Let's Storm the Gates!

I flew down to Florida today unexpectedly because my dad is in the hospital and my stepmom is facing dire health problems of her own. I'll be here until Thursday, attending doctors appointments, investigating resources and making home health care arrangements.

I'd appreciate your prayers for their health, both physically and spiritually.

I once read a story by Corrie ten Boom who was in a concentration camp during World War II. As she was being taken away by the guards, her friend ran past her and whispered, "I'm storming the gates of heaven for you." Those words made a great impact on me regarding my prayer life. Do I have the sense that I am storming the gates of heaven when I pray?

Would you storm the gates of heaven with me? And let me know what I can pray for you.

Hi Susan -

I'll be praying that the Lord gives you wisdom and direction on how to best help your loved ones.

My prayer request: a job that will meet my needs.
