IDOK DEVOTION FOR MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2009
It has been a full ‘Sweetheart’ weekend; I over slept and am way, way off schedule this morning. So lets count our blessings, pray over some folks and win this day.
This comes from Emma: Please ask everyone to pray for little Jackson and his mother, Jacqueline who is mentally and physically exhausted, along with a lot of other things going on in her life. She called me and ask that we pray for him. He was a “preemie” and has had more health problems than a little boy should have to have. He had to fight to live from the “beginning”. He has been diagnosed with Cornelia Delange Syndrone which is so rare that we had to look it up! This is a very sad situation. She is a young Christian and struggles every day. It seems the devil stays at her heels!
This Comes from Daphne and I am paraphrasing: The name of the lady is being withheld. She will be in court on March 9 and it will be a heart rending time for her. She does not profess Christian Faith. She has much sadness in her life. She has many needs. The greatest of her needs is to KNOW Jesus as Savior and Lord. However, to get her to the place that her heart can say YES to Jesus may take time and more encounters with Christians who are willing to love on her in His Name. So that is for what I would like us to pray. Daphne says: As the trial date fast approaches March 9, I would ask that we remember her in prayer.
Psalm 145:
17 The Lord is [rigidly] righteous in all His ways and gracious and merciful in all His works.
18 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him sincerely and in truth.
Father God, thank You that You have heard our prayers already this morning. Thank You for dear ones offering them. Thank You for redemption. And Holy Spirit, we pray for wisdom and motivation to win this day in Jesus name. And in His Name and Merits we pray for Jacqueline and her sons, particularly Jackson, this request is too deep and too wide for us to fathom it. Too much to get our words around to adequately describe the anguish she must be experiencing and all the details that goes along with this, including medical expenses and just day to day living. So LORD we pray for physical strength and renewing of her mind and spirit. And we pray for practical helps to come in from sources all around to meet needs of food, shelter, laundry, transportation, whatever she and the boys need bring provisions to her we pray.
And for this woman of sadness who as far as we know has not met You LORD, we pray for Your Saints to step into her life with ‘bread’ that will feed her Your Truth and that she will see You and love You. We pray that You will be all over this March 9 court appearance and it too will be a healing place for her.
And we pray for each other, for each IDOK and our families; for sick babies that we ask You to make well; for families traveling, asking for their safe returns home; for friends and family living through illness and disease; for Christian churches to be well lighted lamps in communities all over the world; for our IDOK Troops to be protected in mind and body and spirit; for Bible studies and prayer times to be sweet and precious today; for meetings to be productive and seeds of LIFE to be planted in soil being made fertile by You Holy Spirit; for spouses and children to be healed and parents and grandparents to be encouraged and wise in their words and actions; for children to be honest and repentant; and anything in the lives of any one of these that we have missed LORD, bring it on for Your Glory and their good. Thank You for loving us, redeeming us, correcting us and growing us up. Amen and amen. Unspoken Requests – situations so close you can only speak to Father about. Woman of Sadness. Jeanette.
