Prayer Thursday

Hi Ladies! 

Thank you all so much for your prayers this past week!  If we can pray for you, please leave your prayer request in the comments below, or feel free to email me - michelle.ann.ellis@gmail.com

Here are our prayer requests for this week -

Please pray for Laura.  Her Grandma is showing signs of kidney failure.  She has had a very rough time over the past 15 years, losing two husbands and her mother.  Please also pray for her husband Don, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year and is going through treatments.  Please pray for God to give her the strength and hope to fight through this, and that he hold her tight with love and comfort during this time.

Please pray for sweet baby Bennett.  He was born oh-so-tiny, and is having some trouble with his lungs right now.  You can read his little story here.


We have been praying for sweet Annika for a few weeks now.  Kasey asked that we pray especially hard for her this week. She is starting a very difficult treatment called the "red devil".  Nothing about that description sounds easy or good.  Please say a special prayer for her dear little body, that God will give her the strength to fight this disease.  Annika is 5 years old and was diagnosed with a rare form of acute lympocytic leukemia.  Please pray for her, her family and her doctors.  I can't imagine what her family is going through.  Isn't she beautiful?  Just look at that smile!


Please pray for baby Cohen's parents. You can read their story here.  He is in God's beautiful hands now. 



PRAISE!  We have been praying for April, Brad and their little twins for quite some time now.  They are home and safe!!!!  Thank you so much for your prayers! .  You can visit their page here to read about their story. 

Please pray for sweet Sarah.  She is praying and waiting for God to bless her with a true Godly man that could be a wonderful influence to her young son to share their lives with.  Her testimony is so beautiful, I felt inspired just reading it.

Please pray for my coworker Colin.  His son's daughter just found out that she has bone cancer.  She is having trouble eating, and the treatments are wearing on her.  Please pray for strength.

Please pray for my sweet friend Jackie.  She is pregnant with quadruplets!  She has survived three full weeks in the hospital!  She is carrying these babies like a champ!  She and the babies are doing very well!  Please pray for her and the babies.  You can read about her journey here.

Please pray for my Daddy's (Jerry) job search and that his good spirits continue.  He did not get the job offer that he has been interviewing for for months, and I know he is disappointed.  I just know God has the perfect plan for him.

Please pray for my Grandparents, Ed and Helen.  They are having some health troubles, and my grandmother seems like she is suffering from depression. 

Please pray for little Jed Harper.  You can read about his story here.  What a beautiful family turning their sweet son's health over to God.  They are truly inspiring.

I have been following Lianna's blog for a few months now, and she just seems like the sweetest girl in the whole world!  She and her husband are waiting for God to bless them with a child.  You can read about them here.  She just had her surgery yesterday, and is recovering.  Please pray for her comfort and recovery.
Could you please also pray for our friend's Dad?  He had surgery a couple of weeks ago and is having some memory problems.  Please pray for their family and his doctors, and that they can find out what is wrong.

Thank you so very much for all of your prayers!  Please let me know if we can pray for you!

This is so sweet and perfect that I stumbled on your blog today. My mom is actually in the hospital right now - they aren't sure what is wrong but she is dizzy and is having lots of vertigo. If you could pray for her that would be wonderful! I am hoping that it is nothing serious!
