Prayer Letter

Hello Everyone,

Thank you all so much for what you have been undertaking inside your work during these first two weeks of the New Year. Really appreciate you.

I have been in touch with a number of people who have been in our Prayers during 2019. Much Praise for improved health. Thank You Lord.

Last week I mentioned that this week we will be starting our Hope UK Prayers. This coming week on Monday 20^th at 20.20 hours, for a period of 20 minutes; please join many others who will be:

• Praying for outreach amongst members of our Family, Friends and Colleagues.
• And then specifically, Prayer for Police, both Officers and Staff, who are far from well.

This last Sunday during the Sermon in our Church; DL Moody was quoted.

“Out of 100 people, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read a Christian”.

Jesus said to His Disciples: “You are the salt of the earth and you are the light of the world” Matthew 5. 13-14.

God Bless you this coming week.

In Him,

Alice.

Hello Everyone.

Thank you for the response to last week’s PL.

I wish to share with you an idea, which “Hope Together” has suggested. It refers to us being in the year 2020:

• Pray on the 20^th of each month at 20.20 hours for 20 minutes.
• Pray that we have more opportunities to witness to our Family, Friends and Colleagues.
• With this in mind, the PL will contain topics relating to the Police.
• Next week’s PL will contain the information for this month.

For the last 12 years as a Church Congregation, we have not met in our Church Building on Sundays. Our Congregation has been too large. Last Sunday, we walked into our new Building. A special moment as you can imagine. This new Building has been built alongside our original Building, so we have double the area, for our future work in Woking.

As our Pastor welcomed us, he pointed out the newness of the building and that over time it will show signs of use (he mentioned that two cups of coffee were spilt over the new carpet and a baby was sick over one of our new chairs already!). He went on to say that although everything shows wear and tear over time, the Goodness of the Lord does not do so. He then quoted a verse that I shared in the PL a few weeks ago:

The Steadfast Love of the Lord never ceases;
His Mercies never come to an end;
They are new every morning;
Great is Your Faithfulness. Lam 3. 22,23.

Every time we come to the Lord; He continues to be Faithful.

In Him

Hello everyone.

I trust you are well.

• May I ask you to continue to Pray for those around you, who are battling for various reasons.
• I admit, I am very selfish when it comes to Prayer. I always Pray for myself first, before I talk to the Lord about anyone else or situation that concerns me. Please Pray for yourself as well.

This will be my last Prayer Letter this year. It is called pressure of time and a Daughter arriving from The States whom I only see once a year, hopefully you will forgive me.

However, I have had for a little while the writings below, which I would love you to dwell on during this Christmas Period.

I have no idea of the Author of these words, but the words are from God.

You will see as you read the words, that this is the reason for Christmas.

Bask in the luxury of being fully understood and unconditionally loved.

Dare to see yourself as I see you – radiant in My Righteousness. Cleansed by My Blood.

I view you as the one I created you to be; the one you will be in actuality when Heaven becomes your home.

It is My Life within you that is changing you, from Glory to Glory.

Rejoice in this mysterious miracle.

Just sit before Me; receiving the rock-solid truth; that you are fully understood and unconditionally loved by Me, the God of all Creation.

I see you; I know you and I Your God love you, right where you are just now.

Find rest at this time in amongst the busyness of your work and family.

Have a Wonderful Christmas.

God Bless

Alice.

Hello Everyone,

Thank you again this week for your responses to the last Prayer Letter.

I am aware that a number of people are battling with on- going ill health and others awaiting Hospital Appointments. Please join me in Prayer for your Colleagues who continue to work, whilst not being truly well.

I have received a response following a Prayer Letter I sent out a few weeks ago. Please see below –

‘I have just come into work and read the prayer letter. When I read Judges 6. 12 “When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said the Lord is with you mighty warrior” I suddenly became warm inside and got a real sense of peace.’

I again leave that verse with you; it is very powerful.

“When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said the Lord is with you mighty warrior” Judges 6.12.

May you know The Lord with you this coming week ‘Mighty Warrior’.

God Bless you and keep you.

In Him

Alice.

Hello Everyone,

I trust you are well.

Very many thanks for your responses to the recent Prayer Letter.

From time to time, I have a week where the same verse seems to be suitable in every situation that I find myself.

Since just under a week ago, one verse has been with me and I have shared it with a number of people, including Police Officers and Staff, mainly when Praying for them.

As I think about that verse, I guess what I have just said is totally true. It does fit every situation.

Even yesterday when I visited a very sick; very close friend, I shared it with her.  Her Husband and Daughter being at her bedside, with me. I received a text at midnight last night, (8 hours later), she had just gone to Glory, a merciful release for her.

The verse has appeared in many of the Prayer Letters including one from Simon a few weeks ago.

              “Be still and know that I am God”. Psalm 46.10.

I proclaim over you, “Be Still and know that I am God”.

Spend time to allow this statement to settle in your heart and head.

God Bless

In Him

Alice.
