I Need You To Pray


Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
(Hebrews 4:16 - ESV)

Last year around Christmas time I asked my blogging friends to be in prayer with me for my father in law. He (JR) is doing well...but now...

My father David (the "D" in my name is from him) has just had a stroke or something like it. It is 7:00 EST in Florida, and my mom just called me. I do not have a whole lot of info right now, but I WOULD ASK THAT ALL OF YOU PLEASE PRAY FOR HIS HEALTH, AND THAT I MIGHT ARRIVE THERE (MARGIE AND I LIVE 2.5 HOURS AWAY) IN TIME...

AS FOR YOUR NEXT QUESTION (IS HE SAVED?), ALL I CAN SAY IS PLEASE PRAY!!!

Praise God and thank you for your prayers...the ordeal, as my mom described it, was very scary, but amazingly (Providentially) dad seems to have recovered, I talked to him on our way to the hospital, and he was fully coherent...they do think he had a stroke, but they are doing a cat scan and keeping him overnight...he was scheduled for a doctor's appointment tomorrow anyway...I am thankful that our hometown pastor and my personal mentor, Ted Ballard, arrived on the scene just as my mom was getting there...again, thank you for praying, and continue to pray that this might all redound to the glory of God as my dad comes to saving faith...

The cat scan and testing revealed that dad's blood sugar and other vitals were fine, what they believed happened was a seizure, not a stroke, but they are unaware of what may have caused it...he was able to come home at his and mom's insistence, and he will return at 8:30 am tomorrow (Friday)...again, thank you for your continued prayers...

A joy to hear from you friend, as I am continuing to pray for your loved one(s) as well...Margie and I spoke of and prayed for Cadenne last night...may His name be glorified in all we do...

Am praying that Christ be glorified, and that you, your mom and Margie be comforted. May the doctors be granted the Lord's view of this; and from there be guided by His wisdom. may your dad come to Jesus in this.

Amen.
