Don't know if this guy is still a freeper but thought we could add him to our prayer list.

Since I read his request on FR last June/July for his son, I've been following Matthew's remarkable recovery. When I check the site a few days ago, there was a care page for the dad.

Holy Lord,

We cry out to You on behalf of this family in need. Both father and son are experiencing frightening health problems and they need Your hand of healing upon them. Hide them in the shadow of Your wings until these calamities pass by, Dear Lord. We know that nothing is too difficult for You, and we are confident that You know everything they need. Give them courage to face down these trials and to emerge victorious----hand-in-hand with You. Bring good to their lives even during these times of darkness, and may Your light shine upon them to make their path clear. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Yes, you are reading correctly. Fortunately, at this time, the son’s tumor was removed successfully last July, he is taking chemo and there is no sign of any cancer at the present time. It’s an amazing story. Their other son had seizures and they stopped just before Matthew’s cancer was discovered!! Also, the father’s mother died a few months ago from cancer.

Wow, what trials for one family. My prayer is they keep the faith and know that He is God.

My other concern is where does this family live and does this have something to do with the cancer?

Prayers for father and son, that they may find healing and peace in the cradling palm of the Lord.

May God the Father bless us,
may Christ take care of us,
Holy Ghost enlighten us all the days of our life.
Lord be our defender and keeper of body and soul,
now and for ever, to the ages of ages.

To: Faith; Kitty Mittens; All

We cut off generational curses with the blood of Jesus in this family. Set them free in Jesus’ name! Father, we believe it is Your will that they be made whole—spirit, soul and body—and so this is for what we pray. We also pray that through this test, they might have the power to apprehend the experience of Your love, what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it].
