AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.

Prayer Requests:
11/19 – P requests prayers for her friend K, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The doctors have also mentioned cysts on her pancreas and lesions on her liver. She will be having surgery on 11/28. She has a husband, 4 sons, and a large local youth group all depending on her.
11/29 Update – Thank God, the ovarian cyst was not cancer! The ovarian removals took more extensive surgery than was expected, so K will have a longer recovery period.

11/30 – Prayers are requested for DM. He is suicidal, facing a medical procedure that is worrying him. Please pray for the Lord to heal his mind and ease his worries, and to bring him through his current health crisis.

12/3 – Village Idiot’s Apprentice could use prayer. The good news is, his eye surgery is healing normally, and should continue to improve over the next weeks and months. The not-so-good news is that he has had an abnormal rise in PSA, which shows a probably recurrence of prostate cancer, after his surgery 13 years ago. He will have a PSMA PET scan soon at Walter Reed.

12/3 – Backtoga sends thanks to God, that his father has a better-than-expected path for treatment of his cancer.
Update – The prognosis is that the oral medications will shrink the cancer. As the doctor put it, it will not be the thyroid cancer that kills him!

12/4 – CT asked for prayers, that the Horde would be there for him. He found his older brother, Joel, dead in his bed. The EMTs worked on him for 10 minutes and took him to the hospital, but he never recovered. Joel was CT’s best friend and a wonderful brother – self-sacrificing and supportive. So many people depended on him, and now he’s gone. CT is hurting so much.

12/6 – Madamemayhem asked for prayers for her neighbor’s son, K, who works with horses. He was backing a horse up, when it reared up and fell on top of him. K is in ICU with his back broken in 3 places and bone chips in his muscles. Prayers for recovery are appreciated.

She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update.

Romans 8:26-27
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
