As I was preparing to post this blog, a thought came to mind: Many people want to talk to you or about you when you're going through something, but not enough people talk to God on your behalf during these times. That's why Thoughtful Thursdays is so important to me. It takes us out of the realm of being mere spectators or onlookers, gazing at the misfortune and struggles of others. Through prayer, we become active participants in helping that person recover from whatever ails them.
Please know that, I thank God you're connected to this blog ministry. I don't ever want the Daily Cup readers to become numb and desensitized to the needs of others, which is why I'm so deeply grateful for the praying women who read these daily posts. As you stand with me in prayer, I know we're truly changing lives together. Remember, if you ever need prayer for anything, please don't hesitate to send your request to dailycup@eewmagazine.com. I'm always honored to "touch and agree" with you by faith.
Here are this weeks prayer requests:
1. A woman named Crystal and her husband have been trying to conceive for years. They even had three In Vitro Fertilization procedures and just found out they're pregnant. Crystal is beside herself with joy, but also full of anxiety about the possibility of losing this baby. She is requesting prayer for a healthy pregnancy. We're asking God to give Crystal's mind rest, so that she will trust Him to carry her through this pregnancy successfully.
2. Someone whose name will remain anonymous is requesting prayer for their father who is in critical condition in the hospital right now. He's suffering from Liver Cirrhosis, as a result of chronic liver disease. Pray that God would stretch out His hand of healing and that, the Lord's divine will be done.
3. Please pray for Shae Johnson and family. Shae's cousin from Chicago, was sick with swine flu and died in the doctor's office. She was just 43 years old. Join me in asking God to give peace to the family and strength during this difficult time.
4. A blog reader named Morgan feels the call of God to pursue a vision, but is going through a season where nothing seems to be opening up. Morgan is feeling discouraged and ready to give up, but we know that God is able to give clarity and infuse new life into her divinely inspired dreams. Let's pray for her that she will draw even closer to God during this dry season, so that He can manifest Himself to Morgan in new and deeper ways.
5. A good friend of mine, Elder Jonathan Boyd, lost his father. Please say a prayer for the Boyd family that the peace of God would be with them as they go through the healing process.
Thank you again for taking time to pray.
As always, thanks for reading and until next time... may you be empowered to prosper!
