Whirlwind of Prayer

And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
James 5:15

These last few days have been a whirlwind of need passed on through prayer requests for family and friends. This week
I have called upon you, my friends and prayer warriors, to lift up the concerns of our Christian brothers and sisters as they
have faced great physical pain, illness and medical procedures. Thank you so much for your faithfulness. I believe with all
my heart that your willingness to carry these requests to the cross, lifting them to our Heavenly Father made all the difference.
I know in my own situation this week it brought me peace in knowing that God was hearing from his children on our behalf.

What I have found as well, it that sharing those concerns, my own and those of my friends, blessed me in ways I could not
have imagined. Realizing that I have so many who are willing to take a few moments to petition God on behalf of another,
sometimes whom they themselves do not even know, truly bolstered my own faith. My faith in God, my faith in the church
and my faith in my friends! It just doesn't get much better!

Keep praying my friends! It does indeed make a difference even if the outcome is not exactly what we expected.

God thank you so much for the way you have touched my life and the lives of those around me this week. I have seen your
hand at work, healing and comforting in many ways. I feel so blessed to be your beloved child and immeasurably so in the
company of such faithful family.


May we all see , hear, feel and know that God is always there beside us! We see it in the faces of our family. Hear it in
the voices of those speaking blessing and petitioning in prayer. Feel it in the warmth of hugs from our friends who
support us. And Know, that all of these things are possible because of a loving, faithful God who cares for us.
