#01 Jan 4 Prayer Request & Praise Report

Psalm 141:2 “Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.”

Dorothy Callies: Tuesday noon on Dec. 23, I became very sick with bad colds in my lungs. It left me very weak for several days. I coughed badly. By Friday noon, I got angry and I pound my right hand on the big chair and said to myself and to demons, “there’s no way that me being older takes 3 to 4 weeks to get well?” This was quoted by Doctor to my deaf friend who were sick for 3 weeks with colds and coughs. “God, I am not going to accept that. Your Word promised strength and healing. I claimed it in Jesus’ name!” Saturday morning, I received strength and was able to work at Taco Bell with enough strength to last 3 hours. Then came home to rest a lot. Sunday morning, I helped Tony with master of ceremony. Sunday afternoon, I became weak, but felt good and nap as well. During the week, I struggled with weakness and pray for strength day by day. Prayer Request: I need your prayers for strength and to fight the colds in my lungs. Praise Report: I was surprised that I was able to do the devotion, “Sad and Tired.” I couldn’t figure out those strange feelings until I realized God needs our intercession. So I hope its okay to share some of your comments here.

Prayer request: Both Len and I. Have very bad cold since December 26 up to now, hacking cough and difficult breathing. Thank You Lord for bringing Your Healing flow upon others as well. Christine Mitchell 

Sara Smith of Colorado: I need request pray for my daughter of Alice and her family. Sara

Diane Musil Prayer Request for Depressed People from Dec. 26^th thru Jan. 25^th:

Greetings Dorothy! Very good devotional, power and hit real life to most. This devotional should be share to the lost, too! One thing, I thought I heard from last year or few years agao that “Jan. 25^th” one month after Christmas Day is the highest day people kill themselves due to no hope of Christmas and it is also the highest depression too. It makes sense cuz in Jan still some left over or left little gathering of the New Year or families come back from vacation trip so by Jan. 25^th it hit them, no more feelings left. More depression that leads to want to kill themselves. That is what I understood. But true on Dec. 26, Christmas is over, but I believe that each day takes time to become more depressed and become weary. Thank you for sharing with us. J Diane Musil

Betty Miller of Ottawa, CAN: Let you know that my colonoscopy results that the Doctor found out it was diverticular disease that causing the pains for so long.  Hope to see my family doctor soon as I understand the holidays was closed.   I will find out more information later.   That is the main now I know what is the causing the pain.  Means I cannot eat nuts & any seeds. Betty

Karen Tidd: Yes that fit me perfect.  I'm always sad.  So much bad things happening to me.  Nothing is good.  Need job, and God to guide me where I need to be and be strong put my life with Jesus.  Pray my chronic pain go away.  Thank you for share the story. Karen

Martha Clements’ news and need prayers: Ah, Dorothy, it is so true, sad and tired for most people, but Bill and I had a quiet, peaceful day on Christmas then bam, my kids came over and really caused a chaos in our apartment, eh eh! They sure came in a whirlwind and left in a whirlwind, too. sigh, they were so full of energy, my girls. My son left so pitiful he got sick and upset stomach caused by the medicine I gave him because he hurt his back so badly. He writhed and moaned so i gave him my medicine but I warned him be careful with them, and sure enough, he got an upset stomach so he left early. My poor son, pitiful thing! But he was happy to see us. But my girls, 39 years old and 16 1/2 years old full of energy left to go home for school, one as a pupil and another as a teacher. My son was 41 years old, a good boy, but they all need Jesus Christ for salvation. Pray for them, they probably felt sad and tired once they get home, but not me or Bill. We enjoyed Christmas and it was a wonderful time to celebrate Christ's birth as our Savior is born to come and save us from our sins, praise God! Amen! God bless you!
