Prayer Request for our little one

Family and Friends,

We are writing this email in hopes you will stand with us in prayer. We are so excited to welcome our little one, although the journey so far has been a bit rough.

Please stand and call on God with us in prayer for a healthy, normal baby; mind, body, spirit, will, and emotions.

Our simple theology on prayer is this:

• We believe “God’s will” was with a perfect world in Eden. (Which He will eventually restore earth to His perfection again)
• Because we sinned in Eden, We currently live in fallen world with fallen people.
• “God’s will” currently allows for this “fallen-ness” even though Jesus died in exchange for us due to our sins. 
• Thankfully, as people of an Almighty God, we can approach Him and ask Him to move or change his direction or our circumstances on our behalf. We see this throughout the Bible when people asked, even though it didn’t look like it was in God’s plans, people asked and it was granted:
  
  Moses: Exodus 32, Moses requests earnestly from God to spare the people. God does.
  
  Blind Man: Luke 18:35, A blind man calls out to Jesus even though Jesus is just passing by. He never intended to stop and heal him except the man cried out. Others told him to be quiet but he kept calling. Jesus heard him and healed him.
  
  Woman asking healing for her daughter: Matthew 15:21. A woman came to Jesus and the disciples told Jesus to send her away and even Jesus said He came for others. She continued telling him even dogs eat the scraps from the masters table. Jesus told her she had great faith and her request was granted.
• Whatever God does or doesn’t do with any of our requests we choose to praise Him, believe in Him, trust in Him, bless Him, glorify Him and love Him.

Thank you for your love and prayer requests,

Fadi and Jessica
