Hey everyone, please pray for my husband Shane. He's in great shape, has a healthy heart and rides for a elite amateur biking team for exercise. Last night on a 40-mile group ride, he had a heart attack. He experienced chest pain and shortness of breath. That's it. He just had a good physical one month ago. Two years ago, his heart showed 0 blockage, although his blood pressure was a little elevated. God preserved him--because his chest was hurting, he slowly finished the ride & drove home. Our son Brent (in clinicals for PT) took his vitals; I gave him aspirin, and after a lot of persuading, I took him to the hospital. His 2 EKGs were good, but his blood showed cardio enzymes. So they called in the cardiologist, who immediately assembled a heart cath team at 1:00 am. They worked for 1.5 hours to ultimately find the blockage in his main artery and put in a stent. He said Shane's main artery was 95% blocked--that's the widow-maker artery. He probably would've die...

Dear Lord, You are not worried. You are not uninterested. You still wrap your hands around your children and draw us close, even when events seem to say otherwise. Give us peace, comfort, and healing during this time of physical and emotional unrest. Heal those affected by the virus. Multiply the time, effort, and supplies of those in the healthcare industry. I pray that people will safeguard themselves, respect others, and be patient with all the turbulence and unrest caused by a pandemic. I pray for all who worry and suffer to search for you while you can be found. Lord, may we be found by you. You are good, you are merciful, you are gracious, you are forgiving, and you are healing. Heal our wounds -- the ones inside our hearts , where we stray from you and live for ourselves, by ourselves. Most of all, we need healing from fear. I pray for your love to consume us. Love drives fear away because there is no fear in love. Whatever you do with v...

Dear Father-Healer, Pour out your mercy, grace, comfort, and miraculous healing over this child who is sick. Death and harm are horrible thoughts and horrible possibilities. Except for you. Except for your power and your perfect will. Help me to believe in your goodness and love. Why must bad things happen to good people? Why is the world so full of heartache and grief? Why do you seem to withdraw when grief overwhelms us like an angry ocean? And most of all--why must terrible things happen to the most innocent of all-- to the unborn, the children, the young, the sweet and kind ones among us? Illness is heart-wrenching for families of children who suffer-- it's unfair, tramatizing, terrifying, heart-breaking. You can heal anyone and anything, so why don't you always do it? Could you do it here? Could you please heal this child? Would you please perform a miracle? More importantly-- Show us your glory. Change us and help us feel you close instea...
