09/20/2020 – Inital posting – Prayer Board: Anderson_Harris_Kology_Miller
Abba, Father : This is not a prayer board just for these families, for we are one body in Christ through Your grace:
With prayers of Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication, we have a foundational prayer that undergirds all others posted here: Holy Spirit, Renew our spirit so that we may fulfill our missions to Your kingdom. We are saved only through faith in you Yeshua (Jesus), that faith in of itself comes only through your grace as well. Keep within us that insatiable yearning to witness Your good news of salvation to lost souls, for they are future Christians. We are mere messengers that witness Your amazing grace.
We thank you for “The Return”, our global and national day of prayer, fasting and repentance on Sept 25th and Sept 26th. Holy Spirit, sweep across the land with Your breath of life and truth! (reference: thereturn.org)
Les & Pat Anderson: They are the patriarch and matriarch of Anderson clan. We thank you O Lord, for bringing them together through your divine providence, for it was meant to be. (Your plan!) We thank you for keeping them healthy and safe through this Covid crises. Continue to keep them in your loving arms through the hardships of everyday life. Lift your curtain O Lord, giving them that glimpse, momentary that it might be, the unfathomable and never-ending fellowship of joy that we look forward to in Your kingdom. May they have that chance to visit Europe with their friends as they planned before this crisis.
Lord, be with Joel David in his ongoing hard battle with CTEPH, until you take him home to be with you. He has outlived his doctor’s even optimistic forecasts, so, we still pray for miracles. We praise You, for he has been and is a Christian warrior for Your kingdom.
We pray for Clif’s and Len’s mother, thank you for their faith and their health, O Lord. Like the sprint home breaking the tape at the finish line, keep them strong in mentorship and joy-filled fellowship within their families. As well, with Les and Pat.
Thank you O Lord for connecting Amy with strong Christian warrior friends that are instrumental messengers in your healing process, setting her free from the two decades of anxiety and depression. Thank you for keeping her employed and engaged through the worst of times. Thank you for her caring and supportive supervisor at M.D. Anderson over the years.
Thank you for keeping Emily safe and active in her work ministry, caring for Covid patients in ICU hospitals. Put your healing hands on her O Lord, to free her from her panic attacks that surfaced within this crises . (Dad’s note: The attacks have never occcurred at work , or even commuting back to forth. But rather, in rare opportunities for social contact with loved ones.)
Thank you as well, Lord , for keeping Garret safe in a dangerous job and for your guidance as Garret and Emily prepare for their wedding on February 27th.
As cousin Lois expressed to me in an amazing spontaneous telephone call witness years ago, as she was in the midst of a hard battle with breast cancer a 2nd time: She put up a post it on her bathroom mirror so she would reflect and prayer on it each and every morning that read : “Lord, I don’t know why you are taking me through this again, but I will intentionally choose to give You the glory through it!” Thank you that she is still with us Lord to help us fight for Your name!
Semper Fi; Soli Deo Gloria!
