Prayer Requests:
6/3 – Puddleglum in Pennsyltucky asked for prayers for his friend’s wife, who was diagnosed with breast
cancer.
6/8 – Sharkman posted about a girl who could use prayers. She is 7 years old, and just had her third
open heart surgery and a pacemaker put in, because she was born with her heart reversed in her chest.
Additional surgeries will be coming in her future.
6/8 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers as she considers running for a spot on their local township
committee. She is a complete neophyte in running for office, so she said she needs all the prayer
support she can get!
6/10 – Jewells asked for prayers to continue for her niece, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer, plus
they found 3 cancerous nodes in her lungs. Jewells herself is still going through radiation and it’s “kicking
her butt”. Then she will have more chemo.
6/17 Update - Jewells’ niece had her port put in last Thursday and began chemo and radiation on
Tuesday. Jewells said how scared her niece is.
6/24 Update – Jewell’s niece is not handling the chemo well. She has been very sick since last Tuesday.
Jewells was also sick most of last week, after radiation and chemo.
6/10 - Farmer Bob posted to the comments. He sends his thanks to the Horde for their prayers and says
he’s still working to become the fit, fun, romantic and playful husband worth having that Mrs. Bob
deserves. He has lost a lot of weight and still has more to go. So far she has agreed to a weekly “couple
talk time” which will consist of prayer, a devotional reading, and light/positive conversation. Continued
prayers for him and his wife are appreciated.
6/24 – Farmer Bob and Mrs. Bob had their first couple “talk time” (virtual) on Wednesday and it went
very well. He asked that we keep praying for them. On the fitness front, he has lost 65 pounds so far.
6/10 – Joe Kidd asked for prayers for his brother Mike, who needs prayers for healing of his stomach
cancer that he has battled for years, and also a sizeable blood clot in his leg. The cancer was retreating
until recently, but a new PET scan showed disappointing results. He was really hoping to be done with
chemo. At age 65, he’s not sure how much fight he has left in him.
6/20 – J requested a prayer for her younger son Matt, whose seizure symptoms are returning again after
20 years of normalcy. So far he has not had a full-blown seizure, and the doctors are working to adjust
his medication. But he can feel them in the background and they are interfering with his ability to do his
job. Also, his second child is due in September.

6/24 – Fox2! asked for prayers as he had spend the week in the hospital with AFIB.
6/24 – Screaming in Digital asked for prayers for an old friend, who was fighting cancer. The latest news
was not good, but he is still receiving treatment. And she asked for an unspoken request for herself.
6/24 – RetSgtRN asked for prayers for her son-in-law, Kenny, who at 37 is battling acute leukemia. He
beat lymphoma 2 years ago. He has 2 boys, ages 3 and 7. He is also a police officer in a very large city
and fortunately his boss has been supportive. Thanks to all for your prayers!
6/27 – Catch Thirty-Thr33’s father will return home from the hospital, and he will be visited by a hospice
nurse twice a week. He is 82 now and has been fighting lung cancer for 18 months now. Please pray for
him.

 Romans 8:26-27
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but
the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows
the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
