Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with. (James 5:16)
Here is the current list of people needing our Heavenly Father's help ... most remain anonymous but our GOD knows who they are: NB - I'm trying my best to get you regular prayer updates, so PLEASE keep up the good fight for them in prayer ...
My friend Tina - A message regarding her son John. Please can I ask you to stand with us praying for John in Sydney. He is having his knee operation anytime now. He will be staying in hospital overnight and a friend is taking him home. But from there he is on his own- with people popping in as he asks. Praying for God's miraculous provision with the op and all his post-op needs. It's awful to think of him not having anyone there to help look after him. Thank you so much. Xxx from Tina. ... Peace, and continued healing please ...
My friend Joy - (UPDATE 20/05/23) Joy has had her operation for concerned colon cancer and is now back home with her husband George. I spoke with him today and she is OK (ish) after a relatively poor night last night ... Peace, and continued healing please ...
My friend Viv - she's developed a really nasty arthritis/carpal tunnel syndrome which has flared up in both wrists at the same time, and as she's an artist this isn't amazingly helpful. Unfortunately, it's NHS protocol to wear splints for 6 weeks before even being referred to the hand specialist! It's all a bit painful and frustrating, so prayers for peace and patience would be good, and that God willing, her hands will be totally healed. Thank you xx
Young Lydia - Just been advised the following update (20/05/23) Lydia is now at her new hospital in Ealing. We thank God that she has settled in well and is making friends. There is lots to do, and all the staff seem lovely. Please pray that she responds well to the treatment which is difficult at times. Although visiting is restricted, we are allowed to book in for visits. She is allowed to receive post, so if anyone enjoys letter writing, it would be a lovely surprise for her to receive something from her church family. The address is 22 Corfton Road, Ealing, W5 2HT. NB - For those who want to know more about how she’s coping, and what to pray into, she’s actually pouring out her life thoughts on Instagram under the title: stoma_life_lydia
E - Just had a further EXCELLENT update on a very special young girl who has very recently lost her mum to cancer, has already overcome cancer already in her young life, and is now facing that battle again being diagnosed with terminal cancer! Her tumors have shrunk so that she can continue chemo to extend her life. She's still coming to school ad hoc. She is an absolute fighter but desperately needs every prayer possible. Peace, salvation and healing please ...
My friend Siegfried in Germany - he's asking for help. He's had to leave his wife and son back in England to help with his Mother Irmgard who at 80 has just lost her husband and is now suffering from Parkinsons. Lord, please help her to receive your Peace, Salvation and eternal Healing in your Presence ...
Shad - Just heard that Shad is still very challenged, still nil by mouth and bed bound. His blood pressure has been constantly up and down due to the MSA diagnosis, meaning that much of the time he has to be laid down with his legs raised. Talking is also difficult with excess saliva. His quality of life has not been good for so long. But with God, nothing is impossible... (UPDATE 20/05/23) he's still hanging on in there, and trying to stay cheerful even though he seems to get weaker by the day. He's been told he'll never be able to eat food normally and finds speaking difficult because his mouth fills up with saliva, and yet he still manages the occasional joke. He and his wife are amazing - still praying they'll come into a personal relationship with Jesus ... Peace, salvation and healing, please ...
Tonia - A close family member who is still bravely struggling with the effects of chemo for breast cancer and now also serious heart and lung issues. Recent update: "I’ve started yet another new treatment and I can only pray it will work. My lungs are clear now but I don’t know where I am with the cancer. Peace, salvation and healing please ...
C - Who's lost all hope and he can't see any future. Peace, salvation and healing please ...
V - a beautiful lady who's struggling with terrible alcoholism. She's been clean for a few weeks but needs support. Peace, salvation, and healing, please ...
Betty - she's suffering greatly with a tumour in her pelvis and as such isn't getting much sleep, which is leaving her terribly exhausted and contributing to her poor mental health. Peace, salvation and healing please ...
Chrissy - we met with Chrissy a short time ago. She's still very frail after undergoing treatment for cancer of the oesophagus, and now that her sister had gone back home she finds it difficult and needs some support, love and help. Peace, salvation and healing please ...
S - A close family member gave me the following update (25 Jan 2023) ... a huge THANK YOU to Everyone for their thoughts and prayers over the last few months. I’m so grateful they were heard and the cancer is gone…! Not sure you can put Breast Cancer is so 2022, but it’s very true! ❤️ Thank You Lord ...
W - a beautiful lady who's already struggling with the self-recrimination of an ugly divorce, type 1 Diabetes and now terrible alcoholism (and all its horrendous ramifications)! Peace, salvation and healing please ...
Rory - Treatment is going well for the thyroid cancer. Peace, salvation and continued healing please ...
Barbara - who is undergoing severe treatment for pancreatic cancer. Peace, salvation and healing please …
Mark - who's suffering the effects of long-term sexual abuse. Please pray that his relationship with Jesus strengthens and he can be healed of all past hurts ...
Damien - who at only 13 years old has had to have emergency surgery and a colostomy bag fitted due to having developed Crohn’s disease. A lot to deal with at such a young age. Peace, salvation and healing please ...
As well as quite a few others (and GOD knows who they are), who wish to remain anonymous but are really going through some yukky stuff right now ...
Brothers and Sisters, we know a LOVING GOD who answers prayer, and wants to work His Peace and Kindness THROUGH US - Love is as Love does - THANK YOU
