Invitation to the BBCPRAYERCORNERblog

hello bbc "family"! God has laid the idea of a "prayer corner" on my heart, so here it is, in it's "infancy". you can email me or post comments, requests, Bible verses, praises for answered prayers etc. you get the idea! we have so many families that are going through tough trials that i personally would like to know specifics on how to pray for a particular person or situation, i hope you feel the same way! i am following God's lead and we will see where this goes, if there is interest in this type of blog or not! all we can do is try and see what happens!
i will start off by requesting prayers for healthy pregnancies and babies for my daughter emily and daughter in law val, who are both due the beginning of august! praise God for the gifts of more grandbabies for me to love :)
i am sure that there are many more praises that we can post and many requests for God's healing and requests for husbands to find jobs that they will enjoy, requests for us as we parent teenagers, etc!
let's begin!! mary leeuw
"It's a good thing to give thanks unto our Father, and to sing praises unto His name!"
"We call on the Lord in our distress and He hears and answers us!"

  1. I really like your idea Mary Leeuw! I would like to ask for prayers for my Uncle Joe's recovery as he just had a 11 hour surgery to remove a cancerous growth on his spine. And I would like to thank God for answering our prayers, the doctors were able to remove the whole tumor and the margins are clear!!

    I would also like to ask for prayers for my little 97 year old Grandma who fell this week and was in the hospital. Her artificial hip joint is worn out and they won't do surgery to fix it due to her age. I pray that she continues to be able to walk with little pain and that she remembers to ask for help getting up.

    One more, sorry!!! I don't want to hog the prayers. My friend Beth's son Josh has to have open heart surgery this month to have two valves replaced. He's only 20 years old, but apparently had undiagnosed rheumatic fever as a child and his heart is in very poor shape.

    Thanks so much to anyone who is willing to offer their prayers. These people have been on my heart.

    1. This is Stephanie Smith by the way. I don't know why I showed up as my password instead of my name.

  2. I love this idea and am excited to share in it and to pray for those who choose to share this way! Thanks Mary Leeuw for following God's leading on this one!

    Please pray for safe travel to FL for our family as my husband goes to a conference and we spend some time playing in the FL sun!

  4. Special prayer requests for Karen Kalkman and her family. Jack will require 2 thoracic surgeries to repair aortic arch and then to repair the descending aorta (separate surgeries). The vessels are in grave danger of rupturing. Jack and Karen are at peace with the decision. The surgery will be scheduled the end of February or beginning of March.

    Dear God,
    This is my friend whom I love and this is my prayer for her.
    Help her live her life to the fullest.
    Please promote her and cause her to excel above her expectations.
    Help her shine in the darkest places where it is impossible to love.
    Protect her at all times, lift her up when she needs You the most, and let her know when she walks with You, she will always be safe. Amen.

  5. Dear Father, i also want to lift Karen and Jack up to You, we know You are the Great Healer, the Greatest Physician that ever was and is, we acknowledge that You that know the number of days each one of us have to live on this earth. I pray that if it be Your will, You will be with the drs that do Jack's surgery, that You will guide each move they make and that you will restore Jack to full health. I do not doubt that You are able, I pray that You are willing to do this. Our hope is in You, Lord. Please be with Karen and Jack and their family, give them the peace that only You can give as they go forward with planning this very dangerous surgery. I ask that You let Your power shine and that all of us may praise Your Most precious Name and give You all the glory when You hear and answer our prayers, Amen, mary

  7. Prayer request for my dad who is in TU right now with a PE. They did a CAT scan today and found not only the PE in the right lung but also that the cancer in the left lung has grown again. He has been on many different types of chemo and they all seem to work for a bit and then stop working. He is going to be at HH for a couple days while they get him started on blood thinners so please pray that things go well for that and also pray for strength for my mom as she is his main caregiver.
