Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

The first Saturday after Independence Day. Hope you have all of your digits to type away your comments in this open thread.

Remember to be nice to one another. And if you must run with sharp objects say your prayers.

And if you pull some 'ettes hair, say your prayers as well.

Have a fun weekend.

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:

6/8 – Sharkman posted about a girl who could use prayers. She is 7 years old, and just had her third open heart surgery and a pacemaker put in, because she was born with her heart reversed in her chest. Additional surgeries will be coming in her future.

6/8 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers as she considers running for a spot on their local township committee. She is a complete neophyte in running for office, so she said she needs all the prayer support she can get!

6/10 – Jewells asked for prayers to continue for her niece, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer, plus they found 3 cancerous nodes in her lungs. Jewells herself is still going through radiation and it’s “kicking her butt”. Then she will have more chemo.
6/17 Update - Jewells’ niece had her port put in last Thursday and began chemo and radiation on Tuesday. Jewells said how scared her niece is.
6/24 Update – Jewell’s niece is not handling the chemo well. She has been very sick since last Tuesday. Jewells was also sick most of last week, after radiation and chemo.

6/10 - Farmer Bob posted to the comments. He sends his thanks to the Horde for their prayers and says he’s still working to become the fit, fun, romantic and playful husband worth having that Mrs. Bob deserves. He has lost a lot of weight and still has more to go. So far she has agreed to a weekly “couple talk time” which will consist of prayer, a devotional reading, and light/positive conversation. Continued prayers for him and his wife are appreciated.
6/24 – Farmer Bob and Mrs. Bob had their first couple “talk time” (virtual) on Wednesday and it went very well. He asked that we keep praying for them. On the fitness front, he has lost 65 pounds so far.

6/10 – Joe Kidd asked for prayers for his brother Mike, who needs prayers for healing of his stomach cancer that he has battled for years, and also a sizeable blood clot in his leg. The cancer was retreating until recently, but a new PET scan showed disappointing results. He was really hoping to be done with chemo. At age 65, he’s not sure how much fight he has left in him.

6/20 – J requested a prayer for her younger son Matt, whose seizure symptoms are returning again after 20 years of normalcy. So far he has not had a full-blown seizure, and the doctors are working to adjust his medication. But he can feel them in the background and they are interfering with his ability to do his job. Also, his second child is due in September.

6/24 – Fox2! asked for prayers as he had to spend the week in the hospital with AFIB.

6/24 – Screaming in Digital asked for prayers for an old friend, who was fighting cancer. The latest news was not good, but he is still receiving treatment.

6/24 – RetSgtRN asked for prayers for her son-in-law, Kenny, who at 37 is battling acute leukemia. He beat lymphoma 2 years ago. He has 2 boys, ages 3 and 7. He is also a police officer in a very large city and fortunately his boss has been supportive. Thanks to all for your prayers!
7/1 Update – Kenny is in remission. Now he will begin treatments for his bone marrow transplant, which will require him to remain in the hospital for 100 days, including part of it in isolation.

6/27 – Catch Thirty-Thr33’s father will return home from the hospital, and he will be visited by a hospice nurse twice a week. He is 82 now and has been fighting lung cancer for 18 months now. Please pray for him.

7/1 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for the woman that she is running with for township committee. The woman is having bad digestive pain.

7/1 – rhennigantx asked for prayers for his buddy Jason, who lost a good friend to an overdose. Jason is very angry at a (so called) friend who gave the other friend the drugs.

7/1 – JM in Fla/III asked for prayers for his brother and sister-in-law, who are struggling with their adult son; he is schizophrenic but does not always take his medicine.

7/4 – neverenoughcaffeine asked for prayers for Tom, Andy, and Wilson. Their wife and mom Yumiko died in a freak accident on Sunday and Tom was severely injured.

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.
