October Prayer Requests

I haven't been a very good prayer blogger lately. I apologize for that, but I think I need to try something new as far as getting the prayer requests on here. I really want to leave the names up all month. I hate posting a new request and then feeling like the ones below it get overlooked, but at the same time, I don't want to have to retype the same thing over again for y'all to read all over again. So I am going to put the requests up and then if I get new ones that month, I will just add the names to the same post. So when you get notice of an update, you will know it is a new request.

UPDATED: 10/8

1. Jimmy H. had his surgery this morning. The doctor was able to move it up and I am praying that is was a huge success and that Jimmy is feeling some relief from the kidney cysts. Please continue to lift him up in prayer.

2. Lori - 45 year old diagnosed with cancer last year and only given 4-6 months to live. She has been living with this cancer for a year now. She recently started radiation for the cancer that had spread to her bones and was told just this week that the cancer had spread all over and multiplying quickly. Lori has 3 children and they lost their dad only 2 years ago to cancer as well. Please lift up this entire family during this devastating time. It is a nightmare and I know the only way they will get through this is through the power of our loving God.

3. remember Chelsea?? I saw her this week and she is in rehab 5 days a week and then her mom can bring her home over the weekend. She was in a wheelchair - still working on walking. Her speech is improving and her memory is doing a tiny bit better. She is a true miracle after being hit by a car going at least 55 mph. Please continue to lift Chelsea up in prayer that she WILL walk again!

1. Jimmy H. (Beth E's brother) - will be having surgery to drain the cysts in his kidney on 10/12.  He will also be having a nuclear medicine study on 10/19. Please be in prayer for Jimmy as far as his kidney healing and that he will put on some of the weigh that he has lost. Also please pray that God will speak to him and that Jimmy will listen, hear and respond.

2. Elaine - she began her chemotherapy treatment and we just need to lift her up to the throne of Grace! Pray that the chemo will target the bad cells and that the healing process is in the works! Pray that she will suffer minimal side effects and that God will just hold her close and bestow peace unfathomable upon her.

3. Stacey - pray for healing of her physical ailments. Cleansing of her mind. Renewal of her spirit.

4. Marie - (Stacey's mom)

5. Robert - Stacey's friend with end stage cancer. He needs JESUS! Please pray that his heart will be receptive and that he will experience an awakening of the love of Christ.

6. Jed - healing from cancer. Peace. Comfort.

7. Ava - little girl with cancer

8. Bennett - premature baby that is now over 3 pounds. Praise God! He is doing great and just growing and healing!

9. Larry - pastor at the church we were at in New Mexico. He is having shoulder surgery 10/7. Please pray that the surgery will be successful and that he will be restored back to health!

10. Jack - husband of Teresa at http://teresa-grammygirlfriend.blogspot.com/. He had a stroke about 3 days ago and almost died. He was alone when it happened in a hotel and the maid found him. He is doing so much better at this point. Please pray for him that God will continue to raise him up and do a mighty work in his life.

10. Melissa - please continue to pray for her as she is mourning her father's death. That isn't something that you just get over - I know. It is hard and I just ask that you pray God's ministering spirit upon her.
