Prayers for a friend. He had total hip replacement on January 12, came home on January 15, and developed a UTI infection on January 21. We are still battling high fevers. We will be going back to the doctor tomorrow to see what the next step is. As always, we Praise God for all the friends we have who have sent cards, prayers, and many other blessings in the way of rides, etc. As he is known to say “God is Good, All The Time!!”

We want to share that we got a call this morning from a friend that her husband who was taken to hospital yesterday for a problem with his heart was released and sent home. All is okay. Praise God. We also Praise God for the work that he continues to do in our friend. He is doing fantastic since his lung surgery. Is on no Oxygen. Walks everyday with no shortness of breath. He is full of energy. He has also not smoked since his surgery and is now in his 6th year drug free. He shared yesterday that he got in touch with Literacy Volunteers to help him read. He will be starting his classes with a tutor in February. It is truly amazing to see the transformation in his life and to see God hand at work . He recently had his car go and has no vehicle. We pray that God will provide the opportunity for him to get another vehicle that will be reliable and affordable for him.
We ask for prayers for our grandchild who is having to deal with cancer. We have learned that he will be starting chemotherapy. It is going to be a powerful combination, with side effects and for a long duration. Our hearts are hurting as the only thing we can do is pray. We pray for strength and courage to face the situation. We pray for comfort for him. We pray for the power of God to work in this situation and we pray for comfort and strength for the family. As we were reading our bible this morning in John Chapter 9 about the blind man who was born blind and the disciples asked, why was he born blind ? was it the result of his own sins or those of his parents? Jesus replied , It was because of his sins or his parents sins. He was born blind so the power of God could be seen in him. As we read this we thought about our grandson and why does he have cancer? was it because of his sins or his parents sins and we know that it is neither, it is so the power of God can be seen in him. We do not know where God is in his life. We pray that God will reveal himself and show his power, strength and Glory through him. Keep us in prayer as our plate is full and our hearts are heavy. We surely need to feel God’s presence , his grace and love.

I am requesting prayers for the family of my cousin. My aunt found him dead of a massive heart attack – he is her only child and would have been 39 this year. He leaves behind a wife and two small children. He also leaves behind two young adult children from another relationship and they had already lost their mother to suicide some years ago.

I have prayer requests for 2 co-workers and one of my school parents. Please pray for a friend’s sister who had surgery and is awaiting the outcome of more tests. Also, another friend who has had surgery and is not recovering well. She has been very ill. Please pray God’s healing hands will touch these two ladies.
Also, please pray for a friend and her husband as they travel this weekend to pick up their daughter from college. She has been very depressed and discouraged and they are bringing her home. Please pray for safe travels, and a healing for their daughter’s spirit.
Thank you prayer warriors.
