Luke 4:18

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 1 Pet 4:12-13

Your prayers are deeply coveted on behalf of two young men, Adam, the beloved firstborn son of a dear family and Chris, a beloved husband and father who are both in a critical care unit and both in desperate condition. 

If you are lead by the Holy Spirit to minister financially to help cover the costs of the vast array of medical care that both of these men require as a result of being in a catastrophic traffic accident please do... 

Adam's mother, a too-young widow writes:  "I was thinking as I prepared for bed, how much different this would be for me, if I didn’t know the Lord as my friend. No progress was made today.  The CT scan was unchanged from yesterday.  He is still not responsive to any commands.  I talked to 4 different doctors today.   Sometimes there is none, and sometimes several. They spoke of doing a trachestomy in the next couple of days if they cannot get him to respond and breathe on his own.   Lots of head traumas came in last night.The day goes on for all, I watch and wonder if they contemplate or maybe just don’t think on the existence of God.  I feel such compassion for all in there.  My son’s friends, the patients, the older woman silently whispering a prayer outside her husband’s room.  My body is weak, my emotions are fragile, but I see so many that need pointed to the One who loves them.  If they only saw the myriad ways He uses to daily draws them to Him in lovingkindness.  I wonder in my head, does this make them ponder the brevity of life and what their end might be?  I don’t know if they do.

I talked to Chris' wife as she came by to say goodbye tonight on her way home to her two babies.  She is a sweet person, my heart really cries out for her, please keep her in your prayers, to come to know Him, for the right opportunities to present itself to continue to share with her of Christ’s love for them all.   Somebody sent me what I ‘think’ is a beautiful banana bread loaf.  I did not open it.  I felt heavily impressed to give it to Chris' wife.   She was so touched, she said her little one LOVES banana bread and she just inhaled it.  And she told me her husband cooked, and she did not.  When she came tonight, she said she had put the Bible verse picture on the wall.  Thank you to the anonymous person who sent it  May the Lord bless your efforts and touch them when they look on the beautiful script on their wall.

Please keep praying for Adam.  Adam knows the Lord; it’s part of what makes him the kind of person he is.  It’s the Lord that has made his heart soft and kind towards others.  It’s not because of his own goodness, but because of Christ’s great love to give Himself in our place.  Adam believes that and has eternal life because of who Christ is, not of anything he has done.  Anyways, I hope you all will be sure you know where you would go if you died tonight.

I posted in the comments yesterday, but appreciate prayers for the return of his cognitive function, also his respiratory function at the right time.   For him to be protected from pneumonia.  His CT scan results are not back, they just took him a little while.  Last night was a busy trauma night, or I should say early this morning. Unfortunately they see more trauma on the weekends.

Please continue in prayer for the other man, Chris, and his wife.  I was able to read the Bible to Chris for awhile, the Word of God is truly amazing, he was calm and his blood pressure dropped while I was reading.   The first portion was from Psalm 139, for both of them.   I wrote down the passages which I want to give to his sweet wife.   They have two young children, so thank you for including them in your prayers.

Thank you all for your prayers.  We are physically weary, but the Lord is with us.  I want you all to know, I am reading your comments, and it lifts me up.

Love in Christ.

UPDATE 8-21-2015

Adam did develop a new brain bleed this morning, but not serious at the moment, they are monitoring it.  Life is very short, and we never know what might happen the next minute to any of us.

If any of his friends or anyone out there, are reading this, that do not know the Lord, or are not SURE of their position in Christ, please know I care about you and want to know you are all right if something happened to you. It’s not about religion, but the simple good news.

Please read this link:

HOW TO BE SURE YOU ARE GOING TO HEAVEN

It is simple, and straightforward, and will tell you how you can know you would be with the Lord if something happened to you.  

As I see all his friends come into the hospital, my heart is moved to great love and compassion for them, I feel like a mother to many more oddly.  I pray that those who do not know the Lord will come to know His great love for them.

We are so thankful for the many praying, it is not prayer that has power, but the Lord is who is powerful, so it is Who we are praying to that makes all the difference.  We love Him, and we trust Him, and know that He is good to us, not matter what we see in this life.

I am the redeemed of the Lord, and I believe so is my son Adam.  The Lord saved me from eternal death and He has delivered me from many afflictions in this life.  When my hungry and thirst soul fainted within me, He as the one Who has satisfied my longing soul with all good things.

I want to praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His many wonderful works towards me, for saving me out of so many distresses is my life.  Please read Psalm 107, and understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.  Today I hope to read Psalm 139 and 63, not only to Adam, but to Chris if his wife will permit me.  And that is if the Lord wishes me too, or leads me elsewhere.  Pray that the Holy Spirit will bring which of His Word I should speak to my remembrance.

ORIGINAL PRAYER REQUEST. (8-20-2015)

My son Adam was in a serious motorcycle accident last night.  He has severe head injuries and is not responding to any commands. I don’t know what happened to Chris.  I know they took him into surgery. They’re not acting as if they are holding much hope out, just appreciate whatever prayers.
