禱告

感恩節快樂！聚會停一次。

你們當樂意事奉耶和華，當來向他歌唱！

你們當曉得耶和華是神！我們是他造的，也是屬他的；我們是他的民，也是他草場的羊。

當稱謝進入他的門；當讚美進入他的院。當感謝他，稱頌他的名！

因為耶和華本為善。他的慈愛存到永遠；他的信實直到萬代。(詩篇 100)

1. 這星期朝正兄繼續做復健並吃止痛藥，雖稍有幫助，但脖子仍然常常非常疼痛，MRI的報告出來，大體上並沒有太大的改變。懇切求主的憐憫，減輕朝正兄的疼痛，因為他的痛是非常難以忍受的，也求主給予朝正兄、菁滿姐更大的力量，更清楚的帶領來走前面的道路。親愛的兄弟姊妹，我們的禱告對我們所有受苦的肢體，是一個非常大的扶持的力量，讓我們迫切為他們代求，求主的同在、祂的恩典、祂的愛充充滿滿臨到這個家。
2. 曼文姐的父親上週蒙主恩召，林伯伯在過世之前似乎已知道他不久將離世，內心平安，過世時也非常平靜，我們深信他已回到主的家，求主安慰曼文姐的家人，也希望林伯伯的信仰過程能在曼文姐的家人前，成為一個美好的見證。請我們為這個家來代禱。

Prayer

Happy Thanksgiving! Fellowship is cancelled this week!

Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.

Know that the LORD is God.

It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving

and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;

his faithfulness continues through all generations.. (Psalm 100)

1. This week Brother Chaujun continues physical therapy and taking pain killers. Although this has helped a little, his neck still gives him much pain. MRI results are out, and in general nothing much has changed. Pray for God’s mercy and lessen his pain. The pain he endures is unbearable. Pray also that God would give Brother Chaujun and Sister Jingmann greater strength, and to guide them every step of the way. Dear brothers and sisters, our prayers are a great support to all parts that are suffering. Therefore let us continue to pray for them with great urgency, may God be with them, and this family be filled with His grace and His love.
2. Sister Mannwen’s father left to be with the Lord last week. Mr. Lin seemed to know that he will be passing away soon, therefore his heart was full of peace, and was very calm to the end. We truly believe that he has gone to God’s home. May the Lord watch over Sister Mannwen and her family, and may Mr. Lin’s path to Christ be a testimony to the family. Let us continue to pray for this family.
