Prayer Wall

To all the new ones to the group, Welcome Aboard!  Any special need(s) for Prayer? May God's Blessings be upon you Always. 

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18

[Jesus said,] “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”  Matthew 5:4

Remind me, Father, that you are always there for me, willing to comfort me and put my heart back together whenever it breaks.  Lord, allow me to see the suffering of others as an opportunity to share your love with them. Open my heart to their pain and to be an instrument of your healing. I know Lord as I help others I'm healing myself.  Jesus may you always take 1st play, Others 2nd and myself (You) last  to spell JOY!

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. - 1 Peter 5:6

Father may we all come to you in pray and humble ourselves before the Cross of Jesus. Jesus who takes away the sins of the world, have Mercy on us. You have cleansed us with your blood and made us Children of the Father. Holy Spirit help us follow Jesus, make us worthy to accept this gift of Love. 

[Jesus said,] “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”  Matthew 5:7

Thank you, Lord, for the many mercies you extend to me each day. Help me to bless others with the same kind of merciful kindness. May we never forget who is King and Ruler of us all.  Through Christ our Lord Amen.

Set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12

Jesus, I look to you as my perfect role model and holy example. Keep me mindful that others see you by what I do and say.

The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”  Exodus 33:14

Lord, calm my heart when I feel anxious and remind me that you’ve got everything under control. Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers

Defend the rights of the poor and needy. Proverbs 31:9

Father, open my eyes to the needs around me. Show me how I can be Christ to someone I meet today.

"Keep yourself pure."  1 Timothy 5:22

Jesus, I feel so worn down sometimes, dirty and tired from all the daily battles of life. Thank you for making me clean again.

Welcome Scared2letuhavehim

Welcome AhoySailormom 

I will keep Yvonne in prayer , Please keep us updated.

Praying now and will be

Father, the Great Physician, The GREAT I AM,

We come to you in Prayer to ask that You watch over Yvonne, her Doctors and John.  Holy Spirit guide them to make the correct decisions. Jesus be with them Give them Your Peace.  Heavenly Father we Trust in Your Wisdom and Love. We ask this through Christ Your Son AMEN

Jesusintheboat and Blondie,

We had our appt. with the surgeon yesterday and he explained what the surgery would be like. He would work on T12-S1 with screws and rods. It sounds scary but our trust is in the Lord and he told me that he would 'restore me to health and heal my wounds'. And unless he steps in and heals miraculously I feel that he is leading me through surgery. Regardless of which way I know that he is the one who does the healing! We did find our that our Surgeon is a Christian which was a blessing! The surgery will take around 9 hours( which is also scary), but that's why we are praying so specifically for him- for wisdom, clarity, strength, alertness, a clear mind thinking only of the surgery he is performing. I have a peace about all of this as a result of spending time with Jesus this morning! Praise his name! Thank you for your prayers and may the Lord bless you!

 Yvonne

Thank you for the update and will continue praying for healing and thanking Him for a Christian surgeon.

If you can let us know the date of the surgery so we can pray as the surgery is taking place .   Jesus is above it all!! A  big hug for you.

Amen.  He holds you in the palm of his hand.  Lord Bless Yvonne, John and their Family with Your Peach and Love.  Wisdom, Knowledge and Guidance to the Surgical team and Hospital.

Thank you Moms! we have a meeting with the surgeon next Thursday morning at 8:00 am. Hopefully some questions we have will be answered and the surgery scheduled. I'll keep you updated after the meeting!

Thanks again for all your prayers!

Blessings,

Yvonne

Thinking of you Yvonne.  How are you doing?  How was your meeting with the surgeon?   Just know still thinking about  you and praying for you

Prayers for a Safe and Blessed New Years to all

Thank you Blondie, the same to you and your family as well

Welcome HappyinTheValley

Welcome God'sPlan

Jesusintheboat,

Our first meeting was him explaining what the surgery would be. He would fuse T10 to S1. We did find out that he is a Christian man which was a plus. He has been doing these surgeries for the last 18 years.

Our second meeting was a time of asking questions and letting him know if I want to go forward with the surgery. I told him yes. He said he would start the paperwork and get the process going. Haven't heard anything more because of the holidays, but hopefully we will next week. Thank you so much for your concern and prayers. They are so much appreciated!!

I will keep you updated with the date and all the things I have to do to prepare for surgery when we get more information. The surgery will be in Janurary sometime. 

Happy New year to you and your family!

Yvonne

Happy New Year to you and your family as well. Will continue to pray for you and the surgeon.

Thank you, Jesusintheboat!  Happy to be here!

Thank you!

Welcome all! 

Prayers continue Yvonne. 

I have a prayer request.  My brother is a pastor in central Oregon.  A couple in his congregation, close friends of his, have been quarantining due to Covid and tonight while my brother was checking in on them over the phone the wife started screaming.  My brother rushed over to their house not knowing what had happened and found her trying to resuscitate her husband.  Despite the EMT’s and their best efforts he was pronounced dead at the hospital.  My brother is shocked and heart broken.  They offered to care for the widow at their house or hers, since she is still quite ill herself on top of everything she’s just been through, but she insisted on being alone.  She has no children or family and her in-laws are elderly and unable to provide much physical support. 
Please pray for the widow.  What a terrible loss at a vulnerable time.  They’re in their mid 40s.  Pray for my brother also… that God will comfort his heart and guide him in how to effectively minister and provide comfort and support to the widow and family involved.  And please pray for his congregation, as well.  The couple was very involved in the children’s ministry.  Jason will be missed by all, but especially the kiddos who he loved on every week.

 Thank you, Ladies!

Father I ask that you keep this Pastor and his Flock in  Your Loving Care. I ask that you wrap this community and their loved ones in Your Arms, give them Comfort that the world cannot give. Show them how to care for each other through Christ and turn to You in their time of need.  Use this experience to draw them closer to You Lord. Through Christ Your Son , Amen 

HUGS Happy

Will keep in prayer HappyintheValley and in agreement with Blondie's prayer 

Putting the date on the calendar and will be in prayer now until then and on that date as well

Thanks for letting us know.  Praying you have Jesus' Peace to calm and sustain you. Asking God to watch over you and the doctor's, Nurses etc. 

Yvonne praying for you for tomorrow  , John praying for you as well    

Looking for updates on Yvonne, I will continue to Pray for her and her family. God knows her/their needs.

John and Yvonne know we are still praying for you.

I received this from another Navy mom from a different group and do not know how to transfer the link she sent me for all of us to receive an update on Yvonne, so I am typing it out.She has been home from the rehab center for a week tomorrow. It's great having her home! Sarah and Jacob have been staying here with us too. They have really helped Yvonne's spirit and blessed her heart! Yvonne is up and active quite a lot each day. However with that there is a price to pay. She has been experiencing increased pain at times. Especially at night when her back and legs "seize up". We called the doctor yesterday and they added a second dose of Gabapentin to be taken at night, it helped with the spasms last night. But today she has had pain most of the day. When the home health care physical therapist came this morning she pushed past the pain and worked with her. She stood up in front of the kitchen sink three times(52 sec. 45sec,50 sec). She's been having pain most of the afternoon and evening when she sits in her wheelchair. In bed she can relax and seems to not suffer as much. She listens to an audio that Elizabeth sent us that is an "affirmations" audio that also helps her relax when she's in pain.I've been doing a lot of praying for this afternoon and evening. Please do the same for her. Especially in an area on her right side that always gives her pain. I hate seeing her in so much pain! I know the Word says to be strong and of a good courage.But sometimes right now I don't feel very strong or courageous. But I know when I am weak He is strong! His strength is made perfect in my weakness. I believe the Lord told us that He would restore Yvonne to health and heal her wounds(Jer 30:17). And then confirmed that when He told us "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He Who promised is faithful"(Heb 10:23). Please continue to pray for us!!      (This was sent yesterday to the Navy Mom)

Glad for any news. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. The Lord is our Strength!

Heavenly Father, hear are prayers for Yvonne and her family.  Be with them in a special way. Let them feel your presence and Love. Watch over all our Military families and give them Peace. Amen.

Just received this post from John: A treat for Yvonne today - sitting in the sun

Good morning everyone!!!   John posted yesterday: Great day for Yvonne.

Thanks be to God!

Yesterday from John: Wow! What a day today was! The nurse came today at 8:00 to change Yvonne's bandage. 10:00 was the Home Health Aid came for a bath , in between I put the Tub transfer bench together. Then 11:00 the Occupational Therapist came and put Yvonne through the wringer! She transferred her for the first time to the stair lift. So Yvonne went upstairs. They practiced going from the stair lift, to the walker, and then to the transfer bench in the tub. Then she rode the stair lift back down. We sat outside on the patio in the sunshine. Then Yvonne folded the laundry and we cooked dinner(Yvonne's part was better than mine!)

Yeah Yvonne!!!!  You look Great!  John Bless you, you're doing a great job at supporting her and keeping everything (or most things) straight.  May God's hand always be upon you.

Yvonne got sick last a hard night. Feeling better today .

Just received this from Yvonne:   I have to Praise the Lord!!He is so good to me and us! Last night was the first time in 2 months that I had a good night sleep almost all the way through the night! And the Lord is true to His Word about healing me. I am getting so much better pain wise too.  The Dr, ordered a bone growth stimulator that I wear for 2 hours a day. It is supposed to cause the bones to fuse faster. Hallelujah!

I would like prayer for John, He has been such a good caregiver! But he has been lacking in sleep, especially at night checking on me. He did take a nap this morning and feels so much better, but I would like prayer for him that he would get  more restful sleep at night! Thank you all so much!  Blessings to you all!! Yvonne    ( I was contacted by a mom on Navy for Moms and she tried to get ahold of you Blondie but could not and others but got through to me .   So that is how I am getting these messages to relay onto you all)

Father we Thank you for helping Yvonne sleep. For the growth stimulator and all that you do for us. We place John in your loving arms, be his strength, keep him healthy.  Thank you Father for your Faithfulness. Amen
