Prayer for Anna Fleming & her parents

Posted by tom | Jun 29, 2007

Just a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to join the whole Fleming family in celebration of Larry Fleming's retirement from Grove City College's Accounting Department.  It was a great joy to give testimony to the Fleming family's deep care for students expressed by a years of connection with InterVarsity's work at Grove City College and Cedar Campus.

Now we are joining them in ardent prayer for the healing of Anna, Scott and Nalene Fleming's 3.5 year old daughter, who is currently in Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Earlier this week, she had a tumor the size of a grapefruit removed from her abdomen. That tumor had burst and was malignant. As of right now, Scott and Nalene are waiting to hear what kind of cancer it was and what treatment is going to look like for Anna. You can keep up with Anna day-by-day at this website: http://foranna.wordpress.com/. We ask you over the weekend to join us in approaching the throne of grace as we lift up Anna over meal time, devotional, and bedtime prayers.  In addition, pray for

1. The Father's continued gracious gift of physical strength and discernment for Scott and Nalene as they step forward minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour, day-by-day managing the complexities of Anna's care, her attentiveness to details, and the pressures of their regular responsibilities from a perspective shaped by the Word, guided by the Spirit, and enacted in the reality of our fallen world.

2. The People of God to be Christ for the Fleming family during this time of emergency treatment and beyond through the time of recovery . . . providing care, meals, space, and ears to listen. 

3.God’s sustaining work at Rocky Springs PCA, even a deepening of his Presence during a time of dependence upon his power in Fleming family and the lives of the local assembly as a whole.
