Ask for Prayer & Pray for Others

A good friend of mine has an adult son who will be having brain surgery next Tuesday. She knows God’s Hand is on him and she would love for us to join her in prayer for a safe surgery, an excellent outcome, and quick healing.

Please pray for Joe. He is in a lot of pain. He has been diagnosed with several kidney stones (both kidneys) and the doctors are hopeful that he will pass them. He has been suffering for several weeks now and needs the Lord's healing touch. Please lift him up... for strength to endure, relaxation of the muscle tissue so the stones can move, and relief from the pain. But most of all, for healing from the very cause that produces these stones!

UPDATE: Tom is awake and no longer intubated. He may be able to go home later this week. The recovery process will take some time. Please continue to pray for him at God will make Himself known. ORIGINAL REQUEST: Please pray for Tom, his wife Cindy, and their son Christopher. Tom has been in the hospital in Anchorage for a week and is in worse condition than when he arrived. Tom is intubated and sedated. Tomorrow they will do a heart catheterization to measure his blood volume. They took 1.5 liters of fluid out of his pleural cavity Monday, and today the X-ray shows it has all come back. No clue why. The doctor is baffled. He has not woken up yet, despite being off sedation for a few hours. Please pray for God’s hand in the medical situation and that their hearts will turn to God where they seek Him and find salvation in the midst of a life-threatening situation.

UPDATE: Walter is back home. The surgery was successful and the doctors are very pleased. They were able to do everything laparoscopically so there was very little impact to the muscles of his back. Thank you so much for praying. It means so much to him. Please continue to pray for God's healing touch and a speedy recovery. Original Request: Please pray for my younger brother Walter. He collapsed today at work. He has ruptured a disc in his back and had to be rushed to the hospital. He is in excruciating pain and on heavy medication. Pray for his comfort and for God's healing touch upon him. Also, pray for his wife Kim to have peace in her heart in the midst of this situation and for the doctors to have wisdom as they determine what type of surgery is needed.

My mother, Mary DeZarn, was taken to the hospital earlier this week, and is now on life support for her lungs due to complications of COPD and pneumonia. Thank you for keeping her in your prayers as she heals from this. Thank you, Don

Update 2/13/19: Josh is making some life decisions about his education track and soccer. He needs discernment and God’s guiding hand. Original Request: Pease pray for our son Josh for knowledge, wisdom, discernment and understanding. Pray God lifts Josh up with His victorious right hand. (Isaiah 41:10 NLT) and that Josh comes to a deep personal relationship with Christ.

UPDATE on 2/06/19 Update on my brother Edward. He has been refusing most of his heart medications as of yesterday and he has had a strong distrust of doctors, and medications because of his mental illness. But today the nurse said he willingly took them! Also, he has agreed to assisted living which he had been strongly against. Please pray with me that we could find one that suits him well, also that we could find one quickly. I give thanks and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ for answering this prayer!! Thank you all so much for praying! It means so much. ORIGINAL: My brother Edward Gonzalez has been admitted to the hospital. It was discovered that he may have cancer. He has many blood clots in his body and lungs and is in danger of a stroke. The Doctor says he may have as little as 3 or 6 months to live. Please pray for his peace and comfort. He needs to know the Lord.

Please be in prayer for my son-in-law, who had surgery to remove a portion of his colon. The surgery went well and he is already home from the hospital. Please pray that the Lord will reveal Himself to my daughters' family so that they may truly come to know Him!

Please lift up my sister, Pam, in your prayers. She has admitted herself into a program. Please pray for her to stay the course, to draw near to our Lord, and to trust Him with what lies ahead. I'd appreciate prayer for wisdom, to give her just the right amount of support and encouragement. Thank you.
