When Earl married me, he adopted our daughter, Kari; and his
father adopted me. We are family. This is a prime example of God’s family: If
you belong to Jesus, and I belong to Jesus, you are my brother or sister. And
family, I need you to pray.
I know you already pray for Earl and me, but I’m asking you
today to pray specifically for our health. Most of you are aware of my pressure
sore and the long battle we’ve been fighting to get it healed. During this
battle, I have become physically weak, spiritually dry, and emotionally lonely.
I miss being with my small groups (United Methodist Women,
Crosstalk Sunday school class, W.I.S.E. –Women’s Inspirational Study
Experience—etc.) in fellowship and in ministry. Ministry that I believe God
called me to. Likewise, this situation is affecting Earl.
I need healing prayer for my mind, body, soul and spirit. I’ve
gone through deep valleys of depression, anger, and self-pity and I don’t want
to go back there again. Sing God’s praise and pray for His strength to carry Earl
and me through this trial that we may able to minister in His name.
"Bear one
another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2 ESV).
“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree
about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven” (Matthew
18:19 NIV).
Will you pray with me now? Father, we thank you for the
gifts of family, fellowship, and Christian community where we can reach out in
troubled times. Help us to live in Your love and grace; gifts we cannot earn because
You give them freely. Thank You for the Blood that washes us white as snow and
the salvation it represents. Send Your Holy Spirit to heal Your people. In Jesus name, Amen
In Christian Love,
Berta
