crying out to our Lord on behalf of many

"I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to
be praised; so shall I be saved from
mine enemies."
(Psalm 18:3)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"He sent his word, and healed them,
and delivered them from their
destructions."
(Psalm 107:20)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, precious heavenly Father, I am so thankful that you are a God who loves us and cares for us and who is our ever present help. You are our deliverer, our fortress, our refuge. You are our help, our comfort, our peace.

When nothing else does, You can. When no one else will, You supply.

You are our rock. Our mighty God. Our Savior. Our friend.

You redeem, restore and rebuild.

You cover completely. You surround us with your healing arms. You provide just what we need at the right time. You are an on-time God.

Lord, as I list these names before you tonight, I ask that your will be done in each life. I ask that you minister and heal just as your will dictates. I lift each precious one up to you and ask that you touch hearts, minister to souls and reveal truth. I ask that you give guidance and direction. Give hope and comfort. Light the paths of those in darkness and deepen the yearning for more of you.

I give you ALL the praise and glory and honor that is due you. I rejoice in the healings and the breakthroughs. I thank  you for all that you are doing in their lives and that you will continue to do. You are the mighty Healer. You are the One and Only. You are God.

In the mighty, saving, delivering and redeeming name of Jesus Christ,
Amen.

Friday afternoon, a young woman that is a friend of ours and a teacher,left school after their first day back. She had gone by her parents house, who live right next door (if you can have next door in the country). She had been to the doctor a few weeks ago and had been put on some medication to treat a potential heart problem. She wasn't feeling well and since her husband and oldest son (12) had gone to Arkansas to make a purchase, she left her youngest son (3) at her moms and went home to lie down. Less than an hour later, she called her parents and said she was having trouble breathing.

By the time the called 911 and got to her house, she was unresponsive. Her dad performed CPR while they waited, but when the ambulance arrived, they pronounce her dead.

Daphne had just turned 40 years old 13 days before. Her 17th wedding anniversary was yesterday. In a blink of an eye, she was gone to be with Jesus.

As we stood in the funeral home tonight, I saw her dad in anguish over losing his daughter. But I also heard him say that just because he didn't understand why God took her home, it didn't change his trust and faith in Christ. Her husband is still so devastated, that he couldn't even come to the funeral home.

Please pray for the Jones and Cochran families as they lay Daphne to rest tomorrow. She was a precious woman who loved the Lord and who always had a smile and who was the life of any gathering of people. She will be missed.
