What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! (Romans 9:14)
Father, please help us put off the old man and put on the righteousness that comes from knowing your son and walking in his ways. Thank you for your righteousness.
For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” (Romans 9:15)
Jesus, have mercy on us, have compassion on us. Let your light shine forth in the present darkness in the church and in the nation.
“If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)
Holy Spirit, move us and the leaders of our church and government to humble ourselves and pray and seek your face. Holy Spirit, heal our land.

From: Fr. Nigel Mumford+
Subject: Noel Dawes Update Friday April 8th
Dear Philothea (Souls that love God),
Here follows a “Noel” update:
Noel is home, very happy, and upbeat. He had a cardiac MRI at 6.30am today.(Friday)
He is wearing a portable defibrillator. They are still assessing the tests and they
should be ready midweek-ish.
Noel and Meryl are VERY grateful for you prayers and feel;
“The Peace that surpasses all understanding” 24/7 from all or you.
PLEASE keep them and their family in your prayers for good results next week.
Noel tells me that he has been reading “Healing Everywhere” by The Rev. Gaynor Banks
(founder of the OSL). Noel told me, “Gaynor’s words have really been touching my heart as
I rest. God is in control.”
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TARGETED PRAYERS… KEEP ‘em COMING….
I will keep sending Noel updates as needed.
Be well, do good works and for the sake of God love one another,
God bless you, Fr, Nigel+
***** For Prisoners.
O GOD, who spares when we deserve punishment, and in your wrath remembers mercy; we humbly beseech you, of your goodness, to comfort and succor all prisoners [especially those who are condemned to die]. Give them a right understanding of themselves, and of your promises; that, trusting wholly in your mercy, they may not place their confidence anywhere but in you. Relieve the distressed, protect the innocent, awaken the guilty; and forasmuch as you alone bring light out of darkness, and good out of evil, grant to these your servants, that by the power of your Holy Spirit they may be set free from the chains of sin and death, and may be brought to newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
“Remember the prisoners as if chained with them–those who are mistreated–since you yourselves are in the body also.” Hebrews 13:3
Remember those who are imprisoned in the Middle East because of their desire for democracy and dignity, e.g., in Syria, Bahrain, Egypt, and Libya.
