Prayer Chain

[jenelis]

Celtie--

I pray for that special teacher-- for her safety, peace and successful delivery of her baby.

I have A prayer request too... for a 5 year-old here in Florida that I met briefly at a tradeshow. She told me her mom had left the family and I experienced an angry outburst aimed at her by her father. I ask for prayers for her well-being and that she feels safe and loved. I fear she does not and that she may never know God.

My 6 year-old daughter has included this child in her nightly prayers since the encounter with her over three weeks ago. Please pray for her-- her name is Stephanie.

 

[Celticflower]

Tough times don't last... Tough people do!!! My name is Gary Hogan. Some of you receiving this know me, some do not. My wife, Cindy, is 32 years old and has just been diagnosed 3 days ago with stage 4 cervical cancer and her chances for


survival are very slim. She was pregnant with our second child and had miscarried recently at 3 months and now we know why. This is


a request for you to forward this e-mail to everyone you know


asking for prayer. The more people that pray for her to be healed,


the better. Pray and forward. It only takes a second to hit


"forward". Please do it and don't delete this; your prayer


can and, perhaps, will save her life. Please pray and ask


everyone you know to pray for the HEALING of Cindy and the removal of all


cancer in her body so she may enjoy all that life has to offer, and


to continue to be the wonderful mother to our 5 year old son,


Michael.The power of Prayer is unsurpassed. I want the whole world to


have her in their prayers the next few weeks. God will hear our


cry. Please do not be offended by my plea. This is only a request


for your help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading


this and helping with our request for healing. No words can


express the power we have when we each do a little to come together.





Regards,Cindy's in-love husband - Gary Thank you, and please send it


to the far reaches of our world.





I do not know them personally but this was sent to me by a friend from school Thanks guys I know you won't let them down


God Bless

Unfortunately, I must urge you to ask your friend at school where they got the email from. The chances are pretty good that the hogans don't exist. There is more here, and here.

Regardless of this being a hoax, and a disrespectful one at that.. I know how it is, those things are so believable. I still think that we should still pray for all people who may be in a similiar situation. We should pray that those with cancer find strength and that their suffering is eased.

This past week my father in-law was diagnosed with brain cancer. The outlook is not good--one doctor gives him 3-6 months the other says it is a matter of weeks. My husaband is making plans to fly to Idaho over Thanksgiving to spend some time with his Dad. Whether the kids and I go will depend, in part, on what Dad's condition is. We will also need to be ready to travel to PA when he passes for the funeral. (His first wife is buried near Harrisburg).

I ask that you pray for Dad, his wife Lily and his 4 sons. Pray that those who must travel at this time do so safely. Pray that God will take Dad home gently if it is His will that dad's end is at hand.

Thank you.
Celtie

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Even though I am going through similar experiences with my dad, I cannot begin to imagine what you're going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

A prayer request for our church. Our associate pastor, Pastor Curran, is scheduled to fly our this morning at 0300, for a mission trip to Cuba. I ask everyone prays that he has a safe flight there and is able to reach out to a great number of people. I also ask that he has a safe return flight.

Also - my dad's operation was successful. But now he is set to begin the radiation treatments tommorow, to kill the remainder of the tumor. I ask for prayers that everything is successful.

Thank you and God bless - K'pelli.

 

[ChrisLockhart]

I have no prayer requests myself.. but I want to let the last two to know that I will include theirs in my prayers.

 

[jenelis]

That's a tough one CelticFlower. I will pray for your Dad, Lily and the boys. I pray that everyone finds peace and comfort with God's wil and that Dad can be comforted by prayers and love.

And thank you for your prayers for Stephanie-- the five year old who was obviously abused. It just broke my heart to see her with so much UNLOVE surrounding her in her small little world.

My father in-law is apparently coming to the end of his fight with cancer. As of Sunday he was refusing to eat and was dehydrated. When his son took him to the clinic he refused to let them give him IV fluids. I don't know if it has any bearing on his actions, but the anniversary of his first wife's death (my husband's mother) is this month.
I ask that you pray for the family at this time. Thank you.

I have a serious request myself. My 16 year old son has become more and more depressed and has now spoke of suicide. We have him going to a psychologist twice a month and another mental health doctor as well. They have placed him on medication that seems to have improved his moods. But I am terrified to leave him alone now lest I come home and find he's followed through on the suicidal thoughts. We had a wonderful talk two nights last week where alot of good new ground was broken between he and I but his relationship with his father is about the worst I've ever seen it. The boys have been raised in the church....my husband works in the restaurant industry so now our son has informed us that the reason he's so depressed is that "daddy didn't spend any time with me when I was younger". I am trying to be understanding but this news has devastated my husband.

So please keep all of us in your prayers. Pray specifically for the bond between my son and his dad to be restored. Slowly, quickly, I'm not picky. I have faith that God has a plan for my son.

Thanks for all your appeal to God on our behalf.

We are praying for you. I have three teen-age children. A couple of years ago my (then) 15 year old daughter said similar hurtful things. We went to a family counselor, and things gradually turned around. We both enjoy our time together. I'm glad you treat the situation seriously, and I hope and pray that it turns around for you.

My prayers are with you. I don't know if this helps any but your sons story sounds very familiar. I attempted to commit suicide 7 times when I was his age. I was very depressed and was also put on medication. I went through hospitialization several times and never did have a decent relationship with my abusive father or my battered mother. I didn't step foot in a church for 20 years and when I did I was trying to get something for free. This story has a happy ending though. I now attend church twice a week, am part of a bible study program, volunteer my time helping out with the church programs for young children and I just help out where I can. To top it off this next sunday I am giving my first sermon.
Sometimes it helps to just remember that someone else has been where you are now and things turned out well. If nothing else Christ himself went through a whole ordeal of tribulation on his way to the cross, he succeded in doing his part to give you a reason and the strength to carry on. God bless, Hang in there, and good luck

Thank you so much for the encouraging words....they are deeply appreciated.

I just received a call from my older brother and my 80 year old father is in intensive care at the hospital in my hometown. He had a pancreatitis attack last night. The doctor is not hopeful for his recovery. Please pray that God's will is done. My dad is one of the best Christians I know so whether he continues to live on here or goes to be with his heavenly Father is not up to us.

received word yesterday that my father in-law passed away. Funeral arrangements are incomplete, but we will need to travel to PA at the end of the week for the funeral. Please pray for my husband's family and all family members who will be traveling.

Hello all,

I got an email from my sister-in-law today. The pastor of the Nazarene church my family and I attended when we lived in SC was told by his doctor yesterday that he has pancreatic cancer. There is only a 5% survival rate so please pray with me as we trust God for the other 95%!! Pastor Scott is a wonderful man....only about 47 or 48 years of age and has a wife and two beautiful daughters.

Thanks for your prayers for him, his family and the church.

God Bless,

My sister, Lynette, received the results from her breast biopsy on June 16th. The results indicated she has Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, which is malignant breast cancer. Results showed cancer in one breast, but she is choosing to have surgery on both. She attendes College Church of the Nazarene, in Olathe, KS. I've mentioned her here, in other threads.

Her surgery date has been set for this Friday, the 24th.

Lymph testing will begin at 8:30 a.m. Then the surgery will be underway by 10:00 a.m. Her surgery will consist of Breast tissue removal of both breasts.
While one doctor is performing this procedure, another will be using abdominal muscles to reconstruct her breasts. Reconstruction time should take about 5 hours. Fortunately, she is in a state that requires insurance to pay for reconstruction, with this process, which not all states do.

I'm currently reading Lessons From The School Of Suffering, by Rev. Jim Willig who talks about his walk with Christ, through Cancer.

Please pray for both her surgery and possible healing prior to surgery.

Thank you,
Scott
