Ask for Prayer & Pray for Others

Please pray for Dixie. She is dealing with major medical issues. She was rushed to ER late last night with symptoms of a stroke. Over the last few days her health has been of grave concern to her family. Though she has recovered rapidly, she is still in the hospital and under observation, as the doctors are unable to confirm what is going on right now. Pray too, that her husband would respond to the Lord during this time.

Please lift up Tammie as she is making travel arrangements for her husband Lee (as soon as he returns from a hunting trip) to join her to fly to Michagin. Lee's mother Wilma is back in the hospital and is not doing very well. Pray that they'll be able to get back to see her, especially pray that they'd be filled with God's peace during this difficult time. Tammie had initially made plans to make this trip to be with her mother. Pray that the time she is able to visit with her mom will be all the sweeter even if it winds up being shorter than they had initially planned.🌻

Lee's mom, Wilma, is back in the hospital -- she fell and has broken ribs, pelvis and toe. She is on a morphine drip. A DNR has been activated. Please pray for Lee's brother and sister who have power of attorney if she isn't able to regain clear thought. Lee is out hunting.

My sister Laura R. (lives in Texas) needs to find a 2-3 bedroom home so that they can get custody of the granddaughter. She and husband are also grieving the death of their daughter, the granddaughter's mom. Please pray for the door to literally open for a home, and favor from the landlord. she is also having day surgery to remove a lump in her uterus; please also pray that this will be covered completely by insurance and that she won't have out of pocket costs so that she will have the money when the home the LORD opens for them. It's all so complicated, but we serve a GOD who does the impossible

Original Request: Please join me and Claude in prayer for our son Nathan. Claude took him to the hospital about 11:30 today. The garage door fell on him full force. It's hit his neck and knocked him to the ground. We ask the Lord for peace and comfort for him and his wife Kami, as well as Gabriel his 7 year old son who was upset. We ask that God's perfect will will be done in Nathan's health care and in all other areas. Thank you very much for praying.

I am asking to pray about my family in Russia. My mother and brother contracted COVID-19. My brother has a high temperature. Luckily, they don’t have chest pain or coughing. My dad is the only who didn’t get sick so he is taking care of them two. I am asking to pray about their speedy recovery.

Update 9/6: My dad was released from the hospital on Thursday (which probably should not have happened because my mom can not take care of him on her own). There was an incident Friday morning that my mom had to get help getting him up off the couch. My uncle couldn't even get him up so they had to call the fire department to help. This morning the physical therapist came by and my dad's blood pressure was very high. So he is back in the emergency room. Odis and I are flying down tomorrow night, because there are many decisions to be made and I have power of attorney. Continue to pray for my parents and for us as we travel. This covid situation has us a bit nervous about traveling, but it seems we have no choice. ORIGINAL REQUEST: I just received a phone call from my mom in Texas to let me know my dad has been taken by ambulance to the hospital because he is having chest pains. She could not go with him because of the covid situation. Please pray for healing and peace.

UPDATE 9/21: Andy just texted me and asked that we pray for Dori because she is in excruciating pain in her hip and unable to walk. UPDATE 9/1: Please continue to pray for my friend's wife . She is having better days and is slowly improving. They are very grateful for God's touch upon her! ORIGINAL Request 6/10: Andy's wife, Dori, is very ill and has gone from doctor to doctor with little progress. After traveling state to state and hospital to hospital, they are now struggling to keep her stable. She now has to take medication just to keep her heart beating while she sleeps! Even though they are strong believers, the situation is almost overwhelming for all of them. Please lift them to the Lord in prayer, that He would show Himself mighty in their lives and that these great needs would be met in a marvelous way.

Update: 09/10/20 Thank you for your prayers for me during this time of unemployment. Please continue to lift me up to the Lord for his direction and will concerning full time work. In the meantime, I had an interview today for a part-time job in a ministry our church supports. Please join the director of this ministry and me in prayer for God’s direction and will as to whether or not I am a good fit for this position. It is a permanent position, and the Director knows that I will continue to seek a full-time job with medical benefits and better pay to meet my expenses. We are praying for His will and guidance for the ministry in filling the position with the right person; and me with regards to how I might serve this ministry whether as an employee or volunteer now and whether or not I’m employed elsewhere in the future. Thanks be to God for his faithfulness. Original Request 5/16: I have been terminated from my job. Please pray for me in this situation, that I will be attuned to God’s plan for me in my path forward. Thank you.
