   I will keep Matthew and his family in my prayers. I nearly lost my husband this past spring. Doctors didn’t think he would survive, but our prayers were answered. Time and time again, he made it through one crisis after another and there is no doubt in my heart that there was divine intervention. Prayer works. It heals and it gives family strength.

   Strength and healing is derived through prayer, and Matthew will be in mine and my family’s.

   What a privilege it is to pray for this boy, whose family recognizes God’s sovereignty. That says a bunch. Thanks Michelle, and pass this along to other believers! Let’s break the 1,000 mark!

   I know first hand that amazing things do happen. Two and a half years ago we were told my son would die. Now he’s upstairs refusing to go down for a nap…

   Count me in as part of the 1000.

    Matthew, you and your family will be in my daily prayers and on July 3rd. Believe in the cure.

    Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

    Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you. Psalm 55:22

    Of course, and Godspeed to your son. I’ll “send a memo to the boss” asap.

    It’s wonderful to see reponses to something like this. I wonder if it ever happens on blogsites run by “sensitive” progressive-secularists? An abject lesson in reality.

    Absolutely. Bless you all. Michelle, bless you for your courage and heart to post this, for God, and for Matthew ,and for the family of Matthew.
    We’ve been promised that we can do all that Jesus did, AND MORE!
    The power of prayer is awesome and we claim good health for Matthew in the name of Jesus Christ.
    Awesome.
    I will put Matt on a prayer list, if it’s OK with the family.

    I too will keep Matthew and his family in my prayers. I have gone through several bouts with serious illness. I have been on life support (a breathing machine and tube feeding) five times in as many years, and have had three surgeries. The doctors told my family several times that they didn’t believe that I would make it. We had people from all over the country praying for both my family and I during these episodes. I now am out of the hospital, I am able to walk (although with severe limitations), and I use my time now to blog.

    My God is an awesome God who can make the blind see, the lame walk, heal the sick, and turn water into wine. I pray that He will use this time if trial to both strenghten and bless Matthew and his family.

    Matt and Family,

    Please keep up hope that everything will come out okay. I was dianogosed with a Level 4 brain tumor last Thanksgiving. It was completely removed and hopefully it will not recur. Matt, you are in my prayers.

    The news is good:

    On the most recent page of comments there’s one from the mother of a girl who has an inoperable brain tumor. If you’re so inclined, you might try your luck there, too. And for those of you who know the monicker “burrhog,” please keep Keith Johnston in your prayers, please.
