“Please pray for a woman who is having a lot of pain with her knees and immense fatigue because of it. She is going to Fargo this week to meet with a doctor and hopefully find some relief from her pain. Pray too for her brother that the Lord would bring Christians into his life and he will see the need to have a relationship with the Lord.”

“I’m asking for prayer to deal with the loneliness and isolation I’m experiencing. I am extremely lonely. I’m not used to that. I used to be a social butterfly. I’ve lived in GF for a year. I have been going to Hope as long. I came to GF not knowing anyone but felt I was called here because it was within driving distance of Winnipeg where my elderly mother, who has dementia,resides. I knew it would be difficult to get to know people because I was not working and because getting out was difficult due to extremely arthritic knees (which is why I retired when I did). I am used to moving to new places and jumping in headfirst. I would get involved in a church, join MeetUp groups, and of course, I was working. Well working isn’t an option right now. MeetUp has but one group here and it’s not one for me. I started going to a couple of support groups at church (I think one is no longer going) and try to make it out Wednesdays and Sundays but it seems that apart from polite pleasantries and greetings, and during discussions at the support group & on Wednesdays, I speak with no one. I’m not used to this. I know part of the issue is that I can’t get around easily, but I would like to be invited to join folks for lunch or coffee. Being a single, childless senior (ugh I hate calling myself a senior LOL) I’m not one of the typicals one finds at church. When I first moved here, I knew that this time of year wasn’t great for getting involved, and people reminded me of that and said it would happen in the fall. Well, a year later, I was told the same thing. I would like to establish some friendships here but I’m not sure how. My usual ways aren’t working. I’m a fun, nice person and I’m sure y’all are too.”

“Please be in prayer for a gentleman after meeting with his surgeon today. He is scheduled for surgery Monday for possible Colon and Rectal cancer. Pray the surgery goes as planned and there are no unexpected complications after having to remove a large part of the colon. Pray also for guidance for the medical team, that a CT scan will show nothing has spread beyond those two areas and for God’s peace during this uncertain time.”
