DAY #20 - TERESA REHMEYER
As an RN, Daran’s wife Teresa helps with the basic medical needs of the children coming to the CarePoints for meals and education. On a daily basis, she not only tends to the physical hurts, but because of the love that brought her to the team, she also gives the children a glimpse of Jesus and His love for them. Pray that the children she treats will continue to encounter God’s love, and that Teresa will be able to give them the care they need - physical and otherwise. Pray for workers and resources to help her touch even more children with the love of God through medical care.
Today, we have invited Dr. Cheri LeBlanc who leads the Healing Hands Medical Ministry of Healing Place Church, to lead us in prayer for Teresa Rehmeyer.
- Heavenly Father,
Today we lift up Teresa to You. You have chosen her to fulfill a special role in the lives of these children, the workers in the CarePoints, and the 'Cup team. Lord, she serves them all with all she has. Let her see that it is Your hand that is extended when she touches a child that is ill. And as she places her hand on that sick child let her know in her heart what needs to be done, beyond her years of training and natural wisdom. Father, You promise us that when we do all we can in the natural, You will accomplish the supernatural. We pray for miracles of salvation and healing to flow through her obedience to You.
Father, protect Teresa's mind from thoughts of discouragement as she is faced with so many medical needs. As she goes to sleep at night, guide her thoughts to all the things she WAS able to do that day, and not the things that she had no provision for. Let every person she was able to minister to that day think of the loving Jesus they saw in her smile and gentle touch.
Father, we ask for You to give her Your vision of how to care for their medical needs, and we ask for favor to provide the resources needed to realize that vision. Medical care is such a need in that country and provides an awesome avenue to show the love of Christ, one precious person at a time.
Lord, protect her and her family, keep them healthy. In the name of Jesus we come against any distraction that would try to keep her from the task You have given her. Give her peaceful rest each night. Give her joy each morning as she fulfills her calling of being a mother, wife, and leader; for our joy is our strength. May each day‚s challenges bring her closer to You.
We ask all this in Jesus' precious name, Amen.
