Dad Thomas seeks employment, while Ed's voice continues to recover. Carol's daughter successfully started a tractor in Alaska, a small victory in a remote location. Cody and Glenn are praying for better sleep, and Scott prays for peace and bodily health. Thomas prays for deliverance from pneumonia, and Ronnie seeks clarity of thought. Harriet prays for strength and grace, and Lisa Medina prays for salvation and gospel preaching. James and Judy pray for brain recovery, and Will and Keisha pray for a liver transplant and salvation. Glenn and Vicki seek healing from chronic pain, and Eldon prays for healing of his back pain. These prayers reflect a community's commitment to supporting one another through faith and intercession.

#### Administrative Notes

Our net control for this session is WB7MAX, and we meet daily at 6 a.m. Will, who is off the prayer list for hernia surgery and a new throat procedure, and Beck, who made a lighthearted comment about a handyman doing odd jobs, add a touch of humor to our discussions. Our closing remarks from WB7MAX remind us to stay connected and committed to our spiritual journey.
