A thought for the day:
When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not shouting, "I've been saved!"
I'm whispering, "I get lost! That's why I chose this way"
When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't speak with human pride
I'm confessing that I stumble-needing God to be my guide
When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not trying to be strong
I'm professing that I'm weak and pray for strength to carry on
When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not bragging of success
I'm admitting that I've failed and cannot ever pay the debt
When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't think I know it all
I submit to my confusion asking humbly to be taught
When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far too visible but God believes I'm worth it
When I say, "I am a Christian," I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartache which is why I seek His name
When I say, "I am a Christian," I do not wish to judge
I have no authority--I only know I'm loved

This morning, the Lord saw fit to bring little Eli to Himself. Please pray for the family of Eli... His lungs could not support him and he is now home with the Lord. Please pray that Eli's family will be comforted at this time of loss, in hope that one day they will see him again.
The Lord is very good, even when we do not understand.......

Brothers and Sister in our Savior,
A dear friend of mine has asked that I request prayer and although I will keep the name anonymous, she has been on my heart a lot and I've been praying! I know you all will do the same. This beloved sister in Jesus desires to serve her Savior with all that is within her and although tough trials have hit their family, she continues to hold fast to Jesus. As the oldest of soon to be 10 children, her responsibilities are many and living in a small mountain town has taken it's toll on all of them. Please pray that the Lord would provide for their family, give them direction and peace -- knowing that Christ knows their every need. I can personally thank you for your prayers and I know this beloved sister appreciates it very much!
We serve a wonderful God!
Jessie

May 27 -- Update: Thanks to the blessing of God, and His working through the thousands of people who supported us, we have met our June 3 goal of $51,644 a week early! Honestly, we never expected to receive this much response, and are in awe of the Lord's mercy and power! We are still waiting for negotiation on the $650,000 hospital to be completed, and are working on the "small" miscellaneous bill, which total over $15,000. We appreciate your continued prayer and support, and will keep everyone updated as we hear back from the hospital and other doctors.Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in thechurch by Christ Jesus throughout all ages world without end. Amen! Ephesians 3:20-21
This prayer request for Little Tait urges a request for prayer! Prayer for perseverance, faith, and trust in days of trial. Please lift up this precious little boy to the throne of grace along with our team! To find out more about this young man's story, additional needs and picture sideshows - please see Little Tait's Website.
My name is Tait Zimmerman Jr. and I am a little baby boy who, without the help of modern medicine, dedicated care and God's hand, would not be alive today! I was born 3 months before I should have been and am miraculously doing well today. I spent the first three months of my life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, cared for by some terrific doctors and nurses! Now my mommy and daddy have to get creative to pay the hospital, doctors and the whole team who took care of me. We are currently attempting to raise $51,644 by June 3rd. If we do not raise that amount by the 4th, then our bill will be turned over to collections, and will skyrocket to the original total of $186,769. With God's blessing, work on our part, and the help of the body of Christ, it can be done! WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
Great news! After a very long day, Jo**** is finally home with his daddy.....God is an amazing and faithful God. Please continue to pray as Ja*** does all he can to KEEP Jo*** safe.Psalms 55:22 ~ Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved
Mrs. Amy McPhearson was my momma's best friend while growing up. They have maintained a close relationship still.
Ten years ago Mrs. McPhearson underwent surgery to try and rid her brain of cancer, and it didn't appear for that whole time. Within the past week she had been having a very hard time remembering things, and we now know that the cancer is back for certain, and according to the doctors she has very little time left.
We serve a God who doesn't follow medical rules; He is sovereign and all powerful! How we would rejoice if He healed her! However, if His will is to take Miss Amy home to Him (yes, rejoice! she is a Christian!) then who are we to ask otherwise?
She is married and has a young daughter. Please pray that the Lord would comfort them and her mother and father, and bring them closer to Him!
Also, please pray for her father who is having a hard time coming to grips with his daughter's situation. He seems to be trying to block it out from his head by keeping himself very busy, and has yet to visit her in the hospital.
Pray that Miss Amy won't be in pain, that she would rest in her Savior, and that the Lord's will would be done.
Glory be His,
Rach
Please pray for the safety of my grandson Jo*. His mother, who is a meth addict, has taken him this morning. When he didn’t show up for school today, the school called my son Ja*. Ja* went to Jo's* mother's (T*) apartment and it was empty. After talking to a few of her “friends”, as well as her ex-husband, Ja* found out that she had failed a “UA” for methamphetamines with her probation officer, who decided to give her another chance. Ja* and his wife H* are out looking for T* and Jo* now at some motels where the addicts hang out. Obviously this is not a safe place to be so please pray for their safety as well. The police won’t get involved at this point because T* is Jo’s* mother so we’re not sure what else to do. Please pray for wisdom. But most of all, pray that Jo* will be found safe and unharmed quickly! Also, T* is a lost soul who needs Jesus. Pray that this will bring her to the point of seeking and finding our Savior!
As she has said, everyone needs prayer: Safety of Jo*, the salvation and safety of his mother T*, and the safety of Ja* and his wife H* while they are searching. May we also lift up all those who are likewise addicted to such terrible things, our God is great!
Glory to God,
Jono
