  2. One of my relatives is on Coumadin because of a serious blood condition. She’s young and has preschoolers. Yesterday she banged her eye on the corner of the nightstand rolling out of bed for a child.

    Doctor didn’t see anything, but she feels a lot of pressure behind the eye and has a headache. She’s worried about possible bleeding and of course has a million other things to do.

    Please pray she’s okay, give her peace and take away that headache.

    Thanks.

  3. Praying, Michelle.

    Please pray for God to go before Sister and I as we meet with our family thurs-Sun. We are really not sure what, if anything will be resolved, but some things are becoming more clear on a daily basis, and everyone has their own agenda. There is some both ends against the middle going on and the 4 under the same roof all think we are going there to take someone’s side on some issues. For our part, we are trying to be Switzerland, and all of them think we are takiung their side.

    All of their manipulations are coming to light. We need discernment and wisdom.

  4. Agree with you in prayer for the families in turmoil, Michelle, and all the others praying here.

    Thank you for praying for my son. He has heard from one PhD program and will get to visit the campus. Please pray he will make a good impression while on his visit.

    I have had a rough week with someone at church being angry with me unexpectedly Wed. evening—this has never happened before at this church so it feels uncomfortable for tomorrow. Also someone at work had issues with the way I handled something on Valentine’s Day, and I got blasted there. My husband stood up for me in a big way so that was a sweet valentine from him. Anyway, I am not there today and hope my husband is not too swamped without my help. Please pray for peace on both fronts, at church and at work. Thank you.

  6. Thank you. Just stopped to drop off finger sandwiches and my friends all gathered around to ask about my daughter’s concussion.

    Such a family church. They’re there to bury their dear friend’s grandchild and they stopped to ask about my child.

    Got to love the body of Christ.

  8. Yes, indeed, Michelle. I received hugs & comfort this morning in church when my tears would not be constrained.

    Started the service off with a heavy heart & those unconstrained tears. (Chrissy has decided not to come to church with us. We could see that this was coming, but still hoped it wouldn’t.)

    While the music & singing went on, a lady, Natalie, took me aside to the foyer. We talked over some things, including the thought that Chrissy’s not wanting to come to church could be due to the social anxiety inherent in Asperger’s Syndrome rather than losing her faith. My fear, of course, is that she is losing faith.

    One of the points in this morning’s sermon was to not let our fears get in the way of trusting & obeying God, or trying to “go ahead” of Him (as Sarah did in giving Hagar to Abraham). The other points also seemed to echo the things Natalie & I had discussed.

    At the end of the service, Lee & I went forward for prayer. The man who prayed for us started out by saying he didn’t know exactly what we needed prayer for, but then went on to pray for exactly what was on our hearts.

    Started service with a heavy heart & in tears; ended with a peace in my heart & a smile on my face, praising our faithful Father God with much gratitude.

  9. Prayers for my former pastor and his wife. This week they had a house fire while they were not home. The investigators think it was electrical. Fortunately the neighbors called 911. It originated in Pastor’s study and his whole life’s work, library and all of that was lost. He is retired, so there was a lot. Most of the rest of the house was saved, but they will be displaced for about 3 months.

  12. Many of you have been praying for my husband and our family with his job turmoil, and I thank you. Please do continue.

    I have a few long-term prayer requests for myself. I have been thin most of my life, but have lost some weight in recent weeks, and it is worrisome to my husband, and now to me, too (I generally haven’t worried too much about my weight over the years, until now). I have some theories why I’m losing weight (stress being one likely factor), but would appreciate prayers for wisdom in getting my health built back up through good nutrition and an exercise program that would help me build up my muscle mass and endurance and help me to gain weight healthfully.

    I want to assure all of you that I am not anorexic or bulimic, if any of you are worried about that. I just could do a lot better paying more attention to eating well and exercising regularly (but without burning too many calories) so that I don’t fade away.

    I also desire to be a more nurturing mom, and I think that will come more easily when I’m adequately meeting my physical needs. It will also bring a lot more peace of mind to my husband, who has enough worries of his own without having to worry about his wife’s health, too.

    Thank you ever so much, friends.

  13. Prayers, 6 arrows.

    Our bodies are all different. The stress I’ve been under has caused me to gain weight in the past couple months. 😦 So there you go.

    Take care of yourself, we’ll be praying. Pray for me, too, that I can return to a healthier diet and can learn better to not be anxious for anything, as Jesus says.
