Prayer Requests (From Angie)

Posted by on Jul 7, 2013 in Updates | 22 Comments

This week has been incredibly difficult and exhausting, emotionally and physically. It feels like we are tested at every turn, but we won’t get down. Our hope will not be stolen, nor our will to keep going.

Our doctors here are wonderful and one came by today to see Will. Will told him, “We want to do this. I can handle a lot. I’m not your average bear and there’s no amount of pain that will stop me. I want to do this. I have a strong drive and will in me. I just need help. Just tell me what I need to do.”

Two hours later these words were tested. Will was moving and heard a crack in his spine along with terrible pain. We called the paramedics and they transported him to a local hospital. We are now in the ER waiting to get imaging of his spine.

Whatever is going on right now will not get us down! We might get down for a minute, but it will not beat us. It cannot win.

I sure don’t want to ask for anything more, but I just feel like yelling, “We’re ready! If the Lord is with us, then do whatever! You can’t stop us!” We’re ready to fight with all we’ve got… and honestly that’s not much… but we believe that we have endless resources in our Lord. And he always provides abundantly in every way and wherever we are.

We were surrounded by love and support in LA and we find ourselves surrounded by love and support in Phoenix. We will not give up! The fight for Will’s life…. the fight for hope… the fight for faith!

We need help. We can’t do it alone, but the more difficulty we face, only stirs more of a fight in us.

Oh, Lord, help us. Please show your mercy.

    I’m a friend of Dan Beck’s and have been keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for months now. Know that there are many of us out there, unknown to both of you, but who are beside you in spirit and humbled by your courage and passion for life, and in awe of your deep-seated faith in God. We just can’t find the words that we think will comfort you from afar. Praying that someone today will finally be able to provide Will relief from his pain and the miracle you seek.

    We met Will through Jenny and brad Ritter. He stayed the night with us, and what a fine man he is. We are praying for The Lord to surround you and the doctors with His love and strength.

    I don’t know you, but wanted to encourage you! You and Will are His kids, His precious ones, protected by His mighty hand. Praying for God to use this time to grow and restore relationships, deepen faith, and bring more glory to Himself as He travels this road with you. Will is in the hands of a loving God – praying for a beautiful miracle!

    Such powerful, powerful words. You are like a general and I would respond to your battlecry anytime. I am on the front lines with you. Will, you are the greatest fighter I have ever met. I can’t believe all that you are persevering through. I love you both so much. Thank you for sharing your words and story with us. I pray and hope we will all join as much as we are able in fighting right alongside of you. #goteamgray
