A Prayer Request

Dear Readers,

This is a call to prayer; please flood the throne of God with petitions for my student, Tyara. She is 7 years old and has a lump (most likely cancerous) in her back. She left Antigua before Christmas and traveled to St. Vincent where a team of U.S. doctors visit several months a year to "volunteer" their services. The hope was that these doctors could perform a surgery on Tyara and that she could heal quickly and come back to us. I received a partial communication from her mother today, saying that they could not do the surgery in St. Vincent and the back-up plan, doing the surgery in Virginia, also will not work. They need to find a specialist because the surgery will be very complex. Please, please lift up Tyara, her family, and friends. Everything is very uncertain. The only certainty is our hope of heaven, complements of our Savior. May His will be done.

"Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is anyone of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."
James 5:13-16
