Praise God for an Amazing Daughter

    My husband and I are so blessed.  We have a beautiful daughter that has chosen to help others by taking care of their eyes.  She graduated Optometry school after 4 years of under graduate school and 4 years of Optometry school.  During her schooling she spent a lot of her time at the inner city clinics and made a mission trip to Ecuador.  She had an amazing experience and learned that her knowledge and expertise was a gift beyond belief to the people she and the team she was with, served.
  
   We praise and thank you God, for this beautiful daughter that you entrusted us with.  She is a delight and crazy joyful wonder to us.  Thank you, that she has such and happy giving spirit.  She is strong and determined.  Guide her in Your Way, that she always seeks Your guidance and always remembers  where her talents have come from.

   We praise Your Holy Name, Lord.

Pray for a Beautiful Sister

   The sister is my beloved cousin.  She suffers from chronic pain.  She has seen many specialists with very little relief.  The pain is draining her spirit.  She is a woman of great faith.  She has given her talents to caring for people at great cost to her health.  Pray with me for her healing and strengthening of spirit.
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.  James 5:16.

Dear Father,
   Release our sister from the pain that has dominated her life for so long.  Give her the power to drive the pain from her body, the strength to dominate the pain as it has dominated her.  We lift her up to you, strengthen her spirit.  Hold her close so that she feels Your strength and power so that the pain can no longer dominate her thoughts.  Drive out the darkness that threatens her spirit.  Let her only see Your face and know that through You, all things are possible.   Amen Amen
