Praise and Prayer Requests from Sunday Service of February 23

Bartimaeus Baptist Temple Posted on by

Much of what we are thankful for today comes with a need for more prayer attached.  Pray for our church.

Tim was cleared for his surgery and if I understood correctly will be having it today.  The service for Cathy’s grandson went well.  Keep praying for the family.  Kelly appears to have found an apartment, but there have been other developments since then regarding the situation at the Potts’ home.  All I will say right now is that they all need our prayers and support.  Debra rejoices in being able to be here.  Ruth has had only one fainting incident in the past 2.5 weeks.

Priscilla is getting better but still has several weeks of therapy remaining.  Her doctor has to clear her to drive.  Keep praying for Dede.  Pray for our country and our state as we continue the process of choosing our leadership.  Keep praying for Don as he approaches the necessity of beginning dialysis.  Debra prays for safe travel for her stepfather as he returns home.  Brenda asks prayer for Kelly’s friend Kelly.  We want him to come to Jesus.

Be blessed to be a blessing this week!

I apologize for taking so long to put these up.  It was a rough weekend followed by a busy workweek.  But the good thing is I am recovering nicely.  Thank the Lord.

So, as is our custom, we begin with thanksgiving.  Edith was thankful for a good night’s rest and no pain.  April had a good day with her church and the Dallas Christian Fellowship of the Blind that met here on Saturday night.  Cindy is thankful that her water heater was repaired with the help of family.  Cathy and Ruth had a good week.

Keep Priscilla in prayer as recovery from her surgery is painful.  Edith asks prayer over a difficult situation at work.  April asks prayer for herself and her family situation.  Brenda asks for prayer as she works on getting healthier.  Keep the household in prayer.  Remember the family of Ramona Wilson who attended the church that used to meet here in the morning.  She has passed away.  Pray for my family as my grandmother went to be with Jesus on Saturday.  Keep Jim S. in your prayers as his recovery from heart valve surgery has been difficult.

Join with us in prayer and in Praising God for what He has done.

Pray for Priscilla.  She was not at church because of pain from a torn shoulder and since then I have learned that she fell and messed up her ankle.  She is in a boot and will have surgery for the shoulder on Tuesday morning.  Cathy had a list.  Pray for her cousin Joe from Louisiana who is in the hospital for medical testing that includes a spinal tap.  The other Joe we prayed for last week has had complications after his surgery.  Pray for Ruth’s cousin Carlton who was thought to have had a heart attack last week and will be undergoing testing.  Pray for Cathy’s high school friend Teresa with medical problems.  Cindy asks prayer for her grandson Damon as he enters military service.  They hope to be well enough to visit him in a few weeks.  April prays for people suffering from flu.  She also asks prayer for the families of those involved in recent shootings.  Cathy specifically mentioned those from the one in our area.  Dede’s shoulders are hurting her and she asks prayer for her eyes.  Keep Shelly in your prayers.  Keep praying over the needs at the Potts’ household.  Pray for Linda’s brother Jim.  He is looking for a job in line with his career choice and we are also praying for much greater things.

April is thankful for the church and for inner healing.  Ruth had a much better week.  We’re thankful to be here to worship the Lord.
