I have unspoken prayer requests. God knows our problems, our cares, and what should be done. If it isn't God's will. Than it isn't good for us. God bless any and all who pray for me. May each one see and know that God cares for them. Please pray for my family also. Thank you and God bless each and everyone. --- Betty

Please pray for my marriage. My husband is leaving me after Christmas. And I want nothing more than for my marriage to work. Please pray that he will see it in his heart to stay and make this family work. We married for life and that is what I want it to be. --- Terry

DEPENDING ON FAITH

He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering." Mark 5:34

Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast on August 28, 2005. One of the casualties of that storm was White Dove Fellowship International Outreach Center in Harvey, Louisiana. Harvey is located some 4 feet above sea level and there was heavy damage to the entire city. Reverend Michael Mille pastors White Dove Fellowship. Services were suspended at their facility for three weeks until September 18. He then preached to 300 people during the first service after the hurricane. His church normally had over 3,000 in attendance. During an emotional sermon, Reverend Mille offered a unique, Christian perspective on the tragedy and how it had affected his congregation, saying: "We have successfully planted people all over the U.S." He also noted, "We used to sing Jesus is all we need and now he's all we've got."

Are you at the end of your strength? Then turn to Jesus and trust in His strength. Today in prayer, stop trusting in you and place your faith where it never fails, in Jesus Christ.

Have you ever been in a situation that seemed so hopeless, so impossible, that you felt that even God Himself, might not be able to handle it? At this moment, there are marriages that are in serious trouble, relationships are damaged, businesses about to go bankrupt, finances going south and a plethora of other seemingly impossible situations that discourage us enough to want to quit. But giving up has never been and never will be God's answer to any impossible situation. As a matter of fact, it's only when things turn impossible that God does His best work.

Michael Mille

God's Word: Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment.
Matthew 9:22

FISHERS OF MEN

Come, follow me, Jesus said, and I will make you fishers of men. Mark 1:17

On a Sunday in July 2001, Jens Oveson, age 60, was fishing for salmon in central Norway's Gaula River. The river is about 220 miles north of the capital, Oslo. Suddenly, he was swept away by a strong current. Kjell Wilhelmsen, 55, spotted the man's struggle. Wilhelmsen was a veteran fisherman who had fished the river for 25 years and knew where the current would carry Ovesen. Wilhelmsen ran across a bridge, waiting for Ovesen as the current carried him downriver. Wilhelmsen later told a newspaper, "He seemed paralyzed. Only his face and the tips of his boots were above water. I decided to start casting." His homemade lure hooked Ovesen's rubber waders on the first cast of about ten yards. But Oveson weighed 246 pounds. Wilhelmsen used every fishing trick he knew to reel in the big man without breaking his light fishing line. He landed the half-conscious Jens and hauled him onto the shore. Oveson survived the ordeal. ``I can thank Kjell for my life,'' Jens told reporters Newsmen tried to interview jell Wilhelmsen soon after the incident, but he had gone fishing.

Nothing is more precious in God's sight than the souls of men and women. That's why He laid down His life. Today in prayer, ask the Lord how you can be more effective at bringing people to Jesus and then act on that insight that He gives.

There is no joy in all the world like the joy of bringing one soul to Christ.

--William Barclay

God's Word: For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon's partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men. Luke 5:9-10
