ASKING FOR PRAYERS FOR SWEET LITTLE LIZA

 I haven't done a 

PRAYER REQUEST 

in a long, long time.

However, one of the blogs I follow,

Tom The Backroads Traveler

has a little granddaughter named 

Liza.


                                       This was taken just before her surgery.

Liza is just 12 years old and was

diagnosed with oral cancer.

This past week she had major surgery

and faces a long road of ongoing recovery.

Tom, and his family,

 need all the support 

they can get.

You know as a parent, or grandparent,

you just feel totally helpless

when something like this happens.

You wish you could 'fix' life and

make it all go away.

We can't do that---but---

what we can do is

PRAY.

If you have access to a prayer chain

please add sweet little Liza's name.

If you remember, 

my hubby had 

Stage 4 head/neck cancer

 and was

given a 3% chance of survival.

You all put him on prayer chains

around the world and 

3 months later,

with radiation and chemo,

he was cancer free and remains

cancer free going on 9 years.

I believe in the power of prayer

and I know many of you do, too.

So-please pray!

Thank you so much to all of you

that have been so faithful following me-

even though

I have not been nearly as active 

blogging

these past couple of years.

Y'ALL ARE THE BEST.

  21. Oh Heavenly Father,

    We come before You with hearts full of faith and compassion, lifting up Liza to You as she faces the challenge of oral cancer. We thank You for Your unfailing love and presence in her life, and we trust in Your power to bring healing and comfort.

    Lord, we ask for Your healing touch upon Liza's body. We know that You are the Great Physician, and we pray for Your miraculous intervention in her health. Please guide the doctors and medical team with wisdom and skill as they care for her.

    We also pray for Liza's emotional and spiritual well-being. Surround her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and fill her heart with hope and strength. May she feel Your presence with her every step of the way, knowing that You will never leave her nor forsake her (Hebrews 13:5).

    Father, we ask that You provide comfort and support to Liza's family and loved ones. Give them the strength to stand by her side and the faith to trust in Your goodness, even in difficult times.

    We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness. We place Liza in Your loving hands, confident in Your perfect plan and timing.

    In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

  38. Prayers and Healing Energy for that precious Child. Your DH's Healing and Recovery are a powerful Testimony. The Man had a catastrophic Accident and TBI on both sides of his Brain. They told us it was Hopeless and we refused to receive that prognosis. They sent him Home saying nothing could be done and he'd be a Vegetable, good luck with that and we hope it all works out. We Nursed him and Rehabilitated him ourselves and it is a long Journey but Miracles do still happen and nobody is Dead 'til God says so. We'll all stand in Agreement for this Family to receive their Miracle and the Child's Recovery, it's a lot to go thru even for an Adult.
