Prayer Letter from Alice

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.

Prayer Letter from 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.

Prayer Letter 23rd Nov 2018

Hello Everyone,

A lot of happenings around us tells us that Christmas is coming. I am sure that you and your families are looking forward to a time in your Churches singing Christmas Carols. I am enjoying rehearsing our Choir and Instrumentalists ready for our Carol Services.

  • I welcomed a new Reader to the PL three weeks ago. A brand-new Officer in Surrey Police. Sadly, a car accident has taken place, not our Reader’s fault on the M25 on their way home, very painful back, neck and shoulders. Awaiting treatment for these injuries. Also, the car is sick! Grateful to Colleagues who have shown much love and care. Still managing to get to work. Prayers for full healing please.

A few weeks ago, we were remembering the end of the First World War. This year being a special time; being the Hundredth Anniversary. The plaques recalling the names of Members of our Church that I attend were on our platform during our Services on that Remembrance Sunday.

Our Pastor spoke about the lives of some of those mentioned. “Held a Bible Study regularly in his home”. “Was the Church Organist”.

Our Youth Worker was asked to take the main speaking section as we had our children and young people in the Service. He told the story of Lazarus, and homed in on the words “Jesus wept” John 11.35. Even Jesus cried at the death of His friend, even though He knew Lazarus would walk out of the tomb in a very short time. He wanted His friends around Him to see that He could feel for them and have compassion on them.

He is that same Jesus today for each one of us. He understands just where we are right now in every area of our lives.

Please be assured of my Prayers for you all as you go about your work; looking after us the Public in The Met Police, Surrey and Sussex; as well as in your home lives where you have family and friends.

Prayer Letter 16th November 2018

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for your responses to last week’s Prayer Letter.

Continued Prayer for Paul and Johnny please.

Over the last two weeks I have shared with you the message given by J. John at the London Celebration Service organised by the London Christian Police Family. He encouraged everyone there “To Pray”, “To Care” and “To Share”. Pray for Colleagues around you, show them you care and then today we come to the last encouragement “To Share” with them the Love of God; which you know and understand.

I am leaving the following Chorus with you written by Carol Owens.

“God forgave my sin in Jesus’ Name, I’ve been born again in Jesus’ Name

And in Jesus’ Name I come to you to share His Love as He told me to.

He said freely freely you have received, freely freely give.

Go in My Name and because you believe others will know that I live”.

Something I have not done for a short while, is to say; so very many thanks for all you are and do as Members of The Met, Surrey and Sussex Police Services. I truly admire and appreciate you all.

The reality of the above was brought forcibly to mind last evening whilst I was attending an Interfaith Meeting at our HQ’s. Our on- duty Inspector who is a Christian, left in his car. As I waved him goodbye, I was so pleased I could leave him in God’s Hands, not knowing what he or his Colleagues were facing. Yes, a massive “Thank You” to you all.

Prayer Letter 2nd November 2018

Hello Everyone,

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

YES! We must give Praise to The Lord. Paul in Sussex has been told this week he is clear of cancer. He continues to visit the hospital for after effects of the treatment. He is planning on returning to work late December/early January. Thank you all so much for joining me in Prayer for Paul. Continue to keep him in your Prayers please.

I mentioned last week that I had attended the Celebration Service in London for their three Emergency Services; J. Jon being the speaker. His three points; Prayer/Care/Share. I want to stay with those points over the next few weeks. Today – homing in on Prayer.

I leave the following verses with you where we see in Luke 24. 44-46, that Jesus needed to Pray, how much more should we be Praying.

In His anguish, Jesus prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground. When He rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep; “Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray.”
