PRAYER REQUESTS: The world says all is bad.  God declares He can turn bad into good!

St. Paul Prayer Requests:

-Linda’s husband Michael who had a kidney transplant and hasn’t been feeling well. He is still sick off and on and needs prayer. LW needs strength to take care of him and MW needs prayer for his health.

-LW’s brother who was in rehab. He fell and ended up in the hospital yesterday. He needs someone to watch him since he cannot be alone and needs to go into a nursing home. Pray for his insurance needs. 

-America’s spirit, Israel, and the spiritual warfare happening here in our country. God is bigger than this world.

-Christian believers to be strong in the spirit. 

-Jesus Christ who is the victory and will overcome evil and the darkness in the coming New Year 2024

-The voting in 2024 for our new government leaders - new Presidency to lead our country and represent Jesus Christ

-Chris’ friend who has diabetes and needs to connect with his family, SW, support, increase his independence, and Jesus’ support.

-Sarah and John’s baby’s birth to be strong and healthy and be a blessing to God. Provide inner peace and joy to Sarah and John.

-Lost souls and people who do not know Jesus, touch their hearts, for Christians to reach out to them and minister to them. 

-Protection for Emory to drive to St. Cloud to join the MN AG Connect conference until this Wednesday afternoon.

Others:

-Lona Anders (OK) – Has a cyst on her liver – Very painful

-Eve Dillman (C) – It looks like Dana is in his last week or possibly two.  He stopped eating last Sunday, has only had an orange, a banana, and several little cups of Jello.  He has no strength to move himself.  He has back pain which the nurse says is because the cancer is growing and pressing on his back.  He seems to be progressing as is normal for this type of cancer.  I guess about the only thing you can do is pray for a peaceful transition. We were exposed to Covid last Tuesday, so we aren't encouraging visitors until we know if we are infected.  Don't want to expose anyone else. The kids have been here helping, except for Dan who has Covid. You could pray for him and his wife that they get well soon.
