Please pray for a man at my church-Bill Trefts. He was diagnosed with lymphoma several months ago, and has been trying to stop the cancer through a natural method. In the past week he has been in a lot of pain and now his eye is starting to be effected. Please pray for healing from the cancer, and for his wife and two kids.
Thanks for your prayers.

My Grace is Sufficient
Please keep Adam and Samantha in your prayers as they just found out that their little one is with Jesus. Both my Mom (Kathy @ Regan Family Farm) and Samantha (@ Our Journey) had due dates within days of each other...now the babies are together in Heaven, dancing at Jesus feet.
- Pray that both deliveries would be safe and quick
- Pray that both families will praise the Lord for each GIFT and BLESSING
- Pray that through this trial, GOD will be GLORIFIED.
Kalei - Urgent Request
I have a very urgent prayer request. A little 5 year old girl at my church is in very serious condition in ICU. She\'s got a rare strain of E.Coli that is destroying her kidneys. Please pray and ask others to pray if you see this! Her name is Kalei. Thanks so much!

Wrong Decisions
I would like to request prayer for two of my cousins, Andrew R., and Jennifer L.
They are both making some awful, sinful relationship decisions that could lead to major consequences, spiritually, physically, and emotionally, both for them and for many many others. Please pray for wisdom from the Lord for those who are trying to advise them to do what is right. Please pray that the Lord would strongly convict them about the horrible-ness (if that\'s a word!) of what they plan to do. They both claim to be saved. Pray that the Lord would prevent them from going ahead with this.
Thank you for your prayers
SOLI DEO GLORIA!

Peace
Please pray for Alan, a boy at my church. His parents argue a lot, and he has tons of bitterness and anger in his heart. Please pray that his parents would resolve their problems, and that he would be able to forgive them.
Thank you,

Please keep Jay and Ellen I. in your prayers. They have been trying to get pregnant for a while, and have had two or three miscarriages. Finally, they were able to conceive and the baby was due next month...but died this last Tuesday. I haven't seen the couple since the miscarriage, but I can imagine that they are heartbroken. Please pray for healing...and that the LORD would bless them with another baby.
Thanks!

Great Ministry Opportunity!
Dear Friends and Family in Christ, Our mom has been having vestibular and health issues since
the beginning of last September.
On the days of August 1-5, she will be at Mayo Clinic in Rochester,
Minnesota, where hopefully we’ll get some answers.
We’ll be staying with our grandparents for the week,
so we won’t be able to help keep her spirits up
and support her as she goes through this.
To remedy us not being there, my grandma had this great idea.
We would like our mom to have encouragement and support cards
to open when she is at Mayo Clinic.
You can send cards via regular mail or a note via email.
Please send cards or notes between now and Monday, July 25.
Send cards to:
Laura Lee
c/o Lofquist
6035 Duluth Lane
Golden Valley, MN 55422
Send email notes to our grandparents and they will print them out.
Marv & Elaine Lofquist
em.lofquist@comcast.net
Let our mom know that she’s loved and being prayed for.
These times have been very tough for her and our family. By August, we’ll
have a collection or cards and notes that our dad can
give to her during the trying days at Mayo.
Thank you, and God bless you all,
~ The Lee Kids

Update on Matthew...Continue Praying!
Hello again,
Alittle while ago, I sent in a prayer request for my brother Matthew, who was struggling with my Grandpa's recent passing. Things have gone from bad to worse in my brother's life. He has always been a very stubborn, headstrong, rebellious child. He cannot get a grip on his temper and it is influencing the rest of our family. Little ones are looking to him as an example for how to react when things go wrong (yelling, hitting, storming around). My parents have tried for years to help him with his temper, to no avail. Satan has such a grip on my brother and recent circumstances (my grandpa's death being just one of them) have made everything so much worse. I love my brother so much and this hurts to see him struggle against himself...especially since he views US as the "villains", and himself the "martyr". Please keep praying for him, and that my parents will have wisdom in how to deal with him. Our life is insecure for all of us right now, with money being very tight and my youngest brother having a terminal illness...and instead of drawing TO the LORD, Matthew is running.
In Christ,
~Hannah Grace

Praise the Lord!
I would like to praise the Lord for what He has been doing in my life recently!
The Lord recently allowed me to be able to take my first mission trip. I went with a team from my church, and the blessings were beyond description. The Lord worked in my own heart on some issues of attitude and judgementalism (if that's a word ;) ), surrendering less-than-perfectly-handled situations to Him, and trust. We on the team were able to bless and encourage the believers we met there, hopefully we influenced others to open their hearts to the Lord, and for our own part, we received tremendous blessings ourselves!
The Lord has also used a situation in my life (and the life of someone else) to teach me, encourage me, and grow me more in my reliance on, and submission to, His perfect Will and timing.
My Sunday School teacher and his wife have been married for 9 years. Though they wanted children desperately, the Lord had withheld that blessing from them. They have had two miscarriages, which were extremely hard.
My family has known them now for two years - since we came to this church. For about the last year and a half of that time, I have been heavily burdened with a desire to see the Lord to bless them with children. It probably sounds rather strange, but I do not believe I have ever wanted anything so badly in my life - I know I have never desired anything for myself so strongly.
This dear Godly couple has been such a blessing in my life, and I desperately prayed for God to give them this gift that they so desire. Does the Lord not tell us to ask for His good gifts?! Does His Word not tell us that children are one of His most special blessings?! Why would He withhold it?
The Lord has used this situation to test and grow my patience. To enforce the lesson that HIS Will is indeed perfect. That, though He understands our confusion, hurt, and questioning, we still have no right to accuse Him for what we think isn't "fair". He ALWAYS has a reason for doing or not doing what He does - even if He never tells us what it is.
Earlier this year, I started praying that the Lord would allow them to be expecting a child by the lady’s birthday, which was May 1st. Long story short(er), that day came, and went - nothing. I felt like the ground had been cut away beneath my feet – all the hope I had been standing on vanished in a moment, and I was plunging downward. The Lord led me through a deeply difficult, but thorough and honest, self-evaluation. He had not answered like I had hoped and expected – what was I going to do with the situation? It was an almost physical pain I felt for these dear people and their sweet patience, sad hope, and empty arms. But I could trust Him - keep hoping in spite of hopelessness, and remain persistent and unshaken in my prayers - or let my faith be shattered, which was not an option. He used this time of dark, intense disappointment, this journey through a dim, hazy, personal tunnel, to test my own trust in Him – my Faith in His all-wise Goodness. And though the tunnel was still dim and sorrowful, His hand was there all the time, and His arms around me only tightened the more I cried to Him. I believe He made me stronger in Him through this ‘crisis’, than I could have become, possibly any other way. He took probably the strongest, dearest desire of my heart, and asked me to give it to Him, not looking to get it back. He gave me the courage to let it go. When I did, the pain was tremendous, but the trust was complete. It was all His now.
The evening we got back from the mission trip, my Mom told me and my sister (who had also gone on the mission trip) that Sunday while we were gone, it had been announced that this dear couple was expecting a baby, due December 10. They had wanted to wait until the time passed that their previous miscarriages had happened, to announce it. But they would have known by her birthday – May 1st. In a moment, the Lord had uncovered the end of the tunnel, and I was blinded by the brightness of the dazzling light I stood in. I was blown away.
So many more little details that, for sake of not being any more long winded, I will not relate here. But so many ways that the Lord did exceeding above all I asked or thought, and for the past couple of weeks, I have been continually overwhelmed by the Kindness and Graciousness of the Lord!
I apologize for taking up so much time. But I wanted to relate this story to hopefully encourage anyone who has been in a similar situation, and to ‘declare His works with rejoicing’. Perhaps it sounds strange, to be in so much anguish for someone else. But all I know is that, the Lord worked in great ways in my life through this situation, and I can only imagine what He has done in the hearts and lives of this dear couple themselves.
The Lord will not always give us what we ask for, but our business is just to ask, seek, knock, and trust Him with the rest.
All the glory is His.
“Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with rejoicing.” Ps. 107:21
~Kyrie
Editor note: Please pray that this woman would be blessed with a wonderful pregnancy and healthy birth and baby! Praise God!
