Title: Prayers for safety (please) - Desert trip...
Post by: Benny Nganabbarru on December 28, 2006, 12:25:00 AM
G'day Fellow Archers!

I'm heading down to the desert, for what I hope will be some successful feral camel and goat hunting with my longbows.

With me will be a compound-shooting friend, and we'll be meeting up with my brother, who shoots a recurve.

Of course, I am excited about this...but I am also afraid of the heat and the miles (about 5000 of them).

No matter how many of these trips, or similar, I do, I always struggle with this apprehension. To help, I read and re-read my favourite scripture verses from Psalms and Isaiah.

Anyway, if you could please pray for our safety as we travel and hunt through the oven-like desert, I would greatly appreciate it. My wife would appreciate it, too. She'll be spending time with her family back on her childhood farm.

Thank you, Ben

PS - I look forward to sharing the tales and photos of this trip with you all in the Pow-Wow forum!

We have not because we ask not, so now that you asked for a safe hunting trip I will stand in faith with you that you will recieve what you ask for, in Jesus name!

God bless and looking forward to seeing the pictures!

Prayers with you, my upside down friend having Summer.  :)   I watched some N. Queensland video on hunting feral hogs up in the swampy regions, but this sounds way more difficult!

Jeff pretty well said it all. Go in Faith and know that the Lord has walked with many "in the desert" before and He'll be with you throughout the journey.

Peace and prayers with you all, and we all await your return and stories.

I'm back safe, having travelled many miles with a fair number of perils along the way. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Ben
