Two months into 2025, the escalation and acceleration of spiritual battles—globally and personally—are impacting each of us. From the unimaginable, heart-piercing Israeli hostage situations we’ve learned about to the whirlwind of presidential changes in the US.
In these times, I’m often drawn back to certain verses in Psalm 77 where Asaph wrote about a soul so raw with grief that it couldn’t be comforted. And yet, in time . . . the soul remembers the Lord and can breathe again. In Asaph’s verses 11-15, grief is broken off by praising God.
I will certainly remember Your wonders of old.
I will meditate on all Your work,
And on Your deeds with thanksgiving.
Your way, God, is holy;
What god is great like our God?
You are the God who works wonders;
You have made known Your strength among the peoples.
By Your power You have redeemed Your people . . .
May your soul turn to Him and find rest again despite the chaos . . . and may it be revived under the shelter of His glorious wings.

[4] PRAYER UPDATES
[10] NEW PRAYER REQUESTS & SALVATION LIST
PRAYER UPDATES
#1. YESHI’s FAMILY
Update: After Yeshi’s name appeared on our last prayer list (and others), we sent an update that she was off life support and then out of the hospital. A short reprieve from God, a gracious gift for the family before He called Yeshi home to be with Him.
Prayer: And my dwelling will be in the house of the Lord forever (Psalm 23:6b). Lord, may you wrap your arms around Yeshi’s hubby Steve and family during the days and months ahead. And may her memory be a comfort as your presence strengthens them.
#2. ANTHONY (TONY)
Update: Tony, 86, was on our last prayer list, with kidney functioning at 14%. Since then, he’s been diagnosed with gall bladder cancer. Prayer family, he needs our prayer support.
Prayer: The Lord is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation (Psalm 118:14). Mighty Healer, Merciful King, we ask for the power and healing of the cross to be released in Tony. Please counsel him, strengthen him, and walk close beside him. And may your comforting presence be with him and his entire family as they look to you for help, encouragement, and healing. In Jesus’s precious name.
#3. ROGER & ANDREA
Updates: Since being on our last prayer list, Roger has undergone various diagnostics. Thankfully, the lumps in his upper/lower arm aren’t cancerous. He still needs prayer for his feeble/painful knees and gastric concerns.
Andrea’s stage 4 breast cancer is in a “remission.” But she’s having many problems now with medication side effects and needs God’s counsel, grace, mercy.
And their youngest Australian Shepherd (Gio) is having epileptic fits at times.
Prayer: Incline your ear, Lord, and answer me, for I am afflicted and needy . . . be gracious to me, O Lord, for I call upon you all day long (Psalm 86:1,3). We praise you, Adonai, for keeping watch over Roger and Andrea. Please bring the medical answers and healings needed so they can be stronger to care for one another and serve you. Also, please keep your healing hand on Gio and lead the veterinarian in the right medical protocols. In Yeshua’s glorious name.
#4. HOSTAGES
Update: Phase 1 of the ceasefire deal/hostage release is over (for now) but the freed hostages’ ordeal in captivity and its aftermath on them and the ache of knowing there are more hostages still suffering in those Hamas conditions remains.
Prayer: The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). God, you are the Great Rescuer, may your mercies rain down on each one—freed hostages and those still in captivity. Heal them from the torturous memories of the inhumane, humiliating things they’ve been through . . . and for those still physically caged in the dark Hamas clutches, be their Light, sustain them with hope, physically, mentally, spiritually. Draw them closer to You so they sense your presence, find comfort in your voice and in your Word. In His glorious, saving name.
NEW PRAYER REQUESTS & SALVATION LIST
#5. HENRY

It’s for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and don’t let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Request: Henry had been on past prayer lists for his drug addiction but got clean before he/his girlfriend had a baby girl. Now, he’s lost his way again.
Prayer: God’s deliverance. Lord of Life, speak to the darkness within and around Henry—cast it out and save his soul. Turn his heart to you so he denounces the demonic hold he agreed with at some point . . . and so he bows down, surrenders, calls you Lord, and is free. Free indeed, in Jesus our Messiah’s name.
#6. CHILE’S SALVATION
Titus 2:11, 13
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people . . . looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.
Request: Seeking God’s hand for a revival. Please stir your holy fire and spread the Gospel throughout Chile and help all evangelical Christians’ faith to be filled with a powerful love for You, Lord, and Your ways. And for their safety since last year saw a number of violent or arson attacks on chapels.
Prayer: God’s evangelism gift growing. Abba, please sow seeds of righteousness and redemption throughout Chile, falling on rich soil in the soul. Help those calling themselves Christians to study the Word and cultivate a deep, true relationship with you vs merely having religion. In Jesus’s glorious name.

I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.

May your powerful, loving hand rest on Ashley and the child in her womb . . . protect them throughout the pregnancy to full term and a safe, joyous delivery. May you get all the glory, Precious King. And may the child be anointed to serve you mightily! In Yeshua’s sweet name.

Where there is chaos, bring your shalom; where there is division, bring healing and unity; where there is disrespect and lies, bring forward honor, love, and truth. And where there is deceit, addiction, thievery on all levels, please uproot it and sow honesty, deliverance, and generosity. In Jesus’s name.

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.

PRAYER. His Deliverance. His Love. His Redemptive Gift, the Son of God. Redeemer King, as we name these people listed below, please run after them, love on them, become their hiding place, deliver them from the dark spiritual waters keeping them captive.

It’s in His Mighty, Loving Name we pray.
