If You Are Praying...and Update

So many are taking some time this morning to stop and pray for Tricia and Nathan as she undergoes tests today.

If you are and would like to post a comment of encouragement to them, here's the place to do it. You might include your location as well.

Thanks so much.

Rick Lawrenson

Tricia's PET scan was delayed until 2PM this afternoon, which will bump her biopsy until Thursday. She will still be admitted into the hospital today.

I also thought the "map" idea of where the prayers are originating was great. So I started it. But it's too huge a job! If anyone else has the time and wants to take a stab at it, please go for it. Here's a site that you could use: http://pininthemap.com/.

Mayhem And Miracles said...

Our dearest Heavenly Father, thank you so much for the opportunity to become your child when I was no where near any type of spiritual understanding. Thank you that you care for us as your creation, Lord. Each of us different and uniquue in the way you planned and made us. And as Nathan said it, Lord, Tricia was made was this CF that you created for her to use for your Glory. Thank you that I have been allowed to be witness to her service to you by this technology. Lord, as we come before your throne in one accord, many who believe in You gathered together in Your name, I thank you for the opportunity you've given us to approach a Holy God because of what Christ has done for each of us. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. For our salvations and for Your help in troubled times. God I am asking this morning, along with these others, that You would please touch Tricia at this time and begin to heal the body that You have given her. We praise You God for what You have done in the Lawrenson's lives, especially in these most recent months and the blessing it has been to SO MANY. Now we ask that You would please give Tricia the health to enjoy this precious baby You have given to her. Give her strength that she could actively care for Baby Gwyneth the way she has longed to since she prayed for her while she was still only a holy thought in Your mind. Please watch over this family and protect them each as they enter the halls of another germ-filled hospital. And we ask strength for Nate (and his parents, and for Tricia's parents), as he cares for her and makes decisions on her's and Gwyneth's behalf. Again, God, I thank You for Your goodness and protection over us every minute of our lives in this precarious sin-filled world. Thank You for sending Jesus to bridge the gap that we might come before You. Thank You for CHOOSING to love us. In Jesus most precious name.

Heavenly Father, it is my prayer to you this morning that you place your healing hands on Tricia and her new lungs. Lord, I pray that when the doctors go to run their tests this morning, there will be nothing to find but a pair of healthy lungs. However, if that is not to be the case, Lord I pray that you will quickly begin the healing process. I pray that you would provide comfort to Nate & Tricia as they walk through this scary time. Allow them to rest in knowing that you are bigger than any diagnosis and that all healing comes from you. I ask these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ.

praying for grace and strength as you return and undergo more testing. seems the journey is never-ending, but i guess life is that way most of the time. "as your days....so shall your strength be." that's what i have to remind myself often enough. God has brought you so far, and He's the same God yesterday, today and forever! I praise His name for that! we will add her name again to our daily prayer list w/ the girls! they love all the current pics of baby girl too!

Almighty Master, Physician of souls and bodies: You humble and raise up; You chasten and heal. In Your great mercy visit Your servants Tricia and Gwyneth who are sick. Stretch out Your arm to heal them, raising them up from their beds of illness. Put far away the spirit of disease and malady, every wound, fever and attack. If they have sinned or transgressed, remit and forgive them for the sake of Your love for mankind. Lord, be merciful to Your creation, through Jesus Christ our Lord, with Whom You are blessed together with Your most holy, good and life creating Spirit, now and ever and unto ages. Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father-
I thank you for this precious family this morning. I thank you for the way Nathan's blog has been used to reach so many who have not heard or understood what true faith and trust in you looks like. I thank you for the faith they had to trust in you when they respected the sanctity of life enough to risk Tricia and Gwyneth's life and to put their faith in you. I thank you for way you have carried them through their trials and tests and brought them so many miracles and blessings along the way. We trust you God once again with the lives of this family. I pray for healing for Tricia and if that is not the case then give them peace and comfort to deal with the diagnosis. I thank you for the many people around the world lifting them p today. In Jesus name amen.
