Howdy Everyone,

We are facing a challenging moment, but God has already given us victory…

Cara recently had a mammogram for a concerning mass that formed during her recent pregnancy.

The radiologist has expressed concerns, and while we are awaiting a biopsy and results, we are standing in faith and believing for healing, peace, and God’s protection over her. 

As we walk through this time, I am are asking for your prayers and support in a special way.

Starting today, I am asking all who are willing to join us for the next 7 days of focused prayer and fasting for Cara. (Her biopsy is scheduled for the 17th.)

Each day, we will be lifting up specific prayers using Psalm 91, along with other verses from God’s Word as our guide, asking Him for protection, healing, peace, and strength. 

I will post the days prayer every morning on my blog and here.

I’m inviting you to join us in covering Cara with these prayers and believing with us for her complete healing and peace as we await the biopsy results.

Below is the prayer plan we will follow each day. 

I encourage you to pray these points daily with us and, if you're able, to fast as well—whether it’s a meal, social media, or anything else. 

Let’s unite in faith, trusting that God hears and responds.

Thank you all for your love, prayers, and support during this time. 

We trust in God’s plan and know that, no matter the outcome, He is with us every step of the way.

When trouble shows up, we don’t stop being people of faith—that’s when our faith starts doing its BEST work, moving mountains into the sea!

The enemy loves to convince us that he has power over our lives, but that’s a lie. 

We will not fall for his noise and confusion—God is in control! 

By His stripes, we are healed. 

By His cross, we are justified. 

By His death, we are redeemed. 

And HIS RESURRECTION is our guarantee that we will have life—abundant, more than we can ask or imagine! The best is yet to come! —PZ
