Well, it has been awhile since we have posted a specific prayer request.  This one is not for Arla.  It is for a woman that our family does not know personally.  She is the mother of a co-worker.  Her name is Betty.  She, like Arla, has been living away from home due to health issues.  Her spirits are low, and she is having some additional health issues that have put her back in the hospital.  Pray for Betty.  She needs to be healed.  She needs to have your strength returned to her.  She needs hope and peace.  Pray that those who know Betty may feel the call to visit her and fill her day with friends.  And pray for Betty’s family as they deal with their mother not being well.   Chronic illness affects the entire family, not just the patient.

When you pray, do not forget to thank God for that which God gave you today.  Pray that He would help us to be happy with what we have, for it all comes from Him.
