Prayer for Friends

Seems there's much going on in the lives of special people in my life. I sometimes find it to be too much, but I realize that it is a season of life and one when I must look to God even more.

I ask you to lift up my friends, Heather and Melissa, back in Mississippi. These young ladies and my sister and I grew up together. Their mother passed away almost 3years ago from a very terrible illness. Now, their dad is sick with liver cancer. Please pray for Benny's healing and that He will trust in Jesus! His mother is very sick in the hospital and the other grandmother has some health concerns. I find it all so unfair with what they are facing, but trying to trust in God through all of this.

A couple of friends are dealing with relationship issues. God knows who these are so pray for healing and complete trust and reliance on Him!

My heart breaks for my friends right now...

God continues to remind me of His promises. Just yesterday, someone shared this verse with me: "And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

Just tonight, I was reminded of these promises: "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33
"Look at the lilies of the field...if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, He will certainly care for you. Seek the kingdom of God above all else and He will give you everything you need." Luke 12:27-28,31

May we trust Him at all times!!!
