Prayer request - Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
My real life ^ | Sep 24, 2011 | Self

Posted on 09/24/2011 1:09:50 PM PDT by fightinJAG

Hello, FRiends.

I've been here a long time and have been privileged to participate on a lot of prayer threads over the years. Never posted one, though -- I'm not even sure where to do so! So, if this needs to be moved, please do so.

My R/L situation doesn't permit me to post a lot of details, but the Lord knows those. I love Him with all of my heart and mind and soul and strength and I do try to always love my neighbor in the same way I love myself. And I know how powerful the prayers of God's people can be.

On Monday I'm having some major, difficult surgery, which is somewhat riskier than usual because I am not in the greatest health. If you would pray for me and my family, I would be so grateful. I humbly ask that you please pray for my safety through the surgery, a safe and smooth recovery, and a good prognosis.

I especially ask for prayer for our teenaged son. This is one of those "my world is being rocked" moments for him. He's a committed Christian with a precious love for Jesus. Please pray that he experiences God's strength and comfort in a new and deeper, maturing way through this situation.

Thank you very much and God bless you for your faithfulness to Him and the needs of others, including those in the body of Christ.

FJ

Will remember you and your son in prayer. Praying that the Lord will comfort both you and your son as you face this serious challenge. Praying that the Lord will guide the surgeons. Praying I Peter 5:7 will be more than words on a page and will fill your hearts with peace.

Prayers for you and your family.

Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

I am sorry to hear about the illness that is causing you and your family so much turmoil, but we serve a mighty God who is able to deliver you out of any situation, and he will never, never leave you or forsake you, that is His promise. Focus on what His word says, not on what the doctor’s word says. I have a list of healing scriptures posted on our website if you would like to have a page to meditate on before Monday. http://www.willdallas.org

My wife and I are praying as soon as this is posted.

Praying for you and your son now. May Jesus be with you both at all times. I really do relate to what you're going through, but of course, Jesus does even more.

I will be checking back from time to time, but just want to say I am so moved and comforted already by your support and that of all on this thread. THANK YOU.

It’s been an incredible blessing to pray for my fellow freepers over the years. Now to be the one held up in prayer . . . it’s awesome, I have no words to describe it.

Thank you again.
