Constant prayer, day 9
Topic: Prayer

Our church is studying/using the guide for the Ten Days of Constant Prayer in preparation for Pentecost Sunday, which is in 2 days!

Today's prayer emphasis:

For Christ to bring substantial healing.

In His Church:
*That God would move amoung the sick around the world to bring physical healing. Acts 5:14-16
*That Christians would act withpersistet compassion to work for the eradication of diseases.
*For Christians to be engaged in providing basic health care where needs are great.

In the world:
*For the END of HIV/AIDS in OUR generation. (wouldn't that be awesome? Our God IS an awesome God...please pray about this horrific epidemic) At this time 250,000 young people are infected every month.
*For basic health care for the most needy of our world. Over 30,000 children worldwide die daily from preventable diseases!

I am praying specifically today for some people I know in our church and community with serious illnesses...and for my father, who is suffering greatly with dementia. I think the ultimate healing for him would be to go to be with the Lord....and I would never say that lightly.

Amen, sister to praying for healing in the Church and the world.

I understand about your dad. I was the conservator for my dearest, sweetest favorite uncle who succumbed to senile dementia. It is a cruel, distressing way to finish out a life that was so full of joy and love.

I am glad I could go to the Lord after I spent time with him and then comforted my aunt as well. I was able to lay that burden at the feet of Jesus.

Cathee, thank you for telling me about your uncle. I wish I could lay this burden down, but so far I've still got it clutched.....and in turn it's got me clutched in it's grip. I'm so stressed out right now, I 'm about to pop! I hope this week he can get placed and the family will have a bit of relief for now.
