Prayer & Praise

Romans 8:26 NIV
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

Prayer is needed for Easton and a 5 month old baby and father who were shot. Thanks!!

PRAYER

BABY AND FATHER SHOT! 



CHICAGO — A 5-month-old girl and her father were shot Monday afternoon as the man changed the baby's diaper in Woodlawn, authorities said.
The baby was rushed to Comer Children's Hospital at the University of Chicago, said Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford. Relatives gathered there identified the baby as Johnylah Watkins. She's the daughter of 25-year-old Jonathan Watkins and Judy Watkins, 21, who herself was shot several months ago while pregnant with Johnylah.
The baby was in serious-to-critical condition, police said. A University of Chicago official said Johnylah remained in surgery as of 4:30 p.m.
Jonathan Watkins was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, police and family said, where he was in serious-to-critical condition. Police said he is a known member of the Gangster Disciples street gang.

Easton


Prayers please! Easton was rushed to the ER this evening when he passed out and lost consciousness twice, turned blue and seemed like he was hyperventilating. They are still waiting on blood cultures but right now he has rhinovirus&cronovirus. Xray was extremely cloudy so pneumonia is a definite. His blood gas level was 102+(intabation happens at 79+). Will keep you updated as I hear!!! Thanks for your prayers ♥ ~cousin Amy

PRAISE

Phoebe


Phoebe is on the upswing. Right after she received her platelets and blood transfusion yesterday, Nathan sent me a picture of her walking to the playroom! The difference in how she feels pre vs. post transfusions is really incredible. Blood is so important, and having the right amount of the right things in your blood makes you able to function properly. 

 The best news is that her ANC (Advanced Neutraphil Count) is 30 today, which means that her immune system is revving up again and she could be headed home as early as tomorrow. It's wonderful to think this might be her last transfusion for a very long time, and that soon enough we can take her all around town and to church without worrying about her immune system! What a feeling that will be, to just be able to go places with our whole family intact. 

 Eventually we will work towards weaning her off her ng tube, giving all of her meds orally, and teaching her that she has to drink despite her lack of thirst. We will also be setting up a set-caloric intake to help balance out her weight. There are still many challenges ahead, but having been through the last fourteen months, they seem minimal in comparison to chemotherapy and learning to swallow, breathe and walk again after sepsis. We can do it! She can do it! We have so much to be thankful for.

 Here's to Phoebe coming home to stay!

Thank you to all of you for intercessing for these sweet precious souls.

Blessings,

    With love to you!

    PSALM 23

    THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD,

    This is refreshing!

    He restores my soul,
    This is healing!

    GUIDE ME FOR THE PATHS OF JUSTICE,
    That's Guidance!

    FOR THE LOVE OF YOUR NAME,
    This is on purpose!

    THOUGH I WALK THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,
    That's Testing!

    I will fear no evil,
    That's Protection!

    Thou art with me,
    That is fidelity!

    YOUR STICK AND YOUR staff they comfort me,
    This is discipline!

    Prepare a table before ME IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES,
    This is hope!

    UNGE MY HEAD WITH OIL
    That's Consecration!

    And my cup runneth over,
    That's Abundance!

    SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY A follow me EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE,
    This is a blessing!

    AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD
    That's Security!

    FOR LONG DAYS,
    This is eternity!

    May the Lord bless you and keep you!

      Hi Jennifer,
      It IS so sad! That a gang member would try to kill a baby in retaliation to the father and mother. It breaks my heart.

      Thanks for your prayers hon.

    I am crying as I type this. I can not believe that anyone could do this to a beautiful baby. The only consolation I get is that she is with God now. Doesn't this truly demonstrate the spirit of Satan that is raging in this world. Father we pray for the person who did this that they will come to repentance and be transformed by your Holy Spirit. We thank You for your healing work in Phoebe, and ask that You heal Easton also. Lord send labourers into this world to do Your work of spreading the light of Your gospel in the darkness. In Jesus name I ask this Father. Amen.

      Hi Brenda,
      I didn't realize the baby died!! Oh my heart is in agony for the family. I am praying for no retaliation and for souls to come into repentance and lives changed by the Holy Spirit. I stand in agreement with your prayer Brenda and say amen!

      Thank you sister for praying and interceding for these who are suffering.

    Hi Child of God,
    Yes I read that she had died and I have prayed for the family too. As much as the natural me can not fathom out how anyone could do such a terrible thing as this, I am reminded that the battle is spiritual, and if I did not know this and that this beautiful little girl was in the Lord's care, and that the Lord will be with her family through prayer, I would feel only natural hatred. My friend and I used to visit prisoners on the lifers' wing and we saw so much just what God could do in releasing these people.

      Hi Brenda,
      Yes, this is a spiritual battle and the forces around us are deep, dark and horrible but the Spirit of God that lives in us is great, bigger and wonderful and He has conquered this battle. I am thankful that this precious baby is in the arms of Jesus and we can gather together, as believers, and pray for the salvation of this grieving family.

      What a wonderful mission you and your friend had. I'm sure many were changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.

      Blessings,
