I'm in the ER again with my fil who fell again last night and is having bad neck and back pain. He has a fracture in his c7 vertebrate but no paralysis. He was in a lot of pain but is sleeping now, thankfully. It's hard because he's 81; I'm not sure what they can or will do. Please pray! Thanks.
I will not be doing my chat this afternoon... I'll probably be here or at another ER...
The National Institutes for Health (NIH) Office of Rare Diseases (ORD) launched last month the "Undiagnosed Diseases Program". The goals (from their website) are:
Day 38 - May 30
Standing for God’s Standards
Scripture:
“When he (the Holy Spirit) comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.” John 16: 8-11
Prayer Points:
• Pray for the Lord to convict all who live in Canada of his righteous standards for living.
• Pray that the Holy Spirit will awaken people to the reality of God’s presence in the world and acknowledge Jesus the Son.
• Pray that the Holy Spirit will awaken people’s conscience to God’s moral standards for society.

Day 39 - May 31
Make Disciples
Scripture:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the mane of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19-20 NASB
Prayer Points:
• Pray that the Church will get back to the simple command of Jesus for His Church and its members: Make Disciples.
• Pray that the Church will make disciples simply by teaching their people to observe all that Jesus commanded them.
• As we pray, let us thank Jesus for His promise as we make disciples teaching them to observe all that Jesus commanded them that He has promised to be with us always, even to the end of the age.

Thank you for joining us in prayer for Canada these past 40 days.
I'm at my nephew's high school graduation this morning and won't be
back in time (or have enough energy) to do my chat today.
I'll see you all later!
Mom just contacted me to say the cyst on her right ovary is gone, but the one on the right ovary is still there and is acting like endometriosis. The doctor is waiting six weeks to see if it goes away on its own; if it doesn't, they will do surgery to remove it.
Her pain is bad right now from her exam but is not so bad day to day.
Keep praying! Thanks.
Apple's cousin, Loretta, is about 4 months pregnant and found out today that she's expecting twins -- and that the twins are joined at the chest. Pray for a good outcome for Loretta & the babies.
Day 36 - May 28
Dominion from Sea to Sea
Scripture:
He shall have dominion from sea to sea. Psalm 72:8
Prayer Points:
• Pray that Canada, a gathering place for nations, will honour God and seek to live righteously
• Pray that we will experience a national revival and that the church will respond to the urgency of the times and pray.
• Pray that we will be a nation that has a heart for evangelism and reaching our neighbours and communities for Christ.

Day 37 - May 29
Spilling Out The Love of Jesus
Scripture: "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." John 7:37-38
God can only do thru us, what he has first done in us. The outflow of our lives is in direct proportion to our intake. Effective evangelism is not so much a product of our techniques and programs as it is an overflow of a rich, living and full relationship with Jesus Christ.
Prayer Point:
• Pray that the church in Canada will know, enjoy and contagiously spill out the presence and love of Jesus Christ to those around us.
