Prayer Requests for September 25, 2009

[Ruth Y. Nott]

From Carl McKeever: Please pray for my school, ITT Tech. They pushed my graduation back to December 2009 due to enrollment issues and all of my classes at DeVry University have been dropped. I have made my final decision: to obtain my Associate's degree and find a full-time job to help me get back up on my feet. Please pray that I will be able to complete this task.

From Kay - 1) Please pray for Marla. She has cancer on and above her lip and it will be a very involved procedure to remove it. Please pray she has the strength and that they can get all of it before it spreads. 2) Please pray for all our FC/DC friends as they are all fighting some kind of battle. 3) Please pray for Olga’s cousin. He has had surgery and had a relapse.

From Gary and Debbie: Please pray for our niece and her 8 month old son Jud. They were in a bad accident on I-95 in FL.. All prayers would be appreciated.

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. Praise that Alice has found a new, better paying job.

From Gloria in FL – I never found the papers I had lost, but I have managed to replace them. My daughter Mary still has not found a job. Please pray for her. Janice’s foot is getting better and she does not have a diabetic related infection. My friend Pete is currently incarcerated for something he didn’t do and is appealing. The stress has given him shingles. Please pray for Pete. Also, see my ad under Book Store and More.

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 and he gave me a shot of cortisone. Not much better today. I’m counting on it working! Thanks for your prayers.

From Mary in Melrose, FL – Thank you all for your prayers for the past few months. Tina is now completely off life support and is in Brooks Rehab in Jacksonville. She will be going home before much longer. Baby Gizelle weighs over 6 pounds and has gone home with her father and grandmother. All are waiting anxiously for Tina's arrival. Praise God for working a miracle in these two precious lives.

I still need 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, our Father, for answered prayer and for His gift of patience while we wait.

*New* From Marie and Jan - Please pray: Prayers are needed. Woodrow B is in intensive care at Carolinas Medical. He got sick a few days ago. I received a call and was told he has blood clots in his lungs and he has had a stroke. Gas is backing up in his blood which I assume is carbon dioxide. He has a breathing tube and they are keeping him sedated. He's asleep all the time. I know none of you know him but I'm here to tell all of you that he is a good man. He's 71 years young and never has anything bad to say about anyone. He is always smiling, even with his eyes. I want all of you to spread this e-mail as far as you can so many prayers for him will be heard by God and He will pull him out of this. I've known him for several years. I love this old man and want to see him back to being the Woodrow we all know. Debbie (Bart)
