December 23 Praise Reports and Prayer Requests

Here are praise reports and prayer requests for this week.   

Praise Reports: 
-Praise the Lord: We had a wonderful Christmas meal with the folks at Celebrate Recovery. Cindy & I were privileged to be able to help with the cooking of the meal.
-Praise the Lord: for He is giving Cindy and I "peace that passes understanding" through this first Christmas season without Daniel, our son who died in April. 
-Praise the Lord: He is faithful to Trisha and she is finding strength in him and seeking fellowship this season. Your prayers are working!
-Praise the Lord: John has done well. Thank you for your prayers!

Thank you for praying for the following with us: 
- Pray for Trisha, our 'daughter-in-law' who is struggling with loneliness during this holiday season, missing Daniel.
- Pray against a spirit of depression that has come over most of the folks in our church body. The Christmas season can be a difficult time for many.
- Please keep praying for healing of Gail's neck. It is a lot more painful than she let's on. She has an dystonia torticollis that has tightened some neck muscles into a permanent knot and is actually caused by a stress-related reaction in the brain.                              
- Our friend and brother in the Lord, George Ireland from Mooreland Close has gone home to meet the Lord this week. Pray for his dear wife, Muriel, who is very confused and missing her life-long partner. We pray for the Lord's peace and grace to be poured out on her.
God bless you, and Merry Christmas!
Rick & Cindy Johnston
