I have a few urgent prayer requests - please join me as I lift them up to the Throne of Grace. If you have time please scroll down to the posts below and continue to cry out on behalf of those listed there as well as those on the sidebar.

Denise's husband, Eddie, has had a stroke. They were unable to administer the proper medicine in time to prevent the most damage. Please pray as he undergoes tests such as MRI's, CAT scans, etc.  Please pray for Denise as she is by his side and unsure of what is happenening or the outcome. Pray that the Lord will give her peace and comfort and that she will be strengthened in Him.

Pray for Doug's family and others...

"And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
(2 Corinthians 12:9)

Doug lost his battle with cancer this morning, but He won the victory that he obtained through the shed blood of his precious Savior and is experiencing the taste of the glorious splendor of our mighty God and King! Please pray for Loren and all of her family as they go through this sad and trying time. Even though we know our loved ones are with Jesus, we still miss them and mourn for them. Pray that God's peace will surround them all at this time and that He will be their comfort.

Jed - a new mass is growing in his right lung. He is currently on another round of chemo that will last 4 to 6 months. Pray that this treatment will do the job on this cancerous mass. Please remember his wife Diane at this time that the Lord will fill her with supernatural peace and that she will be able to stand by Jed's side and support him and be strong for him.

Gilbert - just diagnosed with mesothelioma (cancer). Please pray for him and healing from this terrible disease. Pray that he will be strengthened and comforted at this time.

Barrie - undergoing radiation after a lumpectomy for breast cancer.

Kat - she is still battling pain from an unknown source. Possibly OB/GYN related or GI related. Please pray that the doctors will find the source and that she will be able to obtain treatment to take of the problem. She is spending much of her time in bed and on pain medications and I know that she is ready to feel better and enjoy this season that we celebrate our Savior's birth! Lift her up to the throne of grace every time you think about it! She is a precious woman of God and we need to pray that God will raise her up mightily!

Mea - Kat's 6 year old niece. She is suffering from some type of eye disease that is taking the sight in one of her eyes. It is complicated, but basically we need to pray that the Lord will intervene and touch her eye and cause it to be whole and restored to perfect sight! Kat has the info on her blog if you want to hop over there and get the details. Her button is on the sidebar. Please pray for this precious little girl!

Alleluiabelle's sister - just found out there is the possibility of cancerous cells present in her urine. She had gone to the doctor for pelvic and back pain and upon taking the sample and getting the results back, he has now referred her to a urologist. She has an appointment the 22nd. Please pray that the Lord will touch her and heal her!

Melissa - continue to pray for her. She is doing so much better! She is getting her strength back so I know that her counts are getting better on her blood work! Her color is better and she is getting back to her old self! We go back Tuesday for labs and a doctor visit. Be in prayer that her liver enzymes are back to normal and that her hemoglobin is back to normal.  Thank you so much! I know that God performed a miracle in her life and I just continue to praise Him for it and give Him all the glory.

Thank you for joining me in prayer for these. If there are any more I need to add, just let me know. I count it an honor and a privilege to be able to pray for those in need. My God is an awesome and powerful God and nothing it too hard for Him!

In His Grip,
Beth

Prayer Needs - Lift them up to our Lord!

"Through the tender mercy of our God,
with which the Dayspring from on high has visited us;
To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
To guide our feet into the way of peace"
(Luke 1:78-79)

We praise you Lord, from the depths of our souls, that You came to be our light and that You shine on us when we are in the darkness and under death's shadow. Oh, precious Father, you are the sustainer of our being. You are the lifter of our heads. You are the beacon in our darkness. You are the one of who hides us, covers us and strengthens us. We ask that you cover those in sorrow and mourning. Give them supernatural peace. Grant them a glimpse of hope that comes from You. Bestow sweet mercy and comfort on their wounded hearts. Reveal yourself mighty to them at this time. Be near to them and let them feel the closeness like never before. Thank you sweet Jesus for all that you do. For all that you are. For all that we can be through you. You are indeed the King of kings and the Lord of lords. We pray this in the mighty and saving and sustaining name of Jesus Christ. Amen

+++++++++++++

Please lift up Andrew's family tonight. His mother Melanie, her husband and their other 2 children need a mighty manifestation of the presence of God. Andrew receiving his heavenly healing. He no longer suffers from cancer. He no longer is in pain. He no longer has to face uncertainty. He is worshipping our Savior at this very moment. He is on his face and giving all glory to God! Thank you Lord for the comfort you are giving and will continue to give to his precious family.

Continue to pray for Lori - she is the mother of young children and she is fighting a battle with cancer. A fierce battle with a fierce cancer. Oh, precious Father, I rebuke the hold that cancer has on this precious woman. I pray that if it be your holy will, that Lori will experience the healing in her body that will cause that cancer to depart. Father, if earthly healing is not what You have for Lori, I ask that You give her the strength and the faith that she needs to walk the path that she is heading down now. Lift her up. Grant her peace. Thank you Lord for being with Lori and her family at this time.

Sweet Doug still needs our prayers. As do Loren and her brother and the other family members. Doug is in the last stages of his battle with cancer and short of a miracle, Doug will be with Jesus soon. I am so thankful that Doug has accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Hallellujah! That is the most important factor here. Doug knows that if he isn't healed here on earth, that he will spend the rest of eternity with his precious Lord. Thank you Lord that Doug answered the call of repentance and salvation. Grant Loren and her family peace unfathomable and comfort immeasureable. Show them your love in a powerful way at this time. Let them glimpse the splendor of who You are. Thank you Lord for what You will accomplish through the life of Doug.

Pray for the Scotty Berry family. He is a man in our town that lost his short but agressive battle with cancer today. He was 70 years old and a precious man of God. He is celebrating with Jesus tonight! Thank you Lord that Scotty is in Your presence worshipping and praising You! Comfort the family and give them peace that only comes from You.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If there are any other prayer requests that I need to post, please feel free to email me or leave it in comments. I pray that there are many that are joining me in lifting these up. Prayer is a privilege and I am so thankful that God hears our cry and that He answers us. I am thankful that we serve a God who cares about us and loves us. Thank you for the time you take to read these and lift them up.

Scroll down to the list below and on the sidebar and lift those names up as well.

In the Grip of His eternal Grace,
Beth

Prayer and Praise! God is so Amazing!

"...then they will seek My face; in their affliction, they will earnestly seek me" (Hosea 5:15)


As we earnestly bow low and seek a Word from our Savior, let's lift up those in need of a powerful and mighty touch from our precious Father. He is the almighty Healer. He is the great Comforter. He is our Provider, our Friend, our Lord and our Master. He is everything that we could ever need. All that we could ever want. More than we can ever imagine. He is our all in all. He is Jesus. He is God.

Father, I ask that your perfect will be done in the lives of all these precious people. I ask that you cover them with your wing. I ask that you place a hedge about them. I ask that you reach down and touch them in a real and powerful way. I ask that you strengthen them. That you grant them peace. That you comfort hearts and minister to spirits. I ask that your precious spirit penetrate deeply in their souls. Reveal yourself to them in an amazing and awesome manner. Give them security in their beliefs. Bring healing to their bodies. Life to their weary souls. Pour yourself out to them and be all that need You to be. In the mighty and saving name of Jesus, Amen.

Doug - Loren's dad is not doing well. It appears that the 5 days of radiation he will obtain is pallative at best and they are preparing for hospice. Please pray for Loren and her brother! They need supernatural intervention from God to be able to stand in the face of this devastating news. Please pray that Doug has surety of salvation. That he knows without a shadow of a doubt He is a child of God.

Westin D - little boy with neuroblastoma. He has been battling this for several years and the cancer has returned. Please pray for Westin and his family.

Stephanie - I met this young girls (25) mom in ICU when Melissa was in the hospital. Stephanie is in the last stages of aids and the doctor feels she has a week or so left to live. Please lift up her mother Pam - this is very devastating to her and she is having a rough time.

Robert - He has started round 3 of chemo and round 1 of radiation. He is suffering big time from the radiation. His tongue is so swollen he can barely talk and he can't eat. He is relying fully on the feeding tube at this time which they had to put back in on Monday because it had come out. Please continue to lift him up and pray for complete healing! He is doing better, but still has a long way to go.

Lori - young woman with cancer - it has spread all over and she is not doing well at this time. Please lift her up as well as her family. She has young children and I know this is so hard for her to realize that she may be leaving the children behind. I can't image as a mother what she is going through. Please pray for her. She needs a miracle and my God is in the miracle business! Praise His name!!

Katie - Jackie's daughter experience a miracle last week! Praise the Lord that He put His hand upon this precious young lady and delivered her from an almost certain death.

Bill - Yolanda's husband had a procedure today and the doctors found nothing! Praise God that Bill has also experienced the mighty power of God's healing!

Edie - I pray that God blesses her abundantly! I ipray that God just surrounds her with the joy of who He is and that she is ministered to in a mighty way!

Jaime - I pray God's hand upon this young man. I pray He draws him close to His side and that Jaime experiences a mighty touch!

Thank you Lord, for what you are doing and will continue to do in the lives of all these mentioned and those on the sidebar. We love you and thank you for who you are. We love you for all you do. We love you with all of our hearts. You are all we need.  In Jesus name, Amen.

Prayer Needs - Lift them up to our Lord!

"I will lift up my eyes to the hills - from whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth." (Psalm 121:1,2)

Nothing brings comfort quite like knowing that God isour help. He is the maker of all things. He is the keeper of eternity. He is the creator. When we are in distress, He hears. When we are weary, He strengthens. When we are scared, He calms. When we can't, He can.

Praise you Jesus, for being mindful of us. Praise you Jesus for always being there and for tucking us safely in the cleft of the rock. You are awesome and amazing. You are astounding. You are glorious. You are God.

Prayer Requests

Doug - Loren's dad is not doing well. He is getting weaker and he is not eating. Loren will head to her dad's house next week to see her dad for herself and to spend some good quality time with her sweet father. Please pray that Loren and her brother will have a wonderful visit with their dad. Pray that Doug will be receptive to the need for his salvation. Pray that the Lord will strengthen and uphold him. Pray that the chemo will be doing it's job and the cancer is getting smaller.

Edie- unspoken request. Please pray that the Lord will reach down and touch this precious sister in Christ. Pray that He will show Himself mighty to her and that He will amaze her with what He can do in her life. Pray that God will continue to bless her and reveal His great glory to her.

Henninger family - pray for this precious family - Kimberly is about 11 weeks pregnant and at the last ultrasound there was something present around that babies brain called a cystic hygroma that could signal a chromosomal problem.

Stephanie - pray for this 25 year old young woman. I met her mom "P" in the waiting room when my daughter was in ICU. She has spinal meningitis and has been in the hospital 2 weeks. The last day I was there, the mom shared with me that she had just found out that Stephanie has Aids. The doctors finally convinced her to tell her mom. She is in the last stages and the doctors have told her mom that she probably wouldn't survive over 2 weeks. Please pray for this family. Stephanie did accept Christ as her Savior about 3 weeks ago. Praise God for that miracle!

Pray that the tests she has undergone will reveal the problem so she can get the proper medication. Pray that she will experience the mighty healing hand of our precious Lord!

Melissa - please continue to pray for my daughter. We are home but she is extremely weak and tired. She has several follow up appointments next week to monitor her blood counts. Pray for continued healing in her body. God has been so good and I give Him all the praise the He is so worthy of!

Thank you for lifting these precious ones up to the Throne of Grace. I love each and every one of you with the awesome love of Christ!
