Prayer Request November 2006
Each day God gives so many blessings, lovingly and freely. and when we look for them, we realize how much we have to be thankful for. Counting our blessings, great and/or small, turns every day into Thanksgiving-Day.
Psalm 26:7
That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.

Please be in special prayer for Andy Barrick and his entire family who was hit by a drunk driver while driving home from church Sunday evening in Bedford County, VA.
Last night Andy, his wife, Linda and two children, Jen, 15, and Josh, 11, were involved in a head-on collision with a DUI driver who was attempting to escape police and speeding at an estimated 70 m.p.h.
The entire family was airlifted to three hospitals in Charlottesville, Lynchburg and Roanoke for multiple injuries. Please be in particular prayer for 15-year-old Jen, who is at the University of Virginia medical center with severe head trauma.
Andy is married to the former Linda Hindson, daughter of Liberty professor Edward Hindson. The family had just come from the Thomas Road Baptist Church Sunday evening service, where Dr. Hindson had given the message and where Jen had sung as a member of the Liberty Christian Academy choir.
This hits home, because Dr. Hindson is a personal friend, and it grieves me that he or any of his loved ones are suffering grief or pain. Please be in prayer for their family during this difficult time. Dr. Hindson is a professor at Liberty, and a champion of the faith. You might have heard of Dr. Hindson, who is a respected theologian and Bible teacher, as he is general editor of the popular Knowing Jesus Study Bible. He provided counsel and edified me on an historical tour of Europe. He is such a generous soul, on his own initiative, he insisted on giving me $20 to compensate me for a loss when the tour director short-changed me. He was also a friend of my uncle who also attended Liberty two decades earlier.
FYI I have a receptive hear to your requests, even if I am not producing online prayers as often.
Nan, I hope your sister is doing well. I know how difficult 1L year in law school can be.
Kitty, I wish you well in your work for WorldTeam, which seems like a very good organisation. That is the sponsor of the Johnson family I mentioned earlier.
Thank you Ryan for your encouragement. Yes World Team is a very good mission organisation. I am very blessed to be working with them. How is Johnson's family going now?
Let's pray for Andy and his family right now:
Dear Heavenly Father, I commit Andy, Linda, Jen and Josh into Your Powerful and Almighty Hands.
They were involved in a head-on collision and airlifted to hospitals in Charlottesville, Lynchburg and Roanoke for multiple injuries. Lord, may Your healing touch be with them all, especially
Jen, who has severe head trauma.
Please comfort the family in this time of grief and difficulty. In Jesus Precious name we pray, amen!
Please pray for me! For strenght to sacrifice my pride and turn away from sin and for God to fill my heart with love and care.
Please also pray for my loved ones who suffer from all this.

Amen Kitty.
May we all leave our pride at the foot of the Cross, and fight the good fight of faith in His strength, and not lean on our own finite resources least we falter. Give us the persevering grace to grow and the grace to sustain us amidst life's troubles. Teach us to trust in your providential provision. In Jesus' name, Amen!
Amen Ryan.
Oh Lord!
We love Corry very much.
She is a very dear beloved sister who has a very big heart.
Corry is very caring, warm, loving, kind and understanding.
We're so blessed to know her.
Thank you for bringing Corry into our lives, Lord.
May she continue to feel your great love for her.
In Jesus' name, Amen!
Lord, I continue to entrust to you my daughter in her pregnancy. Help the twins as they develop to be healthy and strong, and to be born at the right time. Guide the doctors involved in their care. I especially pray for the appointment on Friday with the specialist; that everything would be normal with both girls, and that their weight discrepancy is not a sign of any problems. You are our loving, merciful, and sovereign Lord; and we trust in You, come what may. May You be glorified in this, and in all our lives.
Father, i pray for these twins. babies have special part in my heart. i ask you, Lord, that there will be no problems in their mom's pregnancy and that they will be born healthy. keep them in your care. i even pray for the doctors handling them. i pray for wisdom, dear God. i pray that the checkup on friday will be ok. Father, take care of them. i trust that you will. In Jesus' name, amen.
Thank you all for your prayer support. I'm praising God for Karina's good report at the specialist today. The twins are growing normally, there are no apparent problems or diseases. The weight discrepancy is less with these more sophisticated tests. Our Lord is merciful and worthy of all praise. Glorify Him together with us!
URGENT PRAYER REQUEST
My sister Michelle, her husband Shawn and my family desperately need your prayers for Baby Abby. Michelle called me earlier to let me know that Abby has developed some sort of blood infection and is in the hospital. They are considering transporting her to a different ICU where they have a better unit but I'm not sure if she is stable enough. Apparently, Abby's skin began turning blue after she wasn't feeling good and my sister brought her to the ER right away. My family is in shambles and Michelle and my other sister Christine are beside themselves... as is everyone else. I am unable to get to NY to be with them - though I'm seriously thinking of ways to - and I beg you guys to please take some time and pray for Abigail Rose and my family right now... It's very uncertain what is going on but I know God is in control.
In response to this petition for prayer, I lift up her family's burdens to our merciful Lord and Savior.
Most gracious Heavenly Father, hallowed be thy name, I lift up the burdens of Nan's family and little Abby especially. Lord, I pray that you would comfort Abby, and lay your healing hand upon her little soul. Great are your tender mercies Lord. I pray that you would appoint an angel to watch over her and safeguard her. I ask that you give her and her family longevity, good health, and lift them all up in paths of righeousness for your namesake. May you watch over and protect Abby, and place your supernatural hedge of protection around her, merciful savior.
In Jesus' most precious and holy name,
AMEN!
Special Prayer

Father, i lift up to you these children. please, God, heal them. help them recover from these ailments. dear God, i know you're a God of miracles and our physician. make them well, Father. comfort their families as well. we give you all the glory, in Jesus' name, amen.
This is from my blog today. Hope it isn't a burden in its length.
Have you ever read that psalm that says that? "How Long, Oh Lord, How Long?" It is from Psalm 6. I turned to it this morning.
When I read it this morning, it comforted me as it reminded me of a previous difficult trial. My husband did not know the Lord, and for many years I was really desperate that he should know and follow God and I used to cry out to the Lord and read and cry over this psalm.
I needed my husband to know the Lord, because I wanted to trust him that he would take cake of me properly. I wanted to trust him to be my provider. I figured that if he knew God and served Him, then I could trust him to take care of me.
Oh, how I do want to be taken care of in a dependable and reliable fashion! But only God is dependable and faithful. I need to trust in His unfailing love. Only God is perfect. It is idolatry to look to a human to meet all of my core needs. Only God can do that.
When David was being chased and pursued by enemies for no fault of his own (First Samuel), he strengthened himself in the Lord.
There is reality and there is life that we think is real. The reality is that God is for me and He is transforming me into the image of His Son. The reality is that every single thing in my life is going to turn out together to be for my good and will be used by a sovereign God to help me. The reality is that the more I am separated from the things of this world, the more I am sanctified, the less I am affected by circumstances, the less likely I am to be tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine and the craftiness of men. The reality is that God is for me, so who can be against me? The reality is that this battle is not mine but is the Lord's. The reality is that it is a privilege to suffer for Him, and to this I was called. The reality is that it is right that I should suffer for such a kingdom, to find myself worthy of it (II Thessalonians). The reality is that His grace and will are sufficient for me and that power is perfected in my weakness. The truth is that when I am weak and flat on my back, Christ Himself can live in me and do more through me that when I get in the way. The reality is that this world is going to hell in a hand basket and the more I am separated from this world, the less pain that I will have later, when I have to lose the things anyway. The reality is that at the judgment seat of Christ when our deeds are proved, there will be the suffering of loss for the wood, hay and stubble that burns in the fire, and the less that I have of wood, hay and stubble to burn, the better. The truth is that God is pleased with me when I endure. The truth is that God is proving me to prove my faith strong and right, not to disprove me. The reality is that I am being sanctified, made holy, being set apart for God's personal use. The reality is that I am in Christ, seated in Christ, far above all principalities and powers. The reality is that I am His child.
My problems abound today and the reminders of the problems hit me like small bits of cold and frozen ice pellets on my face as I walk through the burning cold Minnesota weather, the wind piercing and mocking me. (I don't live there anymore, but I remember!)
Would you pray for me, that God would bring this trial to a close and that my husband and I would be found faithful in it? That we would make God proud of us because we endured and graduated from this trial? Also, my brother-in-law's wife just walked out on him and he is devastated. Pray that he would turn to the Lord during this time and be born-again. Thanks, I feel like we could really use your prayers!
Hello all: your burdens are high and lifted up to our blessed Lord and Savior this evening.
