Prayer

"Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. 29 He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. 30 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; 31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

Isaiah 40:28-31

Please join us in praying for the following:

1. That the pneumonia in Eric's lungs would begin to heal. This way the rest of his body would begin to recover from the septic shock.
   
2. That Jodie would be strengthened by the Word, and that her energy and strength would be restored.
3. That God would give us all supernatural strength as we spend time at the hospital, take of the kids, and travel back and forth tying up loose ends at home.
   
4. That God would give Kelley and I wisdom as we stare at the needs here in Birmingham, but also try to gear up for Thailand, continue to raise support (personal and for Thailand), and make a decision on our living situation for next year. (We were desiring to move closer to campus in May)

"But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. 3 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior."

Isaiah 43:1-3a

"fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Isaiah 41:10
