About 3 weeks ago, I asked for prayer for a young
couple who went to Hong Kong and Thailand on holiday and to run a marathon in
Hong Kong. She came 5th and all went well. They also had a wonderful holiday and
wanted to stay longer till the 30th Dec., but, her sister from American was
leaving on the 26th Dec and she wanted to spend some time with her as it would
be long before she will see her again. So they returned on the 22nd Dec...I can
just praise God and THANK Him for their protection and safe return! I cry every
time I see or hear the news of more and more people lost and dead and I just
thank Him again and again... THANK YOU!

Hi there! I asked you to pray back in November for
my friend, who was planning to flee the country to get out of an abusive long
term relationship. It was a v stressful time for all involved, but the good news
is that she got back to her home country with the family member without any big
complications: this was a real miracle! She is doing fairly well, though
complete healing and moving on will obviously take time. I was able to talk
about my faith with her so hopefully she will have taken some of that in too.

"Sleepless" - Friday 24th
Update, and thanks to God and to everybody who
prayed following my request last week. Thanks especially to the pray-ers who
sent me the encouraging WORDS. I have not taken any tablets for a week. My sleep
is still broken~ reading and listening to worship tapes at 3 or 4 in the
morning! But I am feeling I can cope with the days and am confident that it will
continue to get better. Please carry on praying... I hope to go back to the
doctor in two weeks and tell him I do not have a problem any more.

Steve c/o Heather (Birmingham) - Saturday 18th
Thanks to all who have been praying! When I spoke
to Steve last night and asked him about the specific side effects he was
experiencing from the anti-depressants, he told me that they were a lot
better...not completely gone, but the difference was quite dramatic, praise God!
Please continue to pray for his salvation!

L and her daughter M - Thursday 16th
Thanks to all those who have been praying for M: at last the doctors have found
out what is wrong! She has bronchiolitis, a chest infection and a virus.
Thankfully the treatment the doctors were already giving her was the right one,
but she is still very poorly, with a temperature that can fluctuate within a few
minutes from normal to extremely high, and still has a long way to go in terms
of her illness. Please continue to pray for her, and for her mum L, that they
will both be able to get some sleep, and that they will really know God's
presence and peace with them.

My brother and I were not getting on due to a disagreement at a family
gathering. When I tried to contact him he would not respond, also he was quite
ill at the time and I was really concerned that if his situation deteriorated
further then I may not get a chance to reconcile the situation if he were to
die. Anyway I prayed that he would get well and have a full recovery, which he
did and that there would be healing between us, which has already started when
he called me up after 6 months, our conversation went fine and we got on fine
and looking
forward to keeping it that way. Praise God in Jesus' name.

Glory be to God! The young business man who was in
a panic about his clients not paying him so he can pay his debtors, (is.
importer company etc) got enough money in to pay that company as well as a
promise of some other payment to settle his debts! This in a time were everybody
is slow in paying accounts! So, Glory be to God who hears our prayers! Thank you
Dear Lord! Also, a young girl of 19 who was asked by friends to take them half
way across the country with her little car, in a very busy time on the road in
the holiday season, and her father told her he didn't want her to go, but she
insisted to go. Her mother prayed that she will be safe on the road, as she is
very strong willed and usually follows her own head, and yesterday, she phoned
her mother form the town where she lives, as this time, she didn't go and and
tried to please her friends, the friends had to change their plans. There is
NOTHING God CANNOT do, He makes the impossible, POSSIBLE! Changing peoples
hearts and minds. Don't give up hope, He hears our every pray and at the right
time, He answers! We have a Wonderful Father God who loves us very much! Glory
unto Him!

Amy (Warwickshire) - Wednesday 8th My

I had asked for prayer for my sister Joy, who had
been hurt in a bike accident and then had a bad cold, which meant she had hardly
had any sleep in several days and was getting behind in her studies. I have
since talked to her and she said she has been finding sleep easier and has been
able to catch up on some of her work.

Juliana (South Africa) - Monday 6th
I just want to encourage as many people as
possible by saying that God does answer prayers in big ways and such small ways
that we don't even notice it! From lost cats to lost children to lost
friendships and love we must just open our eyes and SEE! A cat who is the dear
companion of an elderly woman was lost, and the cat returned, after lots of
prayer, bringing much joy, Nina was floating around in the world, in dangerous
places, and God changed her mind and heart and outlook, friendships that makes
life meaningful was broken, and God restored it, hearts of people who's
happiness depended on their bank balance, are been changed. If things aren't
working out the way we want it right now, it is because God has a BETTER plan
for us, and to focus on the Goodness, the Grace, the Love and the Almighty Power
of God, what His Son did for us on the Cross and the wonderful Gift of the Holy
Spirit, that is with us always!!! To praise God really in every thing, as it
will bless US! We don't have to make an appointment, He is THERE FOR US!! We
can really just rejoice and praise His Glorious Name!!!! May you all experience
the Love of God. Remember, He is not a man, there is NO meanness in Him, ONLY
GOOD and we can trust Him al the time for His Faithfulness!!! Glory to God in
the Most High!! And we dare call Him our Father!

In September I submitted two requests. One was
that I had suffered from (fairly mild) depression and the other was that I was
visiting Spain to see a friend, but had not heard from her. Both prayers
have been answered - the holiday went ahead and it was a good opportunity to
spend time with my friend. In the longer term I have been finding my depression
has improved, although it is still a problem.
-
M c/o Anonymous - Sunday 5th
Praise God for answered prayer! M is much better
today, although still not 100%, and both mum and daughter have been able to get
a good night's sleep! M has also coped well with having to use a ventolin
paediatric volumiser for the first time for her asthma, which can be really
traumatic for many young children!

A while ago I requested that you
pray for my elderly mother, that she would be able to move into the
bungalow she wanted. Everything went through and she moved in yesterday.
It seems exactly right for her in practically every way. Please pray
that she'll be happy and contented there. Also keep praying for H's
depression to lift as she is still unable to work - may she come to know
God's kindness and mercy. Thank God for the abundance of His gifts,
especially for the gift of His Son.

Thank you for praying for me, my partner &
his son. Relations with my partners ex are still strained but, so far,
improving. Please continue to pray for us as she will be meeting with my
partner at the weekend as there's something she wants to 'discuss'. I'm
worried sick but am trying to believe that the Lord will take care of
things. x

The unpleasant situation with the
pupil (that I described in a recent request) has been resolved... in a
way. He was suspended for three days and will be permanently withdrawn
from English Lessons with me. This is great for me, as the regular
verbal abuse will stop but I can't help feeling that it is somehow
worse for him. He will sit alone and actually get the work done, but
it will be 101 worksheets instead of variety. He is to blame for his
behaviour, and I could not really imagine a miraculous turnaround but
I wanted to. Keep praying!

Steve (Warwick) - Tuesday 23rd
Thanks to all who prayed for the youth group at
Christ Church, Bexleyheath, that my sister is helping to start. They
had substantially more people attend last Friday, and she's now
confident that enough young people are committed for it to take off
properly over the coming months.

Sam c/o Chris - Sunday 21st
Here is a message from my daughter
about baby Sam who had Pneumonia and Diarrhoea as well as bronchiolitis.
"Apparently Sam is having a go at feeding orally, and they have reduced
his oxygen. Bless him - he's a real little fighter.
Please keep those prayers coming. They seem to be working so far!"
Thank you all for your prayers. Love
Chris

Nina c/o Juliana (South Africa) -
Sunday 21st
Nina left home nearly a year ago without
her Bible. She was mixed up in a 'wild' crowd, seeking 'fun' in the
wrong place and I have prayed non stop for her protection and to
develop a deep hunger for the Lord. She lost 3 friends, one through
drugs, 2 by drink and driving and she started to ask me to please pray
for them and some other children. In July, she changed her friends
completely and are now friends with a group of Christian children that
has cell groups once a week, and goes to church regularly. I want to
encourage all who pray, that PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED BECAUSE GOD IS GOOD
AND FAITHFULL, AND FULL OF WONDERFUL MERCY!! Praise to our Wonderful God
and Heavenly Father!!!!!For ever and ever!

Dear Prayer warriors, I have prayed
that my friend would make contact with me again, and thanks to God, he
did. He is very special as we are companions in Christ. He has helped me
in going back to church, seeking God earnestly and wanting to be a
better person totally. He gives me perspective and points out the issues
that I would other wise have missed, in the Bible and in Life in
general. So, as you can see, I miss hearing from him when he doesn't
write. Also because he is not well, I am concerned and would like to
know how he is doing, and not hearing from him, is very bad for me. We
live worlds apart, so e-mail is a wonderful way to keep contact and if
he cuts that off, I do feel lost and extremely sad. I believe God gives
us our friends, and He has blessed me very much with this special
friend! Please keep on praying that he will keep in contact! Thanks to
God and for all your prayers.

Rev. B. Abraham - Friday 12th
I am thankful to God for your
prayers and the supports. Recently on November 6th we had 24 pastors
for our one day monthly seminars and they gave testimony that they are
blessed being with us in spiritual things. Mrs.Geetha Meganathan a Hindu
convert who was attacked by witch craft -black magic persons for 25
years got delivered completely after months of hard and fasting
prayers. Praise the Lord. They both are filled with the Holy Spirit.
Then we targeted other people - Mr. Anbalagan, Salome Mary, Mr.Sankar,
Mrs.Selvi Sankar, Mr.A.Rajan and Mrs. Priya Rajan to receive the baptism
of the Holy Spirit. So we took special studies for the preparation on
this Tuesday and on Wednesday. For our wonder all 6 of them received
the baptism of the Holy Spirit and began to speak in tongues. The
second day I told about getting vision and dreams. The three people
testified they saw dreams and heard the voice of God. Praise the Lord.
When they were sharing these testimonies I remembered you.
I want to thank you for your prayers and thanks for
your prayers for Van also which is very useful for us in the winter
season to visit with many people for home cell ministries. I humbly
request you to continue to keep us in your prayers and support us as
the Lord leads. WE HAVE ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER AND
PHOTOGRAPHS IN THE POST OF REV. B. ABRAHAM AND HIS WORK WITH THE NORTH
INDIA GOSPEL MISSION. THANKS VERY MUCH.

Mary, Mary (USA) - Tuesday 9th
Let's start thanking God for our
healings ( don't call it our sickness, or take ownership) after we pray
for it. We don't need to ask twice just praise and thank him for he is
good and " by His stripes we were healed. When a job looses it's joy it
could be that God is getting ready to move you out. Ask him if he has
something better for you and wait for his answer before moving. Then
start to prepare. God has something very special for his children who
are willing to say "Use Me". This ministry is bigger than you ever
thought it would be. You may be surprised to think God can use you but
he has already, in a big way. Money cometh to you!!!!!!! For all the
needs to be supplied. Thank you Lord for divine interventions and
connections!

Reinhardt c/o Juliana (South

We can just praise God for His Love and
Kindness!! He is so faithfull and full of mercy! Reinhardt had a
telephone call out of the 'blue' from a very famous business client of
his who invited him and his wife for supper and they talked the whole of
the evening about Jesus, and how fame and success nearly was the end of
him!!! He and his wife are going to stay over at Reinhardt's house and
go to church on Sunday together!!

Billy c/o Heather (Birmingham) - Friday 5th
Praise God that Billy is really starting to improve! Here is
what his niece posted on the Diagnosed Arthritis group message boards today (http://www.groups.msn.com/DiagnosedArthritis.com:)
"Good news with my uncle Billy, he has managed to get up and have a bit of a
walk around the ward and also surprised my aunt with a phonecall at 9pm, his
speech is still difficult but my aunt understood his intentions..... He has
also been transferred to another hospital that specialises in rehabilitation,
not sure how long he will be in for....
I have told him about all your messages and he is so pleased, his church have
been praying and he is astounded at the amount of well wishes.... He has
asked me to say thank you....."

Hi, I posted a prayer request
about 6 months ago, I was unhappy at work and wanted help to find another job.
Well, 6 months later and my prayers have been answered, but not in the way that
I expected. Over the Summer my husband got fired from his job - we went through
a terrible time and wondered how on earth we would cope. I answered an email
from a school wanting temp work, and as I have a Tuesdays off I offered to go
and help them. Well, I HATED it!! I came back to my job the day after and
realised just how great it really was! SO, I am a lot happier - I think God
wanted me to appreciate just how blessed I am. Good news for my husband
too - he now has a job where he is appreciated and not taken for granted. Thank
you to everyone who prayed for me. Thanks be to God who does answer our
prayers - even if it is not the way we expect!

Dear All, I've posted a few times over the
last few months cos I needed to redo a placement and these are in short supply.
Found out that I now have a placement in Birmingham so I can stay in Cov and
commute. Don't yet know when it'll be. Please continue to pray that the retake
will go ok, that I'll get on with the department and that I'll pass it this

Thank you all for praying about my role at
work and ability to do what my boss wants me to do. I have become significantly
more confident and able, and am finding taking responsibility and planning ahead
more natural. I know I have a long way to go yet, but I am no longer afraid
that I will be inadequate to get there. Thank you very much.

Debbie - Tuesday 26th
I want to thank our Lord and each of you
for your prayers for my daughter. I am Debbie and have put in requests for 2
months for my daughters depression, and that she will find a job that suites
her, and to met the right man. She has found the job that is right for her, she
is starting at the bottom, but I heard excitement in her that I have not heard
for a long time after her first day of training. So thank you that is a moment I
have waited for. Please keep her in your prayers, remember she is 20 and has
never dated, I know God has plans for that too! Thanks!

B c/o Chris - Friday 15th
Thank you for praying for B who went into
hospital suddenly from work on Tuesday. Happily he was able to come home on
Wednesday assured that his Heart, Liver and Kidneys are all fine and that the
pain was of a musculo/skeletal nature. He has been back to work today on the
proviso that he takes it easy and although not completely free of pain is much
better. God bless you all.

Heather (Birmingham) - Thursday 14th
Thanks to all who have been praying for me
this week! At the beginning of the week, I really didn't think I would manage to
keep working, but praise God that prayers have been answered and I am still
there!!! It has been a tough week, but with good treatment from my physio and
your prayers, I have even enjoyed the playing, and my left shoulder is
considerably better than it was! And, in an ironic twist which gives further
glory to God, I was not meant to be at work today, but didn't realise, and when
it became apparent that someone had gone off sick, and the person on call lived
about 60 miles away, I was able to offer to play instead of him, because I
happened to be there anyway for a meeting!!! God has a wonderful sense of
humour, and I feel this was a really positive witness for him!
HOWEVER, please keep praying, because I now have a new
problem-severe inflammation in my left foot which is making my life very
difficult! It feel as if I have broken my foot, and is agony to walk on,
but apparently it is soft tissue inflammation (probably caused by my
Hypermobility Syndrome). It throbs and burns all the time, but means I am
limping badly, which is then causing more pain in my knees and back!!! I am
concerned because it seems to be getting worse, and the rest of my body is
starting to really be affected. Please pray a) that the pain will ease so I can
walk properly and that I won't cause any further damage to my body and b) that I
will continue to really trust God with my health. This hymn expresses how I feel
exactly!
"Praise My soul the King
of Heaven, To His feet thy tribute bring,
Ransomed, healed,
restored, forgiven, Who like me His praise should sing?...
Father-like He tends and
spares us, Well our feeble frame He knows,
In His hands He gently
bears us, Rescues us from all our foes
Praise Him....widely as
His mercy flows!"

Update on A (from October 5th) - Sunday
10th Thanks to all
who prayed for my friend A who was in crisis over her parents/home situation.
please continue to pray, as the situation at home is not resolved, but praise
God that she has been kept safe and has been able to carry on living with help
from a friend. Pray that her housing need will be effectively sorted and her
health doesn't deteriorate any more. Praise God for answering and looking after
His precious child A!

Amy (Warwickshire) - Friday 8th
Thanks for praying with me through my
hospital appointments over the last week. I now have a date for my epidural
steroid injection (18th Oct). Please pray that this is straightforward and
provides me with relief. I also need much prayer for wisdom as to whether or
not to then go ahead with back surgery, which I am on the list to have. My
specialist has put it off for a while especially because of the implications
surgery has for people with Hypermobility Syndrome. However, it may be
necessary if I am to regain a better quality of life after all this time. Please
pray that I may be given enough information and advice from him and from people
with HMS who have undergone similar operations. I need to trust God fully with
this whole thing!
-
Anna (London) - Wednesday 6th
(several months ago) Anna had pain in her
finger associated with playing her viola. She is starting a career as a
professional musician, so this was very distressing. When the surgeon operated
he found tiny pieces of viola string under the skin irritating the nerve! This
was very strange but a huge relief because, now these are removed, the finger
can heal. It rules out any diagnoses of referred pain from wrist or shoulder
nerve problems, which would have been more serious. Please pray for Anna as a
friend who has been taking care of her over this time would love her to come to
know Jesus.

From 27th September - From one of the

and touches their hearts, and uses them in His purposes.

Thanks to everyone who prayed for my Nan
over the summer. She is a very faithful servant of Jesus who has served Him
through a very special ministry of hospitality and friendship. She is amazingly
recovered, she is able to walk and sit up and she is enjoying being at a
Christian care home, which is a real answer to prayer. Please would you continue
to pray for her to be surrounded by love and protected. Also that she would be
able to speak properly so that she can make friends. Also, what she has been
through has shown us that there are many old people in hospitals and care homes
who are lonely and quite often not looked after very well-so please pray for all
people in those situations. Praise be to our wonderful God through Jesus Christ.

Mary, Mary and Jeff - Saturday 18th
Praise the Lord! Our power came back on on
Tuesday. We did not have too much damage. Just from heat. We have to repair some
floors and Jeff's guitar was ruined but nothing important that con not be

through one again but probably will if we stay in Florida. Thank you for all
your prayers.

L (6th September) c/o Heather
(Birmingham) - Sunday 12th
Praise God for answered prayer! My friend L went
away to spend time getting to know her new adoptive daughter last week, and it
was thought that the introductions would take at least 2 weeks. However, things
went so well and prayers were answered so specifically that she is now back in
Birmingham with her new adoptive daughter, and they are getting on really well!
It is very obvious that this child is the right one for my friend, and I want to
give God the glory as well as thanking those of you who prayed for L and her new
daughter M. Please continue to pray that they will enjoy the process of really
getting to know each other, that God will richly bless both of them, that M will
feel loved, accepted and secure, and that any problems caused by the stress of
the change (which at the moment seems to be minimal, praise God!) will be kept
to a minimum. Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise!

This is a bit belated, but I promised I

Adele - Tuesday 7th
Right well I thought I better put a message
on the answer board!!! LOL WOW what a time I have had..... I think it is safe to
say that I am back on track.....I hope that with support of Christian friends,
few as they may be I will stay on track this time. I am starting to trust in God
more and to hand my life over to him and trust him a bit more (yer not a lot at
the mo, but I plan on building it up) and hey no1's perfect anyway!!!:) I
just hope and pray that things stay this way!!! well up until now (and I must
admit I haven't really looked at this site in a lil while not properly) I hadn't
seen the prayer requests that have been put up for me. so I had NO idea that
people had been praying about my self harm..... yer A:= me went to a
service sat and was TOTALLY filled with the holy spirit until I was 100%
overflowing and totally drunk!!! LOL Sunday's service was scary and well I
don't know..... it was amazing in A LOT of ways, but felt I needed more prayer
(I never seem to avoid it when God wants me to be prayed for) well the woman
that prayed for me I had spoken to the night before about cutting cus felt God
wanted me to tell some1. this lady had me on her heart, she had been praying for
me and had been told by God to ask me about giving up cutting and I had to give
a yes or no answer (she's a Christian councillor)..... inside me was this big
spiritual battle the devil wanted me to say no and was going to do anything to
make me carry on, so I was getting some nasty images, but gods voice was SO much
stronger and I knew I had to stop. so finally I gave J. the blades as they were
in my bag and said that I was going to stop and give it to God. and I have got
rid of all the stuff I have found at home too. thanks to all of you that have
been praying, I had no idea and all this happened, wow God is AMAZING. finally
THANK YOU GOD for answering this prayer and being here for me, and giving me
people to support me. also for giving me the strength to help others in
difficult situations, and I pray that I can continue to help her!!! all my love,
God bless xXx<><†

M, M and Jeff (Florida) - Saturday 4th
Hi! We are feeling some wind now. The hurricane slowed up enough for us to get
better prepared. Our house is solid but we didn't have some of our windows as
protected as we should. We thought about leaving our home for a shelter but we
felt the Lord tell us to prepare and to stay. We now have two people with us
that had no where else to go. They live in trailers or camper. So we are a
shelter praise the Lord!! We all put our food together and at this point are
eating like kings and queens. Our prayer for time and safety has been answered
so far and we know God is faithful and will continue to protect. Amen!!!

Heather (Birmingham) - Saturday
4th Thanks again to
all who supported me in prayer during my orchestra tour this last week. I did
survive, and managed to do all the concerts, although the pain levels were
horrendous, but God gave me the strength to keep going, and also to do the
necessary walking etc at airports, although it was touch and go at times!!
But please be encouraged: although' I found it a very difficult tour and wasn't
able to enjoy the playing as much due to the pain in my shoulders, I was still
able to be a witness to the Love of Christ to at least 2 people (unofficial
agony aunt!!), and witnessed the most incredible scenery in Italy and
Switzerland on the mountain passes, which just reminded me of God's amazing
power and greatness, even though I am weak! So God's promise is true: 'My grace
is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly
therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may
rest upon me.' May Jesus Christ be praised and glorified through me as He has
promised, and may anyone else who is feeling weak and useless be encouraged: God
can still use you, even when you least expect it!
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed-Allelujah!

Thank you to God and everybody who prayed
for Greenbelt Festival. Everything went well, it did not rain too much, so the

excellent range of speakers and worship. It felt very special and God was

is breast fed by Caroline. Unfortunately the hospital left some "things" inside

healthy life from here on.

PE (Maidstone) - Wednesday 18th
Thank you for all who prayed concerning my daughter who was having difficulties
in a marriage where she had little say in what went on and also her aggressive
husband had lost his job. We also requested prayer for her to be able to have a
family as her time clock is running out and is in a senior role in a pressurised
job which commands a large percentage of time. The Lord moves in mysterious ways
as we do not always receive answers to prayer at the time we request and we are
taught to place our requests before our Lord on a regular basis. Thank you
Jesus for your answer as her husband has now secured employment although some 80
miles away and stays during the week returning home at weekends. My daughter
travels there one evening midweek after work returning next morning leaving
early to start work at 8.30. We would still appreciate your prayers
for her to give her life to Jesus, for safe travelling and for her to be able to
have a family before it is to late. Thank you. Praise the Lord!

Praise to our faithful
Heavenly Father!! Sylvester, who has gone missing, has contact his friend in
Cape Town, saying he is now going to go and live in Cape Town where he has got a
job as a barman (not the most perfect milieu) and where he will at least have a
support system in caring friends, and might even decide to go back to school.
Please keep on praying for his friends in Cape Town for support for them and
that he will find the Lord and except Him as his Saviour. Thank you very much

Samuel (Birmingham) - Friday 23rd
After a distressing admission to hospital a few days ago, Samuel is now back on
his feet and has returned home. Thank God for this healing and also
for the faith and trust of his family continuously through every difficulty.
Please continue to pray for his full recovery (especially at this time of being
taken off medication, which has caused side effects).

Anonymous - Friday 23rd
Thank you GOD for a wonderful Holiday Club
week in Southam, Warks. The programme and organisation went well and it was
great to see people from the different churches working and having fun together.
Thank you for good weather, so we could do the outside activities, for all the
organisers and musicians and the sandwich makers. We ask God to be with all the
children and helpers; to help the few children with behaviour problems, to make
His presence felt in their lives, to bring them peace and calm. In Jesus' Name
we pray.

Jen c/o Amy (Midlands) - Monday 19th
ANSWER / UPDATE
Jen posted this update on the Hypermobility
Syndrome chat site. Thank God for her news so far, and please continue to pray
for her and others with HMS. Thanks. 'Just a quick message to let you know
that I am now back from hospital. The operation went well they found that the
tear was pretty bad, and it was very tatty in my hip so they tidied it up and
did what they do for the tears. They said that because I am so hypermobile,
when my joint is coming in and out even just a little it is wearing away at the
gristle between the ball and socket of the hip. The doctors said I have a few
years yet, but didn't explain what he meant: we are assuming that he meant I
will need to have a new hip because of it wearing away. But when we go for a
follow up appointment we will ask him what is gonna come about in the future.
Anyway, I have to go - I am getting sore, take care hope you are all well Jen'

Hannah (Warwickshire) - Sunday 18th
I got the teaching job, after the interview
on Thursday! Thank God. Thank you also to those who prayed for me - it was
fantastic to feel so supported in prayer. This has been a valuable lesson for me
in trusting that God will provide for us what we need. I have been trying to get
a teaching job like this since I left college a year ago, so I have had to try
and be patient and trusting, despite financial worries. God has taught me a lot
through this difficult time. Thank you again. God bless you.

Amy (Warks) - Friday 9th
I have a car! I have not been
able to drive for two years because of my disabilities, but have finally found a
car that I can drive, which suits all my requirements (automatic, comfortable
seating position, headroom, knee room, small enough to manoeuvre but enough
space to fit a wheelchair and a 'cello in at the same time, and affordable)! Now
I will be able to be much more independent (because I live in the countryside
and have had to depend on others for lifts). When I posted a request, I said
that it sounded impossible, but that 'with God all things are possible'.
Indeed they are! (If anyone else is looking for something similar, it is a
Suzuki Wagon R.) This week Heather (who also has Hypermobility
Syndrome) has also found a car to suit her needs. Thanks, Lord!

healing.

Re: my nan! - Tuesday 6th
Thank you SO much in Christ Jesus,
everyone who has prayed with us - WE HAVE JUST HEARD THAT SHE HAS BEEN OFFERED A
MONTH'S TRIAL AT THE CHRISTIAN CARE HOME!!!!! This is such an answer to prayer,
and is so encouraging because she has lived and loved for Jesus-as my dad
reminded us the other day when things looked pretty bleak-"No-one who trusts in
Him will ever be put to shame or disappointed". Also things look more promising
for a proper recovery as it turns out that it was not a stroke but overactive
thyroid and high blood pressure. Also Jesus has been very much visibly at work
in my life-to help me to trust Him and that I have a future and a hope in our
wonderful Lord Jesus-and so do you!!! xxxxx

Heather (Birmingham) - Monday 5th
Thanks to all who prayed for me over the weekend! It was really tough, and I had
to keep reminding myself to look to Jesus for His help and strength, but I
managed to keep working, and to stay cheerful for most of the time! In private
it is hard not to get discouraged over the deterioration in my physical health,
especially in the walking, but thanks to your prayers God is still blessing me
within the trials I am facing! Thanks too for those who prayed about the car: I
went to see one today, had complete peace about it, and have bought it! Isn't it
wonderful to know that God cares about even the seemingly trivial things in our
lives!! Praise Him!

R & A - Sunday 4th
After putting up a request because of life
feeling hard and struggling, I (A) have had three really good days with lots of
blessings - particularly at an evening service where the Holy Spirit touched me
in a very powerful way and brought me much joy and courage to face my trials -
and vision for new things. I feel turned around - please pray for
continued strength, and strength for R who is still very tired. A
wonderful and fast answer to prayer - thanks for praying!
