Prayer Request December 2005
December is the month that we celebrate the birth of God's only begotten Son into this world, to be sacrificed for our sins. May we always be mindful and grateful for this glorious sacrifice and never cease to follow in the footsteps of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Father, hear our prayers and answer them according to Your Will. Praise to You, for all the prayers You have already answered. You are a gracious and merciful God.
1 John 4:9
In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

Please pray for all those who are lonely and homeless and have no one to share this great Gift with.
God's Grace.
Please pray for my Pastor these next few days. He is down in Pensacola preaching at the Christian college where I graduated from. He is trying to burden the students with the need for simplicity and clarity when communicating the Gospel to the lost.
Please pray for a brother named by Curious Servant as a who is undergoing a special cancer treatment. His need for the next 48 to 72 hours is critical. CS has this request and the details posted on his site.
Thank you!
Please keep praying for the right publisher to pick up my Young Adult book and for my husband to find a Family Pastor position. Thank you!
Curious Servant has posted this update. Please continue with us in prayer. May God bless you all.
"Latest email:
Bob Cryder update: I don't know how else to say this, but just received word that Bob Cryder is slipping away. Tim and Heather, family and close friends are with Bob, Jenny and family. Please pray for all of them. Jenny shared that they have made him comfortable. We need to remember that the Lord is in control, even when we don't understand."
Update from Curious Servant:
"Update, Noon Sunday:
The doctors say that while the cancer is gone, Bob's body can not fight the infection he has in his lungs and brain. The only thing that can save him is a miracle.
While he was in stable condition this morning, there is hope only in God."
Kristi, one of our dear partners here was involved in an accident on Saturday. She's at home recovering and we ask you please remember her. She's posted the details of the incident on her site.
please pray for me and hubby. i don't know what to do anymore. we want to be together this christmas but his papers haven't come out yet. i have an option to apply for a visa the way i see it, it's too late for me to leave for december. i am so frustrated because i want to be with my husband so bad. it's the reason why i put up my christmas tree. because i believe he's coming home. now, everything seem so blurred. please help me. i'm so confused and depressed. my husband is so lonely too. i know that God has a good plan for us. but at this point in time, i'm tired of waiting. i want to experience His plans and not just hope for it to come. though i know it will. please pray for us.
Father, please hear our prayers. Give strength where needed, fill hearts with encouragement and hope and work Your mysterious ways, according to your Will.
Thank You for always being there for us.
God's Grace.
CS has posted that his friend has gone home as if yesterday as 1:00 P.M. Please continue to remember all who are suffering in this loss.
Enjoy reading your blog...i found you through "An Ordinary Christian". Very nice to meet you.
This is my first time to visit this site, I have definately been blessed!!!
please pray for Bob's family (refer to CS's blog).
Father God, we commit all those who are lonely and homeless in the world into your hands. May your people show love and generosity to them. I pray that they will find the real meaning of this festive season, and that they can also share this great Gift of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, during this Christmas. Amen!
Thank you SO much! I am moved by what I read here. And I want you to know that Bob's family are reading the comments and prayers left on my blog and are saying that it is a blessing to them as well.
I am grateful to offer them this solace. Thank you for all you have done here.
Lord, I want to hear Your voice better, to have a more firm and stead-fast walk, to see with eternity's perspective - that eternal weight of gold far beyong all comparison. Work out what You would have for our family this Christmas and for next year. What are Your plans for this adoption? Wasn't this all Your idea? Also, be with two doctors at my hospital who have lost patient's recently - that they would turn to You,God during this hard time and that You would see them through, and protect them. Thank you!
Lord, I commit 'an ordinary christian' and her family to your mighty hands right now. Help her to draw close to You, stand firm in You, and understand Your will and guidance. Help her with the adoption process, and give her the patience and peace that she needs for it. May Your will be done in this family. In Jesus' Precious Name we pray, Amen!
Father, i lift up to you everyone here who is in need. may we all find comfort and peace in the midst of the tribulation we are in. Father, i trust in you and i believe in your mighty powers and your faithfulness. Lord, i also lift up to you my husband who is just as lonely as i am now. please make a way for us to be together on january 2006. i pray for your favor to be upon us. thank you for hearing our prayers. i ask all these in Jesus' name, amen.
Thank You Father for all these wonderful friends who, in spite of their own trials, encourage and comfort eachother through support and prayer. May You give them strength and guide them safely through their tribulations and bless each one in abundance.
My prayers are with y'all.
AMEN! And thank you so much for your prayers!
of course you may link to me! and my email is nan_marano@yahoo.com
HiHi! this is a very beautiful and meaningful blog =D may i link you? thanks :) Jesus loves you very much =)
Thanks for linking me Corry & Kc. It's really my joy to join you all in prayers.
audrey, i like your 'marvellous' blog.
Father, thank you for these people who take time to pray for each other. You said in your word, "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." thank you, Father, for this promise. i know that you hear us and you know our hearts. i lift up to you everyone here and the others too who are in need. may we all experience your peace and your joy as we walk this life. Father, i believe that you are the same yesterday, today and forever. you came through for me before, i know you can do it again and for the others too who desperately needs you now. guide us, Father, in everything we do. all these things i pray, in Jesus' name, amen.
Praise to You Lord! Thank you for answering this prayer. My gratitude is great and I am humbled by Your grace and mercy.
Thanks for asking about being involved. I would really love to. How do I become a prayer partner? I'll go to the email list. Maybe I add my name there. What a previledge!
Father thank you so much for your love and care. I'm so grateful to you for this blessing on my dear sister and especially knowing how you've cared for her and her family through their adversity. Please bless those who are in the same circumstance that they've been in. Please give me the wisdom to know how to truly help others in need. In Jesus precious name I pray.
I've received a request I can't publish but I ask you to please remember this request, that God would bless each one involved.
I found out today that my mentor (who's 91 years old already) had
had a fall last Friday in his room, and twisted his back. Thankfully no dones were broken. But the back is rather painful. Please pray for him.
sorry my previous post should have said 'no BONES were broken'. And by the way, his name is Basil Brown.
I'm so sorry, but the emails have become a problem for me at work. I have a tracker that comes up everytime a new personal email comes in and it's been coming up all day. I'll continue to check back on this blog and pray with and for you all, but I think email may not be the best medium for me right now. I'm sorry! God bless!
We received a request in the mail to pray for someone who had cancer and we would like to ask you to pray for him. Thank you so much.
Father, hear our prayers. There are so many in need. You know all about it. We lift them up to You. May our prayers be answered, according to Your Will. In Jesus' precious name I ask. Amen.
Please pray for our prayer partner Kristi. From her blog:
"I have to get an EEG done on my head and see a neurologist because I'm having concentration and memory problems, so pray no long-term damage was done, please!!!"
Kristi also has a sister who is on the mission field. Please continue to remember her. We are also in contact with a couple who will soon be leaving to do mission work. I've asked permission to post their reports here so that we can support them in prayer. The response: "I would count it an honor to be prayed for by those who are praying at needprayer.com"
They are currently in the visa process and need our prayers.
"We got a call from the Consulate today!!! We have been approved in reference to our visas. Pretty amazing how God worked it. This whole week we've been doing some hands on safety training, which means we have not been able to take our cell phone nor computer with us to training. Our cell phone is the only way the Consulate can contact us. Just yesterday we finally had time to get more minutes. Today was the first day we carried our phone with us (and actually had it on). We got out early from our sessions today because most of us still had one more round of shots. As soon as we got back to our quad, our phone started ringing. The Consulate told us that we had been approved. That is the good news. However, they also requested that we come back and pick it up. We had asked them to UPS it to us and provided postage and an envelope. We need our visas in hand before Wednesday in order to be ticketed for our Dec 30 flight. But we can not go except maybe on Tuesday. If we can, we would like to get this flight out so we will not be late for language school. Thanks for your prayers. We will keep you updated.
Blessings,
B and R"
"My Lord Jesus, deliver Matt from the abuse of the enemy, from the enemy's camp, from the perspective that the enemy wants him to have about himeslf, about the world, about people. Deliver him and heal him and build him up to stand upon Your shoulders, to see all the things that You might show him. To go where You say, to love with Your heart, to do what You do, so that all may know, on earth, above the earth and below the earth that it is the Lord Jesus who reigns and delievers, Who is and was and always will be, Who does what He wants upon the earth, Who hears the hearts of men and women and babes. By Your strips we are healed and are renewed. All that we see isn't the way that it is." There is only 1% that we see. Will you pray for Matt also, no matter where he ends up living, whether with us or not.
Dear Father God, may Your loving hands embrace Basil, Kristi, Kristi's sister, Matt and all those who are in need. May your will be done in their lives. In Jesus' Name, Amen!
Father, thank you for your goodness, for your love and for your continued provision. we trust in You, Father. i pray for healing for everyone here who is sick or in pain. i believe that it is your will to heal your children. we come to you, Father, to receive your healing. thank you for your financial provision, for providing us a job, a visa and everything that we need. I also pray for wisdom for everyone here who needs to make major decisions. help us to make the right choice, Father. I also ask for strength. Give us your grace to trust you completely. All these I pray in Jesus' name, amen.
A lot of things have been happening this morning about Matt, the boy that we desire to adopt and the social worker's in Kentucky. Our family might fly out there this week. Please pray that God would guide, direct and release His will, power and plan perfectly at this very hour, day and week.
Please pray for my friend and her husband. They just lost their first baby.
thank you so much for sharing Paula.
it's a very painful moment and experience. your friend and her husband are in my thoughts and prayers.
please take care.
Update from B and R:
"Further along
Thanks for all your prayers for us the past few days. We received another phone call today from the Consulate. They said they would mail us our visas. It is doubtful it will arrive before Wednesday, but that's OK. We may still be able to leave on Jan 1. But praise God we do not have to go back to [the consulate]!
B&R"
We have been praying for my friend Lance to get a job. Praise the Lord, he was called yesterday with a great job opportunity. Just continue to pray that he makes it through the remaining interviews without any setbacks.
Also, I go to see the neurologist and have an EEG done on Thursday morning. I appreciate your continued prayers for that as well!
Prayer changes things!
Kristi
Father, I commit Andrea, her family, Matt and the social worker in Kentucky into your powerful and mighty hands once again.
Lord, I pray that You would guide, direct and release Your will, power and plan perfectly to Andrea and her family, and give them patience, peace, joy and wisdom that they need right now.
Bless them Father. May Your perfect will be done in this family. In Jesus' Precious Name we pray, Amen!

"Celebrating victory
I wanted to write you in praise of our God Almighty. We received our visas yesterday and were ticketed. That means we will leave on Dec 30. God is never late or early. He is always right on time. This just shows one more time that God hears the prayers of His people. Hallelujah!
B&R"
Lord, we just want to tell you that we love you, and thank you for all that you have done, all that you are doing, and all that you'll do in all of our lives. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen!
Jesus is our best healer.
in God we trust.

Dear Father, we pray for Jayne's co-worker and her husband. May your healing hands be with him and watch over them.
Pray also for the 90 youths from Audrey's church. Bless their outing by the seaside, that they can draw close to you in the nature.
Amen!
Please remember our eldest daughter who will be traveling from Friday until Sunday.
Please keep me in your prayers. I go in for an MRI in one hour, and my EEG has been moved to Wednesday. I'm really nervous about all this testing!
Also, PRAISE THE LORD! My friend Lance did get that job, and he thanks you all for your prayers!

I am so thankful for you all.
Father, thank you for your continued blessings and guidance to all of us here. thank you for hearing our prayers. i ask for your favor to be upon us all. in Jesus' name, amen.
Amen to pia's prayer above.
Father, as we celebrate Christmas, May Your peace with us and Your presence in us become increasingly precious to us all! Help us not to be caught up with the busyness and consumerism of the festive season, but rather take and make time for silence, reflection, and rejoicing in our Savior's birth.
Dear God, I know of so many people who are going through hard times just now--some are life and death situations, others are grieving, anxious, sad or alone. May Your love and mercy be upon these people.
In Jesus' precious name we pray, amen!
My heart is so full. Please remember Nan and Michael as they prepare to share their lives together and become one flesh.

the youth carolers from my church will be having evangelistic outreach programmes on 21, 23 and 24 Dec. please remember them in prayers. thank you.
abundant blessings to all of you :)
Father, i have been discouraged so many times already. i felt so down because of all these. last night i felt my world crumbled when i was told to my face that i would surely be denied a visa, that it would take a miracle for me to get one. Lord, please help me. guide me. i pray for your favor to be upon me. you told me last night when i was earnestly seeking you that i should face my giant. those words were so clear and you also said, "have faith". i will face my giant as you say Lord and i have faith in you. i know that you are so willing to give a miracle to us, your children. i commit to you this day, january 12, in Jesus' name, amen.
dear blogger friends, this may not be a life and death thing as other people are facing now. but this means a whole lot to me and my hubby. this will affect our future. as the day comes nearer and nearer, i ask you, my dear blogger friends, to remember us in your prayers. my appointment date is on january 12. thank you for your support and your prayers. may God bless you all exceedingly.
in Jesus we trust, Pia :)
ask, believe, receive.
you and your hubby will be in my prayers and thoughts.
Pia, God loves you very much and He only wants the best for you dear.
Father God, I commit Pia to you. Please give her the miracle. May you give her what she needs on January 12, and give her your peace and joy in her heart. In Jesus' name, amen.
Hi friends, please pray for my dear friend Candice. She was admitted into hospital yesterday because of severe constipation.
Amen to Kitty's prayer for Pia!
We need to commit Candice to our Lord's loving care too.
Thank you my Father, for 21 straight days of no RLS. What a wonderful blessing this is. I praise you and give you all the glory and honor.
Thank you for the beauty of the earth this time of year. The trees were frosted this morning and Oh, so beautiful All creation points to you and praised you.
In Jesus, Amen
Hi joyce, nice to 'see' you here =) what's RLS by the way?
Merry Christmas to you.
Restless Legs Syndrome. Mine is quite severe. It has robbed me of sleep, the ability to sit and watch tv or movies or theatre, ride in cars for any length of time (airline flights are horrid), and most of all I realize now that it had robbed me of my sunny attitude--which has now returned!!!
Thanks for asking Kitty.
Merry Christmas to you, too. And God's richest blessings.
Joyce, thanks for letting me know. Let me pray for you sis.
Dear Father, thank you for Joyce's faith and trust in You. I pray that you'll continue to watch over her and heal her totally from her RLS.
Lord, praise you that Joyce's sunny attitude has now returned. Please help her to give thanks to you always, continue to count her blessings and be content in every situation. May your abundant blessings, joy and peace be with her during this Christmas season, and indeed every single day. In Jesus' name, amen.
Please pray for my artist friends Bev and Diana. I'm getting to know them and witnessing to them. Pray that God will give me the wisdom to share the gospel to them.
Father, thank you so much for all these faithful souls here at blogsville. may your peace and joy be with us all this christmas season.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS we love you and praise your name!
merry christmas to all!
dear Heavenly Father, we pray that we'll glorify you in whatever we do, sing, eat and drink during this Christmas weekend. we pray for journey mercy too for those who need to travel. we pray for Your love to be felt by everyone during this joyous occasion.
in Jesus' name we pray. Amen!
Blessed Christmas Everyone!
I would like to ask prayer for this situation that I read here:
I do need prayer for two very sad situations. First is my nephew, who has RSV at six months of age and is just so very sick that no one really knows for sure what will happen. The second is for two teenage girls whose mom recently perished in a car accident. They are estranged from their father, and it looks like my friend is going to be adding them to her already full house. They have six children there already, so this will bring the grand total up to eight, with five being between 12-14 years old. So the prayers here need to be many. For my friend who lost her best friend, for the daughters who lost their mom, and for the situation itself. My friends are open to adopting these girls into their family, and trust that if it's what God has for them He will handle the details. But no one in the wake of all this grief and pain anticipates this being an easy transition for anyone. I will keep ya all updated, and if you believe in prayer or have prayer chain I'd appreciate the thought.
all these events need the guidance and comfort from our Lord.
look up, lift up and in God we trust. God is in control. Jesus cares for all His children.
yours prayerfully.
Praise the Lord! I had the privilege of witnessing my dear friend Rachel give her heart to the Lord on Christmas Day. Please pray for her spiritual growth.
Dear friends,
We just got news that Pia's Mother was rushed to the hospital last night due to a heart attack. We don't have any other details at present. Would you please ask God's blessing on Pia's Mother, Pia and her family.
Dear Father, please watch over Pia's mother, Pia and her family. May your healing hands be with Pia's mother. In Jesus Name, amen.
We would like to share this update on Pia's mother with you:
"Here's an email I got from my sis 10 minutes ago about my mom:
Blood pressure is still up, they have given her series of nicardipine drips to stabilize her BP. Blood sugar fell from 500+ to 88, so you can just imagine the big drop and the effect it has again on her body. Our priority now is to stabilize her BP so her heart won't exert more effort in pumping blood."
Father, we ask Your blessings on all of them. Strengthen them as they go through this trial, heal Pia's mother and ease the burdens that way so heavily on Pia and her loved one. In Jesus' precious name we pray, Amen.
We just spoke with Pia and she's so very upset. Her mother continues to have problems and now it seems her kidneys are not functioning well. Pia is so afraid and feels so alone. I know you're all in prayer. Please continue.
Pia's Mother is stable and they're waiting for test results. Pia sounded very hopeful. We're so thankful.
thank you so much for this very encouraging news. God is very good all the time. it's very comforting to have Jesus as our best friend who carries our burdens for us.
our Lord is the best healer!
we'll continue to pray for Pia's Mummy :)
Crystal the social worker who seems to be in charge of determining the family that Matt will be adopted into, wants to meet with me when I will be in Louisville this Monday. Pray that all the details for getting to the meeting itself goes well and uneventfully, and that the meeting with her is God-blessed. Pray God's will regarding the adoption of this precious boy into our fold.
From B & R:
We hope you had a very Merry Christmas this year. May you have a blessed New Year. If all goes as planned and by God's grace we will be spending New Years in (abroad). We leave on Dec 30 and will arrive on Dec 31 local time. We leave around 2PM (CST)on Friday and arrive approximately 4AM (CST) or 1130AM local time.
We have been blessed with your prayers. The interviews are over. The cermenious affirmations are over. The training is over. The work now begins. Remember you are a vital part of our team. "The angel fetched Peter out of prison, but it was prayer that fetched the angel." -Thomas Watson in Fetching the Angel quoted in Jan Karon's A Continual Feast.
Please pray for us that we will have safety in flight. There has been a winter storm going on in (abroad). Pray that we adjust as quickly as possible and that we learn (the language) quickly also. Pray for comfort for our families as we leave. And most importantly pray that God will prepare the hearts of the () people we will meet and that we will be able to speak to their need.
We do not know how long it will be before we are able to communicate by phone or email. We will let everyone know as soon as we can.
With all blessings,
B&R
Pia's Mummy is going home tomorrow.
Praise the Lord!
Dear Father God, we commit Andrea's meeting with Crystal the social worker on Monday into your powerful Hands. May You bless the meeting, and may Your will be done in the process.
Lord, we praise you and thank you also for watching over Pia's mom. Please continue to heal her fully.
Please bless B & R as well.
Prayerfully, Amen!
Please pray for a safe journey for B&R. As of this note they are held over at an airport terminal due to weather.
Please, remember Kc in your prayers. His back went out and it hurts and hinders him very much. May God's swift healing be upon him.
Dear Lord
Thank you so much for this new year. Thank you so much for all Your great blessings last year.
We pray for Your love, grace, mercy, joy and peace to be with us and our loved ones in this new year. Teach us to obey You and have a more intimate walk with You in 2006.
Heavenly Fateher, we pray that Your Healing Hands will be upon KC's back now. Please remove all the pain and discomfort. May KC be able to walk, sit, work and sleep comfortably. Fill him with Your peace and joy. Heal KC totally.
In Jesus' most precious name we pray. Amen!
We are so grateful to be joined with each of you so often in prayer and E-fellowship. You've all been such a blessing to us this year and we look forward to sharing your joy and your burdens in the coming year. May God bless each of you according to His perfect will.
We love you,
Casey and Corry
