Challenges for Prayer

Christian values in society are challenged by offshore finance with its frequent money laundering, by tourism with its increasing licentiousness and by illegal drug trafficking. Pray that churches might address these through holy living and genuine faith.
The inflow of immigrants – most are illegal and from Haiti. They are poised to outnumber natives, or “Belongers”. Pray that believers might meet these newcomers with biblical love and share with them the gospel.
     For an additional Challenge for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.

A Fresh Word Form Gary

Food for thought:
We are coming to the understanding that Jesus was most likely born during the the feast of tabernacles (or feast of booths celebrated on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei, late September to late October.) and it is quite possible that Jesus was born in a sukkot thus the reason for not being inside in a room. As we wrap our heads around this and understand more about this let's -- let all the fussing about Christmas to the ones that will be "left holding the bag". Remember: Knowledge will be increased in the last days.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus - Newsboys

Sorrow? Pain? Lonely? Hurt? Fear? Jesus is the Answer. Just look at Him and ask Him to help you. He will never fail you. Don't turn your back on Him, but turn your eyes upon Jesus, the crucified and risen Lord...

Psalm 88 (with text - press on more info.)

Psalm 88 (New International Version)

Psalm 88

A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah. For the director of music. According to mahalath leannoth. A maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.

1[a] [b] O LORD, the God who saves me, day and night I cry out before you.
2 May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry.

3 For my soul is full of trouble and my life draws near the grave. [c]

4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like a man without strength.

5 I am set apart with the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more, who are cut off from your care.

6 You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.

7 Your wrath lies heavily upon me; you have overwhelmed me with all your waves. Selah

8 You have taken from me my closest friends and have made me repulsive to them. I am confined and cannot escape;

9 my eyes are dim with grief. I call to you, O LORD, every day; I spread out my hands to you.

10 Do you show your wonders to the dead? Do those who are dead rise up and praise you? Selah

11 Is your love declared in the grave, your faithfulness in Destruction [d] ?

12 Are your wonders known in the place of darkness, or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?

13 But I cry to you for help, O LORD; in the morning my prayer comes before you.

14 Why, O LORD, do you reject me and hide your face from me?

15 From my youth I have been afflicted and close to death; I have suffered your terrors and am in despair.

16 Your wrath has swept over me; your terrors have destroyed me.

17 All day long they surround me like a flood; they have completely engulfed me.

18 You have taken my companions and loved ones from me; the darkness is my closest friend.
