Please keep me and the rest of my fellow peers at Cedarville University in your thoughts and prayers. This is final exam week. We all want to do well so please pray that through this stressful week, we all can do well with our final exams, projects, assignments, presentations and essays, in order to finish the semester strong. Some of us, including myself, will be graduating this weekend which means on top of everything I mentioned earlier, we also have to be preparing for that this week, making us a little extra busy. If it's not too much trouble, please keep us who are graduating in your prayers too, praying that we do well with all the work we have to do this week, along with getting ready for graduation as many of us feel stressed about getting everything done on time and done well. For me personally, I am stressing out over not possibly receiving my diploma on Saturday, due to some classes I am worried about. Please pray that everything works out so that I am able to receive my diploma and move on the to the next step of my life that God has planned for me. Thank you to everyone who keeps all of us students in your prayers this week. May God bless you all!

On April 15th, a little girl named Ruby and her brothers, Imanuel and Noah, and other family members were involved in a van accident. Ruby was thrown from the van and sustained massive head trauma. She was put in an induced coma to help reduce the swelling in her brain. Ruby is very young. She is only in first grade and is currently a pageant title holder. She was also recently selected to be a dancer in Debbie Allen's stage production of Brothers of the Night but because of her injuries from the accident, she may not be able to perform in the stage production, compete in any more pageants etc. During all of this, Ruby has experienced many health issues including a lung infection and fevers. Thankfully, she is now out of her coma but she is still having trouble speaking because of the breathing tube she was using having irritated her vocal chords, only being able to mouth words right now and respond to things with her fingers. Please pray that God continues to lay his healing hands on this small child. She will also be needing surgery next week to repair bones in her face and physically, she has many more obstacles yet to overcome in time so please pray that God keeps this little girl strong through everything she will be enduring during this difficult healing process.

I received this prayer request from a fellow student at the university I attend and he asked me to pass the request along to others. Please pray for Harper Jane Hembree. She is one week old. She and her twin sister had Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome. They both died minutes before birth. Harper was able to be revived but her sister, Sealy, didn't survive. The family is heartbroken over Sealy's loss and worried about Harper because she is having kidney problems as well as breathing issues. Please pray also for Harper's brain development and pray that there is not much damage to her brain. The MRI will be done later this week for Harper.

Please pray for a newborn baby boy named Judah. Judah is facing complications with his heart. He may end up needing surgery, but he is not strong enough yet to have it. Please pray for baby Judah and his parents, Josh and Jill. I know this must be a huge testing of their faith and I pray that God would stregthen them as they trust their son into his care.
