.WHISNews21 Prayer Line and thoughts for Wednesday May 16, By Marty Martel.

.

FROM: Carol Lee Cooper

1. Baby Neela was born November 29 2012 at 24 weeks but was a bit small – about a 23 week size. She has had a very difficult time – but has had some wonderful prayer warriors.

Tomorrow morning at 7AM she is going to have heart surgery. She has a small hole that needs to be closed just like Josie had.

Please pray for the heart surgery that takes place today and pray for the LORD to heal Neela. She has kidney stones – but they can do nothing to help her at this time. She has an issue with reflux so has an feeding issue – she has a feeding tube. She has high blood pressure and too much fluid in her lungs. But, today she rested quietly and comfortably in my arms while we rocked and I prayed.

She currently weighs 7 pounds 14 oz – a huge growth since changing hospitals. She has a long way to go. Chad is military so he drives back and forth to Fort Campbell KY.

Thank you for joining me in praying for the LORD to bring health to Neela and to meet the needs of this precious family. God bless you – Joann Tallman

Yesterday’s tornado in Texas was so devastating to so many families in Granbury, TX and the surrounding area, needs our immediate prayer lines.  Please pray to our Blessed Jesus that he watches over all of his children who have lost their homes, those who were injured, and I believe there was one fatality at this time. 

Prayer for Jodi Arias and her family and the family of Travis Alexander.   This is a heart wrenching time in the lives of both families.  One has lost a member of the family, and one might lose their family member for a crime committed.

Lastly, my test results were in my estimation very good.  I will be having a procedure done for my kidney.  It will be scheduled for about a month from now.  I will get my final results when they run tests on Friday, but I wanted each of you to know that I know that yesterday’s results would not have happened without prayers and prayer lines, and God Bless Each of You for keeping me in your prayers.  You cannot know how much it means to me, and I can attest that without the prayer lines, maybe the test would not have been what I wanted to hear.  Thank you, thank you, thank you and I know the Blessed Savior listens intently when we pray to him for his blessing and guidance.

HIS PEACE WITHIN: There’s a quiet place inside me that lurks within my soul, Like a gently moving ocean that treads within control. And as I look about me, I take in all the sights Of others who are searching for abstract, unreached heights. And here is where they stumble while looking at the stone. Instead of seeing mountains, they see the rock alone. Yet others boost of great things, and yet, within are null. They have not seen this ocean that lurks below the gull. And some strive toward tomorrow believing in yesterdays, And gather up the morals they’ve found along the way. And so I feel His presence in observing all I see And bask within the peace my God has given unto me – Sharon L. Longo
