I received the email below from Emily this evening. It is an urgent prayer request for children at KKH ward 76, especially XinXin and Jeremy.
"Dear Friends, Just heard news from Joy that a nurse from Ward 76 who was doing night duties on Tuesday was diagnosed with chicken pox. As Jeremy was at Ward 76 most of the time on Wed when he was warded for MRI, he might be at risk too. Xinxin and all the other cancer patients that were warded recently have all been called back to inject or take some antibotics. Chicken pox and measles can be very dangerous if a cancer patient contracted it when their immunity is low. Hence, please pray for all these children especially XinXin and Jeremy. Emily"
Let us intercede and pray for protection and special covering upon the children. "Our God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1).
Let us pray Psalm 61 together on behalf of the children, substituting "my" with "their" (or their names), in Jesus name. Amen!
"Hear our cries, O God;
Attend to our prayers.
From the end of the earth we will cry to You.
When their (the children and their parents') hearts are overwhelmed;
Lead them to the rock that is higher than them.
For You have been a shelter for them,
And a strong tower from the enemy.
They will abide in Your tabernacle
They will trust in the shelter of Your wings.
For You, O God, have heard their vows;
You have given them the heritage of those who fear Your name.
You will prolong their lives.
Their years as many generations.
They shall abide before God forever.
Oh perpare mercy and truth, which may preserve them!
So, Iwe will sing praise to Your name forever.
That we may daily perform our vows." (Psalm 61)
Thanks & God bless,
Whee Ling
