Graduation Day!

Many schools last week and this week are having graduations from Kindergartens to High School....our colleges had their graduations the the first part of May. Many students from HS and College are now in the REAL world of work and responsibillities. They will be Montgomery's future....how will they do?

Pray this week:

1. That ALL students will(if they don't already)find really good mentors to guide them through the realities of being out of the safety of "school". For those mentors to be able to guide them to know what it means to be responsible citizens.

2. For ALL students to be guided to a firm foundation in Jesus Christ. This certainly will be their anchor for their futures in all the decisions that they will be making over the next years.

3.Pray for younger students who are approaching high school and college...that God will bring mentors into their lives who will help direct their paths.

4. Pray for parents to come to a knowledge of Jesus Christ so that they can guide their children properly with Godly wisdom. For those who are already believers, pray that God will fill them with guidance and direction.

Praying for Our Hospitals

Pray for Montgomery area hospitals. As much as one grumbles about health care these days, we are very fortunate to have several great hospitals in our area. Baptist South, Baptist East and Jackson all have doctors and nurses who work hard. They do what they can to make things right for the patients. Jesus cared about the sick and we are very blessed to have people in Montgomery who care for the sick....

Pray today for these things:
1. For administrators-that they will have God given wisdom as they make decisions every day that affect patients.
2. For nurses, aides and others who do the "dirty work" of patient care. Pray that they will be energized and see God at work as they care. Pray that they will be filled with compassion even on the hardest days.
3. For doctors-to have wisdom and care for those they serve. For surgeons who need to be precise and careful. For oncologists who have to tell bad news to some...and on and on. Each area has different challenges and needs.
4. For the rest of the staff..admin assistants, billing, housekeeping, cafeteria, etc. Pray that they will do their job with joy and patience today.
5. ER department as they deal with crisis and trauma. Pray for calmness and clarity.
6. When you see an ambulance go by..say a prayer for the people who will be serving that person in need.

And most of all.........thank God today that we have medical care that is adequate. Most countries do not. We are very blessed no matter what is going on politically, we are still very blessed. If you know someone in the medical field..pray for them today.

Peace along the journey!
