Thanks for the prayers!

I am having problems taking God at His Word, trusting Him and laying down my will. My heart isn't completely open. Please pray I don't walk away that somehow He opens my heart to Him and I allow it to remain that way. I've been needed help for several months and though I know God has been working- My heart and thinking are the problem. I need His mercy and grace to overflow on me and open me up in such a powerful way that I can't doubt any longer and that I want to run to Him.

With all of our struggles I know that if she comes to the Lord and realizes how wonderful he is, our marriage would become better.

I would like to send a prayer request out to the family of Benjamin Ricketts. You are in my prayers, and though I don't know what you are going through, I do have 4 children and I could only imagine the pain and devastation.

Please pray for my step father who is an alocholic and (I think) deeply depressed. Lately, he has been having chest pains and anxiety attacks but refuses to go t0 the doctor. He is too afraid of what they will tell him. He has a high deductible for health insurance and is worried about money. I pray that he will find the Lord and find the strength to overcome his addiction. I also pray he finds himself and realizes that how much his family needs him.

A special prayer request for our family, Michael and Roxanne Novak. Our son, Robert, age 13, has struggled with a heart condition for the past 2 1/2 years. We have taken him all over for care. Here, at the University of Iowa, Rochester, and even Ann Arbor MI (Congenital Children's heart center at Ann Arbor). He has had heart surgery in the past, and has also struggled with seizures and Asperger's (Autism). Due to his illness and an illness I didn't expect in myself (last spring), I lost my job. I have been sick since last spring (09). They originally found CA cells in my esophagus and I had major surgery in Iowa City (May 2009), then was sent to Mayo for a second opinion. I again underwent major surgery July (09), at St. Mary's. When my employer found out I had to have a second surgery, they terminated me. I had worked for a large Hospice organization for 7 years, and was a very dedicated employee. I sought legal help, and found out in Iowa a "no fault" clause exists, so an employer can let an employee go for "no just cause". This past year have been a challenge on my physically and emotionally. My family has struggled financially due to losing my employment, living on my husband's income alone, and all the medical bills. I have continued to be very ill and in and out of the hospital. I have been diagnosed with Polymiotosis at the age of 39. Even though we are going through a lot, I refuse to be angry at God. My relationship is what keeps me going day to day. I appreciate all the prayers and concern shown to our family. We have Robert (age 13), twins (Andy and Emily, age 10), and Patty (age 7). Please keep my family in your prayers. We have attended Heartland Vineyard sporadically in the past. We've always enjoyed the services and the love we've received from all of you. Thank You and God Bless. Roxanne & Michael Novak

I ask for healing prayers on myself. The other day I was flipping my matress and it ended up being too heavy. To make a long story short, I hurt myself. The right side of my neck, my right shoulder and right side on my ribs are seriously sore. I have back problems to begin with but I dont have any medical insurance so I can't go to the doctor. So I ask that for the Lord's healing hands on me. Thank you!

I am asking for everyone to pray for my ex-boyfriend Jimmy. A year ago, he lost his 13 yrs old son to a disease that John had been battling for 5 years. Part of what John had was hereditary and Jimmy blames himself for that. Also the night John had died, he had asked Jimmy if he could sleep with him but Jimmy had told him no due to John was sick and the bathroom was right across from his room. When Jimmy woke the next morning, he went to get John up and ready for a doc appt and found John dead. Jimmy blames himself for that also...he feels that if he had just let John sleep with him that night, then John would still be alive. After that, Jimmy really pushed me away and it ended up causing our relationship to end. Jimmy's way of dealing with past hurts, the loss of his mother to brain cancer a year before his son passed, and the death of his son...is to shove it all inside and to build walls. I am really worried about him! He is not a Christian. I have spoken to him about talking to someone and have even found someone through church who is willing to talk to Jimmy, but so far he has refused. I keep praying for him everyday...keep lifting him up to God. And I ask that everyone will help by doing the same. He is a great guy who is suffering so much. Please keep him in your prayers that one day with the Lord's help, he can let go of all the pain and hurt, tear down his walls, and give his life over to the Lord. Thank you!

to pray for Ryan Sanderson, I used to be a drug user and quit many years ago, but just found out recently that my drug usage has caught up to me. I now have Hepatitis c and they are not sure how far along i am now. I have two children and a loving wife and I don't know what to expect, I don't have health insurance, because I cannot afford it so now I have to wait until the state gets back to me to find out whether or not they are going to assist me. If not then there is nothing I can do because the procedure cost too much and specialist will not treat you unless you have health care, i just want the church to pray for me and my family if they could! I am only 28 years old and hope that i can live to be much older and watch my children grow up! Thank You Ryan Sanderson
