Joys and Concerns — 12/2/18

Here are the prayers lifted today:

• Maria lifts prayers for Baby Demirel who was premature and very ill at the hospital.
• Maria also asks prayers that we keep hope alive.  In a world full of challenges and negative actions, let’s keep the hopeful actions of all people alive.
• In remembrance of all those who were injured or lost their lives at Pearl Harbor on December 7 and to all their families, we lift them in prayer for their faithful service, their willingness to fight to keep America out of WWII, and their bravery to do what was needed of them.

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

• Claudia is grateful to God for the best older brother ever.  December 7, “a day that will live in infamy,” is not because it is John’s 75th birthday!

Lord, in Thanksgiving, hear our praise.
