God’s Protection!!!
Prayer Focus week 25 (Sunday-Shabbat)
Last week we saw mighty miracles which the Lord wrought!!! The 6-month old baby received a heart transplant; Lori’s surgery went as planned — the tumor was benign! Paul’s procedures were successful.
God’s intervention/protection is something we all need everyday – not just our soldiers on the battlefield, or when we are critically ill, but each of us needs His protection every day! We hear of freak accidents, resulting in people’s lives being forever changed. Thank God, HE has provided the answer.
Verse to memorize: (We challenge each person to memorize Psalm 91 over the next month. This week, we will learn verses 1-2.)
o “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,” Psalm 91:1-2.
Prayer:
“Precious Father. You have shown Your awesome healing touch this last week in so many areas. Thank You! Teach us how to hide in Your refuge and for us to make our fortress in You. We pray You continue healing Lori; be with Debbie and Matt. We ask for Your continuous healing touch on Bonnie, Yolanda, & Jeannette; Your protection and guidance for Natan, Kyle, and our soldiers, be with their wives and families during their deployments; give jobs and favor to those who are in the workplace; Your comfort for Frank and Karen. Bring Your peace to Jerusalem. In Your Powerful Name, we pray.”
Hallelujah:

I have not been able to find the right attorney. Now, the D.A. is deciding if this is a civil case, or bad enough to be a criminal case. Meanwhile, it is the start of the rainy season here.
