Please, Prayer Warriors!

 1/14/05

Please swell the ranks of those praying for others by adding/keeping these wonderful Children of God to your prayer lists and sharing this list with many others. Prayer is a mighty healer, for the power of prayer comes directly from God through our faith!

 

Add Shawn Watson to your worldwide Prayer Chains. Shawn is the nephew of Tim, a dear friend of mine. Tim just phoned and asked me to have Shawn added to prayer chains. Tim is 28 years old and has had a life-threatening thing happen (probably brought on by several injuries and the prescribed medicines and their side-effects) recently. He and his family need to be wrapped lovingly and safely in your prayers uplifted to God -- and we all know that prayer is STRONG!

 

I also ask that you continue to keep Laura Schneberger and her family in New Mexico, and Kit and Sherry Laney, also in New Mexico, in your prayers as they weather a storm of issues related to ranching and wolf 're'introduction. These are serious issues and need your prayers of intercession, please! Please hold Jesse Hardy and his adopted son, Tommy Hilton, close in your prayers and hold shields 'round their efforts to keep their Florida home and land from becoming part of The Wildlands Project.

 

Another request is for Gary's wife, Linda (in Ohio) to be helped/healed from her serious heart problems, and for their friend, Weston, to be healed from his own array of personal issues. Weston is nineteen years old and needs God so much, but Satan is doing a tug-o-war for him. Please pray that Weston is yanked from Satan's clutches -- there's so much good in this young man, as there is in Shawn Watson. Both young men need your prayers unceasing to help bolster them and light their way to God and His Guidance. It is sometimes very difficult for 'feet of clay' to trust our Heavenly Father.

 

I ask, too, that you keep in your prayers the countless folks harmed by the tsunami, the Florida hurricanes and the California mudslides. A tsunami of prayer can and will help those afflicted to heal!

 

I have not contacted all of you before on every prayer request, but some of you are aware of some of my requests for prayers:

 

for Theresa Marie (Terri) Schindler Schiavo, in Florida, who has been lit from within by God and has been kept strong and alive throughout many Direct Miracles during the almost fifteen years

 

for Nancy Gregg's husband Gregg (who was at Death's door a year ago and has made a miraculous recovery -- totally God-guided), in California;

 

for Marcia Stirman's friends in Texas;

 

for Barb Hall's husband, Red (Clarence) in Oregon, and all the Klamath Basin farmers/irrigators and their families;

 

for Peggy Speiger's husband, John Speiger, in Oregon (recovering from serious illness and back home as of last night, January 13th, praise God!);

 

for Kathy Gibson-Boatman's son, Dirk Boatman, in Arizona (who is recovering miraculously from life-threatening injuries);

 

for Howard and Marcia Gieger, in Oregon (both of whom are recovering from injuries/illness);

 

for my webmaster, Gerry Ullery, and his wife, Rachell, in New Mexico, after their terrible auto accident of April 2003, and a close call on a snow-slick road near home last year;

 

for Gerry's grandmother, Esther, in Ohio, who is recovering from surgery and needs more prayers as she recovers slowly (Esther is in her late nineties);

 

for dear friends Ray and Joyce Black, in Ohio, as they've had several health issues that were life-threatening (and have come through all of them all right, praise God!);

 

for my own father, Richard Smithson, who had a close call last month and was rescued from serious injury by my quick-acting mom, Kay, and four neighbors who look a lot like angels to me! Dad was doing what many dads do, trying to be self-sufficient and not ask for help, and a little chore quickly became something that only God's Mighty Hand prevented from being something so much worse.

 

for Tom Strider and Dave Russell's wives (both in Florida); for Jay Walley (New Mexico); and for all the other Children of God whose names escape me at the moment, but who are in need of prayer.

 

Thank you for your prayers and for the prayers of those on your prayer chains and those of others.

 

God is blessing us all mightily for our faith in Him through Prayer!
