Hey guys. This is an urgent prayer request. I just found out today that my good friend Jacob is up in Mayo Clinic (in Minnesota) because of his diabetes. He already has one of his mom's kidneys and needs another transplant to live. Except the cost for the transplant is way more than they can afford. Obviously, we need a miracle here. Please pray for one. God can perform one, and if it's His will He will. Jacob is dying as I write this and in the Urgent Care and Trauma Center. I've already lost two friends and I don't want to lose another. I would - and he would especially - really appreciate your prayers.
I've never felt this tense ever since my dad got hit by a car. My fingers are trembling as I type; it feels weird. God is in control. However please pray that I would trust God through this. And ultimately, pray for Jacob and his family that they would have peace of mind and supernatural wisdom and discerning through this situation.
Thanks so much, Jonathan

I cannot even begin to cope with the pain you are going through right now. I will definately pray! Just remember, God works all things for the good of those who love him. His sovereign hand is in EVERYTHING. Something good will come out of this, no matter what the outcome!

Thanks Kenny and Nick for the prayers. And Zach for that word. We got an email today from Jacob's dad on his status. Unfortunately, it looks like he's not going to make it:
Dear friends, Our son Jacob is not getting better as we had hoped. In all honesty, he is dying. He and Marianne [his mom] are traveling this weekend to Minneapolis, and he will be checking into the hospital. Every doctor that he works with are going to work on him and do tests to see how much damage has been done because of the C-Diff bacteria that has been growing in him since after his surgery in January. Please pray for him and for us. He is depressed and scared, knowing that he is in fact going to die. I cannot even begin to imagine how frightful that must be. We are trying to help him not give up too early. These next few weeks (or days) we have with Jacob will be remembered forever.
Thanks for your prayers everyone. Please pray for them especially. They need the prayers way more than I do. Jonathan

God WILL answer our prays even if it's not EXACTLY what we pray for, He DOES have plans for "a hope and a future" for us, and knows what is best whether it's what WE think is best.... God is almighty and soverign!!!!

EVERYONE! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!!!
My dad, bro, and I just ran into his dad and JACOB last night at the movies and he's not going to die!!! In the words of his dad, "he's like a new kid." I told him that several of my friends have been praying really hard, and he said, "Well, tell them I could not be more thankful for their prayers and the Church as a whole. I really appreciate them, even though I don't know them at all."
It turns out that he had pancreatic cancer and needed to have it removed. They're hoping to get a transplant in June. He still has diabetes, but that's the least of his problems.
Guys, you've all heard of miracles. Now you are actual witnesses of one. The doctors gave him only a week or two to live, but now "he's indescribably better," as the doctors put it. This past wednesday he traveled back to Illinois with his mom. We were all praying for a miracle and here it has finally come!!! It was the only thing that could've saved his life and his purpose for living was not over in that hospital bed. God answered our prayers!! I was literally screaming for joy when I got home from the movies.
Once more, thank you so much for your prayers!!! Praise the Lord!!!
Now back to studying for an AP exam....
