Please Pray for Keri

Posted on by jonithetentmaker

Prayer is a powerful weapon or tool, depending on how you look at it. For me, it is the air that I breathe, prayer is my waking moments, and my sleep, for me to not be in communication with God, would cause me to wither up and die!

Now, I am asking that you pray also.

A young lady named Keri needs your prayer to come home to her husband, young son, and daughter. She had a cyst in her brain, blood clots in her brain, and I believe it is over seven cranial surgeries. She had the Shunt used in her surgery, an operation that has never been performed throughout the world, named after her, Keri’s Shunt. Keri is fighting hard, and the doctors are amazed at the miracles they are seeing with her. But this is a long road back, and with every step forward, there can be setbacks.
I will keep you updated if you take the time to stop and say a prayer every day for Keri. A simple, “Lord, please heal Keri.” is fine. And when she is completely healed, I will let you know too.
Thank you!
May God Bless You Always!

National Day of Prayer

Posted on by jonithetentmaker

If you have read my posts before, you may know that I am all about prayer! In our last home, we had an oversized closet that I turned into my prayer closet. It was a place I could go and shut the world out and be with Jesus. Of course, the one thing you must learn when becoming a prayer warrior is to be a listening warrior too. Many times I sat in there just meditating on God and listening to Him. Since we have moved back to NC and are now in a new home, I must find another place which is just for God and me, because I feel out of sorts without my time with God. I do read my bible and pray, but it is not the same as being surrounded by His words with no interruptions.

For my prayer time, I follow the instructions found in Matthew 6: 5-6.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward. But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

If you are not sure what to pray, Jesus gave us the perfect prayer to pray every day. This is the way I pray it…

Our Father, Who are in heaven, 

Hallowed be Thy Name. 

Thy Kingdom come. 

Thy Will be done, 

on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. 

And forgive us our trespasses, 

as we forgive those who trespass against us. 

And lead us not into temptation, 

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power,

And the glory, forever.

 Amen.

So, since today is the National Day of Prayer and if you have never prayed or found the time for prayer, today is your day! Commit to prayer for the next 30 days, every morning, and start with “Our Father.”  Before long you will find yourself pouring your heart out to Him and listening and feeling God pour His love into your spirit. You will see a difference in your life!

If you need prayer, I am honored to pray for you.  You can email me at joniberrydotcom@gmail and submit your request.  This will not be made public or put in any of my posts unless requested by you.  Just God and me and your petition.

 

Stay safe! God Bless You!

 

Please Pray for Keri

Posted on by jonithetentmaker

Keri is the youngest daughter of our dear friends and her sister Kristen is our daughter’s close friend.  Keri is a wife, mother to two young boys, and a Pharmacist, but more importantly, Keri is God’s servant.  She is in ICU and has a clot in her brain after two operations for a cyst.  The prognosis does not look good. I do not believe in prognosis because I believe in God, who formed us in our mother’s womb.  I believe in God who knew us before we even came into this world and had our life’s paths laid out. If I could, I would stand on the highest mountain and proclaim His sovereignty to the world and then humble myself lower than the beach’s sands to ask for Keri’s healing. So, will you please join me in praying for Keri?

Heavenly Father,

I come before you, face down at the hem of your robe to ask for Keri’s healing. Father, your greatness has now been seen and recognized throughout the world. You stopped this world and started healing and revival, which has not occurred in hundreds of years. We know that great things happen after 40 days of struggle, and I beg for Keri’s 40 days to be over, and Your light to break through like the dawn and her healing to quickly appear!! Please open the pathways around the clot and allow the blood to flow again. 

Father, please heal Keri just as you did the Centurion’s servant with a word because of the Centurion’s faith.  We know Your power and believe in Your healing for Keri. And if our faith is insufficient, please give us more faith for Keri’s healing! I ask that you fill her hospital room with the sweet aroma of Jesus and bring complete healing to her brain!

In Jesus Christ’s Almighty Name, I Pray!

Amen!
