Remember Randall
My prayer life can border on the morose at times. For instance, I thank God every evening when we lay our head on our pillows when I realize He’s allowed our family to avoid devastation that day. Luke and I have walked through enough tragedies with those we love – and experienced a few ourselves – to understand that life often turns on a dime. With a phone call, a doctor’s visit, a confession – an otherwise boring day can suddenly become the one when our world slips from its axis.
Girls, the ground is shaking beneath our friends, The Blacks. Randall, wife Jenny, and three girls Alicia, Allison, and Lindsey – are beloved members of our community and one of the most fun families ever. Alicia is a high school senior. Allison is in 8th grade with my oldest son. Lindsey is one of my daughter’s besties. I can barely stand to type it, but Randall – age 39 – has just been diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. It is a very rare, fatal, brain disorder with no known cause or cure. It only strikes 1 in 1 million people in the U.S. each year.
Needless to say, this family as well as the ones who love them are rocked to the core. But I praise God that though the earth be shaken, their foundation is firmly in Christ. Jenny told me that “their family is holding to their faith and that Randall is happy and not worried. Not at all. He believes He will be healed and if he is not, he is not afraid to die.”
Friends, this disease is fatal. I’m not talking fatal in a few years but within months of onset. He has been ill since May. As Jenny said to me, it is crunch time. I am reminded of Hezekiah when he became ill and the Lord told him he would not recover. Hezekiah wept bitterly and prayed to the Lord for deliverance and for the sake of His Name, God extended his life.
The Lord has promised in His Word that we can approach his throne boldly. So it is in this assurance I now approach the Most High God with my request. Please dear God, for the sake of your Great Name, I beg of you – heal Randall. It’s never been done before. So many are watching fully aware that people from everywhere in the area are petitioning the throne on Randall’s behalf. Dearest Lord, because I believe you are a God of wonders, won’t you exhibit your fame once more in a fabulous display of regenerative, restorative, not- even-a-sign-he-was-ever-sick healing? God, I know you can. Do this, God. One more time, will you do this? Will you set the sun back for this family and lengthen the days they can enjoy one another and praise your mercy and lovingkindness? I’m pleading with you Lord, Our Healer, blow us away.
I know there are so many things you are asked to pray for daily but I am pleading with you to storm the throne on this one. Ask the Lord to heal this man. Ask Him to uphold Jenny and the girls with His strong, capable right hand. Ask Him for a display of His Splendor on this mountain that will make the cover of medical journals world-wide.
I will be forever and ever grateful if you would be so kind as to write your prayer for this family in the comments. {Edited to Add: If it isn’t a privacy issue with you, would you please also note which state or country you represent? THANKS!} Jenny gave me permission to ask for you to intercede on their behalf and I know that now the prayers of God’s people are all that sustain her family. I know she will be so grateful to know this news has escaped our community and that people all over this nation – and I’m going to go big here and say WORLD – will be uttering her husband’s name to the Creator of it. I’m thanking you in advance for being a people of good works who will stand shoulder to shoulder with suffering brothers and sisters in Christ.
To give you a visual, this is Randall riding my daughter on Lindsay’s horse in early June. He was only just beginning to feel poorly here. This was at another dear friend, Alayna’s, birthday party. He led the kids on horseback in the blazing sun for hours because that’s just the kind of guy he is.
This is The Girl’s birthday sleepover from early September. Lindsey is second from the right. I can’t even wrap my mind around how my daughter would accept losing her daddy. Lindsey doesn’t understand all that is going on so please pray for all the girls – but maybe say an extra for this precious one.
Much love to you all,
Lisa
I have been praying since getting Holly’s email yesterday, and even before. We are praying for a miracle for this precious family.
Father God- I join my brothers and sisters bodly walking into that throne room asking for the miraculous. Jesus you are already making intercession for Randall and Jenny and all their children. We come along side, we petition and we plead the blood of Christ over this family. Bring healing, bring glory to Your Name, bring peace and bring life which you have promised us in abundance. In the Mighty and Powerful name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Father, I come to You right now knowing you personally as a Healer and a life saver. I just beg you Lord, on behalf of this family that you might intervene Father and touch Randall and heal his body. I pray for all of his girls that You will wrap them in Your secure arms and hold them tight through this no matter what the outcome. You are good Father, and I pray that they can trust that no matter what. I love you, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Lord Jesus Do It. Please Lord heal this man who loves you so…restore his body to complete health. We want to see your glory! Please give this family rest this evening. Make them very aware of your presence and comfort them even now. Would you sing a little louder over them tonight?
Thank you Lord Jesus for what you are going to do…..
Oh God, Amen and amen to Lisa’s prayer. Show your glory, display your might, reveal your wonders to the world at large. From our perspective, O Lord, this seems like a perfect stage for you to show up and dazzle all who are watching. We believe you are more than able. Do this, we pray, that many will see and hear and know that you are God and there is none other. In the name of your precious Son, Jesus, who had compassion and healed those in need, Amen.
Father God,
I come before You now humbly, knowing that without the blood of Jesus I couldn’t even address You, yet I come boldly before Your throne, knowing as well that because of Him, I have confidence to enter Your presence. You are the Great Physician, Lord. With one word, one touch… You could heal Randall. You are sovereign, Lord, and we seek Your will in this thing, but at the same time, You ask us to bring the concerns and our hearts’ desires and lay them before You. Here it is, Father. Please heal this man, so that he can continue here on earth to parent his children, to care for his wife and family, to be a witness of Your power and love. Father, what a miracle it would be for You to heal Randall, and we know that He would give all the praise and glory to You — You alone would take the credit… not doctors or human wisdom… but You alone. We cry out to You tonight on behalf of this family and ask You to be mighty in their midst.
Yet even in this, Your will be done, Lord. If in Your infinite wisdom and love You desire to have Randall come home to be with You, then I pray that You will draw especially near this family and comfort them. Be their sustainer, Lord… their portion… their everything.
Each of them needs You so badly right now, Father. They are all hurting, in their own ways. They have specific needs. Praise You, Jesus, that You are a God who is personally invested in the lives of Your people… that You are intimate with us. Come and meet each member of this family (and their loved ones) at the place of their need. Minister to them as only You can. Shine forth Your glory in this dark place, that all would see and know that You are the Lord!
Wrap Your arms of love around Randall, Jenny and their family tonight. Draw near and make Your presence known. Whisper soothing words of comfort and peace to their weary souls. Remind them that You are holding them in the palm of Your hand, Lord… and that You are in control. You see them… You know them… You love them.
Bless You, Father… In Jesus’ name, I pray… Amen.
Father, nothing is beyond your sight. You see your child Randall and you know the plans you set out for him, before he was ever born. We are asking that you move your hand and heal this man. Heal this man to your Glory. We pray that his sweet family will continue their steadfast faith in spite of this tragic news. We give you all praise, honor and glory! In the name of our precious Savior, Jesus. Amen
This weeks lesson is Believing God can do what He says He can do. I am believing God for a miracle. I know He can and I am asking. I love this family.
God, you know our hearts. You know how desperately this family is crying out for Your healing. You are compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love. You forgive our sins, redeem our life from the pit, You HEAL our diseases. You are mighty to save. Rescue Randall speedily.
Of course, we are praying for Your will and Your timing. But, please, hear that we are begging for this disease to be healed completely among the land of the living SOON. Those are the things we are asking for. Everything is possible for him who believes. I BELIEVE, help me overcome my unbelief. We are easily overwhelmed. This is absolutely one of those times. You remember that we are made from dust…show us what You are made of. Please. Heal Randall.
Lord, You are the Great Physician. You are good and blessed, even when circumstances are dark. Lord, shine your light on this family. We boldly ask for healing. Display Your glory in Randall’s body so that all will know You are powerful and nothing can stand against you. I ask for special grace and strength for each member of this family. Be real to them. Infuse them with Your presence and grace. Place Your healing hand – no, just a word, a thought from You is all that is needed – on this man and his family. May it be said of him that “this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.” (John 9:3) We ask it in your Holy Name, because You have told us to ask in faith, Amen.
Dear Lord, I pray that you would heal Randall in the Mighty Name of Jesus! We know that You are still performing miracles today like those who were healed in Your Word! Dear God, You say that EVERYTHING is possible for those who believe! Increase our faith and save us from our unbelief as we come before you for this family. Show up HUGE for this family…..give them comfort and peace
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I want to thank all for the love and prayers that we can feel in our hearts and in our home. I have been told of so many churches that are praying for my husband. Lisa, your prayer is beautiful and all the others remind me of the wonderful people in our lives. I tell you, I will NEVER be the same whether this ends in healing or tragedy. I see that I have fallen short on many things. I WILL be different. Better for it some how. The love and support and acts of kindness we have received have blown my mind. Last night an entire congregation from a church we frequently visit dismissed church and came to our home to pray with us for Randall. It was very different and beautiful at the same time. Thanks to the congregation at Ider Baptist for the special prayer for Randall on Sunday.
I don’t have the words to say how I feel. But please know that we are so grateful for everything. And we do feel the prayers lifting us up. Randall has been so incredibly patient through this all. He is happy and a very easy person to care for. He is my rock. Gratitude and love to all. Jenni
Hi to you Jenni! I had no idea this was happening to Randall and all of y’all! Moma always forgets to keep me filled in! I have known Randall for as long as I can remember, so it is hard to accept that he is in bad shape,
I just want to remind you of some things so that maybe it will encourage you even more. Think of Zion, my little white headed angel-boy…he was supposed to die at age 4 from the diseasse that killed his heart, but he was given a transplant just in time…Then, at age six he had a very aggressive and rapidly growing cancer that was so rare, there was no information for the doctors to follow for the cancer. He lost a part of each lung and was supposed to due sometime during the 8 momths of chemo. He never even acted sick! His hospital room floor packed with people on their knees raising their voices to the Lord as the first chem treatment was start. He did loose that glowing silky hair, but loved being a cool bald due.
Another time, he was 6 years old and got sic,k to the point that we did lose him…for a while. My moma went into the bathroom in that consultation room where they take you to give yoiu bad news. The doctors and nurses were still doing cpr at this point because I refused to accept it when the doctore came in three different times to tell me they were giving up on him…a full 45 minutes of no signs of life meant he was NOT alive. I would not give up on him and did not allow the doctor to either ( I don’t remember what I said, but he listened to me each time)
because I could hear my moma in that little bathroom on her knees calling from the bottom her very soul for the Lord to please touch him. She said in a loud strong voice
“Lord, I KNOW he belongs to you, but I love him so much. Please don’t take him from us now.”
I am sure alot of other people could hear her, too, but she didn’t care. When Zion’s heart did finally restart, the doctor told me that he would never, ever wake up. The lack of oxygen for almost an hour had killed his brain activity…wrong again. Within an hour he was scratching his head (his brain was alive enough to know what to do with an itch that he should not have been able to feel) the started trying to talk around his breathing tube, motioned for a cup of water, and mouthed very clearly “MOMMY” while looking the nurse square in the eye. She ran into the waiting room where we were at, crying and sobbing so bad I started crying, thinking he was gone. No, she just wanted to take me to see him.
Those are truly miracles of healing and I witnessed them all with my sinners eyes. I fully know that the only reason Zion is now a normal (HAHA) 17 year old boy is because thousands of people prayed. I know you and Randall were two of those people.
Miracle are still really happening and they can happen to Randall, if that is the Lords will.
I will be thinking of you all each and every day…I am gonna tell Zion the details (he might know about it, but not realize how much he needs to pray for y’all.)
p.s. I hit the enter button too soon…please forgive the errors. Also wanted to say I love you and am here to do anything I can for y’all. I am a paramedic now, if you need me to help take care of him, or I will run errands or anything you need. My cell phone number is 256-608-9994. Call me ANYTIME for ANYTHING!
We love you all!
Oh, Most Holy God, I lift up this family to you. Lord, you are the creator of all things and the one who holds our bodies together. Only you can bring healing to this broken body. Only you can repair the damage caused by this disease. I come before you now, asking for you to work a miracle in Randall’s life. Lord, remove all vestiges of this disease. You are the Great Physician. May you bring healing to this man of yours to bring glory and honor to Your Name alone. I also ask that you would bring strength to the family. Lord of Comfort, I ask that you bring the peace that passes all understanding to Jenny and the girls. Help the little ones to understand what is happening in a way that they can deal with it. Give them strength as they watch their Daddy suffering. I thank you for the witness that this family has already been for You. Lord, in all things, let your perfect will be done. In our humanity, we ask for healing, but you know the big picture. May whatever happens bring only glory and honor to your Name.
Dear Lord. I pray for the Black Family. I am asking that you would heal Randall. I pray that you would take away this disease. You are the great Physician. Be with his family during this time. Bless them Lord as only You can. We pray from Woodstock GA, in Your precious Holy name.Amen
Father God, I do come boldly to your throne seeking help and healing for Randall. I praise you right now as our Healer. God, I have experienced your healing power from a rare cancer and I know you can heal Randall. I am asking you for a healing that will leave no doubt that it was YOU who did it!! God you are greater than anything we face or suffer and we thank that in you we find our healing. You are our strongtower, rock, refuge, rescuer, deliverer, and your power is unlimited!! You parted the Red Sea, raised Lazurus from the dead, changed water into wine, and I am asking for a complete healing for Randall. Just as you can remove mountains , I am asking you to remove this sickness from Randall’s body! We are all in agreement and we are asking you to take this disease away and never to return again! We will extol you God, for you have lifted Randall up and we have cried out to You and You have healed Randall. In the Mighty and Powerful name of Jesus, I pray, Amen!! Patty
Dear LORD I pray that you will give strength to this family. If it is your will I also ask that you heal Randall. Be with is young daughters Lord and help them to understand what is going on. Help his wife Jenny Lord for along with you she is the glue that will hold them all together. In your name I pray. Amen
Randall, Jennie and girls,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you each day. We are standing firm on the Word of God and His power to heal as only He can do!
Love and prayers,
Carrie
Father God,
I know that You are with Randall right now. This illness has come as no surprise to You. We ask, Father, that Your glory would need seen in this situation. Father, I do ask that You do a miraculous thing in the life of Randall and his family. He has so much life to live and I ask, Yahweh Rapha, the GOD WHO HEALS to be so present in Randall’s life that he is healed to the point that it is as if the disease was never there.
I thank you, my LORD, for Your awesome answer to my petition.
In Jesus’ Name
Our Precious Heavenly Father I pray for this father, husband, son, Uncle, and brother in christ we pray for your healing hands and if this is not your will Lord we pray for this family that will have to go on and carry the legacy that this man has started. Give them the strength minute by minute. Lord we Love you and Praise your name. Chickamauga, GA
Our family will be praying. This breaks my heart to think of the pain this family is going through. They are wonderful people, I pray that God will put his healing hands on Randall and lift this family up in its time of need. Our God is so great and I truely beleive that he will take care of this family. Please bless them Lord in ways I have never seen before. We are sending our prayers from Flat Rock, AL.
Lisa, I don’t know this family, but just reading your words I can sense how wonderful they all must be. I have read about this disease in the past, and know how serious it is. There are those certain words I can never remember how to spell correctly, or even a phone number that I need that always slips my mind, and I pencil them in on the sides of my computer monitor. I have written “Randall” on the left upper corner of my screen, so I will be reminded daily to pray for him and his family. If this was my husband, family member, or friend, I would be desparate to get the word out for prayer. Tell Randall’s wife I am praying for husband, for her, and her girls.
LaFayette, Georgia
Dear Lord,
I approach Your throne with boldness and I ask for complete healing for Randall. Lord, I ask that you heal him in this life, if that is Your will. Lord, please be with Randall as he walks this path You’ve placed before Him. I know that You will be glorified in this. Draw him near to You and give him a peace that only comes in Your presence.
Lord, be with Jenni as she walks this path as a wife to Randall and a mom to her three girls. Lord, give her strength to take each moment as it comes and give her wisdom to make the decisions she must make. Lord, give Jenni a place to fall apart — in Your arms and surround her with godly girlfriends and family who will pray for her and stand beside her as she walks this path. Lord grant her the wisdom she needs to take the next step. Please give Jenni & Randall precious times together.
Lord, give each of these precious girls sweet times with their Daddy. Allow him the strength and health to make beautiful memories in these days. Lord, allow Randall the time to pour himself into his daughters — Lord, we know that Your ways are not our ways, but Lord I stand before the throne of grace & mercy and ask that you allow Randall a miracle on this earth. Lord, please give him more days to walk with you on this earth. Lord, please give him more days to spend with his wife & daughters on this earth.
Lord, please give Randall & Jenni a peace that only comes from you.
In His precious name,
Mary (praying in Central Alabama)

I am sending much love and prayers .

Heavenly Father, I come before you on this day to thank you Lord for everything that you have done in our lives….I thank you for your Blessings, your Power, your Healing, and most of all for you Salvation. God I ask you to touch and heal Randall, Lord we know that this disease is small compared to You…..we know God that with just a simple touch, he can be made whole. Lord your word says that if we ask in believing that it Will be done. There are a lot of people asking and joined together in believing for Randall’s healing. God reach down and make him new from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. I ask to you to wrap your big arms around Jenny and the girls and let all of the family know that You are right there with them. You said that you would never leave us or forsake us…..Lord I speak complete healing in the almighty name of Jesus Christ! Amen
Father, the Blacks are your family. And Randall is your son. So I ask you, in Jesus precious name, and in agreement with my sisters here, that you would place your mighty healing hand on Randall. Lord, let the doctors and all who are watching be amazed because it can only be You that intervenes here. I humbly ask that you let this be the way, in this situation, that you choose to show your beautiful glory.
Father, be with Jenny and the girls. Give them the peace that passes understanding during this time. Hold them so closely to you and let them not be anxious. Let them be able to fully trust You in this Lord. You know that we are dust and, Father, this one is just plain hard.
Surround the family with precious brothers and sisters who will minister to their every need in love.
In the mighty name of Jesus,
Amen
Abba Father and my Lord Jesus~ I agree with each of these requests and KNOW that YOU CAN heal Randall and use this for your glory around the world. Please do it Lord. Please! Please reveal Your glory and strengthen and sustain Your children and give them peace as they seek and wait upon You. You are Healer, Jehovah Jireh. You are good, great, All Powerful, All Knowing, and All Present. Please show your glory and cover this family in the cleft of the rock while You pass by in this situation. I love you and trust this family into your hands…
In the beautiful name of Jesus, I ask these things… a men & so be it.”
With love to this family and to yours as you minister to them…
Jennifer
Precious Lord, I come before You bringing Randall for healing that only You can do. Lord, You know Randall, You know his heart. Whatever the outcome, Randall is trusting You, Lord. I ask that You show Your mighty power and love for Your children and heal Randall from this disease. I ask that You hold his family in Your arms and comfort and strengthen them at this time and for eternity. I pray that Randall will be well and looking forward to a long life with his family filled with your grace and blessing. I pray with a heart that loves You and trusts that You are in control of everything. I pray with a heart that You know all too well in these situations, You’ve been here with me before. I thank You, Lord, for being with us and caring for us. I trust that You will do what is best. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Father God, I lift Randall, Jenny, and the girls up to you. GIve them your peace, your comfort, in this time of the unknown. Lord, we pray that you would heal Randall’s body. You are a God of miracles and we ask for one today. A miracle that would glorify you in a mighty way. Lord, we know you can do it, we believe you are able, and we ask, if it is within your will, for you would heal Randall for your glory.
~Normal, Illinois
Father,
We touch and agree with Your word according to Matt.18:19 and (Isaiah53:4-5 and (1 Peter 2:24). We enter into Your gates with thanksgiving and into Your courts with praise in the name of Jesus. We say, “Randall shall NOT die, but LIVE and declare the works of the LORD.”
We loose Randall from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease NOW in the name of Jesus! We say, “By Jesus stripes Randall WAS healed 2000 yrs. ago!”We say, ” By Jesus’ stripes Randall is Healed NOW in Jesus’ name! We now RELEASE HEALING into Randall’s body in the name of Jesus. Thank you Father that Randall has been REDEEMED from the curse of the law of sin and death and sickeness has NO LEGAL RIGHT to stay in his body. We speak STRENGTH into Randall’s body NOW in Jesus’ name. We thank you Father that You are a God of SUDDENLIES. We ask You to move suddenly by Your Spirit in Randall’s behalf now, stretch out Your Healing hand and touch him and cause Your healing to manifest in his body. We give You all the glory for the GOOD REPORT we believe we are going to receive suddenly by faith in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Summerville, Ga
Amen times a gazillion to all the prayers listed!!!!
My heart sank when I read the diagnosis. A handful of years ago a family brought their wife and mother into our facility, just a little older than Randall, because they no longer could take on the role of both family and caretaker.
Providing daily care for her, I have seen firsthand the wrath of this vicious disease. Rest assured, I will be in continuous prayer that this family, especially the children, never have to witness the ugliness that lies around the corner.
In Maryland, BELIEVING and PRAYING!
Please keep us updated!
Precious Father,
I come to you on behalf of Randall Lord, believing that YOU are who YOU say YOU are and that YOU can do what YOU say YOU can do!!!!!! I have seen you work your miracles first hand when you healed Nick’s eyes. You are a God of wonders and miraculous healing and there is nothing to big for YOU. Show us your power in a mighty way! BE BIG LORD!!!!! Heal Randall in Your name and for Your Glory we will continue to praise Your name!
For nothing is impossible with God! Luke 1:37
May this family continue to praise YOU through the storm, Lord that only You can shelter us from.
Praise You in This Storm
words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms
I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it’s still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
“I’m with you”
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.
Chorus:
And I’ll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I’ve cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can’t find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

I’m in Birmingham, AL.
Praying for healing right now.
Washington State
Being their pharmacist, I left a conversation with Jenny this morning blessed. Although this is a tradegy in our earthly minds, the surety that Jenny showed in her face that everything will be fine was comforting. It is hard to speak to people when earthly death appears certain, and I see this alot, but death loses it’s sting when they have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord for the comfort He gives!
Our family will continue to pray for this situation and that Christ be lifted up and glorified through whatever he wills.
Jehovah Rapha,
You are the healer, our healer, the Great Physcian and I call on you now on behalf of Randall, Jenny and their children. We know you are Sovereign in all things and if you would be so glorified, would you bring complete healing to this man? And Father, I pray for this dear wife. Give her more grace to face the days ahead, help her to know you as the sure foundation for her times. Be pleased to use this unexplainable difficulty to bring this family closer to you and bring those around them who do not know you to a saving knowledge of you.
Jennifer McIlwain, Cape Coral, Florida
This song blessed me this morning. May it encourage you!
I just want you to know that I can grasp in a very small way on to this one. Jenny, I have felt especially burdened for you. I just came up off the carpet floor of my apartment, and I’m still a little dizzy from being down there for so long :) I prayed with whole-hearted belief that our Jehovah Rapha CAN and will heal your man. He is able to do so instantaneously or slowly, and we will clap and sing with shouts of joy if He chooses to do so. We trust you God, that you really are a God who delights in the impossible and are able to do that which we have entrusted to you.
At the same time, we know that He may not chose to do so, for whatever reason in the stake of His glory. No reason will feel good enough, but its truth will endure.
I do NOT say what I am about to say as speaking words that aren’t life over your family, but I want you to know that I lost my Daddy when I was 20 in an unexpected situation. And I also want you to know that God brought me through it, and regardless of what He brings your sweet man through, God will bring you and your children and your husband through it.
I have asked him for supernatural peace and comfort over you Jenny. You are bearing the weight of your family right now, and how I pray that you can roll it over back to the only One who understands the turmoil of your heart and the only One who can fully respond to you sufficiently. He holds each of you in the palm of His hands. And whatever circumstances and the future hold, this I know b/c I have lived it, He will not fail you. And His love will continue to greet you morning by morning, and be unfailing.
It is okay to go through a wave of emotions. And it is okay to not have it all together.
I’m sorry this wasn’t exactly a typed out prayer of what I just got done praying, but I felt God put a burden on my heart for you, Jenny, after I pleaded with Him to heal your husband according to His purposes. You are in my heart sister.
Love, me
“Abba, Father,” He said, “Everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” Mark 14:36
“Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not.” Jeremiah 33:3
Magnificent, Almighty and Merciful Father, we plead for your divine mercy as we lift Randall and his loved ones to you in prayer. Please Father, speak Your invincible miracles, as we give You ALL the Praise and Glory. Make Randall a living, breathing Testimony of your Saving Grace and Healing Power as we Glorify You, Lord God, this day and always.
Please cocoon this precious family in your Holy peace, give them strength and courage as only You can while You restore Randall’s health. Show them “great and mighty things, which (we) know not.”
We offer this plea in Jesus’ hallowed Name; we praise you and thank you, all-powerful Father God.
Amen
(LaFayette, GA)
Our Great God and Father,
You are the one true living God, and you are our sovereign God. We trust you in all things. I rejoice with Randall for his faith and trust in you. The trial he and his family are facing is a difficult one, but not an unbeatable one (1 Cor. 10:13).
You are the only one Lord, who can bring healing to his body. We call on you and ask you for that Lord. Extend his life, and give him health to be used to glorify Christ and proclaim the Gospel so that more people might know and worship Jesus with him.
Lord, comfort this family with all that they face. Give them a supernatural measure of strength and faith. Encourage their family and friends around them to be resources for them through this, and give them all the desire of YOUR HEART, so that YOUR WILL is done (Rom. 8:28).

Randall, the Smiths in Monument, Colorado are praying for you brother. We are asking the God of all Hope to fill you with Joy and Peace as you place your trust in Him daily. Praying for you and not forgetting.
Lord, hear our prayers. Heal and be the God of deliverance for the Black family. We trust you Lord and We love you! In the name of Jesus, our Savior, Amen.
Father, We come to you, asking for healing for Randall, knowing that You can do all things. We pray Lord for Jenny, Alicia, Allison and Lindsay. Wrap Your loving arms around them and carry them through this storm. Whatever Your will is in this, let us never cease to praise You. If You heal Randall, let us spead the word and praise Your name all around so that Glory will be given for the healing. If You heal Randall by taking him home to be with You, then let Your comfort be the miracle that we praise You for. We know of Your comfort Lord, and we praise and thank You. We know that You will not give us more burdens than we can carry, but we have to be willing to lean on You. Thank You for carrying us in Your Hands.
In Jesus name we pray. Amen
Heavenly Father, We entrust Randall and his family into your care. We know each of them are your children first, and that you as a loving God have good gifts to give your children. We ask that you give Randall the gifts of healing and restoration. We ask that you give his wife and girls peace that passes all understanding. We ask that you give each of this family your joy, that is definitely unspeakable, and full of glory. We ask that most of all you would be glorified in each of them in the midst of what is going on. Thank you for your love for each of them, and your desire for fellowship with each of us.
We long to see your glory!

Sovereign Lord, I come to you now, asking you to heal Randall Black. You know Him and have known Him since before the creation of the world. Your hand orchestrates everything from holding stars in place to allowing our very breath. I pray that you will breathe life into his body again. Heal every inch. I pray peace and comfort that only You can give over each member of this family. I pray for Your name to be glorified and Your majesty to be shown. Holy Spirit, be amongst this family. Move and do Your work. In Jesus name, Amen.

Father God, I know that you made this man and You surely know how to overcome this disease. Your death was for healing as well as salvation. Wrap Your arms around this family and comfort as only You can comfort, after al you are the Comforter. You are also the Strengther, so please give them Your peace. Most importantly, You are the I AM and can be and meet every need they have. Give them all understanding for what they are going through and let them rest assured in Your love for them.
Thank you for what you are doing in and through them all. In Jesus precious name, Amen Barbara-Fort Oglethorpe GA
To all of you,
Your comments and prayers have touched me so much. While i am not a crier, i am moved to tears. Whether it is the Lord’s will for my dad to live or die, i am truly blessed. Because i have the chance to say goodbye, rather than getting a call one day that he has died in a freak accident . Maybe God has brought this upon him to heal him for His glory , but if not i am still blessed. I will never look at the world the same way. Thank you all for your prayers and support . Father , in thy holy name i pray , thy will be done.
