Psalm 5:1-3 (NLT)
O Lord, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning.
Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you.
Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord.
Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.
It's "Prayerful Thursday".....again.....already!!!

21. Please read below an e-mail I received from a friend of a lady named Brenda:
"I have a very special prayer request.
Please take the time to read this. Allow me to give you the background information. When my granddaughter, Sara was 6 months old we learned she had a tumor in her kidney. The doctors had to remove one kidney because it was totally encased in the tumor which was the size of a grapefruit. She went through many weeks of Chemo treatments and seemed to be doing fine. Sara will be 4 years old in April. As a routine caution, the doctors have done an ultrasound and a chest x-ray every six months for the past 3 years. Today the ultrasound showed she has a mass in her other kidney. They don't know yet if they will try to treat it with Chemo or try to remove it.
Please keep her in your prayers.
As if that were not enough, my other granddaughter, Gabrielle (born December 12th) has problems with her kidneys as well. Her left kidney is enlarged and her right kidney has what they call Grade Three Reflux. Which if I understand it correctly means the kidney is draining urine into the bladder, but the bladder isn't working properly so the urine is backing up causing problems.
She's only 3 months old. That's a lot for a tiny body to endure. They haven't decided how to treat her as yet.
In addition to the girls having problems, my son, James has learned he has a growth in his sinus cavity. He has an appointment with the ENT doc next week. Please remember him as well.
As you all know, I lost my daughter 4 years ago. It's been a challenge trying to raise Jennifer's boys (at my age) and with no financial assistance. Now I am out of a job, so it's going to be a real challenge financially. Am I being selfish to ask how much more do I have to endure? Of course the children are more important than me, but I have always had to be strong for the entire family.
I know the Lord will provide, but sometimes, I just wonder how."

Please pray for all those who send me requests but ask that no names be mentioned. There are so many people suffering with health problems, work-place troubles, and job issues. Please keep all these in your thoughts and prayers. God knows each and every one of these "anonymous" people and what the need is!!!

22. Natalie Demarcus' MomThis is an e-mail that I received from Natalie giving an update on her Mom:
"Mom went today for the result of her last scan. The doctor is very pleased, and said that she is doing better than 90 % of other lung cancer patients. She took a rull round of Taxol (the type of chemo that she was on) and they kept her at the full dossage amount. Now that is over, and they want her to rest 6 weeks - with no chemo. And then they will do another scan.
Today, they told her that the cancer is completely gone in the left lung, and the right lung is still showing shrinkage!! They said she is doing wonderful, and the doctors said this is phonominal.
Thank you for all the people who have continually asked and prayed for my mom. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers! Your cards, calls, and visits have meant Soooo much to my family! Thank you all!!!"
