URGENT PRAYER REQUEST - My wife is sick

Greetings all,

Living in a third world country lends itself to exposure of bad food, parasites, etc. I am married to a native dominican, and she got parasites from some food we recently ate. (Interestingly I didn't get any, though we ate the same food).

She has been really sick for one week now. The doctors finally discovered what it was (parasites, amoebas - specifically). If she isn't better in a few days they are going to hospitalize her. I can't say enough how concerned I am for her well-being at this point in time.

There is no "right time" for an illness to occur, but within the last weeks of a semester only compounds the stress that I am experiencing.

Please pray specifically for:

1. Julie's recovery, that God heals her and provides comfort along the way.
2. That I may be patient, and God's love pours out through me into her life
3. That God gives Julie a renewed strength each day
4. That God lets me focus on schoolwork when needed, but to recognize my priority is my wife

I know we all come from unique experiences that bring different stress and joy. I thank you for your prayers and know that God will be glorified in all our trials! Praise be to Jesus, now and forever, Amen.

In Him,

Peter Schott
