Linn at A Place Called Simplicity has called for a Crazy love party based on prayer. http://aplacecalledsimplicity.blogspot.com/ (The first party was meeting people's financial needs. Boy was that fun!). I couldn't pass up the chance to participate. Who doesn't need prayer???
`
I haven't felt well for too many months. I've seen loads of docs and tried a myriad of fixes. And I must say that today I feel better than I did in a few months ago. Thank God!! But still it lingers.... Unfortunately, I had to put my (second) adoption on hold until I feel better. Not feeling well has also brought about a fair amount of anxiety about what's wrong with me and why it won't stop. I've spent a lot of time in prayer, and God and I have had some good talks about that!! More trust in Him. More surrender of my "stuff". More of You, less of me, Lord.
`
I know my prayer request isn't the most interesting out there but it's awful to feel lousy for so long -- particularly when you're a single mama!! I would love to tell our adoption agency that I'm ready to start the process for our second baby by June (or sooner). Would you pray I'm healthy and full of energy by that time? I'm humbled by your willingness to consider my heart's cry.

If you want to read more about Seth and me you can see his story at http://conceivedinprayer.blogspot.com/2010/03/seths-journey-home.html and my prayer for the second one at http://conceivedinprayer.blogspot.com/2009/12/great-adventure.html
`
I'm also committing to pray for anyone who is praying for us. So in your comments, please leave a request and it will be covered in prayer by me for at least a month.
`
Last, let's all pray for Linn and Dwight. They are blessing sooo many of us (far more than the 1000+ followers). Pray for Jubilee's surgery and for their upcoming trip to Uganda and for the next children to come.

"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him" 1 John 5:14-15.

You are in our prayers. I have been there with the health issues. Can't wait to see how God works in your life!
I'm praying for you! I'll be following along your journey to see how the Lord is working in your life and in your second adoption!
You are in my prayers. I am praying that your health will be restored and that your energy will return. Looking forward to seeing how God works in your life. Thank you for sharing your request.
hi, i loved reading your first adoption story... praying for your health. i hate being sick. be healed in Jesus' name! i speak life and wholeness to your body. my prayer request is for a car. i'm linked at linny's site.
Girlfriend - Thank you for sharing your request...listen single mamas canNOT be sick...so we are prayin that your health is restored in Jesus' name!!
I am jealous that my kids and hubby get to meet you before I do...I will be praying for all of you and waiting to hear the good reports..

Much love!! xo
I've added this to my list and will be praying. :) Thank you so much for praying for me.
Deb, you are such a blessing. Praying... Thank you for your prayers for little Helen and our family.
Oh bless your heart! I will for sure pray for your health and for more energy! You have to know that Satan is going to do all he can to prevent another sweet child from finding his/her forever family! I will pray that Jesus surrounds you with HIS presence and removes anything standing in the way of you and your future child!
Came by way of Linny--I am praying for you to have health and strength and to be filled with joy and thankfulness in all circumstances (which is something I struggle with having when I don't feel well!!).
I am praying for you! I am a Linny stalker, er follower. I am so happy to "meet" all these great new people to join with them in prayer.
Jesus, thank you for this one with an heart for adoption. Father would you speak clearly to her regarding her health, Father you created us to be whole and well, Lord quench any work of the enemy and build up again her heart to adopt. Lord speak PEACE and comfort as she walks on in good health. Lord bring back JOY and replace the fear fully with the Holy Spirit. Lord we thank you and trust you for this sweet one who brought up this request tonight. In Jesus name. amen
You said your prayer request was "not the most interesting" but, I think it is. You have a heart for adoption, want to be well to serve others, a love of Jesus and a want to be filled with more Jesus. If my prayer requests were Jesus centered like yours, instead of me centered I think my life would be so much better. I have cut and pasted your request, including for Linny and Dwight to my sheet which I will draw out every morning. Thank you for showing me what selflessness is.

Praying for you! I couldn't imagine being a single mom on a good day, let alone being sick!
Praying for your health...from one single mom to another! Been there, done that, don't want to do it again! Hope all is resolved soon, and am glad you are beginning to feel a bit better. It can be a slow process, I know!
Hugs from Nancy in CT
We're so praying for you! I also deal with some major physical struggles and doing my best to parent our kiddos. I believe God's got miracles for your family and ours. May His gentle grace and healing touch encourage you today.
