Prayer Warriors

I received two emails this morning that humbled me, blessed me, and reminded me that God will NEVER forsake me. He is with me through this storm and He knows my every thought, my every desire, my every hurt. Watching Tim having a harder and harder time as each day passes is truly breaking me heart. However, God is the Restorer of my soul. He is the Great Comforter. He is the Almighty God. I shall fear nothing! And these emails made me feel like I was just given wings.
One was from a sweet sister in Christ from our church, Bette. She faithfully serves in the prison ministry and emailed to let me know that there are a couple hundred men up in Centinela State Prison praying for my husband. She has told us about what prayer warriors these inmates are, and I am so humbled to hear that God will use anyone for His glory. I am so touched that these men, whom don't know my husband, going through their own trials, are so faithful to pray for my Timmy. Thank you, Jesus for these brothers!
I also received an extremely touching email from my dear friend Kimberly that was confirmation to me that God has not forgotten about me. Kimberly wrote about how God has really put us on her heart. I have gotten several emails like that lately. She is also such a faithful friend and prayer warrior and I am blessed that a busy mom and wife like her would take the time to be so giving to us. I am blessed to have her!
I know that He hears my cry. I know that he will NEVER forsake me. And He is using countless people to remind me daily.

The Lord is faithful indeed. We also prayed for Tim during our Bible study this week! Tim is a true warrior for Christ as are you. Spiritual battles can sometimes bear physical scars.

I know Tim's faith (and the faith of your entire family) is a threat to satan. When satan perceives a threat he'll throw every obstacle he can think of at you. This just means your fighting for the right side! My prayer is that what satan means for evil, the Lord would use for good.

Right now I pray fervently that God would use the faithful prayers of our brothers that are serving time at Centinela state prison in a mighty way to heal Tim's back. Furthermore I pray that in doing so Allmighty God would be glorified, the faith of the prisoners and ministry workers radically strengthened, and your family's perseverance rewarded.

Be not afraid, look at the way the Lord worked to bring us little Gracen! Jehovah jira = the Lord provides!

Please pass this message along to the prisoners and Christ's ministry workers of the Centinela state prison:

The prisoners should know that although they now bear the shackles of the state. Christ has already thrown off all of the spiritual shackles of those who follow Him! He now prepares a place for them to dwell for eternity amidst his Glory! Where moth and rust do not destroy and thieves do not break in and steal. Every tear shall be wiped away and our bodies resurrected and transformed in the twinkling of an eye into our flawless heavenly bodies!

Thank you for the kindness you've shown through the prayers that you've offered up for my brother, Tim! A man whom you probably don't even know. Through your faithfulness you will witness the will of our Loving God! His good pleasing and perfect will. May the Lord richly bless you and yours!

Your brother in Christ!

Chris and the faithful prayer warriors of RDR...Thank you so much for your constant prayers. I know God is doing a mighty, mighty work and I look forward to posting praise reports. I do already have one that is very personal, but it shows so clearly how God is always with me and does hear my cry.
God bless you,
Veronica and family
