Prayer for Connor

Come meet Connor and his parents this Saturday morning at 8am at Lake Pointe Church (Rockwall) in the Hospitality Center.

From Connor's Mom:

For the journal entry today, I am going to post a prayer for Connor that was written by my friend, Mary Kim Gray (another parent at our school, PCA). She so eloquently captures our needs. She is also referencing the great news about our friend, Cody Novak. After his surgery on Monday, he was pronounced "Cancer Free." Praise God!

We thank you for the great news about Cody. We are thankful for your deliverance for him. We ask and beseech you that you would provide the same supernatural deliverance to Connor. Thank you for increasing our faith and showing us again what you can do. We are frail, Lord, and need your continual reminders that you are an active, caring God who will go to any extreme to care for your children. We ask that you would bless Connor with a clean bill of health. We ask that you would intervene through the treatment and stop the cancer. We ask that you would continue to direct Joy and Tait as they look for treatment options. At the same time, we ask that Jesus Himself would touch Connor's body and restore him to perfect health on this earth. Please continue to protect his organs from the chemo--and his digestive system from the tumor. We ask once again for the tumor's total eradication.

Where Joy and Tait may be feeling frustration at not having an answer and knowing exactly what to do, we pray for you to give them supernatural peace. We pray for you to guide their encounters and their access to information. Please direct them, Lord, and let them know that you are leading them. Make this very clear to them, as you increase their faith in your provision of divine direction at exactly the right time. Give them quiet spirits and quiet moments in their busy days, so they can hear you speaking. Speak more loudly than usual, as they have a strong need for your guidance. Confirm their choices multiple times, so they will know that you are indeed leading them. Give them hope and strength in the midst of this battle that has been long and arduous. "Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10) Continue to uphold this precious family as they are strengthened by you.

I pray that the voice of the enemy would be silenced. I am sure that as Tait and Joy and Connor bring glory to you that Satan is determined to try to win some battles. I pray for resistance and enlightenment as to the devil's schemes. Silence his efforts to bring doubt--bind him from any work he is trying to do--and bring glory to yourself through the manner in which Tait, Joy, and Connor handle this trial. Please bring this trial to an end swiftly and let Connor live a long and fruitful life--always bringing glory to your name. Continue to give breath and life to his body on a day-by-day basis. Continue to call Connor in righteousness and help him to open blind eyes and free captives from their prisons as a result of his testimony of your goodness to him. "This is what God the LORD says—he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it: 'I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.'" (Isaiah 42: 5-7)

We ask this in the name of the One who has taken Connor's hand and is always walking with him, Amen

We continue to look for the next step, as we believe God will provide a way. PLEASE PRAY FOR TAIT, CONNOR AND ME AS WE GIVE OUR TESTIMONY THIS SATURDAY MORNING AT LAKEPOINTE CHURCH IN ROCKWALL. Pray we will offer hope, strength and glory to God to those who listen. We are so excited about giving our testimony, because Revelations 12:11 says "They overcame him (Satan) by the blood of the Lamb and the words of their testimony." So, here we go. I'm ready for some "overcoming!"
