Father God we thank You and praise You for Your loving caring sovereignty over the present situation with Michele's daughter and husband. Trusting Your ministering angels to do Your bidding as they keep all difficulties, problems and evil from them as well as covering Michele with your calming peace. We believe You will restore all that the locusts have eaten and restore beauty for ashes for You are a gracious, merciful, good and kind God.
I thank You for bringing peace to Michele's home already. For I know that You can make it so with only a Word...like a boat in a storm...you can calm the noise, the upset. I know Lord, that when we pray, we are to expect in Faith your answer. So, having read, and prayed along with the other Prayer Warriors words, I know You have already granted peace. And, Lord Jesus, I know, if for some reason, you chose not to answer our prayers in this way, it is because You have a greater plan. We many not see what greater good may come out of this...but we must trust--in Faith, that You do. Lord, I also pray that Michele be surrounded by peaceful circumstances in all areas of her life. That she not over-commit, something I know she and I have in common. Something I know you are helping me with, thank You, Lord for loving all of us.
Lord, I pray for all of the people who come to this place to call out Your name. I pray that they will find You, and have their prayers answered in the way that You know is best. And, when comfort is needed, Lord, You are the One who best knows how. But, teach us, Lord. Show us how.
Lord, I lift up, Cathy Kraft (with permission), her mother went to be with You unexpectantly this week. While Cathy and her family know this...they still mourn the person that they had with them. Please show that amazing comfort with them. Lord, when it is best for them, please dry their eyes, and fill their hearts, so it does not feel like there is a "hole in their hearts." They are faithful, Lord. They love You. They know You have a plan....and yet they are confused and so sad. Please love them as only You can. Thank you, Lord.
Lord, I thank You for being the friend I can go to about anything. The One I go to in the middle of the night. And, I thank You so much for putting these wonderful Prayer Warriors in my life. I love them very much. And, I know their hearts are so beautiful. I know Lord, that it must have been You who put us in each other's paths. Please bless them, and let Your countenance shine upon them.
I pray all of these things, in Your loving, comforting, strengthening, peaceful name. The name of Jesus the Christ. Amen.

Michele, please write when you can. I really miss you!
Caterina-you prayed such a beautiful prayer. It took my breath away. I was just in Gaithersburg and Olney. My FIL was moved to a different facility. His Alzheimer's has progressed. It is a beautiful place in the woods. I thought of you often while up there. I miss you.
Smileyj-thank you for your continued prayers for the guests who visit the He IS Able blog, and for the prayers for Josh, and for myself also. I continue to join you in prayer for the guests, the blog, you and your family members, and anyone else who needs prayer. I really appreciate you.
Ladies, thank you so very much for your heartfelt and loving prayers for me and my family. I was very thankful that for yesterday's stress I was able to keep calm and I think that is a good first step. I pray that DD can learn to be quiet more and appreciate what she does have - and DH peace and calm to deal with DD in a calm manner as well. It definitely was peace that passed understanding yesterday and thanks for all who have stepped in to stand in the gap with me!!
The Christian life is a life of paradox's. We must give to receive, realize we are blind to see, become simple to be wise, suffer for gain, and die to live.
Thank you guys for the raks. They came at a good time. We are still trying to figure out what is going on with Marc ( who has the beginning of severe stage of Alzheimers). Now he isn't eating much. I have to give an ensure drink. We start an antibiotic today. They gave him only 3 pills. If he is not doing better by Monday, he will be seeing his family doctor. He moans and groans, sometimes in pain, or has a fever. It is hard when he can't tell me. He didn't eat his chick-fil-a chicken nuggets (which he loves) because they taste nicky.? He is also taking up my side of the bed. I am glad I love this man!
PRAYER REQUEST: My BIL was hospitalized for a stroke - he may have had several mini strokes but he has issues with his left side. I pray for salvation and for healing for him. You ladies have been my life line and I appreciate it so very much!

Michele, trusting and believing in the goodness of the Lord for healing your BIL in every area and granting him eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart to receive Jesus.
The world's deepest problems—and ours as well—cannot be resolved with more money, more houses, more food, more “things.” Only God truly satisfies the human heart. Only his word fills us and leaves us fully content and satiated.

Nichole, grateful to read that your granddaddy is doing a bit better - sending much love, hugs and prayers for you and your family.
My FIL passed away yesterday. All of my husband's family is unsaved and my youngest son is conducting the service tomorrow. Please pray that God will give him the words to touch hearts. Also pray for my MIL (Peg). Her anniversary is this Friday and that is going to be particularly hard.

My heartfelt sympathies to you and all the family. May God truly give power to your son's words through His Holy Spirit as He gives ears to hear and hearts to receive.

Will pray that the service reaches those who are lost.
Louise- I am praying for the giver and the receivers that their ears can hear the message! Also Praying for Peg. My MIL is still struggling after the death of her husband.

My hubby has been in the hospital since last Friday with a sevete uti. He finally ate some solid food.
He has severe Alzheimer, and it has mostly torcher for him and horrific for me to see his terrified face and hear him scream. I haven't left the hospital at all, and barely left the room. He has this awful look when he can't see me. I am his security. Thanks for your prayers for him and me. We don't know when we will go home.

Joan, it is so very difficult to grieve over a spouse and it is so lonely for them.

My heart truly goes out to you and your hubby. Having severe Alzheimer disease with other complications is an extremely difficult road to walk. My God abundantly shower down His grace, comfort, mercy, encouragement and calming peace over both of you. <3
debra, thinking of you and DH this morning. God is good and he is able to sustain you through it all. Bless you as you stand by DH through this very difficult time..
Please pray for this sweet boy, he is facing surgery #49 with more to come. Here is the latest update from his site from his grandmother Darlene Cox.
WE HAD TO CHANGE PLANES .HAD TO GO TO MARYLAND EARLY
Tyler’s jaw was put in last November…new jaw to be put in on March 26
We just got home from Maryland last night. Tyler’s jaw put in in November has failed and he has to have yet another surgery. This will be surgery number 49, and will be done March 26 2012. I don’t know how much more he can take. I know that I have my faith to carry us through.
He is returning to Maryland, 600 miles from home. There are only a few short weeks until Tyler has to go through this again. Please keep praying for TyTy. Dr. Rodriguez has a company that is building Tyler a new jaw, and donating it to Tyler.
This is not the end. Tyler will still have to have a bone transplant and more surgeries all his life. We need donations for food, travel and places to stay, so if you can help Tyler and his family, please do. I know that God has angels out there and I am praying that they will step in to help us.
IT HURTS SO BAD TO SEE TYLER GO THROUGH ALL THIS. PLEASE HELP TO MAKE IT A LITTLE LESS WORRISOME.
If you cannot donate, please pray for Tyler and our family. And if you can donate, even the smallest amount will help. Visit Tyler at tylertucker.com. We love and are so grateful to you all. Without donations, Tyler cannot go to Maryland and get the medical help he needs. God bless you all and please kiss your kids. Tell them you love them each day. You don’t know what tomorrow may bring. What if this was your child?
– FROGgin’ (F.R.O.G. – Fully Rely On God) for Tyler
Thanks so much - my heart breaks for Tyler and his family.
Prayers for each of you today - prayers of peace, health, happiness and for each to know God and know Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Thankful for each of you and may you feel's God love and to always remember you are his and he is yours - it's a personal relationship and he loves us more than we can even understand. . .

Working with the VA or any government-run medical issues is a challenge. Trusting the Lord to move any and all mountains to your husband the care he needs.
As most of you know, am involved with Coles Foundation. Well, Aaron (Cole's dad) and all his family will be making their way to our home on Monday for a speaking engagement in Hanover, PA scheduled for Tuesday. Please pray for safety as they travel, the weather will stay good as well as giving Aaron power from the Lord when he speaks to move in the hearts who will be listening. Thanks
Asking for prayers for my BIL, he has had a 2nd stroke and that is obviously not good. This time it is worse and right now it doesn't look good. Please pray for him and for my DH he is stressed and upset and since we don't live close he is not sure what to do. They say he won't be able to take care of himself - but from what I medically understand - we need to see if he lives through the next 48 hours.
Just a quick post to thank everyone for their prayers for Aaron and his family. The speaking engagement last night went well and it was a privilege to go with Aaron to help him. The Hanover Exchange Club gave a nice donation and one of the members said that they will push to give a contribution yearly.
Enjoying Aaron, Moireen and, of course, the girls, Chanielle, Whitney and baby Taylor who looks so much like Cole. I keep telling Taylor that I am going to hide her so she can stay with me.... have a sense though her family would not allow that....
I am continuing to pray for your BIL. Just remember that anything could happen. Sometimes the news is better than expected. Hold on to HOPE. Hold on to Him.
I miss you!
He IS Able!

Please keep me in prayer. The probe they inserted five weeks ago when they did the endoscopy was supposed to stay in place for two days but it apparently fell out the first hour and now I have to have the probe put back in the esophagus. The only good news is that the biopsy was normal, but they were going to get some study results from that probe and didn't because it came loose before it was supposed to. They will call tomorrow with my new date to put another one in. Just pray that it stays in place for the two days. Was hoping this would all soon be figured out....
