iprayer Ladies Prayer Group
Welcome Ladies! (And any guys who are sneaking in...)
Let's start with a prayer together this week, then I'll leave the rest up to you guys!
Lord, we pray that Your Holy Spirit would guide us as we spend a few minutes lifting up these requests. These people who have come to us asking for help, asking for support, seeking your will. Be with us each individually as we spend time in prayer, for a couple of minutes or even hours, for a solid block of time, or in little moments alone with You. Help us to do Your will in everything, In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
We have lots of requests, so I'll just jump right in! But, before I do, I wanted to share a link with you for an incredible book my friend Amanda taught us about! It's called Praying in Color. So, if you have time, check it out! She even has a blog now!
Ok, here we go!
Remember, if you have any requests, just send me an email! I try not to use last names, and whenever possible, I cut and paste directly from the person making the request. Feel free to give as much, or as little detail as you want! Be on the lookout for people around you, and who you are in contact with who need prayer! Requests are in Blue and Praises are in Pink! I also send these all out in a weekly email to anyone who is interested!!!!
Request #1: Margaret - I would ask for prayers for our Fall Festival: 1) for the success of this event, and that new families with children would be led to the church through it. 2)Pray for the Lord's protection from harm for all who gather at this event. May the Lord be glorified during this event. 3) Also, that communications to coordinate help in the kitchen would be successful since there is not a lot of time to get the word out. 4) PRAY FOR HELPERS to come forward! As always, the harvest is great,but the workers are few.
Request #2: Jeanette -We got the results for Lionel. It's a tumor (hearing Arnold Sw. in my head) and cancerous. He will have surgery to remove it, don't know when at the moment. They are going to give an estimate on how much that will cost.
Request #3: MJ - We are leaving and heading to CA for my Aunt's wedding on Friday. So....please pray for travelling safety and issues such as security and luggage getting safely where it needs to, also for the bride and groom to be calm and enjoy themselves, that the 3 kids under 6 who are in the wedding will behave, Thomas is very afraid to fly because his ears popped and hurt last time, Sarah who is very pregnant and travelling with 2 little ones, etc. :-)
Request #4: Britney - On Oct.13 she is taking a BIG test for college. If she does really well, she has a good chance to get a full paid scholarship! She is really really nervous about it! She's been taking extra training, lots of extra studying, and meanwhile trying to lead a somewhat reasonable senior year! She plays volleyball (very seriously) and is having conflicts between wanting to be with the team for practices and the need to study. The pressure is beginning to really get to her now.
Request #5: MJ -My father-in-law had a very serious episode last Thursday that had him in the hospital overnight. It was originally being called a minor stroke, but they seem to have backed off of that diagnosis now. He woke up very confused and disoriented. He had a difficult time with movement and speech was effected. They ran lots and lots of tests (and lots and lots), one of which was an MRI that caused him an anxiety attack and they had to stop the test in the middle. It was very scary. Now, a week later, he is still very tired and unsteady, but the confusion seems to have all passed. The doctor today gave him another B12 shot and said they are going to do another bunch of tests, actually repeating some they've already done. (Let's really pray they don't repeat the MRI!!!) Please keep him in your prayers and all of the family as well.
Request #6: Let's remember the family who lost their toddler,
Kinlee Rylene Lathery

, when the father backed his car into her. This tragedy is soooo sad. Steven Curtis Chapman performed tonight in their honor and to support them. I pray the family and friends, and her father especially, will be able to forgive, heal, and survive this crisis.
Request #7: Teresa - Her friend, who she does Kung Fu with, has torn her hamstring away from the bone! They've told her she can either have a surgery to reattach it, or just wait! Not sure what she's going to do!
Praise: Jennifer- found out she is having a boy! :-) He is still healthy and doing great! She is too! I promised we would still pray for both of their safety. They have one healthy 4 year old, and have lost several little ones at about 9 weeks into the pregnancy. This time, she is already more than 20 weeks!!! He is doing SUPER!!!!
Update: Dad went to the doctor and they said, good news, it's just muscle soreness! (Not whiplash or worse!) But, for future reference, they said it is really important that he came in and got checked out, in case something came up later!
My Dad was in a car accident last Thursday. He had to stop suddenly on the expressway, because the car in front slammed on their brakes. The car behind him slammed into him! His car appears to be ok, and the car behind (driven by a 19 yr old man) was totaled. He has been having symptoms of whiplash, and was very shaken up. They said they thought the car that hit him was going about 50 miles per hour.
