Thank you for establishing such a forum.
Jane, bobby - I am familiar with you both after lurking on the Nosty thread. Your perseverance will be rewarded in Heaven.
I have a prayer request to make of you all. My wife (Lisa) and I have tried to start a family for the past couple of years, to no success. Medical tests reveal that we BOTH have deficiencies that, although not insurmountable, make it very difficult for us to conceive. Please pray with us to ask God's blessing for a family.
Lord,
I thank You for the many blessings You have bestowed upon us. I am very grateful for Your relentless mercy and unbounding generosity. You have always provided for us in our time of need - ever present when we've needed Your help the most.
I ask You now to look favorably upon us once again (although we are not worthy) and grant that we may have the opportunity to share Your Word with a future generation of our own. Know that we will give our children back to You, Lord, so that they will become good witnesses to Thy Glory! Hear our prayer, but know that we are fully accepting of Your Will.
I also pray for others, in similar circumstances, who seek to raise children in Your name, but are having difficulty in conceiving and bearing children. I pray that they are eventually successful or that they find comfort in the other paths You have chosen for them. I also pray for the unborn. May their parents realize what a precious gift life is and choose to always accept the gift.
Thank you Father!
.....and Thank You!
God Bless, Paul |
