Prayers for Paul Sabine

Paul Sabine fell yesterday incurring a head and brain injury. He also broke his hip. He’s in the ICU at Riverside Hospital recovering from two head surgeries. His broken hip is yet to be operated on. He’s not expected to leave the ICU for at least a week.
Paul has been suffering for 3 years from an undiagnosed illness that leaves him in pain and feeling weak. 
 
May our gracious and merciful God heal Paul and spare him much suffering. And may He also support Kerry during this time. AMEN

Prayer Requests from Yashira Hornedo

Yashira Hornedo writes with multiple prayer requests. I think it best to let her tell it herself:

“It is a sad moment in my family. My cousin Mabel Rodriguez just passed way. She was living in Dayton OH and had complications with her diabetes and gangrene. Her last surgery was 1 month ago where they had to amputate her hands. She already had had a leg amputated back in October when I last was able to visit her. Also my other cousin Laura Satterfield, 39yrs old and Professor at Harvard, has been in intensive care in NY since Monday with encephalitis with convulsions. Doctors said they can not promise recovery, and all the family is sad, worried, and concerned as she has a 3yr old son and a husband and the family just lost her sister today. Mabel was my only family in Ohio and she had no kids but had a husband Gary who was by her side in each and every moment, taking excellent care of her with love. I have two cousins and an aunt Maria Satterfield her mother left in NY who is devastated and at the same time trying to hold on and taking care of Gabriel her 3yr old grandchild whose mother is fighting for her life right now.
May God grant healing and grace to all of these suffering people beset by so many tragic circumstances and events. AMEN
