more prayer requests

Rosalind, Princess' aunt, called me today. She has been on and off drugs and the realm that brings pretty much all her life. About a week ago, her boyfriend died of an overdose. She called today freaking out, wanting me to pray for her, saying that her boyfriend's spirit was tormenting her, that he was in her body and making her crazy. I told her that taking drugs will allow all sort of evil to enter in and she admitted to taking something last night. I'm sure it was still in her system, she was really wigged out. But she knows the answer is the Lord and as we prayed together and as she cast out and renounced the drugs and her past life, she got some measure of peace. She hasn't slept in several days and her aunt said that if she didn't sleep tonight, she is going to take her to the mental hospital. Rosalind has been there before and doesn't want to go back, so she wants me to call her and pray with her again before she goes to sleep. I ask you to join with me in praying for her that she will have peace and will have victory over the darkness and drugs that keep ensnaring her from walking in victory.

I also found out that Princess will soon be coming home. I know it will be a hard transition for her to come back. She is to come home the week of mother's day. She will come home to the hard realization that her friend is gone, to a family that is still as it has been, while she tries to lead a new life in the Lord. I hope for her sake that Rosalind will not be in close proximity of her. I also pray that we will be able to foster a more open and honest relationship. Princess has always been very guarded with me, shielding me and everyone from her life and emotions. May she be able to talk and be honest with others, herself and most importantly with the Lover.

Continue your prayers also for Isaiah Baier, for his mom Tighe, dad Greg and unborn sister Lily (those are their real names). Each day Isaiah improves a little. He said a couple of words and had his first bite of real food since the weekend. Tighe met a doctor who doesn't take medicaid, but is going to deliver her baby for free. She held Tighe as she cried, saying that she would be there with her through it all and that she was praying for her. Tighe felt like she had met an angel. They have been so thankful for everyone's prayers and the way the body of Christ has reached out to them in their time of need. Keep praying for Isaiah to recover from this fully and continue to show signs of improvement. They are not sure if he has suffered hearing loss as he has two really bad ear infections as well. Peace over the Baiers.

Sorry for the onslaught. Thanks for reading and for praying.
