"Answer me when I call to you, O God who declares me innocent. Free me from my troubles. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer." Psalm 4:1 NLT
"Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart." Colossians 4:2 NLT
First, I would like to share a PRAISE:
~My great nephew, Amden is once again amazing the doctors and everyone else who sees him. He is "sitting up" and we praise GOD for his progress. At seven months, his Heavenly Father is already using him in glorious ways. Don't you just love it when GOD shows us "nothing is impossible with HIM?"
Prayer Requests and Thoughts from my heart:
~Please continue to remember my brother in law, David. He endured three days of Chemo last week and is doing quite well. He had some nausea and fatigue, but was "caught" mowing his yard on the day after his 3rd Chemo treatment. We are thankful he felt well enough, but a little cranky with him for not allowing someone else to do it for him. It is still "pretty hot" in Pensacola, Florida....where he lives.
~Unspoken concerns: I can not tell you how many of my friends are in the midst of tremendous battles, right now. Not one battle, not two, but numerous battles in "each" of their lives. Each of these friends have grown stronger in their faith through this time and I praise GOD for how He is working in each of their lives. I am asking for as many of you as can and are willing to commit to pray for these people. I know you don't know them and I am not giving you many details, but trust me....they need an army to storm the heavens on their behalf and I knew just where to find that army. GOD will reign victorious. HE is faithful! I thank each of you ahead of time for your willingness to "storm the heavens" with me and I praise GOD for each of you!
By HIS mercy and in the grip of HIS grace,
Andrea
Praise God for the wonderful update on Amden. My prayers remain with David, and the many unspoken sis.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful news on Amden. I will keep everyone in my prayers.

What's impossible to us is not with our good God! Glory be to God! May Amden continue to battle the odds!
ReplyDeletePraying and agreeing with you sis. Praying all is well with you. Take care and God bless.
I am so glad to hear about Amden, I am going to grab his new picture for my blog!

Thank You all for your prayers. I hope to have pictures of Amden sitting up soon. He is so beautiful!!! David is doing well and we are hopeful the chemo will continue to work for him. You are all very special to take time to think of us. You are all amazing!! Thank You So Much!!
ReplyDeleteSomeone I dearly love said at my son memorial service. "That you either get better or bitter" Though the hardest time of my life I am slowly getting better with God's help.
ReplyDeleteHi, I tried to grab Amden's button and the picture keeps on coming up as a baby. So I found the one on your post and that button came up the same. The picture still shows as a baby..Can you try it? Maybe it's just me! Thanks Andrea.

Not necessary that we know them but we definitely know that God is able to bring them through every battle
ReplyDeleteI am learning..Seems like a new battle comes my way frequently. You are all sunshine and I am leraning that I do not have to do this all alone. I am very stubborn to a fault. Hey...I have been walking around on a fractured BIG toe for a month!! I climbed to the top of the Pensacola Light House!!
ReplyDeleteI am tough! Anybody believe me yet?
Honey so sorry I am slow coming by to check on you and say hello.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing about precious Amden!
Prayers are so powerful and I so appreciate you for all the prayers you have lifted to our Heavenly Father for me.
I think of you often and wonder how your doing.
As always I feel better after reading your wonderful site
Love ya
Maggie

ReplyDeleteGod is so good! I love to hear how well Amden is doing. He's going to continue to wow everyone! What a blessing he is!
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear that your brother in law is doing well.
I'm praying for each and every situation...including my own.
Thank you prayer warriors.
Andrea, thank you for sharing your prayer and praise concerns. Lifting and praising along with you. Blessings and hugs to you and your family.
ReplyDeletePraying!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing update on Amden, so glad to hear it.
ReplyDeleteYes, we can pray, all of us joining together, for these many requests. God knows the details and we can trust He hears all of our prayers and will answer!
Hey Andrea!
ReplyDeleteRejoicing over the praise report for Amden and so encouraged that David is doing better as well, PTL!
I will certainly be lifting the special "unspoken ones" before the Throne of Grace.....and standing with those special one's for deliverance, healing, breakthrough and restoration in the Mighty Name of Jesus!........HE IS FAITHFUL!!
Also, Andrea, my current post "Mighty Army! Warrior Bride! is about taking a stand as a warrior in the Army of God and fighting in the Spirit for what we believe like never before! The accompanying video is the declaration of a warrior in the Body of Christ and a must see (very anointed and powerful). I humbly suggest that you check it out!.....It really encouraged me and I know it will encourage you as well! TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!!
Love and Sweet Blessings to you, dear friend!
Jackie

Dear Andrea, I am glad that all is well. Coincidentally, I was thinking of David and was about to ask of his condition ... and here was your post. I am back blogging again, missed you all. Will see you around! Blessings
ReplyDeleteWhat a powerful weapon is prayer! It's taken me years to get just a small snippet of that fact. Not only does it change things, but me too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the call ...
Kathleen
Praising God with you for the praise report!
ReplyDeletePraying with you and for you and all others standing in need.
GOD is so faithful and hears the prayers of His people.
Blessings and hugs!
Andrea:
ReplyDeleteAlso praising God for your praise note.
Prayers for David. Sometimes we feel better than we actually are.
Praying with you on these unspokens. I have friends who are going through trials, as well. I understand your concern.
So happy about Amden! My prayers for David and family. Happy to join you in prayers for your friends and will add all to my daily prayer list. Asking prayers for my colleague, T. Will need all the prayers possible. And a big hug to you, my friend!
ReplyDeleteSorry. I just made it over here. After reading Sitka's note, I had planned to come right on over, but I had to run off to Korea first. Back now. Will ask my prayer group to join me in praying for all those in need in your life.
ReplyDeletePraise God for the good news! I had to laugh at your David out mowing the lawn right after chemo, he sounds like a man who has enough determination and will to fight a ferocious battle with cancer, and win~
ReplyDeleteI find myself praying as I drive for many of those in need of prayer in blog-land. I am also the beneficiary of the many prayers on my behalf from blogging friends and bloggers I don't know at all, and I praise God for you all. Prayer works, God is good!
Glory to God for Amden's progress and your bil's strength. I think he needs to feel useful, even if it wears him out.
ReplyDeleteI will pray for your friends.
Love
Jen
Praise God for what He is doin' in little Amden's life. I'm just thrilled.
ReplyDeleteI'm continuing to pray for the needed mentioned above, Our God is a miracle makin' God and we'll just agree and stand upon that rock.
You have a gloriously blessed day. :o)
Praying, praying and praying...
ReplyDeleteSuch great news...Glad I stopped by to catch up
ReplyDeleteHey Andrea.....
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to let you know that you were on my mind and praying for you!!
HE IS FAITHFUL!!
Love!
Jackie
Giving God praise and also joining you in prayer..I find such comfort in the knowledge that our Father surrounds each of us with one another so we can join hearts and spirits in prayer before His heavenly throne.
