Below is an e-mail I received the other day. This is not someone I know personally, but wanted to share with everyone out there that reads this. This young man needs A LOT of prayer support. This is the exact e-mail as I got it. I forwarded it to everyone that has signed up for the e-mails. If you want the e-mail and/or be added to the e-mail list for the prayer chain, leave me your e-mail address or send me an e-mail at matt_18_prayer_chain@hotmail.com. Thanks for praying, and let's all wait on God together! Be blessed!
Jason
I am starting a Prayer Signing for my girlfriend's son who is fighting A.L.L. (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia).
Nick Doize, 16, has been fighting this insidious disease for more than 3-1/2 years. He is a student at Taylor High School in Katy , TX , but has been homebound for most of his high school years. He is one heck of a fighter and remains positive, despite everything he has endured.
This young man needs all the prayers he can get, because he is trying so hard to take the pain like a man, even though it is excrutiating. GOAL: 1000 + prayers / signatures from all over the country/world, so please sign(type) your name at the bottom of list below, say a prayer, and pass it on to as many people as you trust to forward this on. Once the list reaches a thousand people, please send
this back to me at: jeaniemarkel@yahoo.com
When I get to 1000, I am going to print it, & email it to his parents & him, so that he can see how many people care and have prayed for him to get better. If you have a heart at all, you will all do this as a disciple of God. I love this kid and believe the best way for us to help him heal is to do as Christ taught us --- Have Faith, Ask, and It shall be Given unto You.
Blessings to you all for your prayers.

Angie
I received an e-mail the other day from a friend of my wife and I. She was asking for prayers for a life long friend of hers named Angie. Angie was diagnosed with breast cancer within the last week. They are not sure how advanced it is, or what the course of action is going to be. My friend told me that Angie's family has been through quite a battle with cancer. Her mother has been battling the deadly disease for many years and has recently gone into remission. Her father was diagnosed with a brain tumor and is going have brain surgery soon. Now this 31 year old mother and wife is dealing with her own world shaking news. Luckily Angie, as my friend states it, is the type of person who can beat this life altering circumstance. Why let her go it alone? I ask that everyone lift this young woman up to our heavenly Father for support and healing. Let us all stand behind and beside her in this time of need. When I get anymore information, I will post it on here. Thank you very much.
Lord,
We are told in the Bible that with You all things are possible. We call on you to reach out and bless Angie and her family. We ask for your comfort and healing to be on Angie as she deals with this news she has recently been given. We pray for a miraculous healing in Jesus' name. We ask that you will take the cancer from her body, and never let it return. May the doctors be so amazed by the discovery, that you can be the only real answer. May you also bless her mother and father as they are also dealing with their own battles with this horrible disease. We thank you in advance for your will being done, and if we never hear the outcome, may you get all of the glory, honor, and praise you deserve. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
A quick note, I have not heard any news on 'Briley', but I hope that you will all continue to lift her up for prayer until she is totally healed. Thank you all for reading, and be blessed!

Prayer request for 'Briley"
Last week I had the privilege to meet a little girl; we will call her "Briley". She is a 3 year old little girl that happens to be my wife's 3rd cousin twice removed, or however that works. She is a relative of my wife. She is an absolutely ADORABLE little girl, and she is very special.
"Briley" was born with only half of a heart. Don't ask me how that happens or how it works, because I do not have a clue. I do know that she had 2 open heart surgeries. After 1 of the surgeries she suffered a stroke. She was left paralyzed on the right side of her body. She is able to walk by 'dragging' her leg behind her. She has very little to no use of her right arm, but she does not let this hinder her. She loves to wrestle with her older brothers, and she LOVES to ride in the go-carts with anyone that will take her. She giggles the whole time and wants you to always go faster!
Spending the few days with this girl both melted my heart and broke it. When she comes up to you and wraps her good arm around you and lays her head on your lap, or when she raises her arm up for you to pick her up, you can't help but do what ever she wants. You want so badly to do whatever you can to make life easy for her, but deep down you know that she will never be able to adapt if everyone did everything for her. It is very heartbreaking to see her lose her balance and not be able to catch herself or stop the fall. I saw her do several face plants in the short time with her. Luckily it was in the grass or on carpet, so it did not scrape up her face. She did, however, fall over backwards on the hard ground several times. It then takes her a little bit to get herself back up.
Talking to her family, they told me that the doctors do not have much hope of her ever being 'normal'. She has to have electro-therapy and Botox injections among other things, just trying to improve her mobility in both extremities. Hearing this caused me to want to pray for this girl every chance I got. I know that with God's help her chances of living a normal life with full range of motion, increase dramatically. That is where each of you come in.
The Bible talks about the power of prayer. Jesus says in the 11th chapter of Luke to "...ask and you will receive, knock and the door will be opened." He also says in the book of John chapter 14 verse 14 "You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." There are many, many more verses, but the last one I want to give is Matthew 18:19-20: Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."
That is the purpose of this post, and this whole page for that matter. I want to lift this little girl up in prayer, and I want to get as many people as possible to pray for her. I want to try to get thousands if not millions of people to gather before our Creator and ask Him to heal this precious little girl.
I ask that each and every one of you that read this to pray for this little girl. At the bottom is a short prayer that you can recite, or you can add/take away anything you want. The important thing is that you go before the Lord and ask for His healing power to be poured out onto this wonderful girl. I have created an e-mail address for those of you that want to be put on a mailing list for updates and other requests for people that I get. I will also be posting on here as I get new information and/or requests. Also if you would please, leave any words of encouragement or just your name, because I hope that the families will also get to read these and be blessed by the many people from around the world that are thinking about and praying for them.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this. Please pass this on to anyone and everyone you know or think might be interested in this. Also, if you have a request or need, either leave it on here or e-mail at matt_18_prayer_chain@hotmail.com. Take care and be blessed!
Father God, I come to you in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit. I ask you that you please heal 'Briley' (don't worry He knows who you are praying for). I ask that you restore her use in both her arm and leg. I also ask that you heal her heart. I pray for a total transformation in this little girl and that she can grow up lead a normal, healthy, active, life. Also Lord, please bless her entire family emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Let them feel your presence and see your glory. Once again in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Welcome to the Matthew 18 Prayer Chain
"...pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results." - James 5:16 NLT
Jesus told several times in the New Testament to pray without stopping. Our nation as a whole has not completely stopped, but we have slowed way down.
The point of this page is to inspire prayer. Hopefully, this will become a community where people can come together to pray for specific prayer requests, and then have updates on the people/needs they are praying for.
If any of you have a need or request either comment on here, or you can e-mail them to matt_18_prayer_chain@hotmail.com
Please your name if you would like so maybe, the people can see how many people are praying for them and potentially be blessed just by that information.
Also, share this page with everyone you know. We need to get as many people praying. The Bible talks about our prayers being like incense before God. Let's fill Heaven with a beautiful aroma, and see what awesome things God has in store for us. Take care and be blessed!!! J.M.
