Though the Lord is high, yet he has respect to every lowly, humbled sinner; but the proud and unbelieving will be banished far from his blissful presence. Divine consolations have enough in them to revive us, even when we walk in the midst of troubles.

And God will save his own people that they may be revived by the Holy Spirit, the Giver of life and holiness.

If we give to God the glory of his mercy, we may take to ourselves the comfort. This confidence will not do away, but quicken prayer.

Whatever good there is in us, it is God works in us both to will and to do. The Lord will perfect the salvation of every true believer, and he will never forsake those whom he has created anew in Christ Jesus unto good works.

Special Prayers Requested



A family in need of prayer has been brought to my attention - first by my daughter, Elizabeth and then by Pastor Craig at church on Sunday. Elizabeth had heard about this family through her Home School Loop and then discovered that she had graduated high school with the Dad, Rocky!


You can read their story here - about baby Jace, who suddenly stopped breathing on December 10 and remains hospitalized today. They are a young family with a firm belief in God and in the power of prayer. Please pray for Jace, the family and the medical staff caring for him. Please also pass along the link to other "Prayer Warriors" you know who will lift them in prayer before our God!

  1. I'm finally getting caught up on all my favorite blog friends. I'm so glad to hear that you had a great Christmas. I'm also glad to hear that you didn't suffer any damage to your home and that your family are all safe and sound after that horrible storm.

    I will be praying for Jace. I tried to visit his site and was not able to get there to check up on him. How is he doing?

    You are a wonderful prayer warrior, thank you for your prayers, I pray God will richly bless you for you faithfulness.

    Love in Christ,
    Sue
