Once upon a time there was a woman who lived in a comfortable house.
She had many, many blessings but to her not much clout.
One busy day she questioned why it was that prosperity had been such a flirt.
And so, frustrated and pondering, she filled the tub with jeans and shirts.
Licking her wounds and applying pity to her hurts,
All of a sudden from her own mouth came a blurt — I just want to succeed, at something!
Hardly before her words fell on her ears, came His gentle but oh so pointed probes.
Why little girl? Do you know? Why for success you are craving so?
Holy and comforting tears began to flow as she saw what she had not seen before.
He had measured the recognition and the gain; it caused Him pain that He could not give more.
Sighing resignations the ‘little girl’ ceased to lament;
Glory, hallelujah! She received ABBA’s lavish love and now she’s content!
11 For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
12 O Lord of hosts, blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts in You [leaning and believing on You, committing all and confidently looking to You, and that without fear or misgiving]!

We have an prayer opportunity, an unusual one. I don’t think I have ever heard of such a condition. Our Sister IDOK Martha is our source on this one: Emily is a ninth grader who has had hiccups for more than 2 years. In part this is what Martha said: “The Drs. Can’t seem to find out why. Just recently she has started fainting with the hiccups getting worse. The family is at a very high stress level. The child, who I think is now in the ninth grade, has missed so much school because she has had to be in the nursing station a lot of the time. I just felt we needed to lift them up from our group. I felt the need to write you and ask our IDOKS to pray for her especially and her family as a whole. There are four people in the immediate family. Thanks for this wonderful place to have others intercede for one another.”
You are more gracious than we can receive. Thank You ABBA. LORD, what about Emily? I cannot imagine what that child has suffered and her family too. And to be two plus years into it and still have no answers from doctors, no remedy yet. But You have a remedy and we are asking You to grant recovery and give it to Emily and minister grace and strength and courage and peace to her family too. Thank You. And we pray for others, all these others listed here, spoken and unspoken, we want what You want for these and we pray You will align each of them with Your Will and bring Your Will to pass. Keep our IDOK Troops safe today, make sure they are fed from Your Word today, give them gifts of laughter and fellowship today. Comfort their families and bring others alongside to meet their needs. Protect Israel, give Your People all that You desire. Forgive America and bring us to repentance. Prepare Angela, Linda, Deborah and Mark to bow and then stand back with open hearts, minds and mouths to hear and feed us when we gather ‘In Times Like These’. You know our needs and You know the needs of every woman ordained to come to the conference. Clear the way, make the path doable, meet with us and turn us every way but loose. Gift us with worship and then receive the worship we give. Draw and bring up women from this conference that will from this conference forward live life on purpose and please, please let me be one of them. Myself and the others on the team, keep us focused on the goal of sharing Your Word with hungry women and LORD bring the hungry and the thirsty and fill them and us up to overflowing.
