Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name! (Psalm 103:1)
Father in heaven, may your name be held holy.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: (Psalm 103:2)
Father, thank you for this day’s bread and this day’s word.
Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, (Psalm 103:3)
Father, help us by your Holy Spirit to forgive everyone who has sinned against us so that we can fully enter into your forgiveness.
Who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, (Psalm 103:4)
Father, guard our hearts from the temptations that daily beset us. Thank you for showing us your tender mercy by sending your son Jesus to take our sins upon himself.
Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. (Psalm 103:5)
Father, we ask you to renew us both physically and spiritually, for the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, both now and forever.
A word received: I AM with you.
A word received: Rejoice in me. I have led you this far, I will lead you the rest of the way.

Dear Intercessors,
I ask your fervent prayers for our brothers and sisters in Sudan. We have rec’d messages from Bp. Justin that the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) has begun attacks once again just 8 miles south of Maridi where Bp. Justin and Mama Joyce are. Some were shot, some were hacked by machete’s to pieces. It is very important that we hold them all in prayer for protection and a speedy stop to these attacks. FHS, Donna
Heavenly Father, we cry out to you to protect our brothers and sisters in Sudan from the horrible attacks of the LRA. Please keep the LRA from their godless actions and abolish this awful group. Give all who serve you Lord the assurance of your love and protection. In Jesus name. AMEN
Albany Intercessor
