Hi friends,

Here is a prayer request from my very dear friend and brother Seth McRae... he and Holli (his wife) are going through some tough decisions right now as they are preparing for a new baby due this fall. Please Pray for Holli's health as she goes through her first pregnancy and for Seth's sanity... just kidding about that part:)
We love you guys and we will be praying for you both during this exciting time in your life!

Prayer for April 15th

So just a couple quick prayer requests; please spend just a minute praying for these, that would be awesome! and if you have a prayer request please send me an email at timtoyota2000@yahoo.com Thank you to everyone who prays.

The first request is kinda generic but in a way I feel is necessary. Today is tax day and for many this is a day of financial hurt and of financial blessing. Please think of everyone you can and say a quick prayer for financial blessing all of them...

The second prayer request is for me (Tim); I really have been feeling stressed about my job at Lithia. We have a new General Manager (Jason), and in a way I really feel like he is purposely trying to make things difficult/extra challenging for a few of us and his intentions of making us better maybe good but in turn it is doing more harm than good. Please pray for revelation from God that He might show me what He would have me do, either stay and keep on going on at Lithia or if He would like me to move on. Please pray for patience and clarity. Thank you so much.

April 14th

Hi everyone! I have a prayer request from Joe Tweton. He has an interview with Coke tomorrow at 11am. Please pray that the employer sees favor in Joe and that the interview goes really well.

Saturday before Easter!

As we get close to Easter please be praying for all of the lives that will come to know Christ! That is the biggest prayer request we have!

Please send requests in if you have them!

Prayer request April 4th

Hi everyone,

This request comes in from my mom, Miriam MacDermot. Her dog, Sundae, is getting spayed this week and she would like you to pray that she goes through a smooth surgery with no complications, and a swift recovery. Thank you so much for your prayers and all you do.

Wednesday - April 1

Hi Everyone,

Here are the prayer requests that have been gathered this far for the week.

First off is I have been hearing of a lot of sickness still going around... Pastor Chuck of the Gresham Vineyard who is a dear friend of mine is sick as well there are a few in that congregation that are. Please pray for healing.

A very good friend of mine, Joe Tweton is looking to God to help him with his Finances, and I'm finding myself in that same boat. That said, we are all praying in faith that God will provide just like he talks about in Matthew 6... "Lord God I pray that Your Divine order would be established and maintained in all of mine and Joe's financial affairs!" Jesus says in Matthew 9:29 "...according to your faith let it be to you." And we accept that in the Name of Jesus!

My good friend Matt Johnson has a job that he works a graveyard shift, he needs a better job that works more normal hours so it will be easier on his family.

Please be praying for me as I am really struggling at work. I know I have Gods favor in my life but just recently I feel that at work it is a different story. Pray that my eyes would be open to opportunity and that God would guide, govern, protect, and allow me to prosper at work.

"Let Your mercies come also to me, O Lord- Your salvation according to Your Word so shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in Your Word." Psalm 119:41-42


The last request came in today from Bruce H. at Living Hope Church:

We have a job ahead of us. It's time, once again, to pray for Easter. How, you ask? There are several things that come to mind. First, the big tent is coming today. Let's ask Papa to provide strength for those involved in putting it up. Also safety and wisdom. Also ask for the process to be orderly and peaceful. Then, after it's done, ask the Lord to fill the tent with His Glory!

We want the atmosphere of heaven to fill the tent. Begin to talk to Papa about who should come. There are many people who have an appointment with God under the big top. Most just don't know it yet. Our part in prayer is to ask God to get them there. And then, once they're there, for the Holy Spirit to draw them into the Kingdom.

Also, no less important, let's ask the Lord for an accident free Easter, shall we? Let's ask Him for an Easter series filled with the Joy of the Lord! Ask Him to protect the equipment. Let's even ask for great weather for the weekend. Finally, starting now, let's ask Holy Spirit to pour out His sweet Presence on the staff. We need Him now as we work on the process of getting everything ready. We know there is a very real enemy trying hard to wreck our attitudes or anything else he can influence.
Our part is to simply call heaven into the midst of everything we're doing.

Amen?
