Prayer Warriors for Elizabeth

While yesterday was a day of rejoicing, we still must understand how sick this sweet girl still is.  Two weeks ago, Elizabeth was showing homes to clients, going out to eat with friends, running with her sister, and going on dates with her boyfriend. Her lives and theirs were turned upside down in an instant. Today she lies in a hospital bed where she has been for almost 2 weeks in intensive care.  For the first few days, she fought to survive. Now she struggles to open her eyes, talk or even wake up.   I do not write this to bring you down today, but only to remind you how critical the situation is. We are so thankful for your prayers. We know that God has heard and answered our prayers over the last 10 days.  We beg you to please PLEASE do not stop praying- that in Jesus' name, Elizabeth would be healed completely!

I am going to challenge you today. The Bible says "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." (Matthew 21:22)  I believe this verse. I have seen it work this week. Hundreds, and possibly thousands of people have heard about Elizabeth and prayed for her life and her healing. Our prayers have been answered and we must continue to pray. I would like for you to commit today to be a "Prayer Warrior" for Elizabeth. Prayer Warriors are those whom make a commitment in their life to pray for something non stop until the prayer has been answered. Anyone- whether they know Elizabeth or not can commit to being a Prayer Warrior for Elizabeth. 

If you can commit to this (and please don't unless you can seriously can!)- please leave a comment in the section below with your name, city and state, and a time of day that you will set aside to pray for her DAILY. I will make the first comment so you will have an example. Then, if you will email me at heather.richardson@live.com with your mailing address, I will mail you a free "Prayers for Elizabeth" bracelet. You do not pay anything- it is a small gift for your priceless commitment.

**Remember- you must leave a comment- I will check to make sure you have left a comment before I mail your bracelet. Only one bracelet per comment. :)  I have 500 bracelets- I would love nothing more than to give 500 away for free.  That is how sincere we are about coveting your prayers.

Even if you don't commit to pray for her daily at a certain time, please lift these requests to our Father as you read through this blog:

PRAISE. Thank God for hearing our prayers. Thank Him for the work He has done in Elizabeth's life before this accident and what He is going to continue to do.

PRAISE. Thank God for the positive outlook that the doctor's gave for her healing. Praise Him for being the Ultimate Healer!

PRAY. Ask the Lord to heal Elizabeth whole. Ask Him to open her eyes, and that her eyes will be responsive to tests and that they will be able to focus. Pray that she would see the faces of her loved ones and recognize them.

PRAY. Pray that Elizabeth would wake up. Pray that she would be alert and conscious.

PRAY. Pray for Elizabeth's family as they continue to be with their precious daughter, sister, and girlfriend. Pray that God would give them peace, comfort and patience.

***
As I stated yesterday, Elizabeth has been moved to a different area of the hospital- but she remains in intensive care. At this time, FAMILY ONLY is allowed to see her. We will let you know when more visitors are allowed.  You will find the Parsley's at the waiting room on the 6th floor, and if they are not there you can leave a note at the nurse's station. Please do not just walk into Elizabeth's room.

Thank you so much. Don't forget to leave a comment if you are going to commit to being a Prayer Warrior!
