PLEASE PRAY

Hi there my Dear Friends, I have 2 prayer request below that I hope you will pray on for me. I trust all of you had a very blessed Christmas. The month of December was a wonderful month full of fun, parties and warm fellowship with the ones we love. I know each of you all spent time reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas also. The birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Me, Dean, Jessie & Adam went to the movies the week before Christmas to see "The Nativity" It was a very well done movie on the birth of Jesus. PRAYER REQUEST 1 ~ It's been a great month ....... until Christmas evening ... when Gayle (she no longer deserves to be called mother) had to attack me once again, not physically but mentally, and she's very, very good at it. This woman literally hates me! I have cried so much since Christmas night and have been in such a state of depression, I actually think I came close to a nervous break down Christmas night. I'm still thinking about calling my family Doctor in the morning, I'm crying at the drop of a hat! So please, please pray for me. I have been physically AND mentally abused by her my entire life, but nothing like these past 2 years. I'm no longer in her life, so why can't she just leave me alone? Why must she keep turning the knife in my heart? I have begged God many times over the past couple of days to show me the reason I have to be going through this right now. I know there's a reason, but it's not for me to know right now I guess. PRAYER REQUEST 2 ~ With our son Adam working at Extended Stay Hotels America, He earns points to stay free at any Extended Stay Hotel in the USA, but has to use them before the end of the year. SO ... He and 2 friends are headed to Atlanta Georgia tomorrow afternoon, Friday, December 29th, They will return home on Monday. They plan to go downtown to the Largest party In the Southeast at Underground Atlanta's Peach Drop. PLEASE pray for his safety traveling there tomorrow, He will leave around 6pm, pray for his safety while there ~ (New Year's Eve, Atlanta, Party, Underground, Lot's of people and drinking add up to some MAJOR PRAYING FOR SAFETY) and pray for his safety driving back home on Monday. Also pay that he has a safe fun time. Me, Dean & Jessie will be at the New Year's Eve Communion Service at church Sunday evening. On the whole, The Spencer family has been very blessed in 2006, from my surgery (weight loss thus far: 133 pounds since the day of surgery), Dean quitting smoking, to Jessica's job at the church to Adam finally leaving Brandy and coming back home. GOD IS GOOD! Love, Debra

Debra..I will pray now....Father God only you can heal a broken and hurt heart...I pray for Debra now and ask for your healing salve to cover her and heal her. I also pray for Gayle and pray for you to open her heart and make her heart of stone a heart of flesh, pliable and moldable in your gracious hands. Lord you are in the restoration business and if you can change Saul a persecutor of Christians into a lover of God You can do that for Gayle. Please restore the years the locusts have eaten in this family's life and have your way with Gayle even now as we pray. I also lift up adam to you and pray you have your way with him also. I pray for safety and wisdom for this trip and if it isn't what you want that you would close the doors. Help him make choices that are pleasing to You Lord and that would bring glory to Your name.....In Jesus' name...Amen (which means "so be it") In His love, Joan M

Debra, I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Sometimes it's the ones that are suppuse to be our "family" that hurt us the most. I wish I could tell you it will all just go away. I will pray for you to gain back your mental strength and well being. Just remember you are a good person and you don't deserve to be mistreated by anyone. Good Luck and God Bless Deanna

Debra, you and your family are in my prayers. God Bless and hope everyone has a Happy New Year Your friend to the end, Love Kathleen G from MO
