Colossians 1:9

  • Jami -
    Her dad (Don) was diagnosed with bladder cancer. They recently did surgery to remove all the cancer and so far it all looks clear. So please pray that the MRI, blood work, and lab tests all come back negative.
  • Mandy-
    We need financial prayer. My hubby is in the RV industy & it is in the toilet right now. We are doing what we can to stay afloat, but it looks grim. We're in the process of selling the house just to get enough $ to make it through the winter. No debt...just struggling to buy necessities. Not sure where we'll end up?
  • Paige -
    (13 months old) girl who is battling stage one neuroblastoma which is a kind of cancer. Please pray for her and her family for complete healing. UPDATE: She's at home now and she's had one round of chemo so far. She'll have another round in the next 2 weeks and then they'll take a CT Scan of the lump to see if it has shrunk. Then they'll either do surgery to remove it (preferred) or they'll give her 2 more rounds of chemo and take a look at it again. So far she seems to be doing well, with no physical side affects.
  • Brenda -
    Going for more tests this week at the hospital. She was already cleared from the results from her breast but we are still a little concerned because of our family history with cancer (Brenda is my aunt).
  • Samantha -
    Zoe, her seven year old daughter has been diagnosed with scoliosis, a heart murmur, and most recently Mitral Valve Prolapse, and Patent Ductus Ateriosus. Zoe will have to have surgery...possibly in July. Their insurance only covers 80% of the costs of treatment. Please pray for Gods provision and healing.
  • Grandma Vicker -
    Has had heart problems for forever but now her aortic valve is beginning to tighten causing her heart murmer to increase...so soon they might have to re-open her heart to give her a different valve.
  • Heidi -
    She is battling all kinds of crazy...her diagnosis being: lacunar stroke; onset diabetes/ high cholesterol/ migraines. Please pray for all of that.
  • Gabe –
    2 year old little boy is going through chemo is very weak and sick. Please continue to pray for him and his family.
  • Anne -
    Direction, wisdom and timing as she writes her book.
  • Bethlehem House -
    Lynn- the intrum house mom...Please pray for strength and wisdom as she leads the girls toward the Cross.
  • Derek and Shannon -
    Continued healing from the cancer that has been eating away at their lives. (He is in remission but the disease is still causing all sorts of drama).
  • Jackie and Chuck -
    Health and comfort as they grow old together. (She battles COPD, emphysema and array of other health issues.)
  • Mr. and Mrs. Fair -
    Wisdom for Daniel as he leads our family, wisdom for me as I follow.
  • The people of South Africa -
    Salvation, healing within their land, food in their bellies.
  • Kelsey -
    girl from youth group...Dr's can't seem to figure out what is wrong; she has been ill for over 2 years.

safe place

I spent the better part of tonight praying over the requests that have been scattered here and there in blogland. Which then brought a note from a new friend and a generated thought of this blog community. So why is it so hard for us to pray for one another? I just sat and cried today as I was praying...my husband thinks I am nuts when stuff like that happens. I know that I am called to pray and so when I tell people I will pray for them, I do. Shouldn't we all be standing in the gap for one another? It boggles my mind that we aren't. We are all so broken and billowed. I told this fellow blogger that I often wonder why we are all so willing to talk about stupid stuff and blog and chat to strangers about our most intimate details, but not about what matters most. Bringing our whole selves to the Cross or admitting that we need a little help getting there. Baring all, with our burdens and heartache for all to see. Why are we hiding it behind our witty blog titles and endless stat checks? So welcome fellow bloggers to this safe place. Bring your praises and requests and you will be stood in the gap for. Hopefully by more then just me.

Thank you.

Prayer? I want to be available, and willing, to minister at any moment. NOT just when it's convenient for me. I'm longing for a deeper passion to do so...

Krista.... you were just prayed for and given thanks for!

You definitely have the heart of a prayer warrior and I so appreciate that gift in others. I'm a crier too, so tell your husband it's a woman thing!

Awesome and relevant. I wish we all caught on to this idea.

Posted by: Kevin | May 13, 2008 at 06:47 AM

Sometimes we are so wrapped up in what we think we can do for others that we forget or neglect to bring them before Jesus and simply let him take care of them.
Thank you for your prayers. I, like you, will stop and pray immediately when you email or post something, so don't be shy! Go ahead and keep those requests coming.
