Daily Prayer Requests 24th July 2007

Good am all, Please say prayers for the following: My friend Liz and her son and family. He's serving our country in Iraq, has been injured once losing 60/20 permanent hearing loss, came home briefly, got married to his beautiful wife Nicki who'd been expecting their 1st child and they learned it would be a boy, flew back to Iraq to continue serving our country and this past Friday Nicki delivered him at 21 weeks gestation him only living 30 glorious minutes, now him flying back home from Iraq to bury his son and grieve with his family. Liz is an amazing woman and I love her dearly. Please say prayers for her and her family. Another friends wife has taken her own life and questions are left as to why as he tries to pick up the pieces with their daughter. Please pray for him and his daughter that they may find peace and hope moving forward and that they thrive off one another and have happy prosperous lives. Please pray for the many folks here who's families and them personally are continuing to face challenges. There are many who are ailing health wise and otherwise and it puts a lot of stress and anxiety of many of us to try and assist in all the ways that we can. We have got to stick together and continue to support one another and lift each other up in prayer. I messaged a friend last pm telling her that so much is happening I take it as signs that again we are reminded of Life and how short it is and that we truly need to make the best of the days we have here and my hope for us all is that we know our Lord and walk in his ways and know that it is because of him that all things are possible. We may falter along the way but He is there. I have been working on a continuing list of those to pray for and things to pray about and it's grown extensively. It is truly the way I've been able to keep up with things. At times I've found prayer exhausting but honestly they do work and I wouldn't stop it for anything. Knee-mail is just one of the ways we can talk and walk with God. Its the simplest way but means so much more than we think. Have a great day! Kat

Kat, I'm so very sorry to hear about those losses and I am praying for those families. I ask that ya'll continue to pray for us as we move. The movers are coming to pack us on the 3rd and move us on the 6th and my girls start at their new school on the 8th. Please especially pray for them and that they will make some good friends. I am pleased to report that Paul and I stopped by to talk to the principal and he invited us to church and told us that the assistant principal is the youth minister at the church. That made me feet better. We will be doing quite a bit more driving between here in GA, AL and AR. My mom and sister are going to be keeping my cats until we can get settled. We did find a house to rent for a little while. Also, we lost our dear beagle, Belle. It just broke my heart. She got into some type of poison and the vet tried but just could not save her. I do miss her. She would have been 2 years old next month. She was just past the puppy stage and turning into a really good dog. Please pray for our family as we do miss her terribly. Momma is doing good. The eye specialist said that the infection is pretty much gone. She has not had to have an injection in her eye for a couple of weeks now. Please continue to pray for her as they try to get her immune system back up and she starts gaining her strength. Pray also for Daddy as he is trying to take care of her. Love, Shel

So sad to hear of all the loss and grief in everyones life, but encouraged when I see the hope we all share in Jesus. My prayers are for a fullfilling job. I am so bored in what I do. God please give me a fire for it or bring something my way. My other prayers are for my son Jordan and his time in law school. Help him to quit smoking and continue to draw him closer to you, Lord. Amen
