Cover the doctors and nurses surrrounding their father with wisdom and guidance. Speak to them so they will know without a doubt what to do. Enlighten them. I pray for a TURN-AROUND to happen today. All of us are patiently waiting to rejoice in the glory you will bring out of this situation. We whole-heartily and faithfully believe You are the one and only, the most powerful God Almighty.<BR/>We love you. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.<BR/><BR/>Lori - Mesa, AZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646396.post-12847649317486526392009-03-13T13:44:00.000-04:002009-03-13T13:44:00.000-04:00Yes, Joy, Sita is right... there will be a day whe...Yes, Joy, Sita is right... there will be a day when your life and testimony of this time will bless another...<BR/><BR/>One thing I know.... wrestling matches with God leave you coming out stronger in what you know and believe... on the other side. God overcomes us and our weaknesses in the midst of those wrestling matches... like He did Jacob... and we are changed.<BR/>Remember Jacob's name was changed... <BR/><BR/>You will be changed.....even from this...you will know Him even more deeply than you did before.<BR/><BR/>It's OK to question... to cry out, to struggle.. because in my opinion, the struggles take us to those deep, deep places of resting in Him alone.<BR/>It makes me think of a post I wrote a while back about my toddler struggling in my arms until He rested. That's where I see you. You are still in His arms even in the midst of the struggle. You will rest... He will make sure of it... Your faith is strong because it is the faith of Christ in you. Your faith will overcome the struggles of your flesh.<BR/><BR/>Praying for you, friend....Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553121852669901186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646396.post-50367226097892009892009-03-13T13:33:00.000-04:002009-03-13T13:33:00.000-04:00Hi bloggy friend,I saw your comment on Lysa'a blog...Hi bloggy friend,<BR/><BR/>I saw your comment on Lysa'a blog and wanted to pray for you today...<BR/><BR/>Heavenly Father, King of kings and Lord of lords rush your ministering angels to Joy's side even as I write. Lord, fill her with Your Presence, wash Your Peace and Hope over her from the top of her head to the tips of her toes. Satan, in the name of Jesus Christ leave her home, leave her presence. She is a child of God, bought with the blood of Jesus. You have ABSOLUTELY no place in her life and in her family. You must flee in the name of Jesus.<BR/>Lord, bring the fullness of Your everlasting joy to her heart. Remind her she has the mind of Christ and protect her from the flaming darts of the evil one. Make Yourself so real to her the next few days. May she physically sense you in such a way that she will KNOW that it is You. Be at work all around her. Be her strength and her encouragement. Give her sweet rest. Thank You, Father, that You never leave her or forsake her. Love her, surround her this day. We ask this in the powerful name of Your Son, Jesus. AMEN.<BR/><BR/>Praying for you,<BR/><BR/>Wendy BlightWendy Blighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12955111335145551549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646396.post-27504380362257864522009-03-13T13:22:00.000-04:002009-03-13T13:22:00.000-04:00Joy, I'm not certain how I missed you but I have f...Joy, I'm not certain how I missed you but I have found you via Elaine at Peace for the Journey and so glad that I did.

They are faithful prayer warriors. We spent deep time in prayer for your father, you, your family, for the doctors and nurses... Know that you are being covered by prayer from here in Wisconsin.<BR/>I love you so much and am continuing to pray. Maybe it is my time to try to encourage you the way you have through my whole journey!<BR/>I love you, but never more than God can... and He is holding you through this even when you don't feel His hands or arms.<BR/>HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646396.post-33284078137591979712009-03-13T10:31:00.000-04:002009-03-13T10:31:00.000-04:00Love you friend. continuing to lift your family b...Love you friend. continuing to lift your family before the Throne of Grace many times each day.

I know this must be a rough road to walk. I thought of you early this morning before I got out of bed and prayed for you. A picture of you totally wrapped in a soft, thick, velvety white blanket.....only the tip of your head was showing....cradled in the arms of Jesus suddenly appeared in my mind. And I smiled. I knew somehow you had had a breakthrough and were perhaps feeling a little bit of relief.<BR/><BR/>Still praying,<BR/>MarilynMarilyn in Mississippihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808156475777748077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646396.post-63917877250541639962009-03-13T10:09:00.000-04:002009-03-13T10:09:00.000-04:003:48 minutes into the video I just posted at my bl...3:48 minutes into the video I just posted at my blog, you are there friend, before our Father's face.<BR/><BR/>He sees you.
