A Prayer Request and a praise report...
For little Nikolas, the 3 year old son of a friend at Church, who has RSV, a viral infection that is especially threatening for children with asthma, like Nik.
He has had it for several days, and is still very sick.
He doesn't see the Doctor again until Friday.
Please pray that he will get the help he needs and that the LORD will touch him and heal him.
His Mother has been holding him and sleeping sitting up all this time. He can't breathe well lying down.
The Praise.
I have been concerned about my blood pressure in the last few days, and my Doctor just telelphoned with some recent lab reports(yes she works all hours..) and I was able to talk to her tonight and it was a Relief and Blessing.
The LORD is Good.
Be still and Know that I Am God. Ps 46:10
I Am the LORD that healeth thee. Ex 15:26
Thank you LORD that you hear and answer us. Please do not delay.
Many wait upon your Word to them, and your guiding touch, and your hand to deliver.
We know you hear us when we cry out to you.
You are the Merciful and Faithful God who redeems and restores and cares for all our needs.
We are your people and the sheep of your pasture.
We praise you for your Loving Kindness which is better than Life.
I ask all this with confidence, in Jesus' Wonderful Name.
So be it.

God of my life, to Thee I call;
Afflicted, at Thy feet I fall;
When the great water floods prevail
Leave not my trembling heart to fail!
Friend of the friendless and the saint,
Where should I lodge my deep complaint?
Where but with Thee, Whose open door
Invites the helpless and the poor!
Did ever mourner plead with Thee,
And Thou refuse that mourner’s plea?
Does not the Word still fixed remain
That none shall seek Thy face in vain?
That were a grief I could not bear,
Didst Thou not hear and answer prayer;
But a prayer hearing, answering God
Supports me under every load.
Fair is the lot that’s cast for me!
I have an Advocate with Thee;
They whom the world caresses most,
Have no such privilege to boast.
Poor thou I am, despised, forgot,
Yet God, my God, forgets me not;
And he is safe, and must succeed,
For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead.
--William Cowper
Prayers for little Nikolas. My 15 month-old grandson has used a nebulizer, when necessary, since he was 9 months old. It made a big difference in handling his asthma.
Good news, glad to hear that.
My hands have broken out again and I'm having to use the cream tonight, so can't type much more until it dries. Remind me not to go to the football thread again.
Hope today is the first day of a very Blessed and Joyous New Year for all our Prayer Room FReepers!
"Come, everyone! Clap your hands!
Shout to God with joyful praise!
For the Lord Most High is awesome.
He is the great King of all the earth.
He subdues the nations before us,
Putting our enemies beneath our feet.
He chose the Promised Land as our inheritance,
The proud possession of Jacob’s descendants, whom he loves.
God has ascended with a mighty shout.
The Lord has ascended with trumpets blaring.
Sing praises to God, sing praises;
Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
For God is the King over all the earth.
Praise him with a psalm!
God reigns above the nations,
Sitting on his holy throne.
The rulers of the world have gathered together
With the people of the God of Abraham.
For all the kings of the earth belong to God.
He is highly honored everywhere."
Thank You, our Master, for this Time of Blessing, Petition, and Praise. We Honor You for Your Goodness and Your Holy Name. Glory to You, King Jesus, for the Praise Report of Thy Servant. We Stand Together with Bowed Heads and Hearts for Little Nikolas, Asking for Thy Healing Touch. We Pray Thee, Papa-Father, Provide for his Every Need. Strengthen his Dear Mother, and Work Out Thy Wonders in their Lives. Wrap All Thy Children in Heavenly Grace, and be Exalted throughout the Eternities to Come. We Love You, our Shepherd, our God, Praying in Your Son's Name, amen.
Good words. Praying with you in thanksgiving for your answer, and in hope for Nikolas.
