| Urgent Prayer for Our MyChurch Friend Val |
|
| |
This blog was posted in May, but see my Aug. 14 comment below.
Dear MyChurch Family,
Our sister Val and her family desperately need our prayers immediately. Please take a moment to stop whatever you are doing, and send up a prayer for her son Jake and for all the family. This is a critical moment. Jake is 10 and began having seizures 10 months ago, and his seizure medications are causing him to act out in ways that could physically harm his younger siblings. Last evening was a very scary one! Jake has a doctor's appt. today to look at the medication issue. Please pray for a return of Jake's real personality, and for safety and peace to return in this home.
Following are Val's own words last evening:

Please pray for my son and our family. Jake is having bad reactions to his seizure meds...he's not himself at all. It's scary for all of us, but I'm so concerned for our younger kids, Emily (9) and Sam (3). Jake is such a sweet boy and he loves Jesus. He has no control over this. He would be devestated if he knew what he was doing to his family. We have an appointment with his Neurologist tomorrow (5/15) to figure out what to do next. Please remember us in your prayers...it's been 10 months since Jake first got sick...my husband and I want so desperately for our son to be well again.
Then in response to my commitment to pray with her:

Thank you. I feel like I can't do this anymore. I'm not strong enough. I'm asking for everyone's prayers because I feel like God's not answering mine. I'm tired and I'm scared.
Then this morning:
I would appeciate it so much if you could do a blog for Jake and for our appt today. Thank you so much...for everything. I can't wait to be strong again, so I can be the one reaching out to others...
This is urgent, friends! This is what a Christian community is all about. Coming together as a family to rally around each other and to lift each other in prayer! You can read more about this precious family and see their photos on Val's page (linked above).
3:12a For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer."
17:6 I call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God; incline thy ear to me, hear my words.

| Thank you for praying for us. We are needing to change Jake to another med, which means the past 3 months spent slowly adding this last one has been wasted time, and now we must start all over again trying a new med, with only hope that Jake will tolerate this one. My husband and I are so tired and scared. We want our "old Jake" back. If we come to your mind, will you please continue to pray for our family...this is so hard for us. Thank you so much, Val |

| GOd grant Val and her family peace in the midst of this trial. Give wisdom to the doctors, healing hands to the nursing staff, and hope for Val and her husband. God I just come against sin, death and teh devil, and pray that their will in this ssituation will be broken, that they will not steal any more from this family. Let this family know that they are held in your arms, and in our prayers. God come to them in a divine presence, with the veil removed and with sight to see how you want them to pray and to respond in this time of pain and confusion. Lord we just pray that the medication change will allow the person of Jake to be strong and present Lord, tha you image will shine forth in his eyes and that You will bring your healing touch to the things causing this sickness. |

| Father, we praise you tonight for leading these doctors. Father, restore, restore, restore. |

I will be praying for this family. Jesus is the Great Physican!

| Thank you so much for your prayers! We are having to start a new seizure med for Jake. This means he is on 3 meds, with not one of them at therapeutic level (able to control seizures on their own). Our goal is to get this new one to therapeutic level, then slowly decrease the other two, one at a time, in order to be on only one med. This is a very long process, as not to cause breakthrough seizures. In the mean time, Jake is sick with dizziness, nausea, extreme tiredness, and at times very extreme behavioral and emotional problems. My husband and I are hurting, as well as our 9 year old daughter, Emily. Our 3 year old son, Sam, is starting to mimic Jake's bad behavior. We need prayers, we need our Lord so desperately. Jake is a loving, sweet, sensitive boy with a heart for the Lord. This all comes from one mosquito bite last July. |

Hi there Val,
Do not be afraid and do not panic. The God Whom we worship is an omnipotent God. Just have faith and pray. More than our prayers, Jake's prayer is very important. Jesus Loves little children for he has said so.
Our ( parent's) faith is very important because when the children sees our faith, they are more encouraged.
Our prayers are for your son Jake. Eventhough we walk through the valley of shadow of death we will fear no evil for the Almighty God is with us. In Jesus name we Pray. Amen. Jake will be perfectly alright. God Bless You and the family. |

I know there are many of you who have been praying for Val and her family and have been missing her lately, as have I. Please read the comment she left today (Aug. 14) on my Biblical Guidance blog, and continue to send prayers and love, through this blog or through her personal page. She could really use a MyChurch group hug! |
