A Time To Pray



I thought I would post some of the requests we have been given to pray about.

Jason: Goes to take his CDL test today. He asks that we would pray for him to receive peace and pass this exam.

Mark / Joshua: Pray that they make the most of 2nd chances. That they would always be reminded of the great grace of God that had been given to them during this time of transition in their lives.

We have been asked to pray for several families whose lives have been broken by addiction. Some of these relationships are headed toward divorce. While we understand that divorce is not from God, and that His desire is to see families healed and made whole, sometimes addiction has done so much damage, that one of the two parties does not want to be reconciled. Our prayer is for God to heal both parties. To keep the children free from the destruction that is being waged during this time. 

We have several who have asked for prayer concerning healing.
We have three who are struggling with various forms of cancer. Pray that God would bring healing to their bodies. Pray against the cancer that it would be driven back and removed. Pray for the medicine that is being administered to these individuals, that it would accomplish what it was created for, without the terrible side effects that accompany it.

Continue to pray for Grant. He was able to toss a football from his bed, to his son. Grant truly is a miracle and testimony to the awesomeness of God. Pray that Grant's recovery would be ongoing. That healing would continue to take place.

David: He has a new job that requires a lot of physical exertion. He is in the process of adapting to this, and finds himself exhausted, sore and hurting at the end of his day. He is grateful for the opportunity to work. Pray strength to his emotions and for resolve to see this all the way through. Healing to his body and endurance to his purpose.

Just a few of the requests that have come to VRC.

James 5:16
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

Matthew 7:7
Ask,and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you.

God On You....
