Prayer Requests

"Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it." ~John 14:13-14 

I feel compelled to publish a list of prayer requests for certain people that I know; some better than others. Since a handful are unaware that I am posting this, I'm choosing to use only initials, but I know God will know of whom I speak.
First and foremost, I believe it is important to pray for all of the participants running in the Boston Marathon tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be unseasonably warm, with temperatures rising to approximately 86 degrees. When this happened during the Chicago Marathon a couple years ago, numerous people were hospitalized, and I believe some deaths occurred. Hydration is key on hot days, but the balance must remain even. Intake too many fluids and risk diluting your electrolytes, which can lead to hyponatremia and possibly death. Intake too little fluids and risk dehydration and potential heat stroke, which can also potentially kill a runner. My friend's brother, John, is running, so specific prayers for him would also be appreciated.
I would also appreciate if some prayers could be extended to an acquaintance of mine in Northern Ireland. Her name is Emma, and she is battling an eating disorder, and is six months clean from her drug addiction. Eating disorders are difficult mental issues that convince one they are too fat and shouldn't eat in order to gain some control in their lives. Please pray that Emma finds strength in the Lord and is able to defeat her anorexia before the worst occurs.
Please also pray for my friend HB as she struggles with pain stemming from either a previous back surgery or a pinched nerve. The source is yet unknown and she should be seeing a pain specialist on the 26th. Please pray that she finds some relief from her pain so she can sleep and regain her energy, along with answers to why she is in so much pain all of a sudden.
Please pray for KS who is spending the summer down in North Carolina and is searching for a church home and a Bible study group. Venturing off into the unknown can be difficult, but fellowship with other believers can help ease transitions, so please pray that she finds a church to become a part of.
Also, please pray for KM as she tries to figure out whether to remain at her home church in the fall or to branch out to a new church that is closer to her new job. This decision is something that is weighing on her heart because she is unsure if she should stay because she enjoys the choir, or if God is calling her elsewhere.
Also pray for CS who is transitioning into a new phase of her life from graduate school into ministry for God's kingdom. Many at school will probably not understand, but please pray for her to continue to follow her heart in the matter and to not be concerned about how the world perceives her decision.
Last but not least, please pray for the Shorb's in France. They will soon be searching for a new apartment when they begin their church internship in another town in France. Please pray that their move goes smoothly and that they will be able to connect with people so that they feel less alone in a foreign land and are able to share the Gospel with their new neighbors.
