It is really necessary for us to find the time to pray for others. God tells us that the prayer of a righteous man avails much. Now, most people do not think of themselves as righteous. In fact they want to run from such titles. But as a born again Christian, you are that righteous person who can and should pray for others as they have prayed for you. God asks us to pray for those in need. At this time, these are the needs of others who want prayer:
1) Helen Stone- who is having brain surgery in the morning. Please pray for her full recovery and continuing health. Please also pray for her family as they go through this with her.
2) A woman who has been told by her doctor that she must now go into an assisted living facility. She has been on her own for a very long time.
3) Fred-who is suffering with cancer and is terminal. Please pray for his recovery and for his family, for his two daughters, one who is having to deal with his needs as they come up. The other is very young and will have trouble understanding the situation.
4) ADDING A NEW REQUEST: Debra-who has had news from the doctor that there are more problems since her surgery a while back.
5) ADDING ANOTHER NEW REQUEST: Nancy-an abnormal pap smear. Will have biopsy next week.
Father, we pray for each and every one of these pleas for Your help in healing. Please touch each of these folks in their hour of need. Give Your healing to them and please make it in a way that there is no doubt whatsoever that You are in charge. Thank You, my Lord! We pray this in the name of Jesus! Amen.

Once again, we have a couple of prayer requests that need to be given to all who can pray over these things:
1) Tom who is in the hospital. The doctors do not know why his blood pressure bottoms or why he has an elevated white blood cell count. Please pray that they find the problem.
2) Harold-at the ER tonight for headaches and dizziness. Headed home with probable elevated blood sugar. He is diabetic.
3) Fred who is still in the hospital for throat cancer. Please pray that he will come to know the Lord or if he knows Him to strengthen him in this time of need.
Father, we pray for these prayer needs tonight and that each person sees You in all things. Thank You, Father, for being there for us when in time of urgent needs. Please help each of these folks to learn to walk in Your ways, Your word. We thank You for each of the blessings we have received from You each and every day of our lives. We pray this and thank you for it in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

The newest prayer and praise are as follows:
Praise!
Tom-out of the hospital feeling much better. Coming to light, a possible reason for almost all of the health problems to date that must be looked into.
Prayer requests:
1) Charley-who is in the hospital. Please pray for him with multiple problems. He is overweight and a normally easy procedure could be life threatening to him is needed. Please pray!!
2) Continuing prayer for Donna with cancer of vocal cords and lungs. Coming home from hospital soon.
3) Fred-continuing prayer for him. He appears to be giving up, falling back on old ways, has diagnosis that says he has no hope of recovery though the doctor would not show up to tell him that. He is very functional and about to be released to his home when one can be found. Please pray for him to be healed and his spirit hear God’s Word on the subject. Please also pray for him to have a home to go to instead of needing a nursing home.
4) A family who appears to be constantly attacked with health and financial problems, one after another with little relief.
5) A newborn who has an infection. Please pray for her!
Father, we pray for these health needs for your children. We know that You said that “by His stripes we are healed” and “with His stripes we were healed”. We agree with that for all of these folks and others that we are also praying for but not listed here. Jesus, we love You and thank You for being our Savior and Lord. We thank You for dying on the cross for us so that we do not have to have these problems! We thank You, Lord! In Jesus’ Name, Amen

I have some prayer requests for this week:

2) Fred-cancer of the throat. Told he is terminal and they cannot do anything about it. Please pray that a second opinion gives a different answer and that there is healing.

Because I believe firmly and strongly in the power of prayer, I also believe in the power of many people praying at once. Therefore, I am going to list a few prayer requests that have come my way.
1) Jamila - she needs prayer because of schizophrenia & the fact that her parents had abused her when she was younger.
2) Edna - She wants to be closer to God. She also wants to be able to stop drinking. We know that God can help her.
3) Mrs Reagan -she has much pain and has hip trouble.
4) A Mom who has a lot of financial problems and is very worried about money.
5) Divine Health to all who ask for it and believe that Jesus died on the cross so that we can have that healing and divine health.
Father, we pray for these prayer requests that we lift up to you now. These people are hurting, my Father. They need Your attention and Your hand upon them right now. Please guide them in Your ways. Please help them to see that You are in their lives always. Take the pain away, Lord, we pray. We thank You for Your abundance even if we cannot see it at this moment. We do know that You and only You are in control. Thank You, Lord! In the Name of our Lord, Jesus, Amen.

I have believed for years that the Lord is so very merciful to me because of the many times that I have come through things that should have killed or injured me, especially those times that I was out on the road driving the eighteen wheeler. But tonight, once again, I have been shown God’s amazing grace and mercy.
We live in the northern part of Arkansas in a little town near Hardy. We had been hearing all day that there was the possibility of severe weather coming our way. Now, there have been times that weather goes right around us and hits other areas. Not so tonight.
My brother-in-law had stopped by our house at around 6pm. We were watching a large storm coming our way. He had to go home quickly or get in the middle of a super cell. They were predicting tornado outbreaks all around us. My Mom lives about 18 miles from us almost due west and that was where my bro-in-law was heading. He left at about 6:25. I was in contact with my sister, who is his wife. When I called again, I found out that he had not yet gotten home. We were praying for his safety as well as all of the area because that super cell was headed straight at us.
Around 6:50 or so, my sister calls to tell me that her husband had been IN the tornado. He was driving a minivan. It was tossed through the air, rolling it over and over. The next thing may be hard to believe but it is the reason we are praising God tonight. The van landed on it’s wheels and my bro-in-law got out of it. He had a few scrapes and scratches, a head wound that was bleeding but simple to bandage. The van apparently is a total loss. He is all right.
This reminded me just how much our Father protects each of us through many things. He is an awesome God!!! His mercy is awesome. His grace is awesome. I do not think that I could actually think of enough things to say that would cover how I am feeling at this moment. God spared my bro-in-law!!!! He was transported to his home by a driver who was helping out.
See, our area got hit quite hard by a tornado. The small town of Highland, Arkansas is damaged severely. Small town of Ash Flat has a good deal of damage. Many homes, businesses and church are all either gone or damaged. A church, a fire station, a shopping mall are all just gone plus numerous homes. Our area needs much prayer but we have survived.

There’s a song by that name that says that if God didn’t care we would essentially be out in the cold….or there would be nothing at all. But doesn’t God show He cares in literally everything?
Yesterday, I put up a prayer request for a young lady who had collapsed at her home. She was without oxygen for at least 5 minutes and the doctors feared that she would be vegetative if she lived at all. Last night she died.
Now, to some, this would seem that God did not care at all for that young lady. That is not true. At times, it may seem that God abandoned us at our biggest need but, in reality, He did what any Father would do. He stopped the suffering. That young lady now is in the arms of our very capable Father who loves her very much. We have no idea what caused the collapse, nor the reason why He allowed this to happen. What we do know is that He is ever faithful, even when it may not look like it to us.
Yes, my God cares deeply for each and every detail of our lives. That’s why it is vital that we choose to spend time with Him, to seek His council on all things. If we do not, we are flying blind. It’s only through trusting in the Creator Who knows the machine we live in and the lives laid out before us that we are able to get to those things that God has for us as His children.
So, prayer does work regardless of what it may appear to look like. If God truly did not care, we would be floundering in a sea of confusion all the days of our lives. And that simply is not true. We do have guidance even when we seem to not be able to hear His voice. He has given us a love letter that we can read any time we choose to do so. It’s called a Bible.
Maybe now would be a good time to go dust off the Book and open the pages. Just read a few words, a paragraph a day. It’s amazing what will speak to you if you allow it. And please do not forget to keep the family of this young lady in prayer. This was devastating and unexpected. They were not prepared for it. God DOES care. He proves it every day you are alive.

Ξ February 3rd, 2008 | → Comments Off | ∇ Prayer Requests |
Since it is obvious that prayer is an important part of our lives as Christians, I thought that it would be a good thing to have prayer requests here as a regular category. In this case, if you have a prayer request that you would like people to pray over, please put the request into the comments section of each post about prayer requests.
I will kick off the new category with these prayer requests:
1) Katie B., 27 years old, collapsed at her home yesterday. Unknown reason. Without oxygen for at least 5 mins. Doctors fear she will be in a vegetative state.
2) Stacey C. has health problems possibly due to environmental situation.
3) Debra in the hospital who had surgery two weeks ago, needs prayer to heal and relieve the pain.
4) Soldier back from Iraq. Unknown problem. God knows.
5) Amy and children, health problems. Possibly carbon dioxide or mold in the house plus the bad weather.
As I receive prayer requests, I will pass them along to you. When I receive them here on this blog, I will pass them along to prayer warriors who, likewise, pass them along to others.
Father, I pray for each of these prayer requests. I ask you to lay Your healing hands upon each of these folks who need You desperately. Father, we agree in Jesus’ Name for healing each of these situations. We thank You in the precious name of Jesus Christ! Amen.
