Family of God: Re: [FamilyofGod] URGENT Prayer for Leimomi!

Hi Jolene. I'm praying that God will move in her behalf and that God will send some to comfort her and encourage her. Jolene, you are a real testimony to not giving up even though things seem to be stacked up against you. You remind me of this old blind guy that helped me roof his two story house. He didn't actually get on the roof but he did carry the roofing up the ladder and handed it to me. Iv'e always remembered that when I was thinking that I was having it hard. I believe God uses us in our weaknesses to show that our strength is from Him and not of ourselves.

Hear, O Israel! Yahweh is our God, Yahweh is one!

In Christ, George...

Subject: [FamilyofGod] URGENT Prayer for Leimomi!

FG brethren, I just had to pause for a moment amid my devotions and breakfast preps to ask if some of you can pray immediately for a dear sister in the faith from my church named Leimomi (pronounced lay-mow-mee) . She is divorced, mother of several grown children, unemployed, and housbebound for nearly three years because of terrible fibrymyalgia, chronic pain syndrome (I don't know its name but it's separate from fibromyalgia) and other chronic illnesses. She can barely take care of herself and her home (which is falling apart because of the recent floods). Her doctors and specialists have already given up on treating her because none of the meds or procedures they've tried on her for the past several years have decreased her symptoms. Tragically, I received word last night that she's about ready to give up all hope and take her life. "Why live if the body-wide pain won't go away, if I'm too weak to care for myself and my home, if the doctors say there's absolutely no hope, if nobody from church visits me anymore except a couple of folks here and there." is her reasoning. Thank you'all for praying for Leimomi! I'm trying to get through to her as I'm writing this through prayer and am making plans to somehow visit her soon--even if I must find my own way around her rundown place as a blind traveler going it alone...

in Christ my True Everything,
Jolene.

The LORD is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him.--Psalm 28:7 (NASB)
