Petitionary Prayer: April 18

This month’s theme here at Rebecca Writes is petitionary prayer. On Tuesdays and Fridays throughout April, I’ll be posting one request I am making of God, and I’m inviting you to join me. You’ll find all the details here.

 

• Today I prayed for two people who are have very serious illnesses. I prayed for healing, but I also prayed that God draw them closer to him and give them (and their families) strength to face whatever is coming their way. 
• Update: Dorothy asks that “God would keep me sensitive to His gentle whisper in my days.”
• Update 2: Jane has been praying for a “boy in my daughter’s second grade class has been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease. It’s in stage IV. I have been asking the Lord to heal this boy and sustain his family.”
• Update 3: Lisa is praying

  for a family that lost there mother this week. She drowned in the bathtub while she was having a seizure. No one was home at the time. Her children attend my children’s small Christian school. It is a university-model school in which the children go to school 2 times a week and then the mother homeschools them with the material they learned at the school on the other 3 days. This tragedy happened on a homeschool day… the next day was to be a school day. Instead, the family attended her memorial service this morning. There are 2 children, a kindergartener and a 1st grader. They are an incredible Christian family. Please pray for them.

What are you praying for today?

In life outside my desktop, we’ve been pushed back into winter for a couple of days. But not here, in this little corner of my world.

Sandwich Assembly

You’ll find lots of excellent sandwich ideas in the recipes collected in this month’s Recipe Round Up at Fieldstone Cottage.

Dorothy says she’ll be updating her Round Up post throughout the day, so it’s not too late for you to contribute your sandwich recipe, too. She says,

just send me the links to your recipes in the comments to this post or my original post with the guidelines. And don’t forget the exciting drawing sponsored by our very own Rebecca. Everyone who participates is eligible!

Thanks to Dorothy for hosting the Recipe Round Up this month. If you would like to host a Recipe Round Up, too, the coming months are wide open for volunteers. Just let me know that you’d like to help out in the comments of this post. If you are unsure what hosting involves, here’s the page with all the info you need.
