Chris Baker :: Some Guy and His Mac » prayer request http://www.someguyandhismac.com My rambling of thoughts. Tue, 15 Jun 2010 05:39:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 The sparrow. http://www.someguyandhismac.com/2009/03/02/the-sparrow/ http://www.someguyandhismac.com/2009/03/02/the-sparrow/#comments Mon, 02 Mar 2009 08:00:20 +0000 Chris http://www.someguyandhismac.com/2009/03/02/the-sparrow/ It’s 12:30 at night. I’m laying in bed just thinking about life. Not sure why I’m wide awake, but I am. Perhaps it’s the frappacino I had tonight at starbucks. Anyway. I guess what is on my mind is how God has brought me to where I am over the past 6 months or so. Moving to CO, forming new friendships, life changes I’ve needed to make and how He has carried me so far. Even to the point of providing me a job in which I feel completely blessed to have. I believe it was a miracle and act of blessing.
However because of economic hardships, my place of employment is having to face some hard realities. I am not sure what this means specifically for me, but my heart yearns and cries out for all within this organization. It’s honestly going to be a hard week for all as some changes will happen. Things will be different. I might not have a job come tomorrow.
I know God is in control. I seem to find no sense in praying for His will to be done, because it’s going to be done regardless of me. I just pray that I give Him the glory. I pray that as he takes care of the sparrow, He will take care of me.
These are difficult days for a lot of people. It’s been amazing the faith we have demonstarted in money, in jobs, in our president. It’s a false faith.
Matthew 6 reminds us that God will take care of us, that we should not worry about tomorrow as today had enough trouble. One can only move ahead knowing that God is faithful in meeting outlr needs. Not out wants and selfish desires.
Please pray for me, my place of work, the leadership and the decisions they must make. It going to be a hard and stressful week. Uplift this ministry and the impact it has on this nation, this world.

I’ve seen this done on other blogs and wanted to do it here.  I am spending Monday and Tuesday in some concentrated prayer times through out the days, and wanted to pray for you guys and gals who read my blog…whoever you might be.  Please don’t be shy and not respond.  Be anonymous if you must, but I am looking for pray requests that I can pray for you about.  So if you are reading this on my blog, or on Facebook please respond and share some requests that I can pray for you about.  It can be anything.  I’d love this opportunity to pray for you and if I know how to pray specifically, that would be much better!  Let me know!

James 5:13-16

Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

Anyway a big prayer request at the moment is for employment.  Pray that God would provide.  Pray for these new relationships and friendships that I am forming as well.  

 

I’ll write more soon.  Hope you all are doing swell.

(not mine :) ) http://www.someguyandhismac.com/2008/06/17/prayer-requestbaby-on-the-way-not-mine/ http://www.someguyandhismac.com/2008/06/17/prayer-requestbaby-on-the-way-not-mine/#comments Tue, 17 Jun 2008 10:00:01 +0000 Chris http://www.someguyandhismac.com/?p=151 If you are reading this…hopefully its before 7 AM EST.  But I just wanted to throw a quick prayer request out there for my two friends Danny and Cassie in Chattanooga, TN.  At 7 AM EST, Cassie will be going into surgery to have a c-section performed. Their son, Cade, will be born as there are some concerning issues that would cause problems having birth the natural way. So if you are up…pray for Danny and Cassie.  Pray for the doctors, and for a healthy birth of their son.  It will be a long day for all involved.  Thanks much.

 

***Update***

Not sure of all the details, but it looks like the little guy came early.  3:21 AM @ 7lbs 1/2oz and 19.5 inches.  Congrats Danny and Cassie!
