Prayer Requests and Praises

 | 

UPDATE! I'm moving the prayer requests page to our congregation's blog to make it easier to update requests and praises in a timely fashion. You can still email your requests to me, but they won't appear on this page, which I'll eventually take down. Find the new prayer request page at the Congregation Shema Yisrael blog.

Prayer Request! Always, always pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the safety of the nation created solely by our God. Never forget Psalm 137:5-6

Praise! We praise the Lord our God and His Son Yeshua our Messiah and Savior for our lives and our salvation every day!

Prayer Request! John Santa Cruz asks for prayer for his business which is struggling. May the Lord God give John His providence in supporting his family.

Prayer Request! Darlene has asked for prayer for Teddi Jones. She has suffered many medical difficulties and is currently recovering from congestive heart failure after a bad case of the flu. This has left her heart very weak and Teddi, formerly a "very young 70", is feeling discouraged. Please pray that God will grant Teddi a complete healing of her body and spirit.

Prayer Request! Joe and Karen in Tennessee are struggling financially. Joe hasn't worked in 2 months and Karen doesn't bring in enough to support the family. Please pray that the Almighty in His infinite compassion will provide for them.

Prayer Request! Diana asks for prayer for the continued healing of her relationship with her friend. She states in part, "May God bless our friendship, my friend and me, heal any brokenness in our lives or between us". Diana also asks that her husband Scott find work soon. May the God of Heaven hear the pleadings of her heart, be with her, and grant her His Blessings. Update: I got an email from Diana on November 22nd saying that her husband is now attending a job search support group. While he hasn't found employment as yet, the support is very helpful. Diana also said that she and her friend are in the process of reconciling and the healing of their relationship is progressing. Praise God for His blessings and compassion.

Prayer Request! Rachelle Levi, the wife of Rabbi Haim Levi in Florida, has had surgery again on her heart valve. We received an email on November 2nd from Rabbi George Quinn: "Shalom and thanks for the prayers. I received a call that Rachelle was in recovery. In the natural she had slim to no chance but all the tubes are out and she is in recovery now. Baruch Hashem! May she heal speedily."

Prayer Request! Rosalee asks for prayer for her husband Jess. He has steadily been losing his sight and has been undergoing medical treatments. May Hashem grant him a complete healing from heaven. Also pray for Rosalee's brother Chuck who is rapidly declining due to cancer, and her mother who recently suffered cardiac rhythm problems.

Prayer Request! Please continue to pray for IDF Soldier Gilad Shalit, who was kidnapped over 3 years ago by Palestinian terrorists and is being held hostage is Gaza. May the Almighty grant mercy to this young man and have him released from his captors. While there have been notices in the news that he may be released soon, his life is in the hands of God and none other. May the Lord of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob be with this young soldier always.

Prayer Request! Pray for the United States of America, that the Almighty will guide our leaders and our nation in these troubled times.

Prayer Request Pray for all of the people and families that have been hit hard in our current economy, including Patrick Sevy and his family.

Praise! Our congregation continues to be blessed by our Creator with a long-term place of worship. The Almighty is always faithful to His children and His servants.

Praise! We continue to praise our Creator for each and every day of our lives, our redemption through the sacrifice of "the Lamb of God", and for each Shabbat we meet together and worship as a community.

Praise! Praises to God for my son David, his wife Kim, and my grandson Landon James. Blessed be the Almighty for this wonderful addition to the family. Please pray that God watches over them and provides Shalom for them. My God also watch over David, a U.S. Marine, while he's deployed

Prayer Request! Create a pure heart for me, O God and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:12
