Prayers for Good Job!

My husband lost his good job two years ago this weekend due to a DUI. The past two years have been filled with lots of tears, struggles, and defeat. We know that this is all part of God's plan for our lives, but are praying that these trials end soon. He has been able to find employment, but it is not enough to support our family of 6. We are praying that God has mercy on our family, and opens the doors for my husband to find a good paying job close to home. I pray that he continues to surround him with good Christian influences as well. My husband is a good man, father, and husband that just lost his way. He is on the right track now, but all the constant rejection and labeling is very wearing on him. Please pray that our family will be blessed with a good job very soon, and that my family will continue to grow in God's amazing grace!

Prayers for Leslie

I would like prayers for my cousin Leslie.

I got this email from my Aunt Linda yesterday, 'Leslie has been sick for 3 weeks, fighting a staph infection called MRSA. She has been going to the hospital every day for 2 weeks where they put an IV in her wrist with strong meds. Then they doubled the meds. Every other day they drew blood to make sure her kidneys could take it. The goal is to get rid of it before it hits her blood stream and organs. A few days ago Leslie got excited, as they thought it was finally responding. As of today, the doctor said there is no real progess. He is sending her on to an Infectious Disease doctor in Quincy. They stopped all IV drips. However, the doctor in Quincy cannot see her until June 5th, and this infection is climbing from her forehead into her hairline. Paul and I want to take her to Mayo, Iowa City...somewhere. She sees Dr. McKenney on Friday and wants to wait until then. The point is, Leslie really needs prayers. She has been fighting this for 3 weeks and is making no headway. Leslie is taking this in stride, but worn out and taking care of her family.'

If you can please please pray for my cousin Leslie. She has three little kids that she's trying to care of while being sick. Thank you very much! -Julie

Please pray that Father God will put on Senator LaHood's heart to keep his word, and help the people regarding the tragedy of SB1686, and that there is no need for all these children to be adopted. I have tried to get a meeting with Governor Quinn, and to no avail. Thank you...In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Sickness, Sadness, and Sorrow of Memories and Heart

Jane Fairchild

I have been sick since last Friday with a bad cold virus. Because of added stress, and my cold virus - this also has affected my emotions. Please pray for healing.

I saw my only nephew, Kirk , about 2 weeks ago. When I saw him I shared with him that I really would love to see his children. Kirk's wife does not want anything to do with me, and she refuses for me to ever meet their children

Paul (my only brother) and I finally reconciled our differences in February 2013, and I received the most precious birthday card from him this past week for my birthday. I am thanking our Lord for bringing my brother back into my life.

God placed a young man in our lives, Emad. He immigrated legally to America at the age of 19 years old from Egypt. Leaving behind all his family in Egypt to come to America. Soon he came to visit us in Illinois. He now lives with us. One last thing - A very close friend of ours passed away on Monday night.It was expected, as he was diagnosed with cancer in January, but he was only 56 years old.

Please pray as I have a pornography addiction. I need help. I need healing. But I feel like I cannot tell anyone. I need prayer. The evil one has a grip on me and I want to be free.

Steve Update/Praise

I wanted to give you a quick update on Steve. He has been moved from one hospital into another. He is being weaned off of the ventilator, and may be completely done with it by next week. He is still catatonic most of the time but he has his moments when he will do what he is asked. He did mouth the words I love you to his wife. Praise God!

Praises from a Thankful Heart!

A relative of ours (who lives in another state) just found out she is "expecting". She and her husband have been wanting a baby so badly and had asked us to pray. What joy we felt to get her phone call last night. Praise God. Thank you Lord! How wonderful You are. Who is like you, Oh God? Thank you-thank you-thank you.

Also, God has blessed my husband and I financially today. Our Heavenly Father always comes through when we need help. We sometimes sell things we do not need, or buy things and mark them up and sell them, through an online sales channel. Today we sold furniture, and after all expenses made $101. Isn't that amazing? We are praising the Lord. We are very thankful. We are grateful. God has blessed my husband and I, and we are praying that everyone who reads this post will also be blessed, In Jesus' Name. That God will pour out his favor . . . He longs to bless his people, you know. So have faith and He will do it. Remember to wait on the Lord. It's all in His perfect timing. Whether you need help with finances, job, relationship, whatever it is. God hears the prayers of His people.

Desperate Need for a New House

Holly

My family has a desperate need for a 5 bedroom home as soon as we can get one. Where we are living currently is no longer going to be safe for us. A criminal is being released very soon and we fear he will come around if he still knows our location. The problem is that since this home is not sold yet, the money is not immediately available either. Please pray that God will work a miracle and provide for our welfare, or somehow see that the man is kept in prison and not released at all. Thank you for your loving prayers.

College

Kayla

I am asking for prayers and patience. I am about to start my sophomore year at Methodist College, June 3rd. I was just told that I have to have half of my summer tuition paid on or before May 31st. I am asking for patience, because I pay for my own schooling. I do not ask my parents for help, since they are paying my medical bills from last year as I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer, as well as my mothers bills from diabetes and Celic. I know God will provide if it is meant to be. I know he has called me to be a Registered Nurse, so it is through him that I will find a way to pay for my school. Please pray for patience as I wait for answer's from God. It is through him that anything is possible. Thank you!

Prayers for a Friend

My client and friend, Terry has asked me to pray for her grand daughter, Mia. She is 3 years old and has been having terrible seizures since January. She has asked that we pray for God's healing hand, and if it's God's will that the seizures not be taken away please pray that Mia's doctors will be able to figure out how to keep them under control so that she has a normal productive life.

I'm also asking for prayers for Terry. While speaking with her today I learned that she has been feeling very angry. Life has not been kind to her and she feels like she is at the end of her rope. She has survived cancer twice and one cancer scare. She has lost close family members, including her brother who was very close to her. She has survived a broken marriage, and a medical scare with her current husband. Please pray that God shows her the kind of peace that only He can provide.
