Please pray for my cousin Little Will.
He is 6 years old, has been battling cancer and liver failure, and now has a fungal infection in his brain.
His parents were on the verge of divorce but have commited to working on their marriage. Please pray for the entire family.
Thank you

Unfortunately Little Wil has taken a turn for the worse.
He is vomiting and has a fever.
The Doctor called his grandma and said he may pass away anytime from tonight to maybe a couple weeks..... [img:left][Linked Image from s29.postimg.org][/img]

Today's (Monday) update on Little Will: he had a good night. He slept most of the night. His fever went backup to 103 but did come down with Tylenol. He ate a few pieces of beef jerky (one of his favorite foods). Considering that a few days ago, They did not think he would make it through the night, this is wonderful. Thanks for all your prayers. Please continue. We believe in miracles.

update from my Aunt:

Little Will has a 4th infection.

But PTL....he is still with us!!!! Please continue prayers. We are grateful for EVERY PRAYER.

I especially love this one from Wil Kaiser.

Oh Lord of all glory, all we have in our critical times of need is You. Your own Word expresses to us that you alone are our Refuge and strength.

Your Word promises, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." (Isa. 41:10,13) Blessed Jesus, God of all Healing, grasp the hand of Little Will and 'up hold him with Your righteous right hand'. You've charge us to have faith in Christ, in Your promises, to believe that You will do what Your Word says you will do.

You have declared, "I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is there anything to hard for me?" (Jeremiah 32:26) "I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security."

And so we are forever attached to You and to Your Word in faith and belief for Will's miraculous healing, even today, Lord. And Will's heart, his parents, his family, so many Christian brothers and sisters cry out to you, "Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise." (Jer. 17:14)

And together with the many who pray, we proclaim Will's healing in Christ alone! We are eternally grateful, O Lord, for your perfected care and keeping of this one we fully surrender, fully entrust to you.

And together, in Christ belief, we declare the VICTORY over all evil infirmity that is attempting to steal this little boys life, steal his parents joy and human treasure.

Thank you Lord for revealing Yourself in great power and authority to intercede in Will's health circumstance to purpose him long life to bring you all praise and all glory, for you alone are worthy, O Lord. Amen

Thank you all for your prayers.
They are greatly appreciated. The Bible tells us to "pray for one another" and it is so comforting to know that we will be with our loved ones in Heaven after our days on earth are over.

Unfortunately, Little Will passed away today.

Please keep his family in your prayers.

Thank you.
