Prayer Warrior, I'm praying hard for your dad. I'm so thankful that he has made such progress in such a short time. Having been a victim of several strokes myself, I know how frustrating recovering from them can be. The mind is willing, but the body cannot keep up. As a man of God, even tho his sight is damaged he continues to do the Lord's work and I believe with all my heart that thru his faith his sight will be restored. I'm gonna get numerous prayer lines going up for him thru several churches. I know your heart is breaking, but you have always been there for anybody trying to find the Lord and He is not going to forget that. I KNOW God is still performing miracles everyday. I know your faith will get you thru this. My wish for you is that the Lord will comfort you and all your family during this difficult time. I love you. Your sister in Christ, Redbird

Redbird...what kind and encouraging words. Thank you so very much! I know that God has a plan in everything...otherwise, I would not have came in at the time that I did to find him just as he was just going into the stroke. He actually had 2 strokes we have learned. The second of which was the big one. I know that God placed my brother and myself there just at the right moment. My dad is such a man of great faith, but he has always been very independent(putting it mildly). . . there is only one way to skin a cat AND there is only one way to sweep a floor!! Haha. Reasoning as a child was certainly out of the question and as an adult, I have just as hard a time, because I'm still the child and he's still the parent! He's still for the most part blind. He can sometimes make out the frame of a face or see a number but he he mostly feels around in darkness. If anything, right now, it's almost like he's not doing as well as he was a week ago. He keeps quoting Timothy in saying "I have learned in whatever state I'm in to be content" but I dont think he's totally convinced yet. Thank you for your prayers. I know that God has been with him all along the way. Please continue to pray, and yes, thanks for praying for the family also. It is difficult when one needs cared for, regardless of how strong the love is, it's hard to be spread so thin. may God bless.

My child desperately needs prayers. I know the devil's got my child in his grips. Please pray that my child will turn back to the Lord and rebuke the forces that satan has over the mind and body. Drugs are so powerful. Its something I cant understand, but I do know that it's straight from the devil. Please pray with me that my child will be delivered from the addictions in this precious life. Thank you so much...In God I put my trust................

The only thing we can do is pray. We just have to try to find peace in the Lord and have faith that he will deliver them from the wiles of the devil.

Dear Miserable Mommas, Just want you to know that I am praying for you, your children and your families. Drugs seem to be the devil's weapon of choice these days and it is very rare to come across a family that has not been affected by them. These are very trying times, but I still believe in miracles. I believe that we serve a mighty God that can and will deliver our loved ones from this affliction if we hang onto Him, have faith, and keep praying. God Bless You!!!!

There are so many that are going thru a time of relapse right now that desperately need our prayers....not our judging, but our love and compassion. Right now I ask each one who sees this to please just take a moment and ask God to lay his hand upon each individual who has an addiction problem and just touch them in a mighty way and deliver them from the hands of satan. Some of us may not be able to understand how something can have such a hold on a person......but it is real !!! This world, in the shape its in right now, with the economy and all, is driving people to do things that they would normally never do. People are desperate to find peace, and are looking in all the wrong places....but are blinded to that fact---by Satan. Lets just join together and pray that God will put a hedge up around these who are suffering from addiction and protect them from the roaring lion thats waiting to devour them. Lets not find ourselves gossipping about them, instead let us find ourselves crying out to God to deliver them from the grips that satan has on their minds and bodies----In Jesus' name.

Thanks Redbird. Your parents are in my prayers. I never get a chance to do any thing on here anymore, or any of the work I love doing for others, but right now you know where my priorities have to be. My dad and my own have got to be my main focus. The devil certainly doesnt want me working against him in the ministry that God placed me in, that's for sure. Ole Satan has sure been attacking my family in every way that he can.......but I am claiming victory, in Jesus' name!!!! Satan can rob us of alot of things but he cant take my salvation! He's taken my dad's sight but he cant take his salvation! I'm just continuing to ask God to build a hedge around all of my family to keep satan out and I'm determined to kick him in the teeth when he sticks his head thru that hedge that God has built!!!! I refuse to throw in the towel!! You guys are in my prayers.........If God brings us to it, He will bring us thru it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May God Bless.

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has continued to pray for my dad for the past few months, since his stroke and his blindness. He's had a really rocky road, but God is still working. He's gone thru alot of surgeries, some that have actually made things worse instead of better. We are now thankful just to have him back to where he was right after the stroke. He can now see the figures of people, although he cant make out who they are.....he can see a person in front of him. We're praising God for that. He can see light from darkness. We are still staying with him 24/7, but he isnt as dependent as he was a few weeks ago. We've seen him come a long way in just the past 2 weeks. God has definitely answered alot of prayers. Please continue to keep him, as well as our entire family in your prayers. Satan has had quite a year with our family this first half of the year, but we're not throwing in the towel, as much as he'd love for us to. We're gonna continue to fight the fight for Christ, but there's alot of obstacles, and we need a lot of prayer warriors behind us, so please remember us daily as you pray. Thank you and may God Bless each of you.

I have 2 very special young men I'd like to ask all the prayer warriors to pray for. Both are in rehab right now and having a very hard time. God knows who they are. I ask that you please lift them up, along with their families. Now is a very difficult time for the family as well as these young men. Please pray that God will give them and the family the strength and courage they need to fight this battle and defeat satan. Thank you.

Many requests come in each day.....1. pray for the lost in the communities around the state. 2. For all those who have health problems, that God will touch them, and heal them according to His will, and give them comfort and peace. 3. For those who have lost loved ones, that they may be given peace, comfort and understanding. 4. Laurel Lake Baptist campers and counselors----their safety, unity, and most of all for lost souls to be saved. 5. All those churches without pastors 6. The pastors, deacons and other leaders of all of God's churches, that they may seek God and God only for guidance and be in obedience to HIM. 7. Law enforcement officers and public officials, that God will guide them in the right direction and keep them safe and protect them. 8. pray that God will stretch out His hand upon our country and heal our land, from all of the evil within it and get our country back to HIM.
