Prayer Requests

There are several people in my life who are going through, or about to go through, some tough times and I know they can use all the support possible. (Names have been left out for their privacy.)

-Someone I know is about to head over seas to Iraq for 15 months. He is enlisted Army. May God keep him safe and bring him home to his family soon.

-Someone I know's daughter has just been diagnosed with leukemia. She is only about 4 years old. She is currently in the hospital. Please keep that little girl and her family in your thoughts and prayers, they all need as much strength as possible to get through this.

-Someone else I know will be heading over seas to Iraq (Baghdad) for 4-6 months. I cannot thank these men and women enough for their courage, and I thank their familes for supporting them and helping them be the people they are. May God keep him safe and bring him home to his family soon.

-Someone I know has recently been told she has an unexplained mass in her thyroid. She has a needle biopsy scheduled in May to determine if it is malignant. I will be hoping and praying every day that it is nothing serious. Please keep her in your thoughts.

Thank you for your time. I am a strong believer in the power of prayer. Sometimes you feel so out of control and helpless when things are happening to those you love, but remember, you always have prayer.

I am just SO sad about little F, I can't imagine what her family is going through. I was so shocked to hear that and I have been so worried for all of them.
I know it means a lot to all these people that you are praying for and thinking about them. We will be praying with you!
