Prayer Request and Updates


A dear friend needs prayers big time for a family member who is now in ICU in another state. They are all very worried over this one. Prayers so much appreciated...

Meanwhile, my brother's prostate cancer radiation treatments should end Monday. It would have ended today but they lost a day due to the Memorial Day holiday. On top of their not needing to make that daily trip (15 mi on dirt road, then 25 mi to town) back and forth each day in their old truck, he can stop 2 Rx's that were highly costly for them.

Another friend's chemo is continuing, and as chemo often does, the 2nd massive treatment hit her harder than the first. Mine, back in 1999, was only for 3 hr sessions; hers are 8 hr sessions. Praying for her all along the way.

Another friend's dad had a stroke not long ago and is still in rehab. The trach is finally gone and I hope and pray that this step will encourage and help him fight to regain some of his former self.

And one of our "invisible" charity crafters just broke her leg two weeks ago, on top of a never-fully-knit arm break about two years ago. This time, she just fell out of bed.

So, I'm praying very hard for my friend's family member, uncle, if I remember right, and everything to work out well, that they find the right diagnosis and right treatment, quickly, and for my other friends as well.

Sweet Lord Jesus, we all know your healing powers. Please look gently and compassionately on everyone involved in these matters. Strengthen them when they doubt, give them patience and wisdom, and support them with the best medical teams in each case. And please bless those who take a moment to pray for people they do not even know. We trust in you!
