Isaiah 53:4-8 (KJV)
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

Proverbs 3:21-26 (KJV)
21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

Proverbs 3:13-20 (KJV)
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

Prayer Support
Victor Ng received a tract from our church at his home in Toh Yi district, near the Beauty World MRT station in January 2016. He called to request for prayer support. His elder sister Ng Ah Pee suffered a haemorrhage stroke in May 2014 and fell into a coma. Ah Pee is Victor’s only nearest next-of-kin. She was responsible to take care of Victor when he was young. There is a close bond between this pair of brother and sister. Both are baptised believers.
Ah Pee was in a coma for four months. Victor testified that he prayed incessantly for her recovery during those four months, not bearing to be separated from his dear sister. Victor has been spending time speaking to her day and night. Miraculously, she awoke. Although she is unable to speak, bedridden and on tube-feeding, she responds to Victor by the moving of her eyes. Her facial expression shows that she was consciously aware of the world around her. Victor spends 12 hours a day, 7 days a week in the nursing home taking care of Ah Pee. A cyst was discovered in her abdomen and also a rectum mass. She suffers periodically from locked jaw.
