Prayers needed

I am writing to ask for prayers for my friend that we will call Orphelia. She has suffered so much pain in her life and is only 28 years old. She loves the CEO, but has suffered another deadly blow in her life and is really struggling and hating the creator right now. She has lost many babies in her short life. The first was a pregnancy cut too short at 7 months, when she lost her first daughter. At that time, she went through a depression and many other devastating life blows, where she was left all alone and ended up in the hospital on her death bed. When in her deepest pain (she was on dialasis and undergoing chemotherapy and some kind of painful injections into her brain- crying out in pain) when she received a vision of the Lover at the foot of her bed weeping with her. She was diagnosed with Lupus and miraculously recovered from near death. She and her husband have wanted a child so badly, but with two more miscarriages, they determined that they should adopt. The day after Christmas a miracle occurred. They were with the birth parents who had chosen them to adopt their precious baby. Orphelia's husband Bobby cut the umbilical cord, the took the baby to the place where they were staying the night and all seemed to have been redeemed for this couple who have suffered so much loss. The next day, they went in to sign the final paperwork, but the notary had not arrived, so the birth mother told them to take the baby and head home, that it would be finalized once the notary arrived. The newly parented couple had never been happier. They were introducing their baby to the grandparents and on their way home to start their new life when they got a call that the birth parents had changed their minds and wanted the baby back.

Understandably, the couple is in deep mourning and distress. The adoption had been going seamlessly until that crucial moment- even supernaturally well. The case worker kept saying that nothing goes this easily and flawlessly and now their long journey has come to a horrid point once again. Please pray for their faith, their marriage, hope and that the CEO would resurrect their dreams and help them to live again in victory. Thank you for your prayers.

The Way Will Open

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." Isaiah 40:31

You must be renewed, remade. Christ, Christ, Christ. Everything must rest on Me. Force is born of rest. Only Love is a conquering force. Be not afraid, I will help you.

Be channels, both of you. My Spirit shall flow through and My Spirit shall, in flowing through, sweep away all the bitter past.

Take heart. God loves, God helps, God fights, God wins. You shall see. You shall know. The way will open. All My Love has ever planned, all My Love has ever thought, you shall see each day unfold. Only be taught. Just be a child. A child never questions plans. It accepts gladly.


I will hold Ophelia up to the Father. Please let her know that and thank you for posting this.
