Prayer Request

Received this from a friend:

Please keep my friend Marianne in your prayers. Her Mom just called me and she has another migraine and can’t feel the right side of her body. The ER doc told her on Saturday that because she has MS the migraines will be much worse and have complications. They want to get to the bottom of this so instead of going to the ER (again), they are going to her doctor’s office.

It seems crazy that your primary doctor is the person responsible for your daily medication and treatment, but whenever you have an acute sickness and go to the ER a different doctor treats you. Then, if you are admitted to the hospital, another doctor treats you and your primary doctor never evens sees you. This is a crazy system.

Her kids are little (Hunter is 3 and Laurianne is 2) and she wants a “normal” home life for them, not always running to the hospital.

Will you put her on the prayer list at your church? Her full name is Marianne Burns and she has Multiple Sclerosis. Thank you.

Prayer Request

A friend of mine, Nicole has a child, just two years old, who was recently diagnosed with autism. The financial hardships and time constraints of treatment and therapy are a lot to deal with. The family also has another child who is under the age of one.

Spiritually, Nicole is at a stand still in her faith and is in desperate need of our prayers and support. She is at a point where she knows that she could turn away and not look back and we must not allow that to happen! We know that the devil prowls like a lion seeking whom he may devour and it appears she is his current prey.

Let's all lift her up now in prayer that she will know GOD's presence in this situation and that her faith will be strengthened through this, that GOD will raise up a mother to be a Christian presence in this scientific disorder and a child that shows the love of GOD no matter what the struggle.

Please be in prayer for family and friends of Gina.

Please see this statement from a friend: "Gina was a young client of ours and she placed her 3rd baby for adoption at the end of the year last year & had really turned things around with the help of ALOT of people and over the weekend was shot [and killed] by her boyfriend."

Please pray for her family, her children and for our judicial system that the truth will be known. Also, please pray for those who assisted her in the adoption who will be attending the funeral Friday.

Prayer Request Update!

Here is an update regarding Jenny, a wife and mother of 5 who attends my church and teaches at my son's school.

Jenny spoke her first words to her husband this past weekend, saying: "I Love You". Isn't that amazing? Actually, it's GODmazing! She still has a long road for recovery and her left side is not working well yet, but she is making remarkable progress.

There is an account set up for her at the Blood Alliance, account #5553 for anyone wishing to demonstrate support for Jenny and her family. Donation locations can be found at http://www.igiveblood.com .

Please keep praying for Jenny and her family!
