Prayers for all requests

Bootsie-

Prayers sent for your friend.

Everyone- I need some prayers for my good friend Annette. She's been having a rough time lately and is very depressed. A combo of bad job and wanting to find love for years with no luck. I hope you'll join me in praying that the Lord will bless her and help her to find a job that matches her skills and personality and that He will bring true love into her life.

Sending up some more prayers for your friend ANNETTE tonight ...

DEE ~ my DH just ask me what I was praying about, so I told him; and he said to tell your friend that she needs to go where the men are ... ie join the golf club or hang out at your local hockey arena as there are lots of men there (esp during hockey games). DH also said to go to the bank and flirt with any men you see withdrawing lots of money ... he's joking of course, but then again ... hmmm ... he may have a point. Don't forget to go to the local Tim Hortons' as lots of bachelor men hang out there having coffee in the AM and afternoon too ... oh, and at mealtimes, visit local restaurants as lots of bachelors hate to cook ...

UPDATE ~ just wanted to update you on our friend GUY -- seems what happened was that he had SCIATICA, where a nerve in his leg was really bothering him -- from the buttocks down to his heel, making it hard to walk. So they gave him some medicine for it that ate a hole in his duodenum (the part that joins the intestines, I think). So he had to have blood transfusions and an operation. That is all healed up now; but he still has the Sciatica Nerve Pain problem, but it is getting better; he is now getting another type of treatment for it. Seems DH was a bit mixed up on the details, but they really appreciate your prayers; so thanks ...

Continuing in prayer for Guy, that the right treatment will be found.

So many hurting...continued prayers

My brother has bronchitis and he is afraid he is going to have to go to the hospital. Went to the doctor last Friday, got some pills but he said his cough is no better.

And- you might suggest your brother try ginger for the bronchitis. It's a Chinese remedy and it works. Everyone in our family uses ginger now for congestion and bronchitis, the kids even ask for it. There's two good ways to use it. One is to grate about a tablespoon and then cover it in honey and swallow without chewing. The other is to slice about an inch of root into thin slices and boil into a tea. Sometimes I'll even put in a real tea bag or some orange juice or something to make it a bit tastier and then sweeten with honey.

Thanks I will tell him when he calls. He cannot hear the telephone ring when I call and I use his minutes up he says. My Daddy always said Ginger was good for ailments. Thanks! Never knew it was good for bronchitis!

Asking for prayers today for a few folks at church.

AJ, a young man around 28 yrs. was born with lung issues...he is now having heart issues. I have known him since his birth and his folks before that.

Greta, an elderly women at church I have known for 30 years has fallen and broken her shoulder for the second time in about 6 months.

Miriam and Bob, friends from church...elderly...they live in a nursing home by church..Miriam had to have her leg taken this past week because of blood clots.

Thank you all in advance.

EZ- Prayers sent.

GARY ~ prayers on their way for everyone on your list and their families ...

Thank you ladies! I/we know the prayers will be heard.

PRAYER REQUEST PLEASE ~ for all the people laid off at our Plywood Plant and their families, in our small Northern Ontario town -- plus ...

DH was visiting a friend and came home with some sad news that a couple of men who lost their jobs had taken their lives: we hope it isn't true, but just in case it is, I am posting a prayer for them and their families here.

We also pray that others will not panic and make that same bad choice -- as their families are only left with heartache for the rest of their lives. Suicide doesn't solve anything; and it should NEVER be an option for our problems. People must reach out and support each other; help each other in whatever way they can (money, food, etc); encourage each other; counsel each other; and pray for each other too!

We are going to suggest they start an emergency fund to help those that can't even access the UI funds to pay their mortgages and utilities, etc. I have heard this done before in other places. They say the Plywood Plant tried to use a new type of inferior wood to make products and it didn't work, so the workers were laid off for 7 weeks -- they were supposed to be called back this month but nobody has heard anything.

People need the LORD in their lives so they can have PEACE and HOPE during good times and bad. Thanks for your prayers ... Rosebud
