Please lift up Amanda's dad (Jim Stookey) this week in prayer, especially Wednesday. He is having surgery on Wednesday morning for his inner-ear disease (Meniere's Disease). The purpose of the surgery is to help minimize the frequency of his vertigo attacks caused by the disease or potentially take them away completely.
A little apprehension comes with this surgery as they do have to drill into his skull, and it could also have a tremendous impact on his hearing (risk of hearing loss). Because it also affects his balance, he will have a significant amount of vertigo attacks for 2 weeks as an immediate side effect of the surgery.
We believe in the power of prayer, and I love that we have so many prayer warriors we can call upon around the country.
"And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." James 5:15-16
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:24
"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people." Ephesians 6:18
