Our friend's mother, Sandy, had a terrible fall (inside Walmart) and is in ICU on a ventilator, fighting for her life at Emory. Please pray that she is fully restored to the young, sweet, vibrant grandmother that she is.
ReplyDeletePlease pray for our cousin, John Siggers, who is leaving for Afghanistan and will serve in the bomb dog division of the Marines. We are also praying for the protection and safety of his bomb dog, Rico. Lord, be with them both and may You be known by them.
Thank you so much!
Rebekah

Dear Jesus, I pray in Your precious name who holds us close in times of despair and dissillusionment, that You would would come near to Conny and be her security and her protector. I pray that you will be with her mother in law as she has surgery and with her parents as they visit from Peru. Divorce affects the whole family and I pray for both sets of parents as see their children and grandchild hurting so much from this, that You will provide them with an extra measure of your grace. I pray, Lord, if it be possible and in Your will, that You would restore this marriage and family.
DeleteI pray also, Lord, for her niece is who sick with anorexia. I pray you will release her from the evil thoughts that deceive her mind into thinking her body does not look as it should. We pray victory over this as You restore her physcially, mentally and spiritually. Enable her to receive the help she needs and to provide the necessary funds for it.
Lord, this entire family needs You. Thank you that you have promised us that You are always there and Your love superecedes our pain. May all the things that are overwhelming this family allow to be testimony for Your strength as Conny cannot possibly endure without Your righteous right hand. In Jesus name may it be so.
Conny I will pray for you this week. Remember HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU!!!! Jesus wrap your oh so comforting arms around Conny.
DeleteRest there friend.
Agreeing with Lisa and Pepper. Father, please be with Conny's mother-in-law through her surgery. Bring her healing father in her knee, her blood pressure, her heart, and her emotions. Touch each area of her life with your healing touch and power. Grant her peace in the areas she needs it Lord. Carry her through this time, and Conny also. Believing for your will to be done in this marriage and their family as Pepper said. Be with Chloe and Conny as they begin the support group. Let it speak wisdom and healing into their lives. Help Conny's parents also as they go through this time. Speak to each and every one of them.
DeleteAsking that You touch and heal her niece in Jesus Name, setting her free from anorexia. Let her eyes and heart see that she was fearfully and wonderfully made by You Father (Psalm 139:14). Grant her parents the strength, wisdom, and knowledge they need to help her at this time. In Jesus Name, Amen! Love, Sarah
conny--i am agreeing with sarah, lisa, and pepper! may the Lord hear our prayers and bring restoration and healing in ALL areas of your precious life!
Deletecling to Him, sweet friend. He wants to carry you through it all. let Him.
love you so.
Praying in agreement with you all. God's Word does not return void.
DeleteConny,
ReplyDeleteGod bless your mother in law and I pray God keeps her stable and healthy and protected in His hands during her knee surgery. I pray that she is fully restored and helped tremendously by having surgery on her knee.
Anorexia in such a serious disease. I know your sister and brother in law must be so concerned. I pray that the Lord touches your niece and heals her. I pray God gives her an inner peace when she looks at her body and that she will have a healthy concept of food and nutrition and will reject ideas of calorie counting and poor body image. Touch her thoughts Lord, may they only be ordained by You and may she not be tormented by self loathing thoughts, Lord. Give her parents direction and peace as they help her each day.
I pray that You, Lord Jesus, shelter Conny and her family as they grieve and try to understand this devastating turn in her marriage, Lord. May You be Glorified, Lord, even and especially in things we can't understand. May we constantly give these problems back to You and trust you in these low, valley circumstances we face.
Thank you that Conny and Chloe are starting a support group. We praise you in advance for the godly women that Conny and Chloe will meet. Please put the people in their path that You would have them know, God, friends who can encourage them both and speak life to their situation. We thank you that you are working in this valley, we trust You with Conny's life, Lord. Be Glorified, in the Holy name of Jesus, Amen.
Agreeing with you Rebekah! In Jesus Name, let His will be done! Love, Sarah
DeleteAmen...LORD God Almighty!!! Amen and Amen!!! In agreement with all that has been prayed...we thank You for total restoration of health to Conny's mother in-law...the knee, the heart, and the emotions. We rebuke the lie that places guilt on parents when our children divorce...the tormenting spirits that haunt us saying what could you have done differently. LORD, if there is any wrong done any where...we thank You for Your Grace...Your unmerited favor on all concerned. Parents' In-law love our sons and daughters in-law as our own if we are allowed long enough...if we are walking in the WORD...so the breach...the tear...the loss of that loved on...that daughter or son in-law is like a death. There's much grief. Father, so many tell us to grieve as lon as we need to...but grief is torment and can kill...many that have lost spouses...especially elderly...have lost the will to live...so we cast out this grief and torment over this marriage that is upsetting these precious parents...in Jesus' Name!!! We ask for a miracle with Conny and her husband. We would love that they would be together...but most of all LORD we want You will in both of their lives. We ask You, Jesus, not only to meet Conny where she is and we thank You for the ones You've sent to be of help to Conny and Chloe. Just as I was sent to the public school...and Beka is sent to minister life where she is...LORD, You have gone ahead of Conny...and we pray she will receive only what is coming from You through Your servant...and the same for Chloe. I thank You LORD for each prayer prayed for this family and for all the needs on this page. Strengthen and fill to overflowing each of them with Your presence and power...to keep on praying and we thank You for more prayer warriors in the field LORD as You've told us to pray. In Jesus' Name...Amen and Amen. Thank You for the peace I am aware of now over this family...the peace that passes all understanding that only You, LORD, the Prince of Peace can give.
DeleteLORD, I also speak His peace to the niece with anorexia. We know, LORD, it is an eating disorder, and we know that diorder is a spirit. You give us the keys to the Kingdom, LORD, and whatever we bind on earth is bound in Heaven, and whatever we loose on earth is loosed in Heaven. We bind disorder in Jesus' Name, and we loose order into the girl's life and the life of this family. Along with disorder, there's depression, despair, destruction...all tentacles of the spirit of death. We are as the women called by Jeremiah...the mourning and clever women...who have been called because death has come to the door for the children. In Jesus' Name, arm in arm and surrounding this family, we shut the doors that have been opened, in the authority of Jesus' Name! Whatever doors He shuts can't be opened. We also shut all the windows, in Jesus' Name. We speak the doors of freedom from this addiction open in Jesus' Name. The addiction is to starvation...she practices starvation through anorexia...it is a controlling spirit...and makes her feel in control. Therefore, we command the spirit to loose her in Jesus' Name. We say NO to anorexia!!! We say Yes to eating healthy! We say NO to death and destruction...to depression and despair! We speak life and life abundantly to every cell in her body, in Jesus' Name. We thank You, LORD, that she will feel hunger and will eat for nourishment. We thank You that she will beginning today feel the freedom to eat and not be ashamed or tormented by guilt. All that are not of God must leave this girl alone, in the Mighty Name of Jesus!!! If she's reading or playing games...any fantasizing...any enticing and seducing pictures to be extremely thing...we thank You, LORD, that her parents who love her more than anything in the world will remove them from her sight. WE thank You, LORD, for praise music...as praise and worship is the prayer that changes every thing!! May this home be filled at all times with Your WORD sung throughout the home and in the car. In Jesus' Name...Praise is warfare...we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities that want our children. We say NO!!!!! in Jesus' Name, Amen and Amen
DeleteTHANK YOU ALL MY SHINE GIRLS ...LOVE YOU ALL...
DeleteConny
Please pray for the Wilkins family here in Madison. There 9th grade son, Jake, was killed after falling out of a moving vehicle yesterday ! Heartbroken!!!
ReplyDeleteKim J
Oh dear sweet Father. I don't even know what to say...
DeleteSo I will speak here what I do know.
You are omniscient.
You are powerful.
You are love.
You are hope.
You are peace.
You are holy.
You are perfect.
You are mighty.
You are good.
We acknowledge You today. May this family see You...through the darkness. Amen.
Agreeing with Lisa, in Jesus name, for the Wilkins family. Lord, reveal all that you are to this family through this tragedy. May you be Glorified and lift this family up, walk with them, Lord, in the way only You can.
DeleteAmen.
Agreeing with each of you! Let Your love flow Father. Let Your peace fall on areas of confusion at this time. Let Your presence fall heavily on their family. Asking that You hold them and carry them. Please hover over them, carefully tending to each tear, each pain, each hurt, each sadness, and each brokenness. Move and work as only You can. Thank you for being our Almighty God, and thank you for moving on behalf of this family. Please be with them in the days to come. In Jesus Name, Amen. Love, Sarah
DeleteFather, I agree in Jesus' Name, for that Peace that passes all understanding...that that comfort that only You, Holy Spirit can give...to just surround them. May Your Kingdom come...May Your Will be done in this family and this circumstance at this time. We are broken-hearted for them...O precious LORD, we than You that You love them and care more about them all than we do. In Jesus' Name, Amen and Amen.
DeletePraying for the Wilkins family - now and in the dark days to come!
DeleteLet's remember to pray for Jake's young friends too. The first experience with death, especially the death of a young person, can be life-changing... Prayers that these young people will know Jesus and His peace which passes all understanding!
Knowing the pain of the loss of a child, I am praying fervently for this family.
DeleteGod, please cover the Wilkins family and friends with Your comfort. Let them feel Your presence as close as their breath. Give them energy to get up to eat and to care for their daughter. Give them strength for the funeral. These are the times that we have nothing and depend on past growth & memorized scriptures to get through each day. Bring to their mind Your word in their hearts as they cling to Your promises. Continue to minister to them weeks and months from now when the pain seems insurrmountable; when they miss him so much it physically hurts.
Father, this pain is great. You know this kind of pain. Please meet them in this and bless their sorrow and bring good out of it. May they be like Job and prove themselves worthy of this time of testing through Your love & comfort.
Amen.
Agreeing with all of you ladies in Jesus Name! Love, Sarah
DeleteAgreeing with Lisa and Rebekah.
ReplyDeleteHold the Wilkins family in your firm grip, Father. Carry them even now. They need you like never before. In Jesus Name.
agreeing with Kim, Lisa, Sarah, Aunt Teddi, and Mary. this story breaks my heart!! i cannot even imagine.
DeleteOh, but Lord, we know You are carrying this family! we just KNOW you are! continue soothing their wounds with your healing balm, Father. let them feel Your presence, Lord.
In Jesus name.
Agreeing with you Jill! Sarah
DeleteI have a friend who is having some health problems. Please lift her up to the Lord. She thought it was hormonal, but now they are thinking it may be Lyme disease. She is worried, but trusting the Lord.
ReplyDeletePlease pray for her healing. Thank you!
Jill, praying our Heavenly Father would bless her faith in trusting the Lord and see her through this unsure time in her life. May He give her a sound mind. Praying that healing would be in order for her body. May He touch and heal any areas that need His healing touch and healing power. Father, please watch over Jill's friend, bringing her the best of the best when it comes to wise doctors and nurses, protecting her and anyone involved in supporting her, and let her eyes remain fixed on You Father. For You are the master physician whom we place our hope and trust. In Jesus Name, Amen! Believing with you for her complete healing, Sarah
Deleteagreeing with Sarah and binding Lyme disease and any other illness from your friend, Jill. I pray that God protects her health and restores her body-- so that she is feeling better than she has ever felt before.
DeletePsalms 91:1-2
'Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge(C) and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”'
Agreeing with you girls and binding Lyme disease and any other illness attacking Jill's friend, in Jesus' Name. We thank You, LORD, for healing her from the top of her head to the tips of her toes...from the inside out...in Jesus' Name. We declare no plague shall come nigh her dwelling...in Jesus' Name. We say not tothe Lyme disease in Jesus' Name, Amen and Amen.
DeleteJill, I will be praying for your friend as she uncovers the "whys" of her health problems. I have a friend in Atlanta who went through very scary medical situations before finally being diagnosed with Lyme disease...maybe we can connect them via email or facebook??
DeletePlease continue praying for our fellow SHINE girl, Angela Lawson. She is undergoing treatment for cancer and she just had her first round of chemo a couple of weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteLift her up to the Father and pray for complete healing for our friend! Also that she have very few side affects of the treatment.
Thank you so much!!
Father, we say NO to cancer in Jesus' Name! We say cancer you must bow to the Name of Jesus! We curse you to the root and command that you bear no more fruit...that you don't drop any seed in Jesus' Name. We thank You, LORD, for the Keys to the Kingdom...we thank You that we have the authority to bind and to loose. We bind cancer and we loose good cells over bad cells...we bind death and we loose life...in Jesus' Name...Thank You, LORD, that all the chemo therapy...all the treatment...all the medical team...all that has to do with Angela is in Your hands. We thank You, LORD, for Your results in all things concerning Angela. We thank You, LORD, that You have called Angela...Your plans for her are for good and not evil...to give her a future and a hope...We thank You, LORD, that Your Kingdom come and Your will be done supersedes all our plans...We thank You that You are good, LORD, all the time!!! in Jesus' Name, Amen and Amen. Glorryyy!!
DeleteIn agreement with you Aunt Teddi! "All things work for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose!" Romans 8:28 Father, we pray that you cover Angela and send your angels to minister to her every need. Fill her body with strength, hope, and faith that You are able to do all that we ask. "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." Ephesians 3:20 Love, Sarah
DeleteTesting, can't get my prayer request submitted, keeps coming back with nothing.
ReplyDeleteI will try again please pray for my good friend as her husband wants a divorce after 40 plus years. He has been verbally threatening and abusing. She wants only for God's will to be done.
ReplyDeleteFather we speak peace to this couple...in Jesus' Name. When people have been married this long, LORD, it means that they are past middle age and headed into the latter days of their lives. So many body changes...hormonal and other. We speak to this storm in their lives, and we say peace be still. We ask, LORD, that they seek good counsel...Holy counsel, LORD. We ask that You forgive them of all they've said and done to each other...even thoughts...that are not pleasing to You, LORD. I don't know any marriages where couples are perfect...not any wives...nor any husbands. I know that marriage is under attack...I know that divorce is one of the tentacles of the spirit of death...and, I know that it is God's major institution in the Church. The world would have us think things are changed in these days...that You have changed Your mind...that You no longer hate divorce. This is a lie of the evil one...and he is roaming as a lion destroying all that he can...devouring them. He comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Holy Spirit has come to bring life! Hover Holy Spirit...breathe life into this marriage, in Jesus' Name. It's not over until the LORD says it's over. Nothing is impossible with You, LORD!!! Not one thing!! in Jesus' Name,Amen and Amen.
DeleteIn agreement with you Aunt Teddi! In Jesus Name! Asking for and praying for life as Aunt Teddi mentioned in this marriage! Praying for a hedge of protection over them both and their marriage. Let the presence of the Holy Spirit do great and mighty things. In Jesus Name, Amen! Love, Sarah
DeleteFather, we lift this couple to you...knowing that in your power and strength you can save and renew this marriage. May you surround both of them with your spirit - and where there is hurt, bring healing; where there is strife, bring peace. Amen
ReplyDeleteDear God in heaven, we know you love marriage and we know you honor marriage in your love for us. I pray health and healing over this marriage and healing to this relationship and friendship. Dear God, reverse the damage that has been done, lift the cloud of damage away. Restore love and hope for this couple and their friendship. Give them a new, deep, unfailing love for each other. Heal the hurt, Holy Spirit. Help each mate to strive to be the kind of mate they want to have.
ReplyDeleteHold them in your care, even now, dear Lord, help them be known by You! In Jesus precious name, Amen.
In agreement with Melissa and Rebekah over this couple and their marriage. Let the Holy Spirit begin to move even now in their lives. Love, Sarah
ReplyDeletePraying that the sweet peace of Jesus is with each and every SHINE girl this weekend! May He watch over you, protect you, and bless you and your families. Love, Sarah
