I'm not sure if this is permissable or not, but I would like to ask you to pray for my son Owen. A week ago he fell, landing on his skateboard on his back. He has been in excruciating pain since then. He is on an assortment of pain killers, muscle relaxants, anti-inflamatories and they are not enough at times. I just finished kneeling beside him and praying for him. He is in so much pain that it is hard for him to fall asleep. His muscles are spasming so much that I can feel them just resting my hand on him lightly. He is to graduate in June. School has been a long, hard battle for him and now it is questionable if he is going to make it. He wants to. He won't be able to go to youth convention in May because of this accident. I know that the Father knows but I would appreciate your prayers - those of you who would.

Thank you. Also, my daughter flies back to school in N.C. tomorrow - for physical safety and wisdom and strength.

God Bless,
Jo-Anne

Jo-Anne,

We will pray for your son Owen. Jesus, we pray that you will manifest your healing power to Jo-Anne's son and that you will raise Him up in health. We believe that you continue to work in our lives and in our bodies through your spirit. Please comfort and heal Ownen and give him the strength to believe in you and your love and salvation that you have purchased for him, even through this trial. Raise him up and restore a healthy son to his mother. We pray in Jesus name.

Jo-Anne,

Thanks for asking. I'm praying for Owen now. Please keep in touch and let us know how he's doing.

Travel safety for your daughter too.

God bless you,

Hi,

I wanted to thank each of you and others who prayed for Owen especially and thank you for praying for our daughter as well (Amber).

Owen is doing a little better today. He's moving around more and he hasn't asked to be taken to emergency (a good sign!) They gave him morphine last night after I sent this request (he got worse). He was in emergency twice yesterday (and he's not a wimp!), but I am amazed today. He has a ways to go but it is a relief to have him resting somewhat comfortably (being able to fall asleep).

And thanks for your prayers for our daughter. She is learning things about the Father that she is having to question. You know how it goes. What you learn needs to be able to be "fleshed out."

Anyway...I am grateful and have no doubt that your prayers made the difference.

God Bless,
Jo-Anne Nurse

Thank you. He's doing a little better...moving around a little. He still can't sit and can't be on his feet for long (too weak). I'm hoping he will be able to graduate, but realize that his health is far more important than graduation. He's missing out on youth convention (the last one he could go to, so is very disappointed about that. The only way I could see him going is flying and it's very expensive to fly out of here).

I appreciate your prayers - all of your prayers so very much. Thank you again!

Jo-Anne
