Petitionary Prayer: April 4

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.

• One think I’ve asked  this morning is that God give wisdom to the members of my church as they vote on an important matter this coming Sunday.
  
• missmellifluous is praying

  for a friend of mine who is currently in intensive care. He is very sick. I have no words, only tears. I ask that God heals Him physically and draws close to him spiritually. Also thank God for my precious niece and her safe delivery on the first day of April. I ask that she will grow to love Him always!! I ask this for my children too. :) I ask that God blesses you and your petitionary prayer month and all who come to Him with their requests.

• Kim of Hiraeth is having a heart procedure done today and she is praying 

  that whether wildly successful, or even if unsuccessful, that I am content in the knowledge that everything that comes my way comes from the hand of One who knows me and knows exhaustively everything I need.

  She would appreciate it if you prayed for her today, too.
  
• Kim of the Upward Call is praying for her children

  that they be drawn to know God’s Word; to hear it, read it, study it, meditate upon it, and allow it to shape their hearts and minds.

• Update: Chris Roath is praying for little Mario who has liver disease and is in the hospital.

What about you? What are you praying for today?

What are we specially taught by these words before me in the first commandment?

These words before me, or before my face, in the first commandment, teach us, that God, who seeth all things, taketh special notice of, and is much displeased with, the sin of having any other God: that so it may be an argument to dissuade from it, and to aggravate it as a most impudent provocation:[1] as also to persuade us to do as in his sight,: Whatever we do in his service.[2]
