Prayers for the Rabys & the Daniels

Church,
Let me ask you to be in diligent prayer for Jack & Sarah Raby and their friends Kay & Jimmy Daniel.  As many of you know by now they are on the island of St. Marteen, where they weathered Hurricane Irma yesterday but are now faced with additional challenges.  We've been keeping in touch with their daughter, Leslie, and understand that all are okay but understandably concerned.  Much of their hotel has been damaged as has much of the country, including the airport.  Their primary concern right now is looters and lack of proper security across the island.  They are without power and communication is very difficult.  We understand that they do have food and medicines.  They are also aware that another storm, Jose, is approaching, making everything even more difficult.  Please pray for their safety, their health and for relief/rescue efforts to aid all in need, but especially for our dear friends wanting to return home as quickly as possible.


Ps 31:20-22
20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them 
from the intrigues of men;
in your dwelling you keep them safe 
from accusing tongues. 


21 Praise be to the LORD,
for he showed his wonderful love to me 
when I was in a besieged city. 
22 In my alarm I said,
"I am cut off from your sight!"
Yet you heard my cry for mercy 
when I called to you for help.NIV



Ps 91:1-2
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High 
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.   
2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge 
and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust." NIV
