Prayer Requests

[Katy Hibbs]

We continued our study on the Lord's Prayer.  Rob spoke to us on Luke 11:5-13. 

Rob discussed the Prayer of Relinquishment:

1) Prayer of Emptiness- wait patiently and listen carefully

2) Prayer of Surrender- not my will, but Your will be done

3) Prayer of Release- give up your control to God

Prayer Requests:

Kerianne: Pray for Wes while he is deployed in Korea.

Chalon- Pray for her son Luke who is sick and pray for her friend Michelle who had a double mastectomy.

Rob brought us a great lesson from Luke 15 on the Parables of the Lost Sheep, Lost Coin, and Lost Son. Rob mentioned how the central theme in all 3 parables is GOD's JOY over the souls that are saved.  All 3 stories consisted of: Lost -> seeking -> finding -> restoring -> rejoicing. This was a difficult message for the Pharisee's and Scribes to hear. Luke 15: 7 states, "I tell you that in the same way there will be MORE rejoicing in heaven over ONE sinner who repents than over ninety-nine RIGHTEOUS persons who do not need to repent."  Let's not be of the same mindset as the Pharisee's and Scribes and remember we need to REPENT.

Prayer Requests:

- Chalon: Pray for her friend Tiffany's little boy who has cystic fibrosis.

- Nathan & Meredith Adams: Pray for them and precious Gabe as he goes back to his grandpa next week. 

- Casey: Pray for her and her stress level at school. She received a new student in her class last Fri. and needs prayer for strength during this stressful time.
