~My Cousin~

I would like for you to pray for my cousin, Tanya. She is very concerned with the election, (which I know we all are.) She says she can't decide who to vote for. She says she really doesn't want to vote for McCain, because she doesn't want another 4 yrs of Bush. She really doesn't want to vote for Obama, she thinks he is in "Sheeps clothing". I have been talking to her this evening about this but pray that I will tell her the right things. Her Mom and Dad are voting Obama and are upset that she is even having problems deciding. She told her Mom that whenever she thinks of Obama, she gets a sick feeling in her gut. Her Mom told her that was because he is "black". Tanya has nothing against black people nor do I. Please pray that she makes the right decision.

~When I~

"When I am down, He lifts me up. When I am sad, He makes me glad. When I feel lonely, He covers me with His love. When I feel like know one cares, He is always there."

Here lately the devil has really been fighting me and I can't take much more, so it seems. I know in times like this, God is there for me. Sometimes it doesn't seem that way, but I know deep down that it is. God always brings a certain song to my mind, when I feel this way.

Jesus is all the world to me: My life, my joy, my all.
He is my strength, from day to day; without Him I would fall.
When I am sad, to Him I go; No other one can cheer me so.
When I am sad, He makes me glad. He's my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, My Friend in trials sore.
I go to Him for blessings, and He gives them o'er and o'er.
He sends the sunshine and the rain; He sends the harvest's golden grain:
Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain. He's my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, And true to Him I'll be.
Oh, how could I this Friend deny, when He's so true to me?
Following Him I know I'm right. He watches o'er me day and night.
Following Him by day and night, He's my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me; I want no better friend.
I trust Him now; I'll trust Him when, Life's fleeting days shall end.
Beautiful life with such a Friend; Beautiful life that has no end.
Eternal life, eternal joy, He's my Friend.

My prayer is to be more like Him, and to trust Him for everything, no matter how rough life may get. Please just pray for me.

~PRAY~

I know that it seems like all I ever get done doing, is asking you to pray. This time, my Mom's nephew, passed away on Sunday evening. He was in his mid 60's. It was kind of unexpected. Sunday morning he woke up and wasn't sure if he was having a heart attack or a stroke. Took him to the hospital, and had to have surgery. One of his heart valves exploded and was in surgery 8 or 9 hours. This all happened because He did not take His blood pressure medicine like He should have. Needless to say he did not make it. As far as I know, he was a Christian. Please just pray for his wife, Betty and daughters, Lori and Tonya. He has one sister and several brothers. He does have a big family. As far as I know they are not showing him, that is what he wanted. Thank you for the prayers.

~PLEASE PRAY~

I would like for you to please pray for my Nephew Timothy. I cannot go into detail about Him,, but He REALLY needs prayer. I can tell you that He is not a christian, and needs God. Right now my heart is breaking for Him. He is the sweetest boy and has gotten into some trouble in the past, and it seems that the devil is working overtime on Him.

~PRAYER REQUEST~

I would like for you to remember a girl from my Church in prayer. Ashley H. (9 yrs old) just found out that she has type 1 diabetes. She was in Children's Hospital in the ICU on Thursday. Her sugar count was 300. She is going to have insulin shots 4 times a day for 1 year, then she has to be reevaluated. She is just a sweetheart. Please pray for her and her family. Thank you.
