As you probably have guessed by now if you read this post you know I believe in God and salvation through Jesus Christ. I also believe in prayer and believe that without prayer God’s purpose is hindered. 

I hope that this blog has attracted not only Christians but people of other faiths too. I have some wonderful friends who are muslims. On an airplane trip to NYC this summer I sat beside the sweetest muslim woman and I noticed she prayed with her hands cupped, palms up. I fell in love with that type of symbolic opening up to God.  

I would like to ask all the wonderful people who have taken their precious time to read my blog to post any prayer requests that you have in the comment section. 

Those who feel led by God to intercede for others I ask that you intercede. If you don’t pray or don’t feel led to pray please don’t. There is no pressure in this.

I will start with a prayer request hoping that all who believe in God take it to God no matter what kind of faith you believe in.

The prayer request is for my brother.

He is three years older than me and I love him deeply. He got in an accident a couple of weeks ago with his four-wheeler. He was thrown off and his 6th and 7th vertebrae were fractured. The 6th vertebrae fracture can result in death, the 7th vertebrae fracture can result in paralysis. God’s hand was on him  and he survived the crash with no paralysis and is living and breathing today. 

He had surgery in Lincoln, Nebraska and had a piece of his hip fused to his neck with a titanium plate. Yesterday he went back to the surgeon and we expected a good report. He wanted the NG tube removed so he could eat again. 

The good report didn’t come. Apparently something was wrong with the way his neck was healing. The surgeon wants to do another surgery. 

My brother has not slept well since this surgery, he has not eaten and is getting food through an NG tube and he is furious that he may have to have another surgery. 

Please pray that God’s peace will descend upon him that he can hear the surgeon today with a clear and calm mind. Also pray that God heals his neck, making surgery unnecessary. 

Please  put in the comments section your prayer requests and if you want them private please specify that wish. If you don’t mind if I share them with the community of readers state that you would prefer them to remain public. 

I know God answers prayer and I know personally that He loves each and every one of you. 

Be blessed!
