Psalm 42 New King James Version
1 As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
     Jesus, I long to have more of you in my life each day.

2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
     Holy Spirit, as I get older, I anticipate the day when I shall come into your presence.

3 My tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say to me,
“Where is your God?”
     Father, feed me with your word day by day.

A Word Received: Come into my presence with rejoicing.

The Holy Martyrs of Libya, also known as the 21 Coptic Martyrs of Libya, were a group of 20 Egyptian Coptic Christians and one Ghanaian Christian who were beheaded in Libya on February 15, 2015, by the Islamic State (ISIS) . They were executed for their Christian faith after refusing to renounce it. Their martyrdom has been commemorated by both the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church, with the Coptic Church establishing their feast day on February 15th, and the Catholic Church adding them to the Roman Martyrology in 2023.
     Lord, there is a war going on. Keep us from just standing on the sidelines and watching it happen. Help us to be faithful witnesses to the Gospel of Jesus Christ whatever the cost. Thank you.

A Word Received: I will show you the way; follow me.

An art school project in which we were to go to the University Museum and draw something using only dots and no lines.

At Jean’s 50th class reunion at Yale Divinity School we heard Philip Turner give a sermon in which he described visiting an elderly woman in his congregation. She told him that she had lately given up reading the New York Times for Jeremiah. She said, "The news is just as bad, but the perspective is different."
     Holy Spirit, please give us your perspective.

Genesis 1:10 New King James Version
10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
     LORD, the seas and all that live in them are your creation. Help us respect them.

Psalm 66:5-6 New King James Version
5 Come and see the works of God;
He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land;
They went through the river on foot.
There we will rejoice in Him.
     Father, the seas and all their power are under your command.

Proverbs 8:29 New King James Version
29 When He assigned to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command,
When He marked out the foundations of the earth,
     Jesus, please establish limits to the seas as we go into hurricane season.

Matthew 8:25-26 New King James Version
25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” 26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
     Jesus, please rebuke the raging storms and seas with your word of command.

A Word Received: Look to me for help in the storms of life.

A Word Received by Scott G. Roberts, Intercessor
You are My beloved child. I chose you before the foundation of the world, to walk with Me along paths designed uniquely for you. Concentrate on keeping in step with Me, instead of trying to anticipate My plans for you. If you trust that My plans are to prosper you and not to harm you, you can relax and enjoy the present moment.
Your hope and your future are rooted in heaven, where eternal ecstasy awaits you. Nothing can rob you of your inheritance of unimaginable riches and well-being. Sometimes I grant you glimpses of your glorious future, to encourage you and spur you on. But your main focus should be staying close to Me. I set the pace in keeping with your needs and My purposes.

2 Corinthians 11:22-27 New King James Version
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I. 23 Are they ministers of Christ?—I speak as a fool—I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often. 24 From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 27 in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness—
     Jesus, please be with us when we go through times of trial and suffer. You carriied Paul through all of this, please carry us.

A Word Received: I went to the cross for you. I knnow the pain you are going through.
