Prayer Warriors,
There is a family in our church that have 5 kids, and he just lost his job. Also, please pray for this dear family. Our brother in Christ just lost his wife due to influenza. The death of his wife has been really hard on him. Also, pray for their four children. They are all under the age of 10. Thanks so much! God Bless!

Hello Brothers and Sisters,
Today I received a request from a friend who is pretty near to me:

Please be in prayer with us for Ste****. His heart is beating irregularly: skipping every 4th beat or so. Please pray that the doctor can determine the cause particularly since the symptoms intermittently disappear.

Please pray that God would give him Grace to Help in Times of Need, Thank you for your prayers for our requests we've posted to date.

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I would like to lift up our dear blog team member - Ceira who broke her ankle (her tibia)! Please pray for complete healing, patience, and trust in Christ's unfailing love during the next couple of weeks. "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

We love you Ceira!

Jessie, for the team

Brethren,
I have recieved joyous news about Chris K. from the earlier post.
He is healed and he thanks all of the faithful brothers and sisters in Christ who prayed for him all across this land.
He truly believes that this recovery is due to the hundreds if not thousands of prayers lifted up to our Lord, so do we here at Before the Throne of Grace.
So, brethren, I thank you on behalf of Chris K. and on behalf of the prayer team for lifting this man up in prayer to our King, and pray that we will continue in our ministry to the sick and those who need prayer.

Thanking the Lord for this miraculous recovery,
Petros

Alyssa has been having ongoing health issues, causing her pain. So far doctors have not been able to find the reason. I know this can be very trying, so please pray that the cause will become apparent, and that the loving Physician will ease her pain, and heal this dear girl.

In Him,
Ceira

Dear brothers and sisters,

Please pray for me.

All day I have been suffering from hypothermia. My temperature goes from 95.1 to 93.5.

In a few rare cases, an MS lesion can block a particular nerve and cause this untreatable condition that can lead to a coma or even death.

Or it could be a sinus infection interfering with the MS and causing this reaction. I am taking antibiotics starting today.

Over the last few weeks, I have been having some symptoms. I took my temp. and because it was so low, I just thought the thermometer was broken. Two weeks ago, I went to a general practitioner doctor and after they took my temp. twice, they thought 2 thermometers were broken! The Dr. saw some redness in my right ear and gave me a prescription for antibiotics (just in case) there was an ear infection. I did not take it at the time, thinking I did not have an infection. However, lately I have had some pain in my face- in my sinus area- and my ears still seem a little blocked. Especially since this onslaught of continuous lower temperature I am taking the antibiotics today.

I am crying out to God for His mercy and healing. I know if He but "says the word" I will be healed. I am also asking for wisdom on how I should cope with this and what treatment I should pursue. I am particularly thinking about calling an ambulance soon.

Please pray to our Father and ask Him to heal me and show me mercy. I know the scripture says, "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." So I am asking you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me now.

God bless you all! "He Gives and Takes Away. Blessed be the name of our Lord!"

Sincerely,

Chris K


Please pray so very fervently for this man. Pray the Lord would be merciful to him, and relieve him of his trials.

In Jesus,
Rach

Brothers and Sisters,

Tonight I would like to lift up some important people, though not by name. There are a few couples that have asked for prayer regarding adoption. Many of these couples are going through the "consideration period." Let us pray that the Lord will guide them to a decision that honors Him, and that they will be at peace with whatever that decision may be.

Other couples are in the "house visit period." Now, as you can imagine this time can be very stressful and nerve-racking. We should pray that the Lord would bless their efforts, and that He would remove all stress from this process.

Adoption is a wonderful way for Christian couples and families to reach out to the orphan. Not only providing food and shelter, but also God's love.

The Lord bless these couples and families.

In Jesus,
Rach

The North Dakota House of Representatives has passed HB 1572, which defines "person" to be any organism with the human genome. This bill has wonderful pro-life implications, so please rejoice in the Lord with me for this great victory. However, the battle isn't completely won: Please pray that the Senate would also pass this bill, that the Governor will sign, and especially that it would not get thrown out in court.
Nathan H.


Praise the Lord for those willing to give up their time and money for the unborn!
We will be praying for this bill and we ask all readers to do the same.

In our gracious Lord Jesus Christ,
Petros

Romans 12:12 ~ Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

When you truly love someone, you want to build a deeper relationship with that person. Long walks and talks sound appealing and things like baking cookies help us bond stronger with that loved one. The point of prayer is to build a deeper relationship with Christ. Even though the Lord knows everything before we kneel as His Throne of Grace, prayer is a way to acknowledge our need of dependence on Him. God is sovereign no matter the situation, time, or place and through His Will, He answers our prayers. Not always the way we think is good or right but in a way that will bring us closer to Him. It also shows a reminder that it would be a disaster if we always did get what we asked for! His wisdom and perspective is far greater than ours we can take hope "for all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His Purpose." (Romans 8:28)

I encourage you to rest in His Salvation and Grace! He is our strong tower and fortress in the day of trouble. Our Hope and Trust stands in His Unfailing Love. His works are wondrous and seeing them should cause us to want to fall on our knees and praise Him for His Goodness. He is sufficient for us and our strength. May this remind us of our hard hearts and our need for a Savior alone to the road of redemption.

We serve the Creator of the Universe! Come, let us praise His Name together...

Praising the Lord that loved me, a sinner needing His Grace alone for forgiveness,
Jessie
