Prayers for Jay.
I keep this on my FR homepage and it seems appropriate...
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Joining in prayer with the prayer warriors for healing and strength for Prime Choice and those that love him.
+ Continuing in prayer ...
Thanks very much for the alert! I'll keep him in my prayers for sure, and will check this thread for updates.
Heavenly Father, we return to thank You for the prayers of the saints ... may our petitions clothe Jay in healing ... may they soothe him in trial ... may they encourage him in this hour. Surround him and his family with the comfort of Your Presence ... touch him, O God, and restore him, we pray, in the Name of Jesus, Amen ...
May All of His Prayers Be Answered
A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two survivors were able to make it to the shore of a small deserted island.
With no idea what else to do they agreed they had no recourse but to pray to God. However, they were divided as to whose prayer would be more effectual. They agreed finally to divide the island between them and stay each to his own side of the island.
The first thing they prayed for was food The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the island, and thus he ate. The other man's parcel of the island remained barren, and thus he remained hungry.
After a couple of days the first man became lonely so he prayed for a wife.
The next day another ship wrecked and the lone survivor, a woman swam to his side of the island. The other man remained without a companion.
Next, the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day all of these miraculously appeared. However the other man still had nothing.
Finally the first man prayed for rescue for he and his wife. In the morning there was a ship docked on his side of the island. He and his wife boarded the ship and left the other man behind. As the ship was pulling away from the island a voice from heaven boomed out, "Why are you leaving that other man on the island?"
The man replied, "Well, Lord, I figured the blessings I prayed for were mine, and since apparently none of his prayers were answered he must not be worthy."
The Lord rebuked him saying, "Oh my son you are so mistaken, for you see he only had one prayer, which I answered fully. If not for that you would not have received the richness of blessings that you have, you owe him everything."
"Tell me," the man asked, "what did he pray for that I should give him anything?"
The Lord replied, "He prayed that all of your prayers would be answered."
