Prayer requests come rolling in!

I told you when we agree to pray, the prayer requests come rolling in! :-) I'm just glad we know that God always answers prayers!

Request #1: Amber - Two emergency room trips in one day ... whew!! I took Landon this afternoon because he was having severe chest pains (that he's been having for 3 days) and he was diagnosed with pluerisy. Got home and Rylan's fever had spiked again (over 104) and it's day 4 of the fever so I took him tonight and he has the flu and a double ear infection. Got them medicine ... now I just need something for sanity. :-)

I looked on www.BibleGateway.com and found several encouraging verses that tell us that God hears and answers our prayers. I thought they might help you today to remember that even though sometimes when we hear these sad stories and upsetting prayer requests, we don't need to throw our hands up and think "well what can I do?" Our prayers DO make a difference. I was especially interested in James 5:15. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on that one! :-)

I left the links that the computer automatically made to go to each verse on Biblegateway, in case you wanted to read more about them!

Have a good one!
