I am non-Christian but my mom is. I think. We never really talked about it and now she cant talk at all. She suffers from a progressive neurological disorder called PLS (Primary Lateral Sclerosis) she is in the hospital now because of a stage 4 bed sore (really bad to the bone :( ). Her name is Cynthia and we live in San Diego (the universe will know the rest :) )

Thank you very much and Blessed Be,

WiccanHeart

Father I lift WiccanHeart and his mom Cynthia to You. We may not know all of the circumstances but You do. I ask for YOu to meet each of their deepest needs and to pour out Your grace onto Cynthia and surround her with Your tender mercies. Grant her relief from suffering and minister to her body, mind, and spirit as only You can do, in the name of Yeshua, amen.

Wow, 63 posts, 62 entirely positive in support of a prayer request from a pagan. These are the kind of christians I most admire. The expressions of their good hearts are what most pleases me about the community of faith.

May you and your mom find within yourselves the far-seeking return which is your birthright from the nameless source of creation.

***

May the blessings of the god and goddess you hold dear be with you and your mom.

***

May the god of these devout christians answer their prayers for you and your mom, WiccanHeart.

***

In peace, Jesse

This is what makes me so happy and makes me come back here.

:)

Thank you everyone who are praying for my mom. I truely appreciate it. I will check back more often. It really does lift her spirits when I tell her about all the prayers.

Her name is Cynthia and her middle name is Ann she usually goes by Ann though.

Thank you very much again,

WiccanHeart

WiccanHeart,
I would like to give you this scripture. If your mother is Christian, she will understand it and I hope it helps her. It has really helped me in my physical problems as well.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes. The law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of coins of gold and silver. Your hands have made me and fashioned me; Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments. Those who fear You will be glad when they see me, Because I have hoped in Your word. I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right, And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me. Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort, According to Your word to Your servant. Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; For Your law is my delight. (Psa 119:71-77)

Father I lift Ann up to You and WiccanHeart. Minister to both as only You can do. Pour out Your grace upon each and surround each with Your tender mercies and loving kindness, in the name of Yeshua, amen.

My mom is doing pretty good. She got a new bed that can now be put in her room (she has been in the living room since Aug.)

I would like to request more prayers though, for my sister. I fear she is doing some bad things and I don't know what to do to help her. She isn't religious at all, she doesn't hang out with good people.

She has taken this whole thing with my mom the hardest I think. A lot of pressure is put on her because she is a female and there are certain things that I am not really comfortable doing. She doesn't seem to have the sensitivity of that sort of thing, she thinks she shouldnt only have to do things because she is the girl.

I have tried to keep her from doing certain things but she says that I cant tell her what to do. My dad works 7 days a week and doesn't "know" how to parent really, not that he is a bad parent, just he doesnt know how things are done because everything was taken care of by my mom up until 4 or so years ago. I help my dad with paying his bills and such, i go shopping for groceries, and other errands( things my mom would have done).

Without going into anything else please just pray for her as well. I would like to do some sort of intervention but i am afraid it will make her do things even more........

Thanks and blessed be,

WiccanHeart

Should I make another post concerning this or just have it in this one?

Wiccanheart, I will pray for your whole family. :crossrc:

One thing I thought about, if I was in your mom's position, as a believer I would love to have the bible read to me. Also have a pastor/priest/deacon from church come to visit me.

Can you offer to help your sister in whatever tasks need to be done? Things that you will still feel comfortable with, but also so that your sister feels less alone in doing these tasks?

The sweetness of prayer. How wonderful yet, the answer to prayer. God says, if you ask you will receive, if you seek , you will find, and if you knock He will answer. Have patience. God has heard and will answer in His time. Knowing this,- take this too. He says, Peace I give unto you , MY peace I give unto you . Not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled neigher be afraid. Praise and worship God. PEACE!

Father, may You guide this girl and her mother on Your path. You are the only Way to live, Lord. God, Your beauty shines everyday, and may the Pagans and non-believers realise Your truth. God, be with them forever. Be with her mother as well Father, but remember, Your will be done, becuase Your will is good, and may they all rejoice in Your name. In Jesus' Name, Amen.:prayer:

WH, Your dad is probably going through a lot too. Some men get very helpless when their wives have critical illness--not just over filling in household gaps, but emotionally. Especially when he can't influence your sister's actions. Everyone in the family gets flaky when life isn't what they thought it would be. We're all just kids, getting older and older.

Father, I lift up WH and his family. Thank you for his trust in answered prayer, thank you for his concern for his sister, his mother, and his father. We turn the situation over to you, because it's something we can't resolve on our own.

You have promised that you are a refuge in times of trouble; a refuge for the oppressed; a stronghold in times of trouble; and after grief, you will show compassion. Though we sit in darkness, you will be our light. By your wounds, we are healed.

(Nahum 1, Psalm 9, Lamentations 3, Micah 7, Isaiah 53:5)

Bring hope to their situation. Bind the family members together in concern for each other. We know that you never give up on us, Lord, and we trust you to work mightily to restore health and well-being to this family.
Thanks for staying in touch through this ordeal, WH!
