Comforting Faith Newsletter

Since I was unable to send out my email to ask for new and updated prayer requests, I will repost the ones from last week with the only new ones being from Marie who regularly sends me a copy of her prayer chain.

From Fred in AZ – We have found a house that we want to purchase. It’s on “short sale” so it may be some time before we find out if we are approved. Please pray that we are able to buy this home.

From Gloria in FL – I still have not found those VERY important papers. Please pray that I will soon be able to locate them.

From Beth in FL – Seems like things are pretty much as they were. No jobs for Kathy in Australia. Her son is back in college there. Praise God for the almost free education in Australia for persons born there. Kathy is a go-getter so someone has to recognize it and have a place for her. Rick works once or twice a week in the food/drink industry. He is going to lifeline/Bible study with his mother and I, and taking his children ages 3 & 5 to their classes. He has enrolled in the junior college for the fall so as to prepare for other roles. The Lord helps those that help themselves is a true adage. But his timing is not ours, so patience, dear Lord and help us to stretch the loaf much further. My health has a setback. My right hip has severe pain. I went to the doctor yesterday and he gave me a shot of cortisone. Not much better today. I’m counting on it working! Thanks for your prayers.

From Millie - Please ask the entire prayer circle to pray for the economy ... so many people are losing jobs, and those of us in retirement are finding our nest eggs disappearing, even though we were careful and did everything "right".

From Lisa

Praise From WhiteDove - Recently, after 6 weeks in bed and not much nourishment, near starvation, my husband started coming around and walked for the first time in 6 weeks. His pain had left and he now is taking solid foods and strength is returning. he has therapists coming to the house to assist him again in using the arms and legs again, he had a right sided stroke in 2006 and this illness just about took him. Praise the Lord and a grateful thank you to all who prayed for his recovery, we do need each other.

From Elaine in GA – I’d like to ask a special prayer for my son's needs. We are edging back into a drought again. We need rain. We have begun to get some and we are grateful for that but we continue to ask that God will bless us again with it. Additionally, on a personal level, I'd like to ask for prayers for myself to be a stronger and more secure Christian and to allow God to do His work in my life without me being fearful of the future. We thank God for His blessings and we ask that all our children be blessed by the evidence of the love of our Father. Our prayers are being answered and I’m very grateful for everyone’s prayers.
