Church Like Family

Submit prayer requests and praise reports here!

We believe that a church like family shares life's celebrations as well as life's challenges together. Whether it's the birth of a child or graduation from college we love to celebrate God's blessings in your life.


We also realize that life isn't always easy and we need each other for prayer and support. In the passing of a loved one or the loss of a job we want to be a family that comes alongside each other in prayer as we walk through life with one another. We recognize that there are milestones that simply need to be shared with the church family at large.


“Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn” (Romans 12:15)

Here are some recent updates from your church family.

Helen

For months, every morning, my 24 year old grandson, Devon, has been throwing up bright green bile, has diarrhea, and is always in pain. He's been to his PCP many times but the earliest he can see the Gastrologist is October. He needs help sooner and will be going to Maine Med ED this Thursday. Please pray that someone there will be able to help him and diagnose this correctly. Thank you.


Sarah

I’m feeling like a very ineffective Christian and I guess I could just use some prayer that I would be more effective for the Lord.


Suzanne Conti

Please pray for Steve Frank's sister, Suzanne. 1-1/2 yrs ago she was diagnosed with ALS and her mobility and body functions have rapidly decreased since the diagnosis. She's lost the use of her legs and hands and is wheelchair bound. Please pray we can navigate through the very confusing myriad of social services red tape to get her the in-home care she needs.


Beverly Youngberg

I had been diagnosed with Long Term COVID in 2022, and it has taken a toll on my body both physically and mentally. Since being diagnosed, I’ve not been back to work because I physically cannot do what I had been able to before getting sick. Since being diagnosed, I’ve not been back to work because I physically cannot do what I had been able to before getting sick. Please pray for God's restoration of my health and for financial provision.


Theresa

Please pray that Aaron will be set free from alcohol addiction and to come back to God.


Diana

Please pray that the Lord will lead Diana to find a rental in the Biddeford area.


Chris Savage

Needs prayer to be completely healed as he needs a miracle. He has stage 3 bladder cancer and his kidneys aren't functioning well, so chemo is not an option at this time.


Kim Lindahl:

I need prayer for my legs as my job requires a lot of walking and I have been experiencing pain in my legs. I presently have vein problems but this is to the point of extreme pain after a day of work.


Helen Pendleton:

My son Scott wants to go to detox and rehab. Please pray for leading and guidance from the Lord as to placement for him.


Sarah:

Please pray that my block to healing is removed. I can’t seem to get past anger, unforgiveness, and bitterness.



Michael Downes:

I recently had to go on dialysis since I’ve lost all function with my kidneys. But my experience in my come to Jesus moment came from a very good friend who visited me in the hospital, who made me see that Jesus and the Lord are in my heart. I have many years of dialysis as I wait for a kidney. Please pray.


Andrew S.:

Andrew is experiencing depression and anxiety to the point of sickness. Please pray for peace and deliverance from this torment. (Col 1:13)


Tracy Shaw

Please pray for my wife and I for financial assistance, a place to live, and most of all healing and recovery from my heart transplant. For anyone who wants to offer a word of encouragement or prayer you can reach out to Tracy at snshandymanservice@yahoo.com.


Gary Snow

Please pray for my mother and I for protection and financial provision.


Jackie-

I would really appreciate it if you could keep me in prayer as I recover from surgery to repair a perforated colon. Also, I have a second surgery, for a liver lesion, coming up in about 6 weeks and I would appreciate prayer in advance of that surgery.


Stacee McKenzie-

I lost my voice a couple months ago, and found out I had a huge goiter that was obstructing my breathing and voice box. I had that goiter out along with my right thyroid. I can breath praise God! I do not have my voice back yet though. Please pray I get my voice back. I have been so blessed with everyone reaching out and praying for me and my family. I love my New Life family. We've been here since Sam was a baby almost 12 years now!
