrew

My gracious and so loving Father, thank You that we can bring all these
dear friends before You, and know that You can take our prayers and use
them to perfect us each one towards the time when time, for each of us
ceases; as we step into Your presence; when we can look back, and say
"Isn't He *wonderful*" - when  we know fully, as we are fully known; as we
see how tenderly and lovingly, yet effectively, You have been working in
and through each of us....  I bring before You the trials and tribulations
each has shared here, and ask for Your personal intervention, reaching into
our hearts and lives, that we may be made more like You here, and that the
enemy would be thrown back in disarray, as the glorious Name of Jesus is
lifted up on high.  Be blessing to our brother Dave, as he guards his use 
of working time, and in his life walking before You with his wife.  Be 
restoration to our brother Jim, in that marriage which crumbled, and thank 
You for signs of Your hand at work there in their children...  But 
especially that Jim's wife would be close to You...  I ask too, for Your 
protective healing for Brian's marriage, and protection for many many 
marriages under stress, that we may lift our eyes to You Who is our 
perfection, instead of feeling disappointment when we do not find it in 
each other.

LORD of Creation, delight us with Your restoration of perfect health to
dear ones in distress, whether it be physical attacks, or other ways on
which the enemy would seek to undermine our clarity of sight towards you... 
Carol, Brian, Mark's wife Joy, Phil's wife, Danielle, and so many others... 

My Father, be comfort to our sister Nancy, that in the burden she carries
for You she may be very aware that You are bearing the weight while she is
but the channel.  That she will know the way of blessing You have for her 
to move forward, and peace about the times of staying still...

LORD, You are such a delight to us!  The pain of parting, whether through 
physically moving on, or because one completes their mission for You here 
is an ache which cannot reach beyond time, because we know that what we all 
look forward to is that completion, when we all stand in your presence, for 
the fulfillment of eternity, whence there is no parting ever, at all.  Not 
only from each other, but not from You either.  To see You!!!! Whatever 
happens, nothing can take away that joy....

 						In Jesus' Name...

.Good to hear of potential progress, Jim.  Praying for more!  How did it go?

 
 Went pretty well, Andrew, thanks!  We had a nice dinner on my birthday 
 (lobster :-)  and a nice evening.  My oldest son and I had a nice chat 
 during which he indicated he'd love to have Dad home again.  My ex (Kathie)
 and I didn't have much chance to talk seriously that night, however, but it
 was a nice time.  

 I spent a few hours with her yesterday in between church services (I invited
 her to church but she declined) and we had a nice time, and then we had quite
 a chat on the phone last night about our relationship, the Lord, etc.  It
 was a good chat, and I think we are moving along nicely.  She said she wants
 to come to church next Sunday night :-) (she works Sunday morning) and we
 are going to go out one night this week.


 Prayers still graciously accepted.




Jim

    Amen!  Jim, that is really great progress.  I can't express the warmth
    in my heart as I read your note.  Prayers are abounding for you and
    Kathi.
    
    Nancy

Jim, 

That sounds wonderful.  Gently renewing friendship, with the LORD over it 
all...  Don't push too hard.  Doors open at the right time...  Continuing 
in prayer.

						hugs, bro

Phil, my brother.  Ever hear the chorus "Learning to Lean"?
I've become a stronger person by my reliance and dependence on God.

You got your request for prayer on my heart.

MM

 We sang the chorus to "Learning to Lean" Sunday night..



 Praying for you Phil...years ago I had a disk removed from my back..and
 about 6 weeks later I was splitting firewood and cutting down trees..not
 a good move...




Jim

    Sasha, Debbie's little one is in God's Hands but also in my prayers.
    
    PDM, I could say hey dummy didn't you listen to your wife? :-) :-) 
    But I won't because I know you'll throw something at me! %-}  Instead
    I'll just say thanks for asking and believing that we will pray.
    
    OTS, do you really take time to pray?  Sometimes I say I will but then
    I don't and I end up feeling rather guilty and praying after the
    fact... but praying nontheless.  
    
    If you were the only person to read this conference would the requests
    for prayer be trusted in your care?  May sound like a silly question,
    but I've asked myself this question as well.
    
    Nancy

Praising with you, Daryl, and praying for rapid and complete recovery...

Holding Debbie and the baby before the LORD, Sasha...


And Phil... These deep ones are liable to hit back unless they're given 
plenty of room...  But it's embarrassing, isn't it!  Holding you up for 
patience, as well as healing.  When actually He used it to give you an 
extra dose of humility!

							love you
								Andrew

Hi Phil,

It's okay to slow down a little bit when your body needs it ---
praying that all goes well, and that you're healing fine.

Leslie

    Holy Spirit, bring your comfort to Nancy. Lord thou art the same Lord
    whose protperty is to always have mercy. Let your mercy prevail over
    the head ache that our dear sister Nancy is feeling. Take this pain and
    discomfort from her as you see fit. Through this pain however, show
    Nancy the power of your love and the power of your Word.
    
    Amen.
    

My LORD, reach out those cool hands to soothe Nancy's brow, and grant her
refreshment of body and spirit.  Give her that precious moment of peace in
Your presence, which dispels all mortal considerations, and delight her
heart with the relief that only You can give, that she may return to the
fray, strengthened with Your strength...

								Amen

LORD of creation, Who gave mankind marriage in which to glorify You and
delight in how You have made him, I pray your blessing on the marriage of
Eli and Tere; that they would know You in the preparations, the ceremony,
and most of all, in the outworking of that relationship before You
throughout their lives together.  Delight their hearts with Your love, 
enjoyed together, with every joy enriched by knowing that You are the 
source, and every gift is given with them in Your mind...

Hi Chele,

I had Dewayne Geraghty in my prayers yesterday, but only got in here today.
Sorry.  Disorganised.  Especially as I'm cycling to work myself now! 

Greta!  

In one way, I'm sorry to hear your news, but in another .... the way the
LORD has been working and moving for you sounds wonderful.  Maybe here ...
Maybe not.  Will be praying...

Hi Jim,

Remembering Donald and Jeffery, and their need of awakening by the Holy 
Spirit, to conviction and salvation....  May God bless you with the 
opportunity of sharing with open hearts...

							Andrew

Jim, 

I'm finding it exciting to pray for you, with your reports of how the LORD 
is reaching through to Kathie and to Sean and his girlfriend...  Keep 'em 
coming, bro.  Much appreciated.

							Andrew

    Praying for you Jim.

    May you release the anger that you are feeling and give it over to the
    Lord.  May the Holy Spirit cause your son to discern what was said to
    him by your mother-in-law, consider the true source, and deal with it
    in an appropriate fashion.

    Ron

 Thanks...actually, its my step-mother that is causing the concern.





 Ji

Hi Lew,
Praying for your 'close fellowship' there ... and for the LORD to fit each 
one into their place in employment etc...

Jim,
Praying for a melting of your heart towards your step-mother.  And 
preservation of His word in Chris' heart.  He won't let it be wasted, but 
maybe has a place for it to reach in her heart also...

Nancy,
Prayers for Ed ... His health and the ministry, that the LORD would enrich
and preserve him through this time...  And for his brothers wife,  the 
biopsy results, the child to be born....

							Andrew

Father, be merciful to your servant, Ed. Rebuke the Devourer for Your Name's sake.
Glorify Yourself even more completely in his life, and restore health to his body.
Thank You, Father, for the priviledge of petitioning You in prayer, knowing that
You always hear us. In the Name of Y'shua Ha'Messiach, we ask Your mercy for Ed.

Amen.

    Father, have mercy on your faithful servant Ed.  Give his physicians
    the knowledge, clarity of thought, and guide their hands to give him
    the best care possible.  Pour down your blessings on him and those in
    his close circle of friends that they may be strengthened, encouraged
    and comforted during this season of their lives.  
    
    Amen.
     

Praying for the witnesses, and for the loved ones. For God so loved the 
world..

Praying for Nancy's ministry, and for children and parents.

    Praying for God's blessing upon this ministry, Nancy, and healing and 
    comfort for both parents and children. 
    
    Rebecca          

Praying for your mums, as well as your kids and the class, Nancy...  
						And your hunks too ;-)

								Andrew

Hi David, 

Praying for the LORD to reveal Himself to Bethaney as a God of love and
compassion, the God Who loves her enought to die for her, and Who longs to
welcome her into His arms, and that she may know the peace that passes all
understanding as she gazes into His face with infinite joy.... 

							Andrew

Praying for you and the class that you are going to teach Nancy.  I hope
that these women are able to change, to deal with the stress of their lives,
their frustrations, and disciplining their children without resorting to
physical abuse.  Praying for the relationships between parent & children to
heal, and that the children are able grow into emotionally and spiritually
healthy adults.  So many hurts and holes in the lives of so many people.
I pray that God's Spirit will dwell in you richly giving you wisdom and
compassion, turning your words into richness in the hearts and minds of those
who are in your class.

Leslie

    Praying for Roger. I suspect, with what little sight Roger has, he may
    have better 'vision' than those that have 20/20 eye sight.
    
    Lord, guide the doctor's hand that will perform the operation on Roger.
    Lord, thy will be done.
    
    PDM
    

 Praying for Roger and Danny and Kimber, and their baby.  And our
 medical community.  






 Jim

	Praying for Roger.  This touches close to my heart, having a
	husband who has been robbed of much of his sight (though we
	are firmly believing God for total restoration).
	May God be glorified through this procedure, and may Roger
	receive his healing.

	Praying also for Danny and Kimber.  God is the God of miracles.
	What is impossible with man is possible with God.

	Karen

Praying for Danny and Kimber....  My heart aches with them for that yearning 
for the little life growing, yet so limited.  Asking the LORD for a miracle 
of mercy here...

Praying with Gil for Roger, and that gleam of hope for his sight.... That 
the LORD would answer his hope with blessing.  And for the friend who heard 
of this possibility, that she will know the LORD's peace in being used as 
an instrument to point out this opportunity, and be ready to leave the 
outcome in His hands, trusting Him for the blessing...

How was 'in God's Image, with those dear ones, Nancy...?  And Ed?

The family you're involved with, Jim?

Each one, lifted before our gracious LORD today....

.The family you're involved with, Jim?




 The boy had the heart surgery last week and apparantly they didn't find
 what they had hoped to find.  They will be doing it again in another month
 or 2.  The family is faced with deciding whether or not to implant a pacemaker
 (depends on the outcome of the second round of [lazer] surgery) or continuing
 him on medication.

 Still a sticky situation.  




 Jim

    
    Greta will be keeping you in my prayers... Hope to see you sing
    sometime in the Fall.
    
    The Best to you,
    
    Ann

	Praying for your aunt, and for your mom in this situation.

	May the Lord be glorified through His healing work!

	Karen

 Praying, Sandy.






 Jim

    Dear Heavenly Father,
    
    This morning prayer has been requested for Mike's wife.  Father, I
    ask first that your will be done and that you may be glorified through
    this situation.  Father, I pray first for Mike, that your Holy Spirit
    would be evident in his life and that he may come to know you more
    intimately as he begins to trust in you for more.
    
    Father, for his wife, touch her body, cleanse it, if that be your will. 
    Give her the courage, strength and the comfort of your Holy Spirit. 
    Father, may this test be negative.  In Jesus Name, Amen.
    
    

My LORD, I bring before You my dear friends in need of prayer, and the 
requests their hearts have given to mine....

For Greta, and her job situation, that You would provide out of the 
abundance of Your mercy, not only for material provision, but the heart 
satisfaction of giving the best You have created her for...

For Jim's friend Roy, and his particular needs...

For Sandy's mother, in so many ways besides physical health...

For Mike and his wife, that they would know Your hand upon their lives, 
preserving for Your purposes and their delight...

For Graham, in human uncertainty, that he may know divine direction and 
confidence in Your plan for his life; that each step would be in Your 
hands....


						In Jesus' Name...

Praying for your bosses son, Karen.  That happened to our oldest many years 
back, and though there was no damage, it was rather nasty - and potentially 
very...

For Mark - and Terry - also...  bearing them up before the LORD for 
strength to know Him in the circumstances, and victory over the 
circumstances, changing them...

					In Jesus love

    Have your in-laws in my prayers Karen.

 Will pray for the safe return of the boys and comfort to their parents
 Bob.






Jim

    Will pray Bob.

Hi Bob,

...been praying for Ean and Scott...  And the family.

								Andrew

Hi Bob,

...and just seen the result!  Praise the LORD!
								Andrew

Not to be a wet blanket, but there must be some reason these boys were
determined to run away.  Perhaps we ought to continue praying for healing
in the family relationship between children and parents. __ Leslie

    This probably isn't the topic to discuss "the reason".. BUT, the reason
    the boys give is "to many rules"... The family is going to counciling.
    
    Thanks for your thoughts!
    
    
    Bob G.

Hi Bob,

My thought was not to discover what the reason was for myself or even discuss 
it, but rather, to point out that although the boys were home and safe, the 
family could still use our prayers. 

In Him who knows and loves us all,

Leslie

Okay, you answered my questions in another note Phil.  Praying for Dani,
her grandfather, and her horse.

Leslie

    Praying for your requests James.
    
    Nancy

Praying for Steve, James.  And for Trish.  And for the leaders of the 
Australian Digital Christian group....  And those so misguided as to fire 
off vindictive letters....

							Andrew

    Praying for your in-law Chele.
    
    

         In an effort to try to keep tabs on the requests posted here I 
         have decided to physically jot them down in my diary. Now, the 
         $64k question, can I keep it up?
         
         Chele - for your father-in-law, that perhaps through this 
                 experience he will realise in a fresh way the frailty of 
                 life, and will commit himself to God.
         
         Krysia - for Bob, that the tumor will have God's healing hand upon 
                  it to quicken the healing process/remove it completely
         
         James -  for your Father, that God will remove these cramps, and 
                  that he will recognise His hand upon his life. Also for 
                  safe (and worry-free) travelling for your mother.
         
         Paul

Taking in the prayer requests mentioned,and bringing them before our Father...

Chele, your father-in-law, asking that this check will stir his spiritual 
heart to greater depths, that he may be aware of the love of our LORD, in 
restoration...

Nancy, for Bob Matusiewicz, for the hand of the LORD upon him, to raise 
him up for His purposes...

James, "before they ask, I will answer" - as far as your father's
non-prayers go, and in accordance with Romans 5:8... Praying 'anyway', dear
bro...

Hi Marjie,

Praying for you to have peace and wisdom in these circumstances, and for the 
man concerned to have his attention turned aside from you, and awakened by 
the LORD....

    Tough situation Sis, am praying for you.  Do whatever it takes to
    protect yourself and your child.
    
    Nancy

	Praying, Marjie.

    Marjie, you got my prayer sis.
    
    Lord, bind the evil that befalls this child of yours. Restrain the Evil
    One that he can not harm Marjie or her child, Philip or friend, Renee.
    Lord, by the power of Christ, I ask for the protection and deliverance
    of Marjie, Philip and Renee from this derailed individual.
       In the Spirit of God, our comforter I make my petition known unto
    You. All power and majesty be thy name. Amen.

         Marjie -

 Will be praying, Phil...



 years ago we had a somewhat similar situation in our church. While she
 was not the child of an elder, a young woman went off to a Bible college
 and wound up pregnant.  Folks in the church, while not "celebrating" the
 event, were quite supportive of her.  Unfortunately her own family, who
 were not Christians, were not.  She lived with my wife and I immediately
 before the birth of her daughter, and for a few months after that.

 While it was difficult all around, the church folks were quite loving and
 supportive and I didn't hear much about gossipping, etc going on.




 Jim

PDM - praying for Kelly, and all who this distressing event will touch.  
Especially for healing of fellowship hearts and spirits through the 
confession and setting things straight before the LORD.

							Andrew

Hi Scott,

What a terrible situation!  Poor people, stepping ignorantly into such
destruction.  Sure, they need our prayers, and have been added to my list.
And for wisdom for you, to know what to say...

							Andrew

Praying for Lisa's finances...

And praising for Greta's job!!! - that's good news, Greta, and as Karen 
said - just when we happened to be praying, too ! ;-)

							Andrew

 Praying for -.1 and Bob's request for the Boy Scout troop..





 Jim

I feel very positive about the Boy Scouts and what they
do.  My Dad agreed to become the Scoutmaster of a troop
that my brother and I were in and Scouting was something
I really enjoyed.  I even pushed my older brother into
making Eagle (or be forever shamed that his younger
brother beat him to it :-) ).  I'll pray for your
church board.

Collis

         Collis,
         
         Have added Dave's name to the list.
         
         For those of us who don't know him, could you give a little more 
         background.
         
         Paul

David Stone was the VP in charge of Software here at
Digital when he left late last year to accept the Presidency
of a division at AT&T (Communications?).  He had been at
Digital for about 20 years, living in Switzerland when he
headed up something in Europe for 12 years.  He was one of
the few generally believed to have have a good shot at
replacing Ken Olsen as head of Digital.  (Bob Palmer and
the former head of Europe were the other two most commonly
mentioned.)  He is a Christian.  He currently lives in
New Jersey.  He's in his forties (I think).

Collis

    Will pray for David Stone, Collis.  May God be merciful to he and his
    family.

    Just yesterday I was thinking about David Stone and what his situation
    is.  Will keep him in my prayers.
    
    Over the weekend, someone was talking about how a Christian can face a
    difficult situation (terminal illness).  The answer was, to see it as
    God giving you the opportunity to be ready (many depart suddenly
    without any "warning").  I pray that David will be ready to meet the
    Lord with joy when the time of his departure comes.
    
    Mark L.

    Praying for David.  I had the good fortune to meet and spend some time
    with David when he was the Commencement Speaker for a Focused Technical
    College at which I was an instructor at Babson College.  He was a very
    bright, warm, friendly man.  Having had the experience, even though God
    gives us this warning, the loved ones that stay behind, must face the
    loneliness and I pray God will soothe and comfort them.
    
    In His Love,
    
    Daryl

Rejoicing with Greta again!, as I re-read and remember...  Thank You LORD!

Bob, how did it go with the boy scouts at the church advisory board ?

Collis, remembering David Stone also, and the family at this time of 
testing, that the LORD would lift their hearts and be a great strength to 
them.

Jim, Sue Dube is also on the prayer list.  Guess she should be out of
surgery now.  Prayers switch to comfort and peace in a swift recovery... 


							Andrew

    Andrew,

    Things went marvelously..!

        I received a phone call from the president of the church Advisory
        board. He informed me they have approved the sponsorship of the Boy
        Scout Troop. They also approved the sponsorship of a Cub Scout Pack
        (the 1st through 5th graders) which has now got to be started.

        Challenging work ahead, but I am extremely excited.!

        I'm dancing the jig, but you can't see that can you..!

        THANK YOU, THANK YOU,,!

        May God Bless..!

    Nancy

Hi Sandy, praying for the family, for Myrtle's children and grandchildren 
to find the Saviour.... And for Muriel to know the LORD's arms around her 
especially just now.

Hi Ron, praying for Cathey and her dad....  Does he know the LORD?

And Josie, praying for the LORD to be revealed to your dad, that he may 
receive His righteousness,and know true joy...

							Andrew

>            <<< Note 7.153 by ICTHUS::YUILLE "Thou God seest me" >>>

>Hi Ron, praying for Cathey and her dad....  Does he know the LORD?

    Andrew,

    We have never been able to determine that.  You see, Cathey's dad was
    an alcoholic, which is partly the cause of many of his medical problems
    right now.  He no longer drinks, but I remember during one visit, after
    he had been attending AA for a while, he spoke freely about God and
    even was quoting some scriptures.  However, some of the things he was
    saying didn't quite make sense and when we tried to pursue his
    statements, he would rattle off some more or change the subject.
    Unsure about his standing with the Lord.

    Ron

Thanks Ron.  Just popped in and caught this.  Focuses the prayers.

							Andrew

Mario and Donna have made an excruciating decision.
They have my prayer support.

Abba, you love your children Mario and Donna more than we
ever could. Please hold them in Your lap and give them a
big hug right now. They really need to know that Your love 
for them is totally unconditional and grace-filled.

Abba, they need to fully realize the truth of your promise
to Isaiah, that You would "never leave or forsake" them, 
that you have"engraved them in the palm of" Your "hands."

Abba, show them lovingly that they need not so much to
understand the circumstances, as to be certain of Your
immeasurable love in the midst of them.

    The choice Mario and Donna have made is immeasurably heartbreaking.
    Prayers uplifted.

    Praying for your neighbor Jim.
    

         Just catching up, but have not forgotten these folks:
         
         Jim	For Sue Dube	That the surgery will have divine 
                                assistance in rectifting this long term

         Ron	For Ed Chappell	Continuing to uplift Cathy and her Dad 
                                before the Lord.
         
         Josie	For Fabio	Praying that your dad will experience the

                                soul, also of the body if the Lord wills
         
         Steve	For Mario & Donna

                                minds and hearts - to melt away any guilt 
                                or accusation the enemy would throw at

    Also remembering these in prayer.
    
    Adding Sheba (and Nancy's boys) as well.
    
    Mark L.

    Praying for Nancy, her boys and the dog..
    
    Nancy, I know the feeling of loosing a dog. Our dog of 5 years either
    ran off or was stolen this summer.. We still have not gotten him back.
    
    So, your Prayer request is not trivial. A dog is a member of the
    family. 
    
    We've since rescued another dog from the Humane Society who has brought
    joy to the family... BUT, Boomer (our other dog) will still be #1 in
    our hearts... Ralph (the new dog) is a gift from God though!
    
    Hang in there Nancy. AND, if I could suggest... Make plenty of posters
    and distribute them WIDELY throughout the neighborhood. If you have
    VETs in your neighborhood, put one up there... You can never put up
    enough posters..!
    
    Good Luck!
    
    Bob
    

Praying for you to find Sheba well and soon, Nancy.

That God would give a demonstration of His love to your lads...


							Andrew

Not the first time we've prayed for a dog, either...

Praying for those in in India, and those who have lost loved ones in India.



and Praying for the restoration of the furred one to Nancy's family.

    Praying for those in India... Wow.
    
    Can anyone tell us the details as to what happened?

Remembering those suffering in the India earthquake before the LORD, that
relief may be brought to those in distress, and healing to those who
suffer; that they may be guarded against disease epidemic and the
compounding of troubles.  Skill, perception and speed to the army personnel
detailed to work in these areas...  Above all, that the LORD would move to
bring peace to the hearts of mankind in this situation, who so need His
peace... 

Phil,

Remembering your Mom in prayer.  I hope that she gets better soon.

    Thanks for all your prayers.  I won't know anything until about two
    weeks from now in regards to what they find out about my surgery.  It's
    female stuff and better left not written out in detail... but at this
    time I have no reason to believe it's serious.  And with all of your
    prayers, it'll remain that way!!!! :-)
    
    I'm home, groggy, but wanted to let you guys know I'm okay.

    Praying for Ron and Karen.  May God comfort, strengthen, and support
    them at this time.  May He speak to their hearts as they seek to
    understand how this could have happened.  May He surround them with
    much love at this time.

    Ron

> it kind of leaves one dumbstruck.
    
    It left me dumbstruck as well.  Praying for Ron and Karen, and
    for the Lord to lead and enable those who would minister to them at
    this time.
    
    Mark L.

I can't even imagine what that must be like to go through.  Have prayed
for them, and my heart goes out to them.

Leslie

    Man, this kind of stuff always makes me take a deep breath... suicide
    leaves so many victims.  Praying for the family of the deceased and for
    your church as well.
    
    Nancy

Mark,

Praying for Ron & Karen, in the intense pain of such a loss.  May our 
precious LORD bear them up with hope, deep reassurance, and the peace that 
passes all understanding...  Such pain is overwhelming, and there seems no 
end to it, but He can reach.  I pray that He will.

					In Jesus' love
							Andrew

    Praying for Ron & Karen... Having 3 children of my own, I can not
    imagine this kind of thing... God give them strength to get through
    this in faith!
    
    If I may also pray for my three children (Chris, Bob Jr. and Billy)
    that they find strength to get beyond problems that might otherwise
    bring them to such an end...! I pray that they always feel comfortable
    enough to talk to us, as their parents, or to other Christian adults
    who would be able to assist them during hard times.
    
    Sorry folks, but this sends chills through me..!
    
    Bob G.
    

    Heavenly Father,
    
    I come to you on behalf of Ana.  Lord, please comfort the family and
    heal her body as your will dictates.  Father, may the police find the
    truth behind this, guide the investigation and grant discernment.
    In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
    
    

James,

I think that you and the other members of the group should seek legal help
with this.  You need to go to the police or other authorities because this
is harrassment, and is probably not legal (Shouldn't be legal).  Also, I 
would suggest that you get your home phone numbers changed - (to an unlisted 
number if they have such things), and possibly get you business number changed
as well if they have been calling there.

I will be praying for you all.

Leslie

    Re: Note 7.204 by KAHALA::JOHNSON_L
    
    Leslie,
    
    Agreed, this sort of harassment is illegal, even in this country.  Our
    considered reaction is to keep praying for the perpetrators rather
    than to go through the anti-harassment channels provided by Digital
    Telecoms.
    
    The calls have been at work for all of us.  Since Digital will not give
    out our home telephone numbers, we are safe from that particular
    trouble.
    
    Since we know the identity of the people involved, should we wish to
    take action the Police would have absolutely no trouble finding them. 
    They are on the social security network, and we have their names and
    sufficient information to allow the police to trace them, even though
    they are itinerants.  We just don't want to do this just yet; as per
    scriptural comments on how to resolve conflicts between (supposed)
    christians.
    
    James

 John, will be praying for Nancy and her mother, as well as James and his
colleagues.

    John will be praying for Nancy and her Mom.   May God grant the peace
    needed to get them through this time.
    
    James, am praying for wisdom.
    
    Nancy

         James,
         
         A disturbing problem for you and your colleagues humanly speaking 
         - as I enter this note, the first line of a hymn have come to 
         mind:
         
                         May the mind of Christ my Saviour
                             Live in me from day to day
         
         It is my prayer that you will be given divine wisdom, from the 
         very mind of Christ Himself, and that through it all He will be 
         glorified.
         
         
         John,
         
         Praying for Nancy that she will know the Lord's comforting arms 
         surrounding her, and that her mother will know relief from the 
         depression which is dragging her down.
         
         
         Paul

Graeme (and Steve) remembered for the  confrontation after Sunday's service
... And Mr Jones. 

								Andrew

Praying that you will be kept safe during this "confrontation", with
this person who has reacted so strongly to the incident of your group's
request for verification of need and subsequent refusal to send money
when that verification did not come.  Be prepared for him to "make a
scene" in front of the other members of your church.

Praying also that he will have a change of heart before or during your
meeting with him.  That he will be open to see your side of the issue,
and open to forgiveness and reconcilliation where it is required and
appropriate.

Leslie

    Am praying also for you James and Graeme.

    Praying that the Lord will comfort Helen and Sean at this time, and
    that the Lord will use Ann to be a special encouragement.

    Mark L.

    Thanks for the reminder Markel.. Ann praying for those needs.  

Julie, remembering the Ireland situation with an aching heart...

Ann, remembering Helen, Mary and Sean before the LORD, for their comfort 
and His peace...

						In Jesus' love

Praying for your uncle, Karen...  Especially that his heart would be 
receptive to what the LORD is saying to him.

    Praying for your Uncle Karen, please update us when  you can.
    
    Nancy

    I cried when I first heard that little Jamie Bulger had been murdered.
    The details that have come from the trial this last week have been
    truly horrific. That anyone could do this to a toddler is shocking - I
    find it appalling that two children are said to be responsible. It is
    very hard to believe and my heart and my prayers go out to all those
    involved.

Hello Karen,

Continuing to pray for your uncle - spiritually and physically...

								Andrew

praying with you for Chris, Jim.  May the LORD touch his heart and break it 
to make it afresh....

								Andrew

    Praying for your son Chris, Jim.... Also praying for those who would
    teach/show Chris that being Christian/Religious is "offensive".. They
    know not of what they speak..

    The unfortunate, but not irreversible, affect of our society.! 
    
    Bob
    

    Praying for your son, Jim.  It's an awful feeling when one close 
    to our heart is far from His.

    No problem Rebecca... I feel lead.  Will pray for Mike Lee and Mariah.
    
    Nance

Hi Jim, continuing to prsy for Chris, that the LORD would reach in to him...

Rebecca - praying for the gracious mercy of our LORD to work in Mike's
body, and to be strength to Mariah's heart.  For His wings to protect them 
throughout these aching days...  And thanking Him for His mercy that
there's no brain damage.

James, lifting you up for health and strength for the task, and for great 
wisdom in ministering and protecting Petria in the sensitive situation.

						In Jesus' love
								Andrew

    Hi James... Sorry to hear your retching.
    
    Ann, sorry to hear about Kay... will keep her in prayer.
    
    Nancy

Continuing in prayer for you, James.  Though as far as time goes, it might 
be getting late...

Ann, thanks for the update on Kay - praying for her work situation...

    "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but
    God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye
    are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that
    ye may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:13 
    
    Praying for Priscilla, for the Lord's hand upon her.  And for you, Ann,
    to be comforted and to be a comfort. "Blessed be God, even the Father
    of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all
    comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able
    to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we
    ourselves are comforted of God." (2 Cor. 1:3-4)
    
    Mark L.

    Ann, praying for Priscilla and for Chris' friend.

    Julie,
    
    I will pray for your sister.  Does Digital have EAP there?  If
    so, please call and speak to a professional who can help you identify
    the behavior that is concurrent with anorexia.  This will help with
    confronting the issue should your fears be validated.
    
    In His Love,
    Nancy

 I had a nice man-man talk with my son last night..the ol' don't make
 the same mistakes I made chat.  His girlfriend has shown interest in the
 Lord and my son seems to have a desire to get things straight..I told him
 last night that now is the time to get things straight with him and now
 is the time to start praying about his role as a husband and father and 
 to pray for the salvation of his kids.  I left him a tape about getting
 things straight with God and he said he and his fiance will come to church
 Wednesday night...



 Jim still too young to be a father in law and much too  young to be a 
 grandfather.

6.543 Rebecca

Daniel 3
 16  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O
Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
 17  If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the
burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
 18  But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy
gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

This is faith that is unwavering.  Whether consumed by the fire, or saved
from it, we will not serve other gods.

If the Lord is willing, may He save Mike Lee from his fire.

	For a christian woman working in the Mill cafeteria.

        Her granddaughter was due in March, but decided she was in a hurry
        and arrived yesterday.  Danielle only wieghs one pound and is
        fighting for her life.  I pray that she survives and grows up a
	faithful Christian servant.

    Ron, I think you are right... this is a time of the year in which we
    need to focus on the saving Grace of Christ and give our hearts and
    praises on Him.  
    
    For me, I think my family has been taught that Christmas is receiving
    [kids] and this year I'm seeking to do something different.
    
    A suggestion I had from a friend, which I plan on executing is to make
    Cookies Plates for the elders in our church and couple in their 60's or
    older.  My boys and I will make these up, homemade, put on plate and
    deliver while caroling to each home.
    
    I'm going to have my boys choose a good duty task for one of our
    neighbors, walk their dog, rake some leaves, take out the garbage, mow
    the lawn, whatever they can handle and do well.  
    
    They aren't gifts from Santa this year [there is no Santa and I'm
    beginning to resent what he stands for], they will however, be allowed
    to receive gifts from family members.
    
    Nancy

    
    I'll say a prayer for JoAnn. My current manager (not my next manager,
    who is still late for our meeting) has a very sick mother, as well.
    It seems there are so many ill people nowadays....a former elder in the
    Christian community I belong to (who now works with a small community
    in Ft Collins, Col), once talked about his twin brother, a Christian
    leader who died after a long illness in which he was in intense pain.
    No one could understand why he had to suffer so. Right before he died,
    he became extremely lucid, looked up from his bed and said "Now I
    understand" and then died. We'll probably never understand why there
    is all this suffering, but we have to have faith that it will work
    out for the best. I've never suffered the loss of someone very close to
    me, so there is no way I can know the pain that entails, but there
    is someone who does know, and may He comfort JoAnn and those who know
    and love her
    
    	Bob

My prayers added for so many ... I've been out sick, so haven't entered 
here over the last 2+ weeks.  Now I have been able to review what I have 
missed, and bring all you dear ones before the LORD...

Especially Neil's family, with the ache of JoAnn's situation.  My prayers
are with each of you there, Neil... Am I right in understanding that there
are young children who are struggling with the theat of bereavement?  Hugs, 
bro... and tears.

James, for John & Kerryn, and their knowledge of God's hand setting them 
aside for the time of recovery...

Nancy, for all those affected by this flu epidemic.  I remember one year 
when the kids were small, and the bug had gone round and round us again and 
again...  We hit rock bottom that Christmas...  But the Rock was still  
there.  Sure, it's bad for the kids as they learn to go through suffering.
But its desperate for parents, struggling to cope with the extra load, a
fractious family, and that lurking feverish feeling that says *I* want to
exercise my right to be fractious too ... only to realise that it's all to
teach us we haven't that right... ;-{ 

							Andrew

Steve...  prayers for yuo and the family, for wisdom and comfort, and the 
LORD's very real presence in such a timew of distress.

						In Jesus' love
								Andrew

 Will be praying for your son, Bob.  This all sounds so familiar
 as I went through something similar with my oldest several years ago.





 In Christ

    Praying Bob, Mail sent.
    
    Nancy

    Bob,

    Praying for your family.

    Ron

Bob, praying for Billy and Peggy, in this situation of such stress and 
tension, that it will be a time of learning and healing under the LORD, 
that He would break down barriers and flood the family with His love as you 
each learn to recognise Him in each other, and in the home... 

Especially for Billy, with the devastating realisation of a problem with 
his own personality.

Gracious LORD, reach out Your hand into Billy's life and tenderly melt his 
heart as he realises what he has done, and remembers how Jesus has taken 
responsibliity for *that* sin, as a part of taking all his sinfulness, that 
the memory of this time would be a strength to him in knowing "Jesus, my 
righteousness"....  And LORD, I ask that You would also touch Peggy, to 
realise who she is before You.  That you would melt away the grief and 
shame of this time, and minister to the hearts of all concerned.  Bless my 
dear brother Bob also, that he may know great strength from You, in 
offering Your loving care to each membert of the family according to their 
needs.

Thank You LORD for bearing my sin..

							In Jesus' Name...

rebellious against the home.

							love
								Andrew

Dave, asking the LORD for peace for Pastor Grant, as he approaches
tomorrow's surgery.   For God's hand covering the surgeon's in every
step...  For God's love to enfold the family...  For Saturday to be a
Christmas of rejoicing for them all. 

							Andrew 

    Praying for Pastor Grant's heart surgery.
    
    Father in Heaven,
    
    May your guide the surgeon's hands, and restore one of your shephards
    to his flock.  Give peace and calm to the family and friends and most
    of all your will be done.  In Jesus' name, Amen.

         Bob,
         
         Just seen your note and am praying for your son, that the Lord 
         will quicken the physical healing, and that he will suffer no long 
         term effects, also for his emotional healing. Praying also that 
         you as a family will know God's guidance as to how to proceed from 
         here, much more importantly that He will be glorified through this 
         event.                                      ---------
         
         God bless
         
         Paul

My LORD, thank You for Your care over Bob through the trials that he has 
met in 1993.  Thank You for the strength You have developed in him to meet 
these things, and the knowledge that You are his loving Father in heaven,
and that You are in control.  Be with him in this latest test, and 
especially in the preservation of the son you have entrusted to him.  Grant 
perfect and rapid healing, we pray, skill for the surgeon, and grateful 
hearts to You, both in Bob's family, and in the family of the boy who did 
this thing...  Thank You LORD, that though the damage is so close to the 
eye, it did not actually harm the eye directly.  We ask Your protection for 
this family, that You would surround them continually with your arms; that 
the angels would accompany them through the days to come...

							In Jesus' Name

    Praying for you and your family, Bob

 Also praying for your family Bob, and that the Lord will be glorified
 through this, and your family brought even closer to Him.

 
 Sounds like your 1993 was a lot like my 1982!





 Jim

    Bob,
    
    Just read your  prayer request and wanted you to know I am praying too.  
    
    Heavenly Father,
    
    I ask your guidance and comfort on Bob's family and your healing hand
    upon Bob's son.  Lord, your word says that trials come to us for many
    reasons, but I am called to remember particularly the reason of
    perfecting us.  At times, I wish we didn't have to grow because
    sometimes the pain of growth seems so unbearable.  Father, you know
    Bob's needs more intimately then even himself, please give him strength
    and comfort during this time.  In Jesus' name, Amen.

Lord of Heaven and Earth, Please bring a complete restoration to Bob's son. 
Somehow, as only You can do, bring forth good from a really bad situation. 
Thank You for hearing our prayers and giving us Faith to believe that You will
dramatically work in this situation. May You be Glorified ! Praise the Name of
Jesus!

    Also praying, Bob.
    
    Mark L.

Thanks for the update, Julie...   I'll be praying for your sister, the 
Christmas confrontation - that it wouldn't be like that!  And for your 
father, that his heart might be opened to the Father...

So many specifics to bring to the LORD from yesterday....  And He delights 
to care for them all.

Julie, remembering your sister before the LORD, with her ability to eat, and 
especially with the family reunion pending...  And your father's positiona 
before the LORD...

Ron, Remembering the Tagliere family, that they may be comforted with the 
knowledge of Carmine in the LORD's presence.  That justice is in His 
hands, and not the hands of men.  And that He has granted us grace instead 
of justice....

The Smalley family .... that their experience would touch their heart for 
the LORD, to soften them, and not harden them, and especially for Vernon...

Nancy - for Rosemary Hernandez and her three orphaned children, who's 
memories of this Christmas will be so bleak.  May our precious LORD 
surround them with His rich love through this time...

Jim - remembering Scott, and the EEG results...

Rebecca, bearing you up before the LORD, with the family distresses and
concerns...  David and the children, your mother's heavy responsibilities,
John - for a speedy and favorable diagnosis and recovery...  And your cat,
helpless to explain its needs!  With you in the middle...

May God bless you each one, and those above on our hearts, that the peace 
which passes all understanding may flow into your hearts this Christmas...

    Lisa,
    
    Sorry to hear about your Uncle.  It seems these holidays have brought
    some tragedies to several families I know.  I am reminded of the
    Beatitudes though... Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be
    Comforted...
    
    Your family is in my prayers as well, Lisa.
    
    Nancy

 will be praying Lisa and Jack...





 Jim

    Praying for you Jack and your wife and new baby.. that the Lord will
    bring you all trhough this rough time.!
    
    Bob
    

    Heavenly Father,
    
    I  come to you on behalf of my friends Lord.  For Lisa that peace would
    come into the hearts of the grieving.  May the Comforter be poured out
    in that family.
    
    Father, for Michelle as well, this is such a delicate time for her and
    the baby.  Lord, please touch Michelle and her baby this hour and give
    the doctors wisdom as they prescribe her treatment.
    
    Father, for Jim, Lord, be with him, calm him, give him direction with
    his family.  Lord, I ask that Kathy be calmed as well, give her an ear
    to what is right and best for her family.  Lord, protect Scott through
    this time...Lord, his physical health, his emotional and spiritual
    health are all needing gentle love.
    
    And finally Father, for the struggles of many in here who have set
    goals for themselves for the new year, weight loss goals, financial
    restoration goals, family goals, or even spiritual goals.  Lord, though
    my eyes have not seen many who participate in this conference, you know
    each person intimately and you know their needs.  Lord, I ask that you
    meet those needs and keep them close to your heart.  In Jesus' name,
    Amen.

Lifting up before the LORD all those who have brought their needs and 
situations in note 6...

Rejoicing with you, Bob, on your older son's eye preserved through the 
accident... and praying for your younger son in the decision to come on the 
recent incident...

Remembering your friend, Ann, who suffers from depression, that the LORD 
would bring her relief and comfort in His presence...

Remembering Bill and the family, Jack, in their tragic loss this Christmas...
And Michele, with the baby, that precious gift, for God to preserve with 
peace patience and safety, to the day of full development and birth to 
delight your hearts...

Praying with you, Jim, with Scott's request, and so glad at the clear EEG 
result.

Lisa, bearing up your aunt Judy and cousin Heather and the family, in the
loss of your uncle Bob, that the LORD would be a comfort to their hearts, 
and give them the peace of His loving presence.

So sorry about your Christmas, and your dad's reaction to Kerry, Julie...  
If he usually reacts badly to Christmas, then perhaps it wasn't a time he 
could easily change his rules.... We'll continue to pray.

						In Jesus' love
								Andrew

    Thanks to all of you for your prayers.  Michele is home now.  The
    contractions have stopped for now anyway.
    
    In Christ,
    
    -Jack

Praise the LORD, Jack - keeping you - and Michele - in my prayers...

						Andrew

	*WONDERFUL* news, Jack!

	Please do keep us posted on Michele's progress!!!

	BTW, is she "gestationally" diabetic, or diabetic ?

	Karen

    Thanks all!   Michele is juvenille onset.  She's a lifer :-( but she is
    very regimented and is on top of things.  She knows about the
    conference and appreciates all of you!!!
    
    I will keep you posted.
    
    In Christ,
    
    -Jack

	Thanks for the added info, Jack.  I've a got a good friend
	that also has Juvenile onset, and had a baby a year ago (also
	delivered early - although hospitalized, no one realized she
	was in labor until she was 7 cm dilated...)

	Helps me pray a bit more specifically...

	Karen

    Wow, now I'm nervous.  This will be #3.  The first was induced labor,
    the 2nd was a 3:00 A.M. surprise with plenty of time to get to the
    hospital.  I just pray I am home when it happens as we now have two
    children to think about!!  Actually, our church has been extremely
    supportive!
    
    God Bless,

    Praying for Shirley and Ren, how horrible a thing to go through...

    Will be praying Steve...  I, too, understand *fear*.
    
    Nancy

    I 'll pray with you Steve. I know what severe pain feels like and it
    aint fun to go through it alone.

    Heavenly Father,
    
    I ask that you give Steve the endurance that he needs right now as he
    suffers this pain.  Lord, I know that you are aware of Steve's needs
    more intimately then I, and ask that you meet those needs and give him
    rest and comfort.  In Jesus' Name, Amen... and I will continue to pray.
    
    Love,
    Nancy

    Thanks.  I do appreciate the prayers.

Remembering Shirley and Ren in their tragic loss of Kenny after his 18 years 
in their hearts...

Steve (L) - for your mother's safety, and peace of mind for you both; that
the threat would be removed.... 

Steve (A) - for relief from this pain, and a right diagnosis and speedy 
treatment.  For the LORD's presence with you in distress, and His hand 
soothing away pain.

Nancy, for Rafael's salvation, as ever.  That whatever the LORD has given 
you for him will be used continually by the Holy Spirit towards his 
salvation.

    Due to technical difficulty [the parents of the kids I was babysitting
    for didn't show up til too  late], Rafael's and my meeting has been

    then mine... :-)
    
    Keep praying, please.

Bo!

So sorry to hear you're moving on - except that it's the LORD's timing,

    no man can close. It was recently said to me Bo, attitude is equivalent
    to altitude! Soar high my brother, and reach the full potential God
    has for you. I will be praying. May the doors open wide, may God,
    release the flood gates of his grace upon you.
    
     In Christ's love,
        PDM

Will miss you, Bo.  I'll be in touch.  Will keep
you, Lili, Timothy and Heather in our prayers.

Collis

    I'll keep you in prayer, Bo, along with your family.  Is it settled in
    your heart that you're definitely leaving?  Just unsure whether to pray
    for open doors here in Digital or not.
    
    Having been there, I have a bit of an idea of what you may be going
    through at this time.
    
    I'm so grateful that we serve a faithful God, 'who has never seen His
    children begging for bread.'  I'm also reminded of Jeremiah's words "I
    know the plans for you, says the Lord.  Plans to prosper you and not
    harm you; plans to give you a hope and a future."  Whatever befalls --
    employment in Digital or outside -- I *know* that it is able to add
    eternal blessings to you.  Your obedient spirit is an honor and
    testimony to Him!
    
    In Him,

So sorry about this latest blow, Bob...  Will be keeping you and yours in
prayer.

So sorry, Karen ... Praying for Jamie and the family.  Especially over the 
hurt of not knowng the need in that last pain, and the empty silence over 
his salvation....

							Andrew

I'm praying for you too, Bob.  My kids are still younger (oldest is 8), so
I'm dealing with smaller issues as of yet, but I can only imagine the pain
and stress as you see your child making such choices.

Since I have a *personal* understanding of another area, I'll be praying that
you not use food as an outlet for the stress.  Or that if you must, you eat
carrots or something.  :-)

Paul

    Praying for you, Bob.

    Paryer for you Bob. May the Lord protect and comfort you and your

	bring about his salvation !

	Nancy, praying for your friend.

	Jim, praying for you and Ron.

    
    
    ....for Michelle, her dad & baby (you too, Jack) - Lord, bring 
        peace and comfort to their hearts and minds and protection
        to the unborn child
    
    ....for your father, Jeff - may God soften his heart
    
    ....for Jim and Ron as they share the Good News
    
    ....for Nancy's friend as she faces this surgery - let her know
        you are by her side, Lord, and won't ever leave her, whatever
        the outcome of her surgery
    
    

    Just got word that Michelle's surgery has been postponed and will start
    at 1:00 PST, which is 4:00 EST!  Please continue to pray.
    
    This lady is a great inspiration to many.  Last night at our first
    ladies night out of 1994, Michelle lead the group in many of our games
    and inspirational activities.  I know that at least a dozen of the
    women at this outing, were there primarily because of Michele's
    involvement in their salvation, restoration or encouragement.
    
    Thanks *so* much.

    the debate was postponed! 
    I just realized that that is good - means there is now more time for
    people to pray!
    he he heh...

First, congrats on the birth of your son Timothy !  I hope that he will
be a treasure and a joy for you and your wife.  Secondly, you have my
prayers for your son's well being, and a good and speedy recovery for your
wife.  I hope the whole Ollis family will be together at home, happy and 
healthy very soon.

Leslie

	Steve,

	Congratulations!

	Praying for Timothy and your wife.  My daughter was on antibiotics
	from the first few moments of her life (I was on them, too) due
	to the long time between my water breaking and her birth (60 hours).
	I also spiked a fever a couple hours before she was born, so they
	suspected an infection.

	Emily never contracted an infection, and was allowed to leave
	after 72 hours of observation.

	Please keep us posted on the family's progress!

    I've just heard from my Mum that the doctor thinks my brother's chest
    pains are due to stress and anxiety. He's been put onto beta blockers
    (I think these are a bit like tranquilisers) and has to go back to the
    doctor next week for another check over. 
    
    At least it's not what we feared it might be.
    
    Thanks for remembering him in your prayers and thankyou, God, for
    looking after him.

Jim

    Ron,
    
    I'm so sorry for your loss.
    
    When my dad died last year, a sister reminded me that Yeshua said,
    "Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted."  I had always
    thought of that as distant future - "in the sweet by and by".  But my
    experience was that He was comforting me in the present in what was a
    tremendous blow to me on every level.  The pain of the loss was
    unspeakable, but His comfort even moreso.  I pray you and your family
    know the same as you grieve.
    
    Shalom,
    
    
    Steve
    

    Praying for you, Ron.
    
    Mark L.

    Ron,
    
    ditto for what Steve shared in .358... May you know the Lord's comfort
    today, throughout the funeral & arrangements, and in the months ahead.
    He does hold us especially close during these times,
    
    -greta
    

    Bob,
    
    I pray that the Lord would confirm His will for your life (concerning
    this move) with an unshakeable peace in your heart.
    
    -greta

My LORD, I ask for Your hand upon Graham for good, that You would do a work 
of creation within him, that his health would be restored and refreshed.

Holy God, I ask that You guide Rick in his future employment; that You 
guard him from any hasty or wrong decisions, and light up before him the 
path in which he should walk.  Thank You for those words "I am the way, the 
truth and the life", and that they apply to the way to eternal joy in Your 
presence in all aspects of our lives...

My Father, I bring Ed Guinan before You as a dear brother in the LORD.  You 
know his hopes and faithfulness, and love for You and Your work.  Stir his 
heart with the joy of Your presence right now, I pray, that knowing his 
life is so really in Your hand will be all the fulfillment he could desire. 
And knowing You, his Father, by his side, will be all the family he could 
long for.  Bless Nancy in ministering to him also...

							In Jesus' Name

	It seems as though Ed has accepted that he will die. This may very well
be the case, according to the doctors. But with the miricles that the Lord has
done with others who have been in similar positions, my hope is he still keeps
faith in that he could be healed. IF it is the Lord's will, then healed is what
he will be. I really hope he hasn't given up hope. 



Glen

 Will pray for all...

Praying for Susan - for comfort right from the throne in this time of

that the LORD would be very real to each of you according to your needs...

						In Jesus' love
								Andrew

>            <<< Note 7.380 by ICTHUS::YUILLE "Thou God seest me" >>>

>Praying for John & Marianne, for the LORD's hand upon them both for peace 
>and comfort as they go through this situation, and for His healing hand tp

>Do they know the LORD?

    I hope that this does not offend anyone in here.  They are catholic and
    from conversations my wife and I have had with Marianne, it appears
    that they do.  I don't want to imply that catholics are exempt from a
    saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior.  Far be it!  There are many
    catholics that I know (in fact, many of you who write in here) that
    obviously are born-again believers.  I also don't believe that being
    catholic or any other denomination (attending church services, etc.)
    automatically means that you know the Lord.  There are many churchgoers
    (not only catholic) who are just along for the ride.  Playing the game,
    as it were.  Please understand, I grew up catholic.  And although I
    knew who Jesus Christ was and I understood that He died on the cross
    for our sins, I did not come to know Him as my personal Savior until my
    wife and the pastor of the church she attended at the time explained
    what it meant to accept Him as Lord and Savior.  In other words, I knew
    who Jesus was, but I didn't KNOW Him!

    I didn't mention yesterday but attached to the note that she asked me
    to read was a second sheet of paper with a scripture quote (can't
    remember what it was right now).  It indicated, to me, that they are
    both looking to God for strength right now and believing that He can
    work a miracle in all of this.

    Again, I hope that I have not offended anyone in here.  That was
    certainly not my intent.  Please forgive me if anything I said has hurt
    you.  Sometimes I am not able to put down in a note what I want to
    convey.

    Ron

Thank you Ron.  I didn't mean to put you on the spot!  Just helps in 
knowing how to pray.

    	We are lifting your situation before the Lord.  May God send you
    peace.
    
    -Rick

    John,
    
    Just got into the file and your prayer request was one of the first
    I saw...
    
    Just to encourage you in this new heart attitude.  You have chosen that
    portion which is better.  I can see the Father's heart rejoicing that
    you have turned to Him as truly your Lord, as well as Saviour.
    
    Yes, like Sampson, there are consequences to our actions.  The Lord may
    not always remove them from us.  But rest assured that in His economy,
    nothing is wasted.  Truly, He works all things for good for those that
    love Him.
    
    Be encouraged, John!  Be encouraged!  He is your strong arm, He is your
    joy, your strength.  He will make a way for you.  There will be peace.
    
    I am rejoicing for you today!!  I see great victory!!
    
    I pray that the Lord would bring one or two strong Christian men into
    your path to help disciple you, keep you acountable, encourage you in
    the days ahead.
    
    In Him,
    
    -greta 

    John,
    
    I echo what Greta has so beautifully written.  Praise God that you are
    coming to the right places for solace, comfort and repentance.  I
    understand intimately that God is very forgiving, yet He is not mocked
    and we must reap what we sow.  I am divorced... and it is painful.  I
    also know God's comfort and have known his arms to wrap around me when
    I'm lonely....
    
    Also, sing... sing Praises unto Him, no matter how "unnatural" it may
    feel at this time of mourning... Sing songs that mention Jesus... 
    
    "They that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength, they shall
    mount up with wings as Eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they
    shall walk and not faint."
    
    May you ride on Eagle's wings.
    
    In His Love,
    Nancy

    Praying for you John, your children and Lyn.

Middlesborough.  Praying for the Lord to work in and through this situation.
Praying for comfort for the bereaved, and salvation for the man who commited
the crime.

Hi Ann,

Praying for the lad you mentioned, and his mother, for the LORD's peace and 
comfort in their lives, releasing them to appreciate what He has given, and 
to see through those who would be a bad influence, and not be attracted...

								Andrew

    
    
    How do you share the Lord with someone who doesn't even listen to
    anyone anyways ?
    
    Ann
    
    

 Ann, see the quote I posted in 431.18.."they are powerless against our
 prayers"...there is a tremendous amount of truth in that statement.




Jim

    Ann,
    
    Praying for the boy, that he will feel God's love. I pray for the boy's
    mom, that she will not give up in her attempt to reach him. I also pray
    for the boy's father, that he can find the strength to resume in his
    attempts to reach the boy..
    
    You see, dad's washing his hands will only work to send the wrong
    message to the boy.. He needs to see continuing love and caring from
    the parents...
    
    Above all... the boy should not be given up on!!! No matter what it
    takes. 
    
    Bob

    Hello,
    
    Sorry I haven't been in for a while, but I'd like to share something
    with you.
    
    You remember that I asked for prayers for my brother recently - he had
    split up with his girlfriend and had chest pains, so went to his
    doctor.
    
    It's the first time I've known chest pains to be a blessing in
    disguise. While checking him over, the doctor noticed a mark on my 
    brother's face, just beneath his eye. My brother, being a happy-go-lucky 
    sort of person, hadn't really bothered about it. The doctor suggested that 
    he go for tests.
    
    My brother has just had that mark removed in surgery. It was skin
    cancer, fortunately in the early stages, although he has to go for
    check-ups and treatment until they can give him the all-clear.
    
    How he managed to get skin cancer in this country (where I'm beginning
    to forget what the sun looks like :-)) is anyone's guess. The doctor
    did ask him if he'd been in a hot climate, to which he replied "What?
    On MY money?!!"
    
    So, I'm actually thanking God that my brother had those chest pains
    because otherwise he'd never have known about the cancer until it was
    too late.

Julie!  What a mercy the LORD took your brother to the doctor so the skin 
cancer was caught so early!  Praise the LORD!

Ann, any update on your aunt? - also remembering your 13-year old relative, 
and praising over his mother's new job!

Bob - heard from the in-laws yet, on their progress towards Oklahoma?

Graham - remembering Alex before the LORD today again... Also Lori-Ann &
Martin, and Jessica, with the aches and hopes they must be undergoing... 

Update on 6.664 - 'hundreds' attended the funeral of the murdered 12-year 
old schoolgirl.  May the LORD speak to them concerning the need for us to 
repent as a nation and individually...

							God bless
								Andrew

    Status on my inlaws... (If we had done this, they'd be mad)
    
    They drove as far as Dodge City Kansas the first night.. No call!
    
    They drove the second day, to Ponka City Oklahoma (destination), still
    no call.... Peggy had to call her aunt to find out they'd made it...
    
    Geesh, in-laws.... They'll give ya grey hairs sometimes...
    
    Now they just have to do it all over again on Friday... I hope they
    stop in Dodge City again on the way back... Dodge City is the 1/2 way
    point for this trip.
    

    praying, Ann...

  Will pray Nancy..

There are many burdens on the heart from all the prayer requests which have
been flowing in over the past few weeks.  Good to hear where the LORD has
answered.  Updates are appreciated to keep our prayers on target... 

Continuing to remember Todd and Jack, Jim, in their different situations
and needs.  For Todd & Julie's continuing peace and assurance as they face
the greatest reality together, of eternity...  For Jack to find that
forgiveness which surpasses understanding and brings the peace Todd 
witnesses to...

Daryl, for your wife's grandmother ... 
Gil, your friend separated from his family
Dale, your friend with the speech impediment needing employment...
Steve L, for your uncle Larry's full recovery after that heart attack
Glen, your aunt who has such an onslaught of medical problems.

Brach - it is important that we, as faithful employees should continue to 
	pray for digital, even as we are light and salt here (are we?)  
	Thank you for that reminder.  Looking at the later turn-around in 
	stock prices, perhaps the prayers are beginning to take effect!

Steve McC - Wendy Thomas and her family .. 
	(currently on a much-needed 2 weeks medical leave). 

Nancy, for your surgery .... for the LORD's hand upon you in protection 
throughout this time, and on Matthew and Clayton.  Also re Rafael, and

forward for the right place for the family to stay.  For other things to 
occupy Kitt's mind, that he may be directed towards the LORD...

					God bless
						Andrew

 Will also pray, Bob....






 

    praying for Monica and for Kitt

There was new tearful news for Wendy Thomas' family in Parenting today.
Her unborn baby may also be at risk now...

We're praying for healing for her and her family, for wisdom and guidance
for the family and doctors, and for God's Peace to be with her in these 
scary days!

Tanya

Praying for Elisha, that the LORD would sustain her and protect her, in 
this position of great responsibility... 
  "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say
   all kinds of evil against you because of Me.  Rejoice and be glad,
   because great is your reward in heaven..." 

							Matthew 5:11-12

Also for Monica and Kitt...

And for the Nozzell / Thomas family....  May the LORD uphold them and bring 
them safely through these trials to His glory.

								Andrew

 Praying, Bob and P.   Scary times, for sure...





Jim

    Praying for you Phil.  I'll pass on the same encouragement to you that
    I received just last night.  God is on the throne, He still loves you
    the same as He did when He sent Christ to die for you.  Keep your eyes
    upward.
    
    With love,
    Nancy

    Phil,
       I am saddened to hear that you may be leaving us, but that sorrow is
    shadowed by the joy and excitement that is in my heart. For the chance
    to start anew, to move on and to change is a vitality that keeps us
    sharp. Phil, look forward! I will not mourn the day I am tapped on the
    shoulder, I look forward to it. The only thing keeping me here is lack
    of faith and trust the the Lord is king of all. (in all honesty) If I
    did not have a family to worry about, I would have been gone long ago
    pursuing my dream to have a farm.
    
    Cheers Phil
    Peace be with you, Shalom
    	PDM

 Praying for Steve..





Jim

    Wow! Phil!  I'm very sorry to hear your news - but excited for you at
    the same time.  What looks so dark and scary at first is ususally the
    first step towards something better, more challenging, fufilling.  I
    feel the same way PDM does - I would have been gone a long time ago if
    I only had the faith of a mustard seed :-(  Not to diminish the impact
    this change (if it occurs) will have on your life, but I think it's
    easier in the respect that you don't have the worries of supporting a 
    family at this time.
    
    Will be praying for you during this stressful time that God will
    clearly show you the way.  GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE! :-)
    
    Karen

    praying for Nancy - midst my fun and excitement
    I almost forgot...
    good thing you have a terminal at home - doubt I'll be around when you
    get back :-/

Praying for Phil, for Nancy, and for Wendy Thomas.



Chele

	Strengthen your servants Nancy and Pam, O God, to do what
	they have to do and to bear what they have to bear; that,
	accepting your healing gifts through the skill of surgeons
	and nurses, they may be restored to usefulness in your world
	with a thankful heart; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Thinking of you before the LORD today, Phil, as you consider how God is
leading you for the future.  And so many more of us, hearing around now... 


							Andrew 

Thanks for the update, Jim; prayers continue for Nancy at an informed
level, even though this reader is more ignorant of the technical medical
details than you are... 


							Andrew

    for a technical to layman's perspective, let's say they took the "baby
    carriage" but left that which fills it.  (took uterus, left ovaries) 
    good news because she will have less problems later in life as her body
    will produce its own hormones.
    
    I am not a doctor, nor do I play one in notes.  This is just my take on
    the procedure (they call it a PROOOCEEDURE - from City Slickers), but
    it's a surgery!
    
    -sjd
    

Laparoscopy - visual examination of the abdomen by means of a laparoscope,
which is a long slender instrument for insertion through the abdominal wall
that is used to visualize the interior of the peritoneal cavity, which is
the smooth transparent serous membrane that lines the cavity of the abdomen
of a mammal and is folded inward over the abdominal and pelvic viscera, which
contains an internal organs of the body, especially one located in the great
cavity of the trunk proper.

 Will Pray, Bob....what a great opportunity that would be!




 Jim

Remembering you, Bob, in the job opportunity there....  Or should that be 
'opportunities', with so much going for it (and you...)

							Andrew

 Will be praying for Susan...





Jim

 May God bless you Dale as you go off to work for Him..






Jim

    Thanks Dale for finally signing on. :-)
    
    May God Bless You in your next assignment here on planet earth.
    
    

Hi Dale,

Good to meet you, albeit briefly!  May you know God's blessing in His 
leading before you.  Remembering your unemployed friend with the speech 
problem too...

					In Jesus' love
							Andrew

    Lord, thy will is being tested by your children. As with all children,
    we seldom learn the firt time or the second. Some of us do not learn
    until the ten or fifteeth revelation. Therefore, I pray hear Steve A's
    prayer. Govern his life and that of his wife. Keep them from harm and
    cloak them from the prying and picking of the Evil One. Lord have mercy
    upon them. 
    
    In Christ's name, who said ask and it will be given, I ask, abide in
    Steve's marriage, become the focus and impart stability.
    
    Amen.

Praying for you, Steve.

Paul

    praying for Steve and his family!
    
    Bob
    

    Praying for Steve's and Pam's requests.

    Ron

    Father in Heaven,
    
    Praise be to you who knows and sees all that is going on with your
    children.  Lord, I ask that Steve be comforted now and know that with
    your help he can learn to be the husband that you have created him to
    be.  Lord I pray that he would get out of the hands of counselors and
    into your hands through your Word.  May he search all scripture in
    regards to leading and husbandry and begin to live your word.  Father,
    may his wife's heart be turned towards her husband and may she learn
    forgiveness.  Father, please build this family for thy glory.  In Jesus
    name, Amen.
    
    Father in Heaven,
    
    I ask that your presence would be known to Pam's family during this
    time of turmoil.  Father I ask that those in Pam's family who do not
    know you as Savior, may find You as their Savior.  I ask for wisdom for
    Pam as she interacts with her relatives and Father, that she may know
    how to comfort her father through all that occurs.  I ask all of this
    in Jesus' name, Amen.

My LORD, I ask your peace for Steve's heart in the stress of tense
relationship, and a home of pain.  Enter in in little ways, LORD, to remind
them of their past companionship, and restore love between them.  Lighten
their hearts in the joy of what You have given, and make their home a place
of comfort, as they know not only peace together, but You in their midst.
Break the bondage, LORD, and restore the joy of Your salvation as something
they can partake of together....  That the home may be built up into a 
place where You are honoured, and their children see You reflected through 
their parents.  And I ask for special, supernatural patience for Steve, as 
he becomes the man of Your choice through this fire, which refines him as  
gold...

Job 23:10 :	"But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me,
		 I shall come forth as gold."
  

My Father, I ask also that You would minister to Pam's family, reaching into 
the hearts of those who have come through troubled waters in life, to know
the peace of Your salvation in their hearts - the peace that only this can
give, and nothing can take away.  That in particualr, her father and Uncle
Burt would learn to rejoice in the goodness of a God who not only gave them
life on this earth, but bought them eternal forgiveness, and life in heaven.
LORD, many of us will never know them on this earth, but long to see them as 
tokens of Your grace in heaven.

Please grant Pam the right words, and spirit to convey them, to speak 
tender words of healing to their spirits, that they would be awakened to 
Your perfect, complete, overwhelming love, even in times of sorrow and 
sadness, as well as in times of joy and gladness.

							in Jesus' Name

May the Word reveal Himself to you, Paul, so that you may deliver the words
of life to your church so that it filters into their being and changes them.

John 6:68  Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou
hast the words of eternal life.

    Heavenly Father,
    
    I pray your wisdom be revealed through your servant Paul Weiss. 
    May your words be his as he preaches to his congregation and Father, we
    give you all the glory, in Jesus Name, Amen.

My LORD, I lift before you all those touched by the death of Margaret
deacon, for Your comfort and strength in the knowledge of Your glorious 
salvation, which turns human death into eternal joy....

I also ask for strength, comfort and healing for our sister Donna, with the 
foot injury, that Your work of healing would go beyind the physical, and 
rejoice her spirit also...

							In Jesus' Name

My LORD, I lift Sandy's sister and the family before You in the trial they
are facing just now, that You would give them Your peace, that Your hand
would reach into their lives and grant them first-hand experience of Your
goodness to witness and proclaim for Your glory and honour.  Grant wisdom 
to the doctors, and discernment to lead them to the root cause of the 
symptoms, and show them Yourself, as the carrier of all their 
responsibilities and burdens through these days.

							In Jesus' Name

    Sandy,
    
    My family and I will be in prayer for you, your sister and
    her family.
    
    God Bless you all
    
    Pam

    Heavenly Father,
    
    I pray that you would be with Sandy and her Sister.  Lord, you know the
    needs of this family more intimately then anyone, and Father, I ask
    your guiding hand with the medical profession.  Lord, please continue
    to give her husband and children the peace inside that only comes from
    You.  In Jesus Name, Amen.

 Heavenly FAther, right now I life Mike Holland to you..Lord, I pray
 first that he would be comfortable and that you'd give wisdom to those
 attending to him and Lord that you'd heal his body.  Comfort his family
 Lord in the knowledge that you are in control.



 In Christ's name,



 Amen

    Dear Father,
    
    I ask that you would be with Mike during this time and Father, may He
    hear your voice in all of this.  May his family know Your comfort and
    Lord let wisdom be foremost in the hearts of the doctors. In Jesus
    Name, Amen.

 Heavenly Father, right now I lift Mike Holland before you and pray Lord,
 for wisdom for the doctors and nurses caring for him, for your healing hand
 to touch him.  Be with his family Lord, and comfort them in their time of
 fear and discouragement..Be with Bob as he ministers to them,

 In Jesus Name

 amen

Many prayer requests recently, which my heart has seen, but I haven't been 
able to respond to here.  I just wanted to respond about Bernadette, Julie. 
Asking the LORD for His joy and peace in this early home call, which is a 
disaster in the eyes of the world, but a glorious entry into the LORD's 
presence for the one covered by Jesus' blood.

There is an elder at my church, with a young family (he's only about my
age), who has also been diagnosed as having an untreatable cancer recently.

It's a solemn yet exciting thing to know that the LORD has said "Soon!" to 
you.  His face shines the clearer through everything...

    Not all Bernadette's family are Christian. This is a real witness to
    them.

         Andrew, are able to give their name? (Reply off-line if more 
         appropriate)

Kym,

Bearing up your grandmother, that her heart would be opened to the LORD and 
strengthened in Him.

    Praying for the many requests in here...
    
    Trusting in Him,

Remembering Todd, Jim.... and Julie and Jessica.

Also Tony, Julian; for the LORD's strength for his wife and yet-to-be-born
baby, and for Isobel and Bill.  But especially that Tony would hear the 
LORD's voice through this, and find Peace for his family...  In fact, would 
it be too much to see this humanly awful event as God's merciful response 
to the prayers of Saturday? - an early warning against the penalty his 
Godless lifestyle would incur....  Aimed to restore them to abundant life, 
instead of existing in rebellious misery?

And for comfort for the family, Karen...

						God bless

    Hi Leslie,
    
    Remembering this family's struggles in prayer.

Leslie,

Remembering Sarah, Joe and Greta, and the family in this time of
bereavement and stress, that the LORD would shine His light in their hearts
as strength, comfort, and salvation.

Hello Kathy,

A couple in my church group was in this situation a few months back, and 
went for alternative treatment (with prayer!), and the lady is now 
- amazingly - up and about, and able to take her place at church, though 
the baby isn't born yet.  Hers was back trouble.  They also have a
two-year old. 

Will remember Steve, Jennifer - and David - in prayer.  As well as #2.

							God bless

Pam.  

What can I say?  Only that the LORD is gracious.  Uncle Burt is in His hands.
Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?  Not just 'right' as in 
'legal', but 'right' in His infinite loving compassion, which bore our 
diseases....

							love

Sylvain,

praying for Laurie and the children, and the while family as affected by 
these circumstances, that the peace and love of the LORD would overwhelm 
their hearts, and warm them with His love, to know His deliverance through 
the situation.

Julian,

So sad and sorry to hear about Tony.  I'll be praying for the family,
especially his wife and little one...  And for his parents to know the LORD
very close, to know how to help them too...

    Praying for Claudia there -greta... 
    

         Greta	- for Claudia
         Nancy	- for Clayton
         
         praying for both of these who are in the Lord's eye right now.
         
         Father, bring a touch of your healing balm upon these two, that 
         the poison that has entered their body will be quickly expunged 
         and that you will quicken the healing process. I ask this in the 
         precious name of JESUS. Amen

Remembering those in particular need before the LORD...

Claudia, Clayton ...  And the colleague with the Downs baby...

					In Jesus' love

 Will be praying for those in AMO...I was shocked when I heard of the
closing.  I spent many a day in that plant over the years and I have
a lot of respect for the hard working folks there..





Jim

Hi Steve,

Remembering you, as well as the others concerned in the plants closing in
Albuquerque & Mexico, that the LORD would open the way ahead clearly...

That's terrible about Steve Nazzaro's daughter, Cindy!  Thanks for letting 
us know.  I'll certainly be remembering the family in my prayers.

My lads all went through the newspaper delivery years, and whenever I hear
of accidents and worse happening to children delivering, it digs deep...

							Andrew

    Prayers up lifted. :-(

Oh how terrible!  The loss of a child like this is so sad.  Will be
praying for Steve and his family.
