Prayer Requests

Hmmm. Sounds toxic. :) lol JK

Yeah, I've heard about the charcoal thing…It's also good for eye liner. ;)

Yeah, but I think Jordan might like a mustache instead.

Sorry Jordan! You're not around to defend yourself, are you?!

:D

????????????????????????????????????

I thought he didn't like facial hair?? :P

Dear Heavenly Father, on this 61st annual day of prayer, I ask you to have mercy on our country. Please do not give us the punishment we deserve. Please send revival through our land. Father, you tell us that if Your people, who are called by Your name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek Your face, and turn from their wicked ways, then You will hear from heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land. I pray that the people of this country would fall on their knees before you today and beg you for forgiveness. Jesus, I also pray that you would raise up my generation to be strong and mighty warriors for You in this country that is turning their back on You. God, please help us stand strong and never compromise in the years to come. Continue to make this country one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all! In Your Precious, Holy Name, Amen

That's exactly why I took it as the perfect moment to tease him about it. :D And apparently he was left speechless (but that's not surprising because I like to get him–anyone for that matter–in those moments).

Amen, Madi!
Our country weighs heavily on my heart. I see us going down, faster and faster, denying the law of God in our land, and sense that the Lord will be judging our nation very soon here. It's sad; it's painful; it's scary.

I could say so much more about where we are morally, economically, and principally, but I don't want to depress myself. :-/

You encourage me to remember to pray for our country more instead of leaving me to brood over our current state.

My thoughts exactly, Bethany!!! It so sad to see what our country has come to, and how it's basically left God out of the picture. We need a revival in this land!! We need the hearts of the fathers and mothers to turn towards their children (Luke 1:17) and that sinners come to repentance and a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ! (Rom. 3:23, 10:13)

Thanks so much for praying for me! :) I made my decision, told the people, and I feel peace about the decision I made! :) Thanks again!

Hey, all… I'd really appreciate prayer right now. Spring is setting in, and my eye allergies with it–worse than they have ever been before. Right now I am feeling pretty terrible… Please pray that the allergies wouldn't attack so hard and so often…

Prayed! Ugh, my sister has REALLY bad allergies. It is a rare occasion for her to even go outside for 5 minutes.

LOL, Bethany! Isn't it fun to catch people speechless? :P

Poor thing…it must be awful to have allergies!! My brother struggled with those for most of his "young" life. :P (Like…he's soooo old now. :P jk.. 20 isn't that old…is it?? :P)

@Nicolas: I will be praying for you. Allergies are no fun.

No fun…. our family will be praying for you!

Please pray for me, I have ADHD and am having a lot of trouble today. Our mom said that if we got our school done we could go to the "festival of the nations". I'm having trouble with my school, staying focused, and being quiet so Sarah can get her school done. Please also pray for my brother,Zeke as he has lots of developmental delays. He is starting his intense therapy on Monday and we hope that he will quickly respond to it and he will soon be a normal boy. me, and my mom are having lots of pain. Sarah is VERY distracted and has lots of trouble falling asleep. Thanks!

I'll be praying for you and SBG!

Ouch allergies are no fun. Have you considered getting allergie shots? My brother gets themcause he has horrid allergies.

It is tomorrow and here, in Minnesota. Basically there is a booth for each country of the world. That is just about all I know.

I guess so, but I really have no idea. I'll be praying for you.

It is every year, but this is my first time going.

Maybe I can see you……………………………………………….. But probably not…………………………….

Thanks for the prayers, guys! My allergies haven't been so bad as they were the night I wrote that comment. :)

Good to hear!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's wonderful! I've been keeping you in prayer.

On Tuesday we will be fling to Missouri for the Family Economics conference. Please pray that we would have safety, and that our trip would be a enjoyable time, of learning and fellowship.

Bethany's surgery is at 7:30 this morning. Please be praying for her and all of us.

Prayed!!!!!!!!

Will do!
(Although it might be over now…) ;)

Please let Bethany know that we ae praying for her and for your whole family. I pray that God protects her, and allows the surgery to be sucessful, and blesses her with a quick recovery,

Thank you, Bethany F., Bethany S/M, and Elanee for praying. Her surgery is done and my parents are with her in the recovery room. I will definitely let her know. She will really appreciate it.

Thank you for the update, Carissa! I have been praying for her and thinking about her all morning - may the Lord continue to grant her peace as she begins to heal.

@All: I was wondering if we could make a joint card for Bethany. What you do is write a little note to her (it doesn't have to be long…maybe it just says you're praying for her) and then tell it to me on here or you can email it to me and then I will put everyone's note into a card.

I'm glad she's feeling better, and I'll give you a note when I think of one.

Ok. Sending it to you in a minute.

Sure, I'll do that! :)
What exactly did she have surgery for?

Such a great idea Carissa. I'll write her a note on the airplane tomorrow:)

She had it for her jaw. Her jaw was super far back and it would cause problems later in life if they did not do surgery.

Ouch.

I'll email you, Carissa !

I'd love to contribute, Carissa…is Bethany your sister?

Ok! :) I don't really need to email you just put

'Praying for you and hope you get better soon!'
'Dani (or Danielle)'

:) lol

@Esther: Yeah, Bethany (His Servant) is Carissa's sister.

@Carissa: I'll email it to you, okay?

Oh, I see. I'll get your email from Eden and then I'll email you. I feel kind of funny writing a person note where everyone can see it! :P

Hey all,
Please be praying for us right now because we are trying to shake off this bad cold and we have a Mother's Day gig onThursday. Right now, no one voice is ready to sing and people are still coughing/sneezing etc. Please pray for health for us all! Thank you!

Oh no!! I'll be praying for you all.

We will be praying for you all. I hope your performance is a great success.

@Esther: Yes, Bethany is my sister.
@Emily and Bethany: Okay…I'll be looking for them.
@All: Could you all please have your notes to me (or posted here) by this evening? Thanks.
@Danielle: Thanks so much.

Oooh, right!! There are so many Bethanys I wasn't sure which one or if I'd 'met' her before! I'll be praying for her quick recovery! Just sent you my email :)
