| Prayer Request for Doug & Dorothea Family |
| Original Date Prayer Posted: June 7, 2001 |

| Dear Lord, it is even painful to read about this man who appears to be dying and to see how faithfully his wife stands near to care for him and to listen to the sister, who cares for the both of them weep as she stands by. I have no idea what your will is Lord for these people, I only know that they are believers and servants to your word and will and that they say they love you and call upon your name. My sister Theresa sent this request Lord and she is willing to stand in the gap for these people and if my sister Theresa is willing to pray, then I join her in prayer Lord here in Arizona, we join them in praying for Doug's illness and Dorothea's Love for Doug. I am fully convinced Lord that you not only know every detail, but that you know Doug specifically. You alone know if it is his time to come home or if it is your will to be gloried in the raising of this man off of his deathbed. I pray your will Lord, in either case, Doug will be blessed for to be absent from the body is to be present with you and if you elect to restore him, he will remain to bring joy to Dorothea and their children. This pray naturally is not just about Doug, but it is about sisters and children and friends of Doug. Sounds like Tabitha's situation a little Lord and you elected to raise Tabitha or Dorcas out of her death sleep because her loved ones mourned so deeply her loss. Yet every situation has it's particulars and you and the Holy Spirit know the particulars, we just present to your our concerns. Bless this family Lord, be glorified in their hour of need and comfort all concerned give them all peace in Jesus' name we pray and stand in the gap in their behalf. Amen. |

| Dear Sis, I'm forwarding this letter of a good friend of mine's brother-in-law who is, Doug. Knowing you have your prayer request web site, this is a very urgent prayer request that needs much prayer power applied. So I am requesting healing for Doug, whether that is physical or being taken home to the Lord. God's will!!! And physical & spiritual undergirding for his wife, Dorothea and family that is helping her. Debby, is a very close friend of mine from many years back. Thanks. Love Ya, Theresa Schroder |

| Hi Debby, You should be back from Texas by now and are probably at Bible Study with everyone as I write this. How I would love to be there with all of you...I can't believe I have only been to three or four lessons of this Study session...how did that happen? And this afternoon I looked forward to being at your house for Scrapbooking...oh how I've missed ya'll. This vigil is so painful for my sister and the children that I can't even imagine her going through it alone...she has many friends comforting and praying for her, coming by, etc., but somehow it's hard for me to believe that anyone can bring her a cup of tea, give her a back rub when I put her to bed at night, or pray with the same fervor I can for she and Doug before I say goodnight to her and leave her at the hospital in a rollaway bed next to him for the night. She wants so desperatly to crawl up in the hospital bed with him and just hold him but his intense pain, no matter where you touch him, and all the wires and tubes make it impossible...he just wants to come home! At times he is alert and knows everything that is going on and other times he wakes up and wants to know what the bedrails are doing on his bed and it is soooo hard for Dorothea to have to tell him where he is and why. It is only through the grace of God that he is continuing to breath on his own as we sit and watch and pray with the heaving of his chest at each breath he struggles to take. When they drained the two liters of fluid from his chest yesterday we all expected it to be clear like water but instead it looked like blood... |
