Devotions @ 3 on 9-23-18

3 a.m. prayer:
Most gracious heavenly Father,
The Bible’s book of Proverbs continues: right vs. wrong. “The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, but the treacherous will be caught by their own greed” (Proverbs 11:6). (Righteousness not only guides good men; it will deliver them from seen and unseen dangers. Those who reject the faith will be caught in the snares of their own lust and greed.) Those who do right are saved by their righteousness. Have a blessed Sunday. *****
//Standing Prayer: Always remembering our country, for restoration, our continued peace, and freedom; we ask that You grant wisdom and guidance to those who are in authority, and we pray; and for the protection of our men and women who are on the battlefield, we pray. Lord, heal our land, we pray. There are people in other parts of the world who need protection and relief as they are surrounded by war and poverty; also in need of rescue are Christians who are being persecuted, and we pray.
And so we begin, “Just for Today”: For anyone who has no hope , we pray.
*>NEW Prayer Requests: *> It’s Sunday, and as pastors across our land prepare to preach the Word, we ask a hedge of protection be placed around them, and that their congregations be protected from harm this day, and we pray. *> A dear mother-in-law requests prayer for her son-in-law who was hurt yesterday in a racing accident. He is in surgery this morning having rods put in his back, and we pray. *> A wife prays for her husband who has an upcoming 4th surgery on his eye. Too, he continues to suffer from Afib, and we pray. *> A busload of veterans is leaving tomorrow for a trip out west, and for their safety, we pray.

//Travel Mercies: **<>This is an ongoing prayer request for all who are on the highways and byways. Lord, we ask that You daily keep our travelers safe from harm, and we pray.
For these and the many unspoken requests we pray all in Jesus name. Lord bless our homes. AMEN
