Crying
Out for Marcy Day and Night
Luke
18 (The
Parable of the Persistent Widow)
1
Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray
and not lose heart, 2saying: "There was in a certain city
a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. 3Now there was a
widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, "Get justice
for me from my adversary.' 4And he would not for a while; but
afterward he said within himself, "Though I do not fear God
nor regard man, 5yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge
her, lest by her continual coming she weary me."' 6Then the
Lord said, "Hear what the unjust judge said. 7And shall God
not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though
He bears long with them? 8I tell you that He will avenge them
speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really
find faith on the earth?"
James
5:16
Confess
your trespasses[5:16 NU-Text reads [Therefore confess your sins.]
] to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.
The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
We
thank everyone who has said they will pray for us. And since James
5:16 says to "pray for one another," Marcy is constantly
looking for prayer requests from others. She spends a great deal
of time in bed praying and likes praying for others more than she
likes praying for herself. If you
have a prayer request, just email
or call me and Marcy will pray for you.
