Conservative Christianity Prayer Thread

[Tangeloper]

Lord, we come before you with sorrow, anger, and disappointment in our hearts. The community we are a part of at this site, and many of the friends we have come to love are under attack by virtue of our love and obedience to You. We pray that you would send your angels to fight against those who are perpetrating these evils -- causing damage, anger and spite to form in our midst. We also ask you to send your angels to surround those people who are specifically under attack right now, so that they may be protected from those who wish to do them, and us all harm. Lord God, please protect the innocent people who come here to learn more about You and your son Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior from falling into the snares that have been laid around this site now... Please Lord, help us to fight against the forces of evil who have risen up to cause strife, anger, and hurt within this community. Please Lord show us your mercy by helping us to combat against this evil whether it be contained in human flesh, or if it is indeed Satan's demons who are organizing and delighting in this attack. You have promised, and we truly believe that You are the King of Kings! You alone are the Lord of Lords! and in your presence evil cannot stand. We ask you to come among us here, now, today, and we ask you to please assist your faithful followers as we prepare for battle in your name. We may not be taking up swords, but rather we will be using our keyboards, our rosaries, our prayer beads, or simply falling on our hands and knees and praying, but we still need your help Lord -- for we cannot overcome these things alone. We thank You for the blessings you continue to show us daily, and we thank You for watching over us, and being there for us, no matter what! We pray this in the name of your son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior! Amen.

Praise the Lord, I have some good news to share!

We visited with the doctor today who figured out what was causing the chest pain my husband was experiencing. It seems that the cartilige joints that attach the ribs to the sternum are sore which is causing the pain in his chest. So, we are grateful that the doctor was able to set our minds at ease regarding the pain.

Another issue my husband was worried about (a bulge in his abdomen) turns out to be an unfortunate side effect from his abdominal muscles weakening while he was laid up with his back. This kind of thing usually affects older people, but can be hereditary as well. It is nothing serious though and should have no effect on his health in the future, either...

As for the Pancreatitis... We are cautiously optimistic given the fact that he is not experiencing any abdominal pain right now. More blood tests were taken today to rule out the possibility that it is progressively worsening (which usually happens within 24 hours). We will find out the results of today's blood tests tomorrow, and as long as the enzyme levels have either stabilized, and/or lowered we will be able to follow-up again with more tests next week. There is some concern that something he experienced last February that was diagnosed as an intestinal bacterial infection might have actually been a case of acute Pancreatitis that was overlooked/mis-diagnosed. However, as of right now he is NOT experiencing abdominal pain so that is a VERY good sign...

The doctor has also said that if the tests come back good he will be able to return to work tomorrow which is a great relief as we were just catching up from his being off for 6 months with his back...

My whole family thanks you for your prayers, and we greatly appreciate your continued prayers as well!

Thank you Lord for watching over my husband and my entire family. Lord, please abundantly bless my friends here who have prayed to you on our behalf. They are a great blessing to me! I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, your son, my Lord and Savior... Amen.

Lord, please bring peace to this place.
Father, heal the hurt that we cause one another.
Teach us to love you and our brothers and sisters.
Give us wisdom and discerment, Lord, to know which batles are worth fighting, and when to withdraw.
Help us to shine Your light, Lord.
And please, Father, give us Your joy, even when everything seems dark.
Because You are our joy, Lord, You are our strength and our song.
Thank You, Lord, for Your unchanging love and Your unlimited grace.
In the name of Jesus
Amen

More good news to share!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!

The blood tests taken yesterday show the levels to be down 10 whole points! They are still well above normal, but on a downward trend which is VERY good!!! My husband is still non-symptomatic from the pancreatitis so that is even BETTER news!

Praise the Lord our God for he truly works miracles! For my husband NOT to be in pain right now with the pancreatitis is amazing, and a HUGE blessings. As is the chest pain that brought him into the ER in the first place. We cannot figure out how he could've possibly hurt his ribs as he is still not allowed to lift anything over 20 lbs. from his back surgery?!?! Perhaps this was God's way of getting him to go to the doctor, and showing us something was wrong in another area!!! (God surely knows how stubborn my hubby is!)

Well, anyway your continued prayers that the downward trend continues till he is back to normal is appreciated! We will be going in for follow-up tests with his normal doctor this coming Monday...

Thank you so much for all of your prayers!

God bless all of you!

Has everyone who wants to signed up for Lisa's wonderful prayer chain?

Now would be a really good time to cover Moriah and Frei in prayer

 

[Tangeloper]

I can't go into details, but I would like to request prayers for my ex-sister-in-law and most especially her two young children who have been taken into foster care... Also prayers for those of us who know her, and are very hurt by what has happened would be appreciated. It is very hard to find forgiveness as these problems have occurred before. Please pray that the judge and her case workers make the right decisions so as to not put her children back into jeopardy. There is not much I can do as these children are not related to me (she remarried). Please also pray for her older son, my nephew, who is no doubt having a hard time dealing with this... It even made the TV news here and I was completely broadsided by this tonight. I can't imagine what her son must be feeling (his father has custody of him). Thank you all so much...

This has not been an easy week for me, but I know God is watching over all of this, and everything happens for a reason, even if we don't know what that reason is. I'm grateful to know that at least for now I no longer have to worry about these young children as they are being cared for -- well, I hope...

 

[Criada]

Lord, please protect these little ones. Wrap them in Your arms, Father, give them peace and security.
Lord, let Your will be done inthis situation. Give everyone involved wisdom and understanding.
Heal the hurt and cut through the confusion, Lord, hold this whole family in Your love.
in the name of Jesus
Amen


praying for you very, very much, Tange.
God bless you.

As a former foster child myself, I understand somewhat just how frightened and alone these babies feel. You have my prayers for all involved. In fact today my character is wearing tears just for them.

[Lisa0315]

Please pray for me. I suffer from clinical depression and it is mostly controlled. I feel worse today that I have in a long, long time. Hard to explain and many have reached out to me in PM, but I can barely even respond. For me, anger, even justifiable anger as I felt on Moriah's behalf, always turns inward. I am having a very, very bad day. I really need prayers from all of you.

Lisa

Already praying for you, sweetie.
Very glad you posted this - cos I wanted to, but wasn't sure if you'd mind...

You are very special to all of us here - and even more special to God.
