5/7 KILGORE: Prayer warriors please intercede with me, the symptoms of this autoimmune dysfunction are becoming overwhelming. I shared with a friend, it’s like the weight on a camel’s back that is about to break the camel’s back. I have done everything I know as a woman of faith & RN.  I have contacted Dr. Jason West of The West Clinic in Pocatello Idaho, who is the only physician I know having great results with AI disease & Lyme. Therefore, I am requesting an online consultation until I am able to raise the monies to get to his clinic.  I have suffered for 42 years with a serious misdiagnosed viral infection & as Cleveland Clinic uncovered six other viruses that my body has fought all these years & sadly the Lyme disease, which has not been properly treated because it must treat naturally due to pesticide poisoning years ago also. It Is Time, Father God is telling me to get the care I need & move forward with my life.  Therefore I am asking for prayer & supplication for anyone willing to align with me that I may finally get the proper care so desperately needed. TIA 🙂 !!!!! Darleme

5/4 ELLIS: Please pray for my friend’s niece.  They found a 19 cm mass in or on her ovary.  Her belly and lungs are full of fluid.  The doctors are saying this is usually a sign of cancer.  She is only 23.  They are trying to get her transferred to Cleveland Clinic but are waiting for a bed.  They need to drain the fluid from her lungs and do further testing.  Please pray for the doctors and staff caring for her, for a quick and accurate diagnosis and treatment, and for healing and peace for her, her parents and her family.  Thank you all so very much! Teri

5/3 COVENANT CHURCH: Prayer and faith matter in this world! Last week we prayed for Pastor Beril to return home safely. It was by God’s grace that he made it. Pastor Beril shared that God, indeed, answered our prayers. For example, a particular road that has been highly volatile with gang activity was totally quiet. Less than three hours later the road was “fire and blood” with busses being pillaged, hostages taken, and seven people killed.
