Prayer for Today, Thursday, March 29

God of All Seasons,

Springtime is exploding in our midst. The air is warm. The redbuds are blossoming. Plants are pushing their way through the earth toward the sunlight. This is a time of new birth and we give You thanks. We are on the cusp of Palm Sunday and the beginning of the most significant week in Christianity. Please forgive us, Gracious God, when we lack faithfulness. Bless us, we pray, as we reflect on the last days of Jesus life before his crucifixion and resurrection. Spring is a time to appreciate new life. Easter is a time to celebrate rebirth. In Jesus’ name we pray. AMEN.

Vera French is having a biopsy this morning at bass hospital. She should receive the results this afternoon. Please pray for Vera.

I received the following e-mail from Fig Newton: John,
I got a call from Kelly my daughter last night with some disturbing news.  My son-in-laws Uncle Jeff is in critical condition in a Kansas City hospital with a very bad heart condition.  He is scheduled for bypass surgery next week, and they hope he will make it that far.  Additionally an older sister of one of my granddaughter’s team mates on her soccer team has been missing for five days now.  The Bowen family in Mustang really needs our prayers for their daughter.  Thanks to all of our church family as I know you will all be praying for both of these situations.  Fig
