Praying for Kelly's Son

Dear Jesus,

     Tonight, we want to bring Kelly and her son before You.  We ask that You pour out Your healing upon Kelly's son and bring comfort and peace to Kelly and her family.  Please give Your healing touch to Kelly's son.  Fill the hole in his heart.  Raise him up to proclaim Your greatness, Lord Jesus!  Heal him so that he may live a life pleasing to You, ever making proclamation of the victory that he has in You.
     We also ask that You would use this time of uncertainty to draw Kelly into a close relationship with You. We don't know whether she knows You as Lord and Savior yet, or what her relationship to You is like.  But we ask that You manifest Your love to her.  And let her know that You are there with her and You do care. Please help her to know You better, God.  We love You!
     You're awesome God!

Amen

A Prayer for Ashlynn

Dear heavenly Father,

     We also lift Ashlynn up to You in our prayers.  She is young but has been through more trials and struggles than most of us could imagine.  Never feeling any sense of stability in her life, or knowing security.  We ask that You would manifest Yourself to her in a very real way.  Show her what Your love is and that You do love her.  Show her that Your love for her is true love; unconditional love; and You love her for who she is now.  Help her to know that You will always be here for her.
     Thank You, Lord.  We love You!

Amen

A Prayer for Amanda

Dear Jesus,

     Tonight we ask that You would comfort Amanda.  We ask that You touch her ankle and heal her.  Strengthen her ankles against any other injuries.  And help her to bring Your Great Name glory and honor even in her soccer games, Lord.  As she is resting and recovering, we ask that You would train and prepare her mentally to face the challenges of life.  And in all things, whether sick, injured, or healthy, help her life to point to You.
     We thank You, Lord, for being with us.  We thank You even for the "sprained ankles" of our lives.  They only serve to show us our weaknesses so that we may exercise and discipline ourselves in those areas.  Help Amanda, and all of us, to learn what You are teaching us through our struggles.
    We love You, Jesus.  Thank You!

Amen

Praying for @babesoccer26

Dear Lord Jesus,

     Tonight we thank You and praise You for who You are.  You are our Great Physician.  You are our Lord.  And You call us, who know You as Saviour, friends.
     We also have a special request.  Our friend has heart problems.  And tonight, we're asking for Your healing touch.  The healing touch from our Great Physician!  Our prayer is not one of selfish desire.  But that through her healing, You would be magnified to her, and those around her.  We ask that You show Yourself, through her, to the surrounding world.  We pray that You would heal her so that she will be healthy and made whoee in order to speak of the marvelous things You have done.
     We love You, Lord, our God!  And we thank You!

Amen

Praying for Larry

Dear Lord Jesus,

     Tonight, we thank You for being with us.  And we thank You for being our ever-present help in the time of need.  We also thank You for our brother Larry.  And we ask that You would heal him of this sickness so that he may give You more glory for his recovery.  As he suggested, this may be the start of the flu.  But we pray that, whatever ailment this is the start of, this will also be the end of it.  You have taught us to come to You, Father God, for everything - big and small.  And we're coming to You now, Lord.  This healing would be a big thing to us.  Yet we know, it is but a small thing for You.  Whether sick or well, we know that Larry will continue to give You praise.  And we know that You will be with him and bring him through this.  For this, and many other reasons, we all give You praise!  We love You, Lord God!  Thank You for the great privilege You have given us to commune with You the way we do.

Amen

Praying for Dave's Headache to be Healed

Dear heavenly Father,

     We gather together to thank You for this day.  And we thank You for our brother Dave.  We ask, Lord Jesus, that You would heal Dave.  Ease his headache and heal whatever may be causing it.  We turn to You, Lord, for our healing because You alone are the Great Physician.  And You alone are the source of our help.    We pray that You will help him use this healing for Your great glory, Jesus.  And until Your healing comes, use this ailment for Your glory also.  But grant to him the grace to endure this discomfort, Lord.
     We thank You.  We praise You!  And we love You, God!

Amen
