O Lord, open my lips,

and my mouth will declare your praise.

You do not delight in sacrifice,
or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and a contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.
Psalm 51:15-17

Dear people of RCF,
May Jesus bless you this week as always, he is good to us! And may his goodness be known to all, may
the entire population of the world bow to his great holiness.
We thank you our God for your extreme graciousness in bringing us to knowledge of yourself, for making
us your people.
We pray to you for the following items and others. Please bring into our minds what we should ask you
for Lord God. Let us be according to your will our Father, to bring your kingdom closer.
Thank you for bringing the Holy Spirit to guide us, and to make possible what had been impossible.

We pray:

for Jamie Rodriguez who has recently had a seizure, the first since her surgery.


1. For Billy and Hannah; for their new marriage.

2. The Hobby Lobby supreme court ruling that allows businesses with
Christian owners to opt out of the abortion and abortifacient birth
control mandated in Obamacare. That this would start a revolution
against the Draconian Obamacare requirements.

3. The next Sheriff of Richland County. There are 5 candidates.
Two of them are Christians, Lt Bob Frank and Chad Kanable.

4. For God to bring the right students (international and domestic) to
Eagle School so they may be impacted for the Lord. That Eagle School may continue to thrive.

5. For the upcoming RCF Celebration of Remembrance that marks 30 years
of God's grace to RCF.

6. For all of our unbelieving family members, and our demon ridden family members, and our friends, for
all these we pray to you God please save them from destruction, bring them to your feet, free them from
the bonds of the devil.

7. For Gerard H Jr, if he is not up and walking and using his hands and arms, please God do this we ask
you! Also Ricky B, rescue him from immobility and from lack of communication and possibly thinking. Lord
let these people be yours, and while they are here, let them move again, and be more with us. Thank you
for their families, and please bless their families and them.
We ask you in Jesus holy name.

8. for all African girls especially the kidnapped ones, for all children, for all who suffer from hunger, thirst,
bugs, illnesses, loneliness, who have no way to clean up or change clothes, who are abused, who have
family who have been killed or tortured or who have died naturally, who have to move taking nothing, who
have nothing, for those who don't know Jesus, Lord have mercy. Thank you for the agencies which are
working to improve the lives of many, especially those who do it for you Jesus, and speak your name
where it hasnt been spoken or where it needs to be spoken. Thank you for Lydias House and other
recourse for homeless people in Richland Center. Let our county be a loud noise of praise to you our
God.

9. thank you for sparing us from tornadoes, and please keep them away from people. Thank you for
beautiful summer.

10. Thank you for the Bible and for our Pastor and Elders and all your church.

11. for marriages, families, finances, work, young adults, teens, for all people.

As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?
Psalm 42: 1-2

By day the LORD directs his love,
at night his song is with me
a prayer to the God of my life.
Psalm 42:8
