Another request from a good friend online, received Monday, May 18, 2009: My Uncle Barry in NC is in the hospital with pneumonia, and heart failure. Only a 1/4 of his heart is functioning and he will be on oxygen for the rest of his life. The doctors aren't giving him a time limit but it doesn't look good. Hospice has been called in to help the family.
A Marion woman has just taken steps to end an abusive relationship and pursue legal action against her abuser. Meanwhile, she has several young children, and is expecting another. Please pray for this young woman as she attempts to get her life back in order, that she will make wise decisions, that she and her children will be kept safe, and that they all come to understand God's love for them and His plan for their lives.

Our website input form brings a request from Crystal, who has been dealing with a situation involving false allegations about leaders in her church. Crystal asks that we pray for God to intervene and that the truth will come out. Though Crystal's location is unknown to us, we know that our great and awesome God knows exactly where she is, and He knows the truth. May He reveal it clearly to all, and may His name be lifted up as the Way, the Truth, and the Life!
From our friends in that state up north: Please pray for Linda's son Chad, who went to the hospital on Saturday, November 15th, because he wasn't feeling well. A CAT scan revealed lesions on his liver. Chad, who has two open heart surgeries in his history, was scheduled to go to Ann Arbor on Sunday for further hospital tests. May our loving God show the medical professionals all that they need to see, and may He give Chad the blessing of full health for a long time to come.
Many of you will recall our friend Jaye, for whom we've been praying since her daughter was stricken last year, ultimately moving on to be with the Lord. Jaye's father has been having his share of problems lately, and today (10/1) we learned that her younger brother Ray has just been diagnosed with some type of melanoma. Please mention this family's needs in your prayers as you are able.
Submitted online: "A friend has passed on a request for prayer for an 8 month old who has been diagnosed with cancer. The baby's name is Blake, and he is not expected to survive. I ask that you remember this family with the difficult times that they will be facing."

God be with us, as we try to move forward, and help those heal who have most suffered from this horrible act. Please be with our President and his staff, and guide our nation to wisely select our next leader, one who will stand against such evil. Guide all of our leaders and our people, that we might be a better people than we were before this horror came to our shores. Help us to put aside all matters that do not matter, and work together on those that matter most. Protect our fighting men and women around the globe, and strengthen their families, until You allow them to be reunited on American soil. Help us all to reflect your holiness and selfless love to a world that is in desperate need of You. Amen.
From one of our new online readers: Please pray for my family through some very serious times in their lives. Also for Gail's health with the last stages of COPD and for her grandson, Michael who has once again been deployed.

Now that the voters have made their decisions, it is important to remember the admonitions of the New Testament to pray for our leaders. No matter their political philosophies or ours, the responsibilities placed on those in leadership are too much to bear without the assistance of Almighty God. May they always hear His voice. May they always obey. May we always encourage them in the right direction, and may God always bless America. May America bless God.
Please pray for longtime friends of Pastor Dan's, Sam and Dee, from Texas, and their family. Sam has been very ill for quite some time. Now their son and daughter-in-law, Allen and Cheryl, have been in a terrible auto accident, on Thursday, October 30th, in Memphis, Tennessee, and are both in very bad shape. Family from various states are en route to provide support, but we know that God is already on the scene. Please ask Him to provide His peace that surpasses all understanding. He knows what these dear folks need; please ask Him to provide it all and more right away. UPDATE 11/6: On top of all of this, Allen and Cheryl's two-month old granddaughter has suddenly contracted a bacterial infection that may end her life. Their son Joey rushed to Memphis to be with his father, and upon returning home has now had to deal with the shock and sorrow of possibly losing one of his baby twins. As another friend wrote, "I ask you all, dear angels, to storm the Heavens so that God may grant relief to this family." UPDATE 11/11: Baby Navaya has made that last journey, and is in the arms of our Lord. Cheryl was discharged from the hospital, but soon afterward had to be readmitted. Plans are being made for her and Allen to be flown back to Texas, probably to the hospital at which Cheryl is a department chairperson. This family needs our prayers now, and obviously will for some time to come.
Lynda writes (10/14) to request prayer for a 32-year-old friend named Bryce, who has just learned that he has a rare form of cancer. She also has asked that we pray for her son David, who will be deploying to Afghanistan within a few days. David is married, 35, and has four children. Also pray for Lynda, who will be caring for her two oldest grandchildren for a while, and please continue to pray for all of our brave men and women in uniform.
Jeff Smith's father Elwood has been diagnosed with serious illness, and family members have asked that we pray for his spiritual needs as well as for physical healing.
A request from Lou, through our web submittal form: "Please include my daughter in your prayers ( Amanda ) so that she may realize she's on ther verge of destroying three kids lives. Also myself as I am facing serious medical problems. Where two or more are gathered together...there I will be also. I believe in prayer."
