Updates on answered prayer # 92
PTL as the mail has just come and we got 2 letters. One was my new bank card so we wont be without one when mine finished at the end of the month. We also got a pin number which we had been waiting for from google for the adverts on our site. It means we can now be paid for those adverts and search.

We have had quite a few sales in the last couple of days so PTL for that.

We have some major decision to make in the next few days, so we would appreciate your continued prayers. We need to go back to the UK and need to know the timing of that, plus what we should be doing with our apartment here.

I just had a chance to speak with Fayrda for a few moments. They are at school, as Russell wanted to go back and finish his work for today, but will be going home soon. The doctor at the clinic told Russell to make sure he stays in a moist environment and to use a saline nasal spray frequently (we have many of those in the house). The irritation is due to dry air. He may not need to see an ENT after all, just keep things moist.

God really blessed with this one. Fayrda told me that she actually had to have an ambulance come and take Russell to the ER this morning. He was bleeding quite badly. Very odd and frustrating that an ER doctor never did examine him and that they advised Fayrda to leave since the nose bleed had stopped. I'm glad Russell was able to be treated by a doctor at the clinic.

We will be crashing and relaxing this evening, that is for sure. It has been quite an exciting day.

God has made a way, and I thank you all for your prayers.

Thanks P. W that's what I did, I went to the site you suggested.
I am part of a christian prayer internet group that I would like to invite you to be a part of.

Guidance Grief & Sadness
Comments: My Dear Friends
Friday, March 3, 2006 my beloved baby boy RILEY (age 10) journeyed to HEAVEN.
I know GOD does things for a purpose and I accept this was his will, and at this time I know my baby Riley is there in Heaven. But right now my heart hurts so bad from missing him, so please I need your prayer for strength to get through these days. I thank you all for for your prayers. GOD blessings and love to you all too.
Joanne --

Response:

Grief in our heart brings us before You, Almighty God. The fight for life of Riley is over with. Their life has been denied. This child has given up at the invitation to earthly living and now rests in Your care in heaven.
 
We can not begin to realize the battle for Riley that was waged. We cannot begin to ever forget the life and hopes that was given to us so very briefly. We cannot begin to forget the pain within us of this young one never given a chance to experience life in fullness.
 
We pray for the birth mother, Joanne, and father who are so terribly hurt at this loss. We pray for the years that are robbed from them. We pray that the memories stolen can somehow be replaced with other fond memories. We pray that they can pass through death to living again in their lives.
 
We pray that people surrounding this life do not shun themselves from this loss, but participate in this grief with compassion and Godly strength to minister to the parents.
 
We pray that we know no other path or comforts but Jesus, who although He knew suffering, also desired that the little ones be gathered unto Him.
 
We pray, O Holy Spirit, who is also called our Comforter, that You might be pre-eminent and comfort those that grieve the loss of Riley. Apart from You we have no hope of words that will suffice. Apart from the anger and denial we feel, we know that You can work through these issues with us.
 
Receive Riley in the Kingdom of heaven and comfort the parents. Keep them in Your arms. Send those that understand and can empathize.
 
We hold You to the promise that those that mourn are blessed. Grant the mourners in this Riley's life hope eternal that it was Your will, understood or not, that desired this child to be with You, through our Savior, Christ Jesus. Amen

Message Board request:

Name: Betsy



 I want to make this quick and then go down the list of requests. Here's mine to add to the mix:

My mom's church is really seeking God's direction for their church. It's faring very poorly. One day a week they are all fasting/praying that His will be heard, and done. Could you join her in the prayers (South Hills PCA)?

I am really at the end of myself on the eating. I continue to clean things out of the house so I am making progress there. I have great support so I have good progress there. But the more I eat, the more depressed I am, etc. It's a downward spiral and I really want to do right by God. I know He doesn't have this in mind for me.

Any prayers are greatly appreciated!

Response:

Lord, we join with Sarah's church members that are seeking Your will and guidance in the direction of that church. We pray that You rejoice in the prayers and fasting and that You pour out a blessing upon this congregation. Revive the, O Lord that Christ Jesus may be glorified.

We also seek Your favor upon Betsy, dear Lord. She needs to be strengthened to follow her eating plan. She needs a fresh touch from You and she needs to have her motivation restored. May it please You to bless her by giving her new insight and renewed determination. We ask in the name of the Bread of Life, Jesus. Amen

Lord I lift Joanne to you, Lord your word says you are near to the broken hearted, Lord touch and mend Joanee's broken heart.
Lord speak peace and comfort to Joanee, and fill the void that her som Riley has left, as only you can.
Lord I ask for you to touch Joanee and let her know you are with her and you will help her thru.
Bless Joanne as only you know the anguish she is facing.
Mercy, oh Lord Mercy.

Message Board Request from Toni:

Please pray for my mother in law, Betty. She wasn't feeling well this weekend and they finally talked her into going to the ER on Sunday. The doctors found out that she had a mild stroke. They kept her over night and are running multiple tests on her to find out the cause of the stroke and see if surgery is necessary.

Betty is blessed to have children who live close, and her church family around her in her time of need.

Response:

"Father, again we come to you as our Divine Healer. Your child Betty needs a special touch from Your mighty hand. Give the doctors wisdom as they perform tests and develop a treatment plan. Bring Betty back to full and complete health.

We pray this in the matchless name of Jesus, amen."

Let us know how your MIL is doing, Toni.

DAVE

I was recently made aware that one prayer request that I had posted in this forum was unappreciated. Although this person came for prayer on one of my message boards, they were upset I posted it here without their permission. I post here for a larger audience and gathering of pray-ers. After cooling down and much consideration, I will omit posting on this board from my ministries. Thank you that have been dedicated to prayer.

O Lord, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.
So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.
I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.
I spread out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.
Answer me quickly, O Lord; my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go to the pit.
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
For your name's sake, O Lord, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble. -Psalm 143

This psalm is the outcry of an overwhelmed spirit that is unable to abide in the highest rate of spiritual prayer. His spirit had grown faint and his heart was distraught. He was completely distressed and literally in tears. However, despite his state, he remembered what God had done in the past, and this helped to renew his strength and faith in God. As he remembered, he stretched out his hands to God and 'thirsted for him like a parched land,' and his prayer suddenly become more impassioned.

Like David, I am certain that we have all reached points in our lives when our spirits have become overwhelmed with worry, pain, doubt, and fear. Maybe you faced financial hardship, heartbreak, a bad report from the doctor, or assault from your enemies. Maybe it was hard to trust God or even see his hand through the pain that clouded your spirits. Whatever the case may be, I want to urge you to remember the days of long ago and meditate on all of God's works and consider what he has done for you in the past. Let this give you the strength to stretch out your hands towards Heaven and passionately cry out to God.

Our prayers are so important because it is through prayer that we connect with Christ and gain the strength to get through any situation we find ourselves in. I charge you to be more honest in your prayers. Don't come to God reciting prayers or trying to be grammar conscious, instead, pour your hearts out and let your prayer be honest and passionate. Prayer should never be just a question and answer session; it should be a spiritually passionate experience that moves you to another realm mentally, spiritually and emotionally. If you ever leave a prayer session feeling the same way you did before you started, then you haven't prayed. So brethren, have you prayed lately?

David prayed and he moved the heart of God and was considered to be a man after God's heart. When you pray, what happens?

Stay blessed in the Lord and spread the word.

In Christ,
Rachael Olorunnisola

I want to thank all, who prayed for my 2 yr old granson Collin.
He is doing pretty good after surgery, his appetite needs to come back and he needs to regain some strength.
Thanks to all.
Debbie

I have to tell you how beautiful the prayers are and how inspiring they can be. The one by Rachael on 3/31/06 was so touching. I am making it a point to make more time to nourish my soul with these messages. I have work to do on myself, I need the strength to do it and I thank all who contribute for the good that they do with their words. Right now, I have some fear in dealing with some things but I pray that I will gain strength from these readings. Bless all of you.

 annemarie

Gracious God, we ask You to be with Annemarie and walk her through the uncertain times. Help her to firmly clasp Your hand and she walks in Your power to overcome her fears. Calm her, comfort her and protect her. Grant her spiritual growth in Your Kingdom and the perfect love that the Bible describes that casts all off fears. Through Christ who promises never to leave or forsake us. Amen

Lord we ask you to bless Annemarie, Lord she is atleast willing to start the healing process and that's a good place to be.
So I ask you to lead her step by step through healing, Lord when it gets to be to much give her sould rest to continue on later.
Lord we thank you for the work you are doing in her life, and we thank you for her blessing us with her gentle spirit.

I need prayer for my life to come together. In a month I will be unemployed and I have no offers on the table right now. I also need to finish school and I would (with GOD'S permission) get married and start a family. Please remember me. Thanks. RV

Gracious Father,
RV has so much upon her plate right now. We see upcoming changes and in all areas that we need Your guidance and blessings upon.
We ask You in the arena of employment that You might send a position that would be perfect for her to not just make a living, but where she could see a glimmer of her serving you. We take it that the current position has come to an end, You have shut that door, but so that You might open another that is of greater opportunity. We put our trust in You to provide an income within a stimulating environment. We thank You that when we have doubt or fear, we have Your promise to be our Provider. We ask in the name of Jesus to see this come to pass and that speedily.
We ask for Your blessing upon her continual education. May that certification be completed. May that education be valuable and used. May she know Your hand was upon her this entire academic period.
Looking ahead of these basic needs we look to marriage and family. We know it alone will only come to pass if we seek to glorify You in the choice of partner and in the desire to dedicate children to Your name. Bless, Lord and fill the desire of RV's heart to walk with You and to have her desires fulfilled.
In the precious name of Jesus, we are claiming that You will have Your way, and You will find her rejoicing over each answer. Amen
