Multiple Prayers for Multiple People

My heart is heavy. I feel burdened for those families in my life that are struggling, waiting and battling for various reasons. I know that all of these families would appreciate all the prayers they can get for their circumstances. Please join me in lifting them up

1. Hames family - There is still no word of David's rescue. We are still praying and believing God can do miracles. Our pastor, Kelly Williams, keeps reminding us that no matter where David is, he is alive, whether it is on this earth or in heaven. We know that God loves David more than we can imagine. We have to trust in that.

2. Dickson Family - Jeremiah and Liz's 2 1/2 year old daughter Eleanor was diagnosed with cancer and today is her second day of chemo. We are praying that the chemo will do its job and give Eleanor no side effects. We are also praying that Eleanor stays healthy. Any sickness can put her in the hospital.

3. Melanie and Jeremy - This couple is in the process of adopting from the same place that Isaiah and Laila are from. Melanie has now been in Africa for 2 1/2 months. She is ready for her family of 6 children to be all together at last in their home. Please pray that this will be the week for her to finalize the adoption and all of the paperwork after that.

4. Cole Friedan - This little guy is also battling cancer. We know his mom from our church in Dallas. We are praying that God will use the treatments that the dr. is doing to kill all the cancer.

5. Adoptive/Foster families - We have many families right now that we are in relationship with that are in the process of fostering and adopting. If you haven't experienced it, you just don't know how hard it is. Please pray for the Goads, Clines, Briggs, Vetters, Kodaks, Hays, and Racelas. Waiting for our children was one of the most excruciating things I have ever done. It is a long, painful, emotional process.

6. Haiti - There is really no more that needs to be said. I am burdened for this country and its people, especially the orphans.

No wonder I feel so heavy. This heaviness leads me to God and reminds me that only He can do something about each of these circumstances.
