Prayer Letter

Hello everyone,

I am trusting that you are well. Having said that, I am aware of a number of people who are not well and others having real battles in their lives at the moment. Please join me in Prayer for people known and unknown to you, who are having problems. Thank you.

It is holiday time, but what of the holidays that have been arranged with all the uncertainty, with or without children… I do hope and Pray that arrangements can be made for you and your family; it is essential you have a break.

We are still holding early morning Prayer Meetings in our Church on Zoom and have done so since Lockdown started. Last week the Pastor who was leading the Time of Prayer read from Psalm 139 verses 23 and 24.

                                        ²³ Search me, God, and know my heart;
                            Test me and know my anxious thoughts.
                                      ²⁴ See if there is any offensive way in me,
                               And lead mein the way everlasting.

As he started to read this passage, the word “Search” stayed with me. God does this sort of thing to me regularly.  “You need to think about this Lass, hang in there; as I want this in the PL”, kind of comes through from My Heavenly Father at the time.

“Search” is a big word in your vocabulary as Police. Looking for lost people, drugs, money, criminals and seeking out evidence.  How important it is for justice to be done and seen to be done by yourselves. To make a better world for all of us.

God wants us to be Shining Lights for Him, sorting out those parts of us that do not Bless Him and in turn to bring Light and Love into the lives around us.

God Bless you and use you for His Purposes this week.

Many Blessings In Him and His Love

Alice.

Hello Everyone,

I trust you are well.

Below is information I have been asked to share with you for Prayer from an Off-Duty Officer.

“The attacker was a stranger, unprovoked, in broad daylight. Please pray for my confidence to return when out and about especially in the area where the attack happened/my partner lives there and is my second home. My partner is currently having to walk me to the car when I visit and I will not go out alone in the area. Very unlike me as I love walking and cycling independently.

Prayers for my stiff neck and shoulder, peaceful sleep and mental health to improve as feeling understandably negative towards society at the moment, where as I am normally a very loving person. For justice to prevail and in time for help with a forgiving heart towards the suspects. With gratitude to my partner, son for their support. Praise the Lord for sending me help at the time I needed it during the attack, it could have been a lot worse. Prayers also for the off-duty Officer who assisted me and got spat at.”

Last week I shared with you verses from Isaiah Chapter 40. In verse 28 it states:

“The Lord, who is the Everlasting God; created the Heavens and the Earth”.

The following verses tell us that –

“We will renew our strength, we will run and not grow weary, we will walk and not faint, because we hope in The Lord”.

During this last week I discovered the following –

The Astronomer Carl Sagan said that there were more stars in our Universe than grains of sand on the Earth’s beaches.

An amazing Creator God and He loves us.

May you be Blest this week by Our Mighty God.

Hello Everyone,

Continuing to trust that you are well.

Thank you most sincerely, for all you are and do. Appreciation and Admiration.

Last week I was part of a Police Prayer Meeting where we shared how we really felt. We all knew where we were in God, but we felt that we were “Damaged” from the way we have to constantly live at the moment and have been doing so for many weeks. Feeling weary, was also mentioned.

I was reminded at the time of these verses, from Isaiah 40 28-31:

Do you not know? Have you not heard?

The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

Even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall.

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles.

They will run and not grow weary.

They will walk and not be faint.

“He created the Heavens and the Earth” and He created you.

I Pray that this coming week you will be able to live in the ‘Ability’ of your Heavenly Father.

Blessings.

Alice. 

Hello Everyone,

Yet another week still inside lockdown, which adds to the weight and stress to your work. I truly admire you all and again a “Very Big Thank You” for all you are and all you do.

Tomorrow is the 20^th June, so if you are able to do so, 20.20 hours for 20 minutes, praying with Hope UK.

Continued Prayer for Luke please. Still no answers from the Medics. Has to step down from work when not feeling well. “He needs healing Lord please”.

I want to share with you something I have chosen to do – not frequently but when I know it is essential. That is to sit and take time out with the Lord.

About a year ago it started. I sat in the arm chair, no Bible and no Praying, just sat. Hands open to receive. Closed my eyes.

I had and still have no idea what God does during that time, but I call it “God’s MOT”

Yesterday I spoke to a Garage Owner in our Church and asked him what happens in an MOT on a car. The list was endless. The first and last items of information really spoke to me.

• We have three ways in which we systematically check that the car is the car on which we are working. Various pieces of information must tally up with each other – chassis number etc.
• God looks at us and He knows us, bought with a price, The Blood of His Son. No need for God to check a list.
• The final part of the Test; the engineer who has been overall responsible for this work with others; knows that the car is safe for the driver to take away.
• We then stand up and walk; knowing we are safe in His Hands.

I would encourage you to sit and spend time in His Presence for a few minutes. Your time I realise is precious, but caring for yourself in The Lord in this climate in which we find ourselves is essential.

I share this with you, hopefully to be a Blessing to you. I have received over these last weeks stress filled emails from Police/Staff, many of them from people who do not know the Lord.

“I Pray that you will receive an infilling of His Spirit during these times, so as you walk in Him, you will be there for others. Amen”.

In Him

Alice.
