Pregnancy
By Esther FriesenI would like to ask for prayer for a friend that is expecting, she is having health problems and mentally struggling. She has been having extreme pain for unknown reason that she has been to the ER several times. They found blood clots where she had placenta separation. The baby is also very small. Also pray for her mental health as she is going through alot of depression. She is having relationship problems with her family and feels very alone. She is having this baby alone and plans to give it up for adoption. I can't even imagine her pain right now.
She is a believer, but struggles like the rest of us. I just pray that God reveals his love and truth to her and that she sees his hand at work in her life.
A long battle.
By Esther FriesenA friend of mine passed away last night after a long battle of pancreatic cancer, can you please be in prayer for her husband, kids ,and grandkids as they grieve. Her name was Carol and her husbands name is John and they were the neatest couple and a real ministry to others the way God worked through them during this time.
Thank you Father for Carol's life and the blessing she was to everyone, I ask that you give John and his kids the grace to go through this loss. Thank you Lord for your faithfulness always.
Pregnancy needs prayer
By Esther FriesenRavencrest Bible School Mission Trips
By Esther FriesenDear Heavenly Father, thank you for this Bible school that we are part of and for the work that you do here. Lord I want to lift up the staff and students that are going on these trips, one to Europe (Hungry and Romania), and the other to Houston street missions, and Galveston. Lord I ask for protection as they travel, and Father I know that satan would love to discourage them attack them as they reach out to do your work, I ask that they keep their eyes on you and for protection as satan tries to oppress. Lord I pray for unity in these groups, that they work together for your glory, that they encourage one another, that they remember why they are there together and that is to share the one and only Truth. Father I especially pray for the leaders in this group as they plan and lead that they keep focused on you Father and to trust that you already have everything under control. I pray for dicernment as they lead and deal with people from those places, I pray for the leaders that are driving that you keep them safe as they escort these students over a thousand miles away. Lord ultimately your will be done. Thank you Lord for this oppurtunity for the students of Ravencrest, and may their time be blessed.
Prayer
By Esther FriesenDo not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:6
Father let us not carry burdens by ourselves but to bring them before the throne and to let our brothers and sisters pray and petition on our behalf. We are a body, a whole, one cannot function without the other. I pray that we are not man-consious but God-consious, that we don't worry about what others may think of our prayers, and as the ones looking at the prayers and praying that we build eachother up and support eachother no matter how big or how little the request or praise may be. In your Holy name we give this request to you.

By Esther FriesenI also lift up my friend Rachel that is in India right now, for protection for her and the group she is with. Lord I pray for all the christians in India from the attacks on them. Father there must be your work going on there for the evil one to react and we pray for your power to overcome this darkness, so your light can shine to the people of India.
Health
By Esther FriesenAlso keep my other son in your prayers as he is feeling very guilty about helping with the broken arm. He is very hard on himself, even though we want him to learn his lesson, we also want him to forgive himself. We will let you know the update tomorrow.
