PRAYER LIST

I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers....Philemon 4

And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he hath committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.  Confess your faults to one another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed.  The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much....James 5:15-16

***Prayer Request for Charla Nash.  Charla is a 55- year old hardworking single mom who didn't have much but was generous to others, volunteered at an abused women's shelter, and helped people whenever she could.  On February 16, she was brutally attacked by Travis, the 200-pound chimpanzee owned by her friend in Connecticut. The extent of her injuries are not fully known but reports were that she lost her hands, jaw, nose, and eyes.  Her injuries were so severe that counseling was offered to the doctors who first treated her. A recent report indicated the chimp took her eyelids but her eyes are still there.  **They don't know if she will be blind.  The latest report said she also had traumatic brain injuries and might be brain damaged.  She has a 17-year old daughter who is staying with neighbors in Connecticut while her mother is in the hospital, and her brothers are caring for her.  She is in critical condition at the Cleveland Clinic, a hospital that does face transplants, but it is not known yet if she is a candidate for a transplant because a lot of the underlying bone structure of her face is gone. Please remember Charla and her family in your prayers.  They really need a miracle.  Donations would also be very helpful because if Charla survives she will have a very long hard road ahead of her and will need a lot of care.  You can check out the website put up by her family by going to www.nashtrust.com..  Thank you and God bless you Prayer Warriors.  **The latest report as of April 09 is that Charla will be permanently blind.

***Please keep Celine's family in prayer.  Her father just passed away and her brother has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

***Please pray for healing and deliverance for K.R. who is battling addictions and the results of an accident. He is grateful for your prayers.

***Please pray for all abused and neglected children and children of narcissistic, borderline, or mentally ill parents, especially those who manage to stay under the radar by hiding the abuse so that Child Protective Services cannot find out or so reports that are made cannot be proven.  Many of these children suffer or are killed every year, and much of the abuse is mental or emotional and is almost impossible to prove.  We need to pray that the truth will come out in all these cases so that the children can be protected.

***Please keep Sister D. Jones in prayer for urgently needed protection from abuse and a healing touch from the Lord.  Your prayers are very appreciated.

Thank you Prayer Warriors, we are deeply grateful for your prayers.

***PRAISE REPORT:  Ed went to the hospital today for his dangerous and very frightening heart procedure, but the doctors could not find anything wrong with his heart!  The procedure was cancelled and he is home safe!  Hallelujah!  Only the Great Physician could have done this!  We were praying earnestly though the night and this morning Ed was healed with no medical intervention! Glory to God and thanks be to our Lord and Savior Jesus!   Ed and his family are very grateful for all your prayers!  Thank you, Prayer Warriors, and God bless you!

***Please pray for Ed, who is having serious heart problems and will be hospitalized in two weeks for a procedure to try and remedy his illness. They are going to stop his heart and start it again, which is terrifying for him and his family. When he could not go to work because or his health, his boss of  16 years fired him, and then canceled his health insurance without telling him!  So, instead of being able to concentrate on regaining his health, Ed is now worried about medical bills and where he might be able to get another job.  He and his family are in great need of your prayers.  Thank you and God bless you, Prayer Warriors!

***PRAISE GOD!! HE IS SO WONDERFUL!  This week two families were re-united!  One joyful reunion was that we found my niece Franny!  Not knowing where Franny was was such a hole in our hearts.  We had not seen her in three years.  I had asked you all to pray 9 months ago, and you were so kind to help us and take the time to lift our troubles to the Lord.  And now God  has answered our prayers!  We spoke on the phone this week and Franny and her baby are fine.  They only live 150 miles from us, so we hope to see them in person this summer, depending on her schedule.  She was so overjoyed to have us back in her life, and we are so overjoyed to have her back in our lives.  Because of your prayers, she has her only family back and my sons have their cousin back!  Thank you so much dear Sisters and Brothers, for praying for us!  Glory and profound gratitude to our Lord! 

***Please keep Sister Sheila in your prayers for protection and peace.

***Please pray for the Lord's protection for Sister Terry and Kenneth and for peace in their lives.

***My Testimony of Praise- As many of you know, in 2005 the enemy's attacks on our family were relentless. The year started with our oldest son needing all four wisdom teeth pulled. In March, my husband fell off a ladder and broke his hip.  The night after his surgery, our younger son was taken to the emergency room with food poisoning.  He spent two days in the hospital and lost two weeks from work.  My husband was in the hospital and rehab for three weeks and had a long, difficult recovery. One night I couldn't swallow and had a lot of pain in my face and head.  At first they thought I was having a stroke, but it turned out to be Bell's Palsy, and my blood-pressure had skyrocketed.  I was told the Bell's Palsy would get worse and could last a year- but I went home and prayed, and it was better the next day.  Hallelujah!  Then in July, my husband had a heart attack, more surgery, and another long recovery.  Shortly after that, our youngest son was again taken to the hospital, this time with chest pains.  Thank God, it was only a pulled muscle in his chest.  In the next few months, he needed minor surgery as well as two wisdom teeth pulled.  Throughout the whole year, our  two dogs had a total of seven surgeries between them, for cancer, torn ACL, dislocated knee, recurrent and painful hematoma in an ear, etc.  We finished the year with another emergency room visit for our youngest son, who needed his appendix taken out.  Later we found out it had ruptured, but the Lord spared him a serious infection.

      Through every disaster, we trusted in  the Lord and he pulled us through every one.  We are all recovered now and doing fine, even our dogs.  God is so good.  The stress and fear can be overwhelming sometimes, but I can't imagine going through it if I didn't have my Father to lean on.  Each and every situation we went through last year could have been so much worse, if it were not for Jesus protecting us every minute.  By his grace alone do we stand!  I just want to give all the glory and honor to God for his mercy in protecting me and my family.  As we look back on that year from hell, we are so thankful that at least we are all here to look back on it!  Thank you, Father!  We praise you, Lord!
