Not long ago, a friend of mine was facing surgery. Two disks in his back and a detached Achilles tendon were creating a lot of pain. After assuring him of my prayers, I was struck with the idea of sending him something in writing to further encourage him. So I sent the following e-mail:
This is what I prayed for you today. Living God, I thank You for Your sovereign control over lifes events. On behalf of Your dear servant, I ask that You would give him deep peace. I pray for the physicians as they apply their medical skills, that You would give them excellent results. May Your healing hand touch him and bring him back into full service for You. In Jesus name. Amen.
The apostle Paul wrote prayers to encourage other believers (Phil. 1:9-11; Col. 1:9-12; 2 Thess. 1:11-12). He wrote to the Ephesians: [I] do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him (1:16-17).
Do you have friends or family members who need your prayers of encouragement right now? Besides letting them know that youre praying for them, try sending a written prayer as well.
Read: Ephesians 1:15-23

Hey! . . . We have a THreeper.
I have noticed over the years that Holloman and Eglin seem to be the bases which perform best in competitions such as “William Tell”.
For some reason a particular squadron, base etc. seems to just keep performing better than others and Holloman always seems to be one of them.
Just 223 miles away from me.

Love Holloman, spent two years there, 1972-1974 when my dad was serving in Vietnam.
Never knew any of the particulars about the base though.
Thanks for the info.
May God bless and keep our troops safe.
I was there visiting on two different weekends last October. Here’s a link to some photos I took of the Freedom Park aviation there:

Hi Kathy! Thanks for the information on Holloman AFB. I spent a lot of time with the 46th Test Group in the late 80’s, early 90’s during my AMRAAM test days. They are a great bunch of folks who will do anything to help you.
