Ranting, Raving and Renewing

Okay, I guess you figured I already blogged once today but I feel very led to ask for prayers for a precious friend of mine who is suffering from a very debilitating illness. One I am all too familiar with but that God released me from after 15 really hard years. I would never betray my friends confidence but feel that the more prayers that go up for "Bob" the better. (Great, creative code name I know) :) I believe and KNOW God isn't finished with my amazing friend although it feels like that to them right now. I am begging (although I know with all who read this, i won't need to beg) that you will take a moment to get on your knees, or even during your busy day, sitting in the car, walking to a meeting, walking to class, whatever and wherever it may be.....please take a moment to sincerely lift a servant of the Lord up to His throne. Ask for wisdom from doctors, which we haven't received for months, direction and willingness to do whatever is necessary to get better. I KNOW God is in the healing business first hand, but also knowing He doesn't always choose to do it the way He did with me, I believe he CAN use and sanctify the RIGHT medication, bring peace and restore happiness to His child!! This is a crucial time, so on our friends behalf, I employ you to LIFT THEM UP today in hopes they will feel God's presence in a way like never before and receive some hope. Thanks all!!!!!!! Remember, we serve a MIGHTY and AWESOME God who hears our prayers and answers according to HIS will...but He still asks us to obediently pray and intercede on the behalf of others, especially when they are unable to pray for themselves.
