"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to
do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love. We
love because he first loved us." ~John 4:18-19

We can avoid fear as we would a plague. Fear, even the smallest fear, is a
hacking at the cords of faith that bind us to God. However small the
fraying, in time those cords can wear thin, and then one disappointment or
shock can make them snap. But for the little fears, the cords of faith
could have held firm. We can avoid depression, which is allied to fear. We
can turn to God and receive God's care and protection.

I pray that I may have such trust in God today that I will not fear anything
too greatly. I pray that I may have assurance that God will take care of me
in the long run.

Bee asks prayers that her husband can receive a medical release from his
doctor so that he can return to work soon. Ivy asks prayers for a special
intention. Member asks prayer for young grandson diagnosed with child onset
schizophrenia and great grama who broke hip today.
Jim requests prayers for someone who has brain cancer and may be dying, and
for his family. Frieda asks prayers for someone who needs help in school. A
member requests prayers for her brother-in-law who is having a 3-4 hour
operation to repair a hernia and displaced stomach. A member requests
prayers for herself to be willing to let go of an addictive relationship and
hand it over to God.
We pray for unity in our country and that we may build a Culture of Life. We
pray for the safety of our troops, their safe return and their families at
home. We pray for a deep and profound respect for life, and for the courage
and willingness to stand up for life. We pray for one another, for those who
have asked our prayers and for those who need our prayers the most. Have a
good day!
