“O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!”
Psalms 8:1-9 (KJV)
As we pray let us always pray with the glory of the LORD in our hearts and minds.

Recently I requested prayer of all who come to this Prayer Requests site to pray for the provision of my Dad’s need for $1,500 dollars to cover the remainder of the cost of a prosthetic leg.
Thank you all for your prayers, because God has answered with utmost precision. When Dad went to the doctor on Friday October 19, to be prepared for the prosthetic, the remainder of the expenses was 1,511 dollars and a few cents. With a yard sale and donations for them they had received 1,515 dollars for this purpose.
Who do we praise, and offer thanksgiving? To the one true and living God, manifested in His Son Jesus Christ. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Thanks all.
T.A.

Father, YOU have written in YOUR Word that “Forever O Lord, Thy Word is settled in heaven”, and that is what I am trusting and believing. YOU are God. There is no other. All that others call gods are the figments of human imagination, and the imaginations of unredeemed man is wicked and vile.
YOU are holy, just, and righteous. YOU have loved us, the people of YOUR creation. People who YOU created after YOUR image and in YOUR likeness. Yet, we have sinned, and because of our sin have fallen short of YOUR glory. Save all, Lord, who have called on YOUR holy name, trusting the sacrificial death of YOUR holy Son Jesus on the cross.
Father, Lord of Lights; Savior, Sustainer, Redeemer, Lord, Master, YOU alone are worthy of praise. When I see the clear blue sky I know YOU have made it for my good. When I see the clouds of the storm roll across the sky, and begin to build into a loud, thunderous, lightning filled roaring thunderstorm, I hear YOU say, “The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked the LORD hath His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet” (Nahum 1:3 KJV). By that I know Lord, that YOU are in control.
Lord, though I do not understand every situation, every tragedy, I know and believe that YOU alone direct the affairs of men, and YOU have YOUR way in our hearts. We don’t always like or appreciate that, and there are many who argue and debate against that, but that makes no difference, because YOU will have YOUR way with us all.
All those who are wicked will be turned into judgment, and those whom YOU have called Righteous through YOUR Son Jesus will be joined with YOU in glory.
Father, my requests is that many will hear YOUR voice today, and come out of darkness into the wonderful and glorious light or our Savior. May they see Jesus – the innocent, pure, sinless, undefiled – lifted up on that cross taking the judgment of our sins from YOUR own hand. It way YOUR hand Father, which struck YOUR own Son in our behalf, making reconciliation with YOU possible. We owed YOU the price for sin. We sinned against YOU, and the price was to be paid in full. It was either our death, or the death of the Mediator – Jesus Christ – who willingly lay down His life into YOUR hands. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Father, convict and convince people of sin today. Convict and convince people of Jesus’s sacrificial death for our sins. Lead many to repentance and to salvation through the crucified, buried, and resurrected Lord Jesus Christ. Thank YOU for the promise that Jesus is returning someday. His return will not be as a baby in a crib, but as the resurrected Lord of lords, and King of kings; then, this earth will be His in power and glory.
Bless the name of Jesus. In His name. AMEN.
