Happy Friday, Friends! I hope you are having a lovely week.
What are your thoughts about this week's lesson?
I kept thinking about how the Bible encourages us to learn from God and be led by the Holy Spirit. This enables us to remain on level ground during the trials of life.
I enjoyed the visual from this week's Psalm about the bookends of "teach me"and "lead me" taken from Psalm 143:10. And as per usual, the prayer is OH! So helpful!
"....please give me the strength today to stop often and ask for your help and your guidance."~Page 75
Friends, we don't have to walk through the steep valleys alone. All we have to do is ask God's Spirit to lead us.
Below please find the scripture mentioned in this week's lesson.
Prayer Requests
- Carla would like for us to pray for the military build up at the door of Iran. Pray for our leaders to seek wisdom. Continue to pray for our military, our young men and women who are at that door waiting what orders might be coming. May God protect them.
- Rita's friend Pam needs our prayers because her cancer is stage four. She is in palliative care, yet still trying to live. UPDATE: Pam has a MRSA. Please pray for her throughout the day whenever you think of praying.
- Pray for Kris's son-in-law Tim. UPDATE: Pray that conditions will improve at work for Tim. Tim and Jen put their home up for sale. Pray for them as they prepare for this big move.
- Carla has an extended family member stationed in Kuwait named Haley. She is her cousin Steve's daughter. Please pray for her safety!
- Carla's Sam has several Wisconsin Guard friends stationed in Kuwait and Iraq. Sam had an update for us from his teammates who are currently deployed in the war zone. Please be in prayer, they have been bombed several times. Continue to pray for safety.

- Happy Mother's Day to y'all, and I hope you have a blessed day on Sunday!
Sometimes I like to put together themes for these posts.
Today's theme is matcha. I want to learn how to make matcha drinks at home.
Have a great weekend!
Until next time...
Blessings!

Happy Friday, prayer warriors. I dont know if it's a product of aging, but in the past several years I feel like I have learned more about how God intends for me to be of service, and helping family and close friends has been at the forefront, whether it's financial matters, navigating health matters, or just being available. It was on my mind while reading this week's psalm. It's a privilege to feel the responsibility and be able to act on it.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Mother's Day weekend, everyone.
Please keep my family in prayer for travel mercies this week.
