Prayer Requests

It seems that things always come in threes... tonight is no different. I simply have 3 prayer requests for anyone willing to take a moment.... 

1. My mom lost a friend last night that has been in the hospital for a while. She was originally in he hospital  for an intestinal blockage and during a routine barium study she aspirated and became very ill. She had been in the ICU since then and last night she passed away. Please pray for her family as they go through this difficult season. 

2. My best friends sister who is in ICU and has been for a week now.  After a routine hysterectomy she contracted Strep A ( a flesh eating virus) She has been fighting the fight and has shown to be such a strong woman but still has a long way to recovery. Prayers for strength and encouragement would be amazing for her and her family!

3. Also please pray for baby Thomas. A daughter of a family friend had a baby about 3 weeks ago. Last week he was left with a sitter. The sitter put him to sleep on his belly and when she returned some time later to check on him he was blue and unresponsive. He was able to be revived but continues to be unable to breath on his own. Doctors know that he suffered some irreversible effects from lack of oxygen.  Please pray for strength for him and for his healing. Also pray for his family. I can only imagine  with a 3 week old myself how incredibly difficult this is for them. 

"Bring the Rain"

I can count a million times

People asking me how I

Can praise You with all that I've gone through

The question just amazes me

Can circumstances possibly

Change who I forever am in You

Maybe since my life was changed

Long before these rainy days

It's never really ever crossed my mind

To turn my back on you, oh Lord

My only shelter from the storm

But instead I draw closer through these times

So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace

Bring the chance to be free

Bring me anything that brings You glory

And I know there'll be days

When this life brings me pain

But if that's what it takes to praise You

Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of

The dark clouds that may loom above

Because You are much greater than my pain

You who made a way for me

By suffering Your destiny

So tell me what's a little rain

So I pray

Holy, holy, holy

Is the Lord God Almighty
