Two steps forward and three steps back.

Father, Your children are in desperate straits.
Please, send them the help they need, guide Your other children to them and comfort them in this time of trouble.
Draw them ever closer to You and may their lives be dedicated to You, in Jesus name, amen.

Dear Heavenly Father!
You have told us to come boldly to Your throne of Grace. Father, just NOW that is what we are doing, not because of our righteousness, but because of Jesus rightousness, and I thank You that I can claim that Promise.
Father God, You have precious souls who are hurting right now, from the attacks of the evil one. Oh, Father, please be with Paula and her husband, and Stephanie, during this time.
Father, You see even the little birds that fall by the wayside, and You know what each one is experiencing. You have told us in Your Holy word that Satan is going about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). You have also told US that Jesus is our wisdom,righteousness, sanctification and redemption (1 Cor 1:30), and again in James 5:16, You have asked us to pray for one another, that we may be healed.
Father God, I ask that You will intervene in a mighty way and give these dear ones peace in knowing ONLY Jesus and You.
Thank You Father, for hearing our prayers, and draw us each one together in the unity of the faith, AMEN and Amen!

Remember!!
When you don't feel like praying,
" WHY don't you talk to God about it?
Laurie

I'd like to pass on a request from Paula for people to pray for her and her family again.

Stephanie had a beautiful baby girl, who is thriving, and growing well. She is now working part time, and still living with Paula. Paula's husband has been unable to find work since his heart surgery. Paula is the only one with a full-time job, and she is having health problems as well.

She has been feeling very depressed lately. They are struggling financially, but managing, so she says she doesn't need any help in that area. I had mentioned that I was attending prayer meetings, and she wrote the following: "I am glad that you found a group of people that you have something in common with... Please ask the group to pray for us here. We need it."

So, I would ask you all to remember Paula and her family in your prayers again. Thank you.

Dear Zyph,
Paula and family have been on my prayer list since you first mentioned them to me. Now, that I know a little more of their needs, I will be able to bring them before our loving Heavenly Father..., for "He cares for them."
